This real trouble is not with business at all it lief in the minds of t(he people. For no apparent reason at all, we seem to ' hsve changed suddenly from optimists to pessimists. And the queer thing about it Is that we do not know why we changed "firices have broken," you say. Well did you not long and pray for lower prices? Yen knew they could rot remain up where the war forced them. So just what you. wanted to happen has happened that's all. "But wages are being reduced, too," someone chimes in. ' ' s Isn't that perfectly natural, too? When prices went up, wages followed Wages must follow prices, now as always. If one-half the cost of producing an article is paid for labor, then isn't it clear that whftp the price of that article Is cnt from $2 to $1, that the labor cost can be only 50c, instead of $1. And don't for-, get that when prices' come down one-half, a dollar buys twice as much. We are are merely returning to old time price levels in all lines, from wages to limousines. Our dollars are growing in value every day. We are not hurt a bit, if we only stop to think. - When we recognize the truth, the ques tion of the day will change from "What's the mattter with tiness" to "Did you ever see business so good? Let's wake up out of our nightmare and ' 10 forging ahead again.
