THE HOUSEFURNISHERS
Cont of Living and Wages.
The cost on commodities in general ad
vanced between 20 and 30 per cent, last
year, while in only a few occupations
was there an advance in wages, and in
thoe few the increase w as not 15 per
cent, on the average. 'The purchasing
power of the great majority of the Amer
ican people outside t!ie agricultural class-,
es ," says the United States Investig.
tor in a discussion of the situation, 'Vi
no larger today than it wag a year ago.
Take lawyers, doctors, ministers, te tell
ers, editors and reporters, accountants,
clerks in banks and cilices, stenog
raphers and typewriters, salesmen in
stores and on the road, and n aiy other
classes. Have tl eir incomes increased?
If they have not, it is an important mat
ter. These people really constitute the
c'aas which makes the prosperity if the
country the class to whijh neither at
taches poverty nor riches. A: e they in
a position to stand an advance of ba
tween 20 and 30 per cent, in the costof
living? This is a question any house
holder can am wer for himself. It stands
to reason that if steel and iron have a I
vanced 50 pereeut.he is not going to buy
what steel and iron products he needs at
anything like old prices. If he wears
the same kind of clothes he did last sea
son, he has got to pay higher prices for
them, as textiles have advanced 33 per
cent. If his wife goes out to buy stock
ings for his children she finds that she
must give more than formerly, 40 per
cent, in some cases. With lumber 33
per cent, higher than a year ago, he, ol
course cannot expect to get bis carpen
tering done as cheaply as before. Drugs
and chemicals are higher, consequently
It will be necessary to keep himself and
his family as cheap as possible. TIk bj
are but a few instances of the enhanced
cost of living,"
What is to be the outcome of this situ
ation? Evidently, either wage must go
up higher or the price of commodities
must fall. It is more likely that the
latter will be the solution. A good uuny
fictitious and temporary causc-s have op
erated to aiivane pric trust combi
nations, the tariff, war taxes ind these
cinnot continue f r jrer. But meantime
the fallacy that prosperity is measured
by the rate of wage dollars and cents is
cne that every man who works for a
livlug should refuse to believe in. Bos
