TREND OF PRICES. Retail prices increased two per cent in the month ending June 15, announces the Labor Department of the United States. The same an- nouncement declares that wholesale prices decreased one per cent Details further show that food prices, wholesale, decreased 2 3.4 per cent and clothing, wholesale, de- creased 3 1 per cent Living costs generally are nine per cent higher than in January. These figures, of course, are general, made after a survey of the whole country While they cause a feeling afainst the increasing wrong of prices the small consumer has to pay, one thing must be remembered ! They were not compiled after an investigation of New Britain alone; they may or may not apply at all to prices in New Britain And it is believed that they do not apply. Certainly one would not say that on June 15, when nearly every store window displayed cards nnouncing reductions, prices had ached a new hikh mark here It is believed that prices here have lowered during the summer. Mer chants have had all sorts of trouble with transportation of gooc and have had otk worries, but they have been making reductions in dry t00ds, clothing and miscellaneous ar- ticles, to the benefit of the people here But the figures do show an increase in the tendency of merchants all over the country, which is not ap- preclably altered by the reductions in this vicinity, to take a last fing it profiteering before it is too late Whatever may be said therc is no auestion but that with wholesale prices going down, and retall prices going up, the retailer is at fault.

T Mesican Policy. ““The present situation, however, brings with it far-reaching questions of foreign policy to a degree never known in our previous history. At our own doors we have Mexico in a state of disorder and disintegration to which our government, has unhap- pily, most-liberally contributed. Here is a grave responsibility not to be evaded or escaped. We rightly in- sist upon the supremacy in the Am- erican hemisphere of the Monroe Doctrine, which was declared by us in order to guard tha safety of the United States d ave the New World so far as possible from the wars and misfortunes of the old. We justly demand the abstention of E rope from any imterference with Am- erican questions, but this doctrine of ours brings with it not only its ben- efits but its dutie The condition of Mexico, owing in large measure to the shortcomings of our govern- ment could not well be worse, and we must make up our minds that we not only owe it to ourselves to pro- tect there, as all over the world, Am- erican rights and interests so long neglected, but to reach out a help- ing hand to the Mexican people to the end that lgw and order may be established in that country which has been plunged into anarchy and cursed with continuous civil war. It is of the highest importance to the United s that Mexico should be both prosperous and peaceful and we must face the fact that without our aid the Mexican people cannot properly or speedily bring about the improved conditions and the re of law and | peace, which, we are convinced, they desire as much as we do.
