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.
In England the rise in cost of
lumber, brick and stone has
doubled the cost of building. It
was found
