be steadily increasing. A state
meat -recently issued by the
bureau of commerce and labor
says that for the year 1(J04 the
co^t of living was in excess of
any previous year in the history
of the country.
The year 1800 was the only
year for a number of years, ac
cording to the statement of
the department's statisticians,
which the cost of living did not
show an increase. In 1800 the
average co?t per family was
$318.20. In 1896 it was $296.70.
