Higher Prices on Importations.
The very latest Import figures show
that the prices of materials, manufac
tures nnd foodstuffs brought Into the
United States nre steadily going up.
The cause may bo,as difficult to fix as
that behind the advance on home prod
ucts. Foreign exporters may argue
that if the American people stand bfeh
prices on things raised or made at
home they won't cut short purchases
of foreign goods because rates go up.
On the other hand, it might be sup
posed that trade policy would lead
them to keep prices down and under
sell some lines of American goods.
However, statistics relating to im
portation prices for the last half of
1000 indicate that the advance in the
prices of articles brought into the
country is merely keeping pace with
the upward tendency of prices where
tbo goods originated. It is no new
tale that the cost of living is advanc
ing pretty much the world over. There
fore the cost of producing and han
dling goods for export has advanced In
tho countries from which we buy. Men
in the export trnde are conservative, as
a rule. They seek. Drat, to retain
trade once built up; second, to guln a
fair profit, and seldom put up prices
recklessly.
The more the Manehurlun railroads
neutralization scheme Is considered
the nioro It commends itself as well
fitted to do equal Justice to all and to
permit special privileges to none. This
should not be an argument against It
lu the sight of any of the powers.
The announcement of the bureau of
slatistics that imported necessities
have risen In price as much as domes
tic necessities will give do shock to th
ultimate consumer. lie loog ago gavt
up as useless looking for a place to
dodge. .. . ......

Farming and the National Forests.
In view of the prominence Into
which forestry has been brought
through recent controversies an 1
events, a word upon homesteads with
in the reservation from the secretary of
agriculture's latest report may help to
clarify the subject for those at a dis
tance from the regions vitally involv
ed. Believing that the facts bad been
misrepresented, Secretary Wilson said:
"I made personal Investigation of
these matters during the past summer
In the states of Idaho and Wyoming.
I found no evidence that the national
forests are withholding from settle
ment land now demanded for agricu
ture." Under the act of June, 1006, land
within the national forest area may be
opened up to settlement. Upward of
1,500 homesteads, with a total area
of 140,000 acres, were listed under
this act In 1009. Improvement In
farming methods and Increase In pop
ulation is likely to Increase the de
mand for farm land such as may be
found within the national reserve do
main, and the secretary remarks that
the present Is not the time to decide
where the line should be finally drawn
as to the advance of agriculture Into
the forest reservation.
