I on Greenhouses St in Cost of Living The gradual increase in the high cost of living for a few years past is becoming a problem of vital im portance to the average householder of today The cause contributing to this result is being widely discussed through the press of the United States as well as In this Dominion and the conclusion very generally reached places the cause of the rise to organized combinations and trusts In some of the cities of the neighboring republic leagues have been formed to combat the beef and other trusts with the boycott but the situation shows no sign of weak- Indeed the trusts appear to have gained such a national hold that those seeking to counteract their influ ence are liable to- become the great est sufferers Agitation however may possibly arouse public resent ment to such an extent that the trusts may be forced to reduce their marginal profits to reasonable figures on the capital Invested No doubt high tariff protection contributes to help

homelife As a result the cost of production of all kinds of manufactured goods ne cessitates higher prices both to whole salers and consumers The fast age in which we live coupled with selfish ness is probably the root of the trou ble Legislation may correct to sunfi extent or curb the power of the trusts but the operation of the high er principle of the moral obligation to as we would be done by
