They can be trusted to continue further jeduotions as they may be enabled to do as time goes on and raw materials and transportation costs become lower, and labor increases production. ' Only by the combination of all the forces that raised prices can we reach a new tide-level, justly lowered by actual lowering of costs. Whatever power we have as large buyers at first hand shall be fairly and fully exercised to meet the points the public justly expect.
