This country owes its great industrial
development TO the policy of protection.
Were il not for the tariff there would
be but few smokestacks, mills or fac
tories in the United States. Those
countries that had their manufacturing
interests highly developed and that
were paying labor wretched wages,
could hold the American market in

competition would make ii Improbable

Under the stimulating Influence of
the tariff this country has become the
leading industrial center of the world.
The high degree of development ii has
attained in this respect, suggests the adj
visibility of certain notifications i'm

decided upon, but this will be carried
out by the friends of protection-not

The two policies are Numerically OPP
posed TO each other. 1t is not so long
ago that this country tried this policy
as embodied in the Wilson tariff bill,
that its disastrous consequences to the

was a severe lesson. and the intelligent
workingman has since voted against a
policy which produced SO much want
and misery. The tariff revision that
Republicans are demanding is not the
kind the Democrats would give us il
they got a chance. The country has
had all of that sort that il wants. and
will assuredly vote for no more. The

HOW THE COST OF LIVING HAS INCREASED
F0RTY-FOUR PER CENT IN TEN YEARS.

been dropping until they are about as
low as they were IN 1896.
The cost of preparing food products
is much higher now on account of the
increased cost Of labor, also the in
crease in the farm products that go into
them. Sugar is higher this year than
in 1907, while coffee is cheaper. Tea is
as cheap as 1t has been in several years.
Staple commodities are not high this
year In the grocery line. In many com
modities the prices are 10 per cent low
er than they were i'm 1907.
A leading clothler says that clothes
are higher than in the last two years
and that this should not be. This is
partly due TO the scarcity OF wool, but
is in part due TO existence OF clothing
combinations to keep prices up.
Cotton is no higher, yet the manu-
facturers are in combination to main.
tain high prices. Ten years ago good
wool suits were 100 per cent lower than
they are now. and were made of as
good material and as well made. but
without the same degree of care as to
style. Higher labor cost, higher wool.
prosperity and combinations among
manufacturers are the reasons he gives
for the higher prices of clothing.
Shoes are higher on the average than
ever they have been. but are only ) per
cent cheaper than at their highest
point, in 1907. They have, however.
gone UP in price IL per cent in the
last eighteen years, but to compensate
for that they are better made. The in
crease in cost OF shoes is due to the
high price OF hides, which have In.
creased In eighteen years $50 per cent.
Shoes are relatively cheaper than the
hides from which they are made, this
seeming paradox being due to improved
methods Of manufacture.
The price OF meat has been soaring
for the last eighteen years, and 1t is
generally conceded that this has been due
to the going out of the range cattle and
the consequent scarcity Of beef cattle,
and the combinations among the pack
ers, who have virtually a monopoly of
the business, having driven the small
country and town butchers out of bust
ness Prosperity and high wages. as
well as the scarcity of cattle, are given
by the packers as being responsible for
the rise In prices in the last ten years

With the raising of the standard Of
living during the eleven years of the
Dingley tariff act, there has been de-
crease in crime Ia comparison with that
of the period of the Wilson tariff act,
d conspicuous feature Of which was the
long lines Of gaunt men and women
waiting at the soup houses. Men who
were out Of employment then huddled
their families into single rooms, where
as. under the prosperous period OF the
Dingley tariff act, many Of these fami-
lies have been able to occupy homes for
their own families exclusively. The
growth OF crime, or its disappearance,
Is largely Influenced by modes Of living.
1t is one of the chief g'Ories of protec-
ton that it has steadily raised the
standard of living of American wage
