Tho rail roads have not cars enough to handle the business mid there is a country-wide complaint on ear shortage. The clothiers will show you notices from New York and Chicago of an advance of 12 to 25 per cent in cost of spring lahrics. The dry goods merchant will show you notices of still greater advances in suits and dresses with shades running to green the experimental American dyes not giving very good satisfaction, nnd nothing guaranteed. The hardware man will show increases running into the hundreds of per ev.ui on various articles und hard to get, nt that. Shovels ore climbing like skyrockets. Gul vanied iron has gone up 100 per cent. The electrical sup ply houses tell the same story in foci, everything that conlninB zinc or copper or iron or other metal used in war munitions 1ms increased enormously m price. ICverything that contains analine dves has soared in price since the Herman supply was cut off. Paint has gone up and red paint is prohibitive, a $fl can is how $15. And white lend and zine cost more, and linseed oil and turpen tine and even the can that contains it, has gone up for the can trust is making cartridge clips. I lie printer is hard hit. All quotations are oil on ink and paper, Jt is almost impossible to secure yellow, red, blue or other colored inks at J500 per cent increased cost and oven black ink is mounting. Paper of all grades has gone up from 2.1 to 200 per cent. The scarcity of blenching chemicals has given all the newspapers a yellowish tinge. .Fertilizers have increased J00 per cent in cost. If the farmer gets more for his crop, the profit is eaten up in in creased cost of phosphates, nitrates and manure. The (jornian nitrates are cut off. The Chilean beds are not yielding. Ocean freight has quadrupled and the vessels are carrying munitions and supplies. The druggist has an awful tale of woe. Everything in the drug store costs more. All the chemicals and drugs started up in price, with the war, and have kept on climb ing and will continue to climb until the normal conditions of supply are restored. The eatables and necessities of life arc higher. Eldur is higher. Sugar has gone up $2 a 100 pounds. Meat products are higher. Almost every line is affected, for the war has thrown the commercial world out of joint ami demoralized commerce. Higher cost of production means higher cost of consumption and the people pay the cost. To these increases, caused directly or indirectly by the war, must be added the increases caused by human greed and monopoly taking advantage of (ho situation. The high price of gasoline is a sample of this greed. Prosperity, or the wave of over-production which nl ways follows hard times, or the wave of under-production, creates high prices, even under normal conditions, under our present imperfect and crude industrial system a do vise of the capitalistic system to benefit capital. The re vival of industry always means more work for labor, slight advance in wages aud larger increase in tho cost of living. It is accompanied by expansion and inflation, which naturally create a period of depression to take up the slack. 'I'lio cream of the prosperity, as is always the case, is skimmed by the speculators and stock and bond owners. As these are comparatively few, a period of "prosperity" always increase's the prosperity of the few. The dividends on Standard Oil outweigh the increased cost of labor or materials of iiroduetion. The same is true with the rail mads, nnd all great industrial corporations, especially the mushroom munition plants. None of them feel the pinch of the inctvnscd cost of living. The bulletin of the National City lrnnk of New York thus siiiiiinarises the luincM situatien: Prlifa art liHn pushed upward, but itrofltn nro uncertain to manufac turer tinli'iiH tli liuvtt covorml ttwir riiqufii-iui ni for nw matrrluU.
