IteaMiu for Higher Price*.
Among the reuont assigned for
higher price# are these: The In
creased cost of producing fgnn pro
ducts. the greater demand lor farm
products, combinations and assocla
ttona. the gold supply, the labor
unions, the coat of distribution, cold
storage, sanitary and other regula
tions. over-capitalisation, immigra
tion. the. higher standard of living
and freight rates on the commodities
of life.
The relation between the tariff
and the increased cost of tiring is
thus diagnosed by Mr. lAdffe:
?The tariff seem# to have' been po
material factor lp ' pausing Xbe ad
vAaae or pM&ga during" the Mat de
cade. The greatest advances have
heea made la commodities upon
which the tariff has little or no effect*
gad the absolute -removal pf the tariff
on many of theae commodities could
not have afforded relief at tfeg pres
ent time, for the reason that prices
of these commodities, with a few ex
ceptions. were practically as high la
ether countries as la the United
States.. The advance In prices dur
ing the past ten years appears to
ha no relation to tariff legislation.
"The groups of articles which have
?bown the greatest advance-^ the
products of the forest and the pro
ducts of the farm ? are those for
which there has been practically no
<ik tariff during the past twen
ty years wh)?* could In any way ac
count for the increase in prio*. The
tariff acta of ???4. I8f7 Arid 190t
lave made no changes which to any
kjipreclable degree measure the
flfcghgea in prices which have taken
t>taee."
In brief, the deductions of the re
port show theae conclusions:
per cent during the past ten years.
Of forty-eight articles of food, thir

fame price, and twelve declined;

population, but the supply of hogs la
materially less.
The effect of all combinations and
asaoclations la to advance prices. The
report aaya:
"Labor unlona have not been ap
parently a aerloua factor In contrib
uting toward advancing prlcea. Since
189? wages h^ve not advanced as
faat aa prlcea."
The greatest advance In prices
have been In the groupa of commodi
ties where labor coat la not a con
trolling factor. Reduction In hours
of labor is not a contributing cause
to Increased prices.
The expenae of distributing food
products by wholesalers and retailers
has increased by reason of high
rents, taxes, wages, cost of horses
and horse feed:
Advertising has grown unreason-!
ably during the. last few years, and ,
this Is eepeclally true of package
goods. The cost of advertising has
also Increased. The report further
?ays:
"Gold storage plants have tended
to level prices, although they have
enabled, the dealers to take the best
possible advantage o I conditions both
In juarahaeliig when prices are low
?nd in veiling when^ prices are high.
"Hgf^have shown a greater ad
vance sinee 1900 than has any other
article of food. Thta is probably due
largely to aupply and demand, but.
also jn part to the fact that cold
storage hae artificially forced up the
price during: the sprang months."

'sufficient reason has ever existed Mr

with the Government of Nicaragua
as conducted by President Zelaya.
No adequate excuse has ever come
to my notice."
Mr. Stone's criticism angered Sen
ator Cullom, chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, who re
plied that there is ho State Depart
ment official now and haa been none
for many years who does not per
form his duties for the benefit of the
American people and from patriotic
motives. He said the correspondence
between the 8tate Department and
his commltte baa been exhaustive
and would convince anybody but the
Senator from Missouri, who is also
a member of that committee. It
waa accepted as satisfactory by all
'the other members.
This IrMtated Mr. Stone, who re
torted that in his opinion the State
Department explanationa are not
sufficient or satisfactory. He could
I find nothing In the correspondence
| to answer ihe questions he desired
| investigated by the committee.
8enator Keen, another member of
the committee, said If diplomatic
matters were to be discussed he
would move for an executive esssion.
This threat stopped the heated col
loquy and the resolution was re
ferred to the Committee oa Foreign
Relations. ? ? ?

Senator Stone wee asked the name
of the "former high official of the
State Department" who Is allied with
certain powerful financial interests

say that he Is prepared when fee

that "former high official" but the
names of his aasoclatea and employ
