Prices and Prosperity Breeding Public Poverty Warns of Wealth Divide
The piece argues private fortunes come from public wealth and growth in living costs outpace wages. It cites Representative Granger on Dun and Bradstreet data, noting 6 percent living-cost rise from 1903 to 1904, much in January, with wages failing to keep pace. It condemns industrial monopolies for shaping prices and labor costs, and urges more equal distribution of wealth. It also presents a fishing vignette and a note of The Sun praising East Michigan Street streetcar reforms in Indianapolis, praising local reformers and asking about Sid Conger.
