OF the people, who through the reform

The old Quay gang, now headed 10y

On the other hand are the plain people
the reformers and the democrats,

COST or LIVING AND TARIFF.


Tho whole tariff issue turns on
whether the people OF the United States
will decide to continue paying high
prices for all they buy md continue to
add to the profits OF the pro-
tected trusiR. There can he no dispute
that the cost OF living has increased IS
per cent since the present tariff law was
enacted. Every ~housekeeper knows this
is true from personal experience, If does
not require DIn'e Index figures to verify
this large increase in prices. It is also
now acknowledged by the republican
leaders that the trusts sell their pro-
ducts cheaper abroad than to our own
people. 1t is also certain that wages
and incomes Of the workngmen small
tradeemen, clerks and wage careers
generally have not increased in like
proportion to the increased cost OF
living, for whereas it now takes sl.4S to
buy what cost 5 loo in 1897 incomes nave
only increased on the average "a per
cent, SO that il a wage Garner was get
ting in 1895 Sl5 a week, he now gets
Sl7.l0, IL he has received the average
increase. The increased cost Of what
he buys is nearly half us much again,
not including rent. How much rent
has increased can be settled by each
individual for himself. 10 most OF the
large cities rents have fully kept pace
with the increased cost OF living md the
cost OF building materials has followed
the general trend Of prices. In some
small cities and in villages rents have
not increased in the same proportion,
but wages there have also not increased
M much.
The voters OF the United States in
each congressional district will have to
party best represents their interests.
The republicans sinnd pat and will not
revise the tariff in any particular. They
point to trust high prices us an evidence
OF the prosperity the tariff has produced
md they keep ~discreeily Silent about
the much less increase OF salaries and
wages. Tho democrats are pledged to
reviee the tariff by greatly reducing the
excessive rates that now shelter the
trusts. That would result in a reduc.
ton OF high trust prices, because il the
trusts did not reduce prices, Imports.
tons Of foreign goods would come in
md compete with tho products OF the
trusts. The reduction in the cost OF
living would virtually be an increase OF
salaries and wages, because tho money
earned would buy more, OF. it would
tako less money to provide for the
necessities OF Il family or person.
The wise voter, who investigates the
tariff issue, unless he is one OF the pro
tected class, il certain to decide TINT the
democratic policy is best for his pocket.
