THE WEST DID IT. Neither Wall Street nor Candi- date Hughes seem to have fully recovered from the shock, and while the West and South, satis- fied with a duty well done have forgotten the election at which they so thoroughly put the ‘ki- bosh’* on the pampered capital- ists of the Kast, Wall Street con- tinues to bet on Hughes and Hughes continues to neglect to congratulate Wilson. It was some election. terests against the people, Strect against the West, money against patriotism, and Wall Street; its interests and big mon- ey went up against a combina- tion.that ,was too strong for them, Besides it was unexpected. New York went for Hughes, and the East like one of our own lo- eal politicians many years ago put on a celebration, but as in that same instance Kast Boone township had not yet been heard from, and when the morning af- ter, the returns from the west cvame rolling in, the blow must have been awful. - If ‘‘frenzied finange’’ has in’ the past been a term, “frenzied finan- ciers’? became a reality baek east in the cold grey dawn of Wednes- day inorning. If it were not that its sins have heen so many and so great, one might almost sympathize with poor old Wall Street in spite of one’s self. First Mr. Wilson with act knocked her financial control of — the country galley west, and now the west comes in and rudely ousts her from the political dominance of the nation. Then, too, Wall Street is out a good deal of real money on the deal, Besides losing a fair sized wad on bets_on Hughes the great- er part of the great G. O, P. cam- paign fund ‘came from her cash Hill, and the result is that litle old Wall Street is getting a taste of the medicine she has been dealing out to the, public for a godd many years, a good dose of a lot of nothing for a great deal of something.

Berlin pays 8 cents for T.T quarts of milk. Potatoes are 1 1-2 cents for 1.1 pounds, or 21-cents a peek: our wholesale price is more than double, and a Western moving picture | show has sold admission tickets for two potatoes each. — Berlin’ pays 6 cents for 1.1 pounds of cornmeal; though corn is an American spe- cialty the price cannot — be matehed in New York. Even butter, in spite of the dearth of fats in Germany, costs 39 cents for 1.1 pounds, well under _ the New York price. Bread, in war time, doubly the staff of life, costs the Berlin hausfrau 9 cents for 1.1 pounds, practically the same as the New York 12-ounce loaf at 6 cents. Measured by of dollar exchange, the German mark has been for weeks at a discount of 25° or more per cent, some portion of which represents paper currency inflation in German markets. Sven if no allowance be made for cheap inflated money, the puz- zling problem remains why New York at peace should pay so much more for so many foods than Berlin at war—New York World.
