It only remnlna now to determine,
by comparison whether the prices of
tho necessaries ot life nro higher
hero than In other countries, and
whether they uro lower In Great
Britain, .the ono frco-trado country,
than in the United States and tho
protective countries of Europe. For
this purpose I have compiled the
tables which follow. It Is very dif
ficult to obtain statistics of prices
ranging over any considerable period
or covering fully any market. I have
gathered tho figures which follow
from such official sources as I could
llnd, and lmporfoct as they aro I
think thoy throw n groat deal of
light on tho question of prices and
demonstrate, first, that a tariff has
little or no effect on tho general
prices ot necessaries, and, second,
that although world prices have ad
vanced, prices of tho necessaries of
life are not, as a rule, higher In the
United States than elsewhere, and in
many cases are lower.
Statement from tho London Ex
press for November, 1909':
A volume of statistics issued on
Saturday from tho board of agricul
ture is a damaging answor to the
claims of the freo traders that food
prices remain almost stationary In a
country without tariffs.
Ono of tho many promises made
by tho Liberals before the last gen
eral election, was that under a free
trade government tho price of tho
necessities of life could not Increase,
and that tariff reform meant dearer
food. These statistics show conclu
sively that it Is free trade that
means dearer food. In tho last three
years the price of nearly evory artl
clo of food has Increased. Here are
some cases where tho prices have
gone steadily upward:
Increaso
s. d.
Wheat (quarter) . 3 9
Bread (4-pound loaf) ....
Beef (hundredweight) ... 3 0
Pork (hundredweight) ... 3 G
Butter (hundredweight) .. 4 6
Potatoes (ton) 20 C
Wheat Taking first tho caso of
wheat. The returns aro only com
piled to tho ond ot 1908, and there
fore do not show tho great Increase
that took place this summer, when
wheat reached tho astonishing price
of 48s a quarter.
Tho averago price of wheat In
1909 was 32a. a quarter, or Is. fid.
moro than In 1907, and higher than
In any previous ycrfr since 1898.
Only twice in tho last twenty years
hns wheat reached nn averago of
32s. a quartor.
Bread. Tho price of broad, of
courso, Increases with that of wheat
and tho llgurcs show that since 190G
tho increase has been equal to an
extra hnlf-penny on tho 4-pound loaf.
A half-penny on every loaf Is n great
hardship to the peoplo and makes nn
enormous difference in tho working
man's budget.
Moat. Tho rlso In tho prlco of
heof has been just as remarkablo as
In tho caso of brend. Whllo beef foil
slightly between 1904 and 190G, It
has rison rapidly In thu last three
years. Since 1904 Scotch beef has
gono up from GCc. to 58s. n hun
dredweight, and English from 51s
Gd. to 548. British pork has risen
from 52s. to 55s. Gd. and from 57s.
Gd. to 64s.
Provisions. Tho averago prlco of
all classos of butter was substantial
ly higher In 1908 than In 1907.
Irish creamery butter roso from
Ills. Gd. a hundredweight in 1906
to 11Gb. in 1908. Danish butter
from 118s. Gd. in 190G to 121s. Gd.
in 1908. Canadian from 110s. Gd. to
11Gb., Now Zealand from Ills, to
118s., and Argentina from 107s. Gd.
to 117s.
Vegetables. Potatoes which were
G9s. Gd. a ton In March, 190G, wore
90s. a ton In March, 1908. In re
gard to other vegetables and fruit,
the returns only comparo tho years
! 1907 and 1908, but the Increases for
the twelve mouths are notable
Report of Consul-General Griffiths
on costs of living in Great Britain
(United States Consular Report, Nov.
3, 1909):
"These prices are to bo found In a
report Issued by the British Board ot
Agriculture, and a comparison in tho
report is instituted between the
prices for the years 190G, 1907 and
1908. The prices for 1909 would
not be lower than those given for
1908.
"An examination of the report dis
closes, that, with the exception of
mutton and pork, the prices of meat
were higher In 190S than in 1907.
It will bo noticed that butter was
very much dearor In 1908 than In
1907, and thnt broad was appreci
ably higher. With tho excoption of
apples and pears, almost all fruits
wero dearor In 1908 than In 1907."
