Cost of living debated by big men and farmers
The piece argues prices rise not from scarcity alone but from factors linked to big business, farmers and legislation. It highlights James J. Hill and Ogden Armour as voices blaming law of nature, gold production, and farming trends, while urging transparent facts on producer vs consumer prices. It traces Hill’s evolving theory from 1906 to 1909.
