HIGH COST OF LIVING The most outstanding causes of th e modern “high cost of liv ing^ are two. Labor unions, which were formed to fight against great injustice, have at length become powerful enough to practice injustice themselves, and most hum ans will be un ju st if they have the power. Employers, who once tyrannized over employes and kept wages down, are now tyrannized over toy combinations of those same employes. The cost of every thing except farm products Is thus made too high, for you cannot rent a house or buy a hoe as cheaply if the labor em ployed in producing it is over paid as you could if the rate of wages were fair. Second, the middlemen who handle all kinds of goods, especially products of the farm, take four or five times as much toll for th a t service as they did a dozen years ago. The effect of this is felt a t both ends. The farm er gets less for his work in producing and the consumer pays more for the product.
