peonIe,s Eyes Are Opened.

White the principal product % the
tariff revision experiment is a failure.
some of the hy-products are valuable
one of these is the demonstration Of
the worthlcssncss Of platform pledges
and party slogans. and this demon
stration hits Republicans and Demo
Gratis alike. on this head there Is lit
tie to choose between the shameless
ness with which certain Republican
senators have repudiated the cam
paign promises Of revision downward.
and the audacity with which certain
Democratic senators have ignored the
oft-repeated declarations OF their
party against class legislation and in
favor of tariff for revenue only. These
two factions. each misrepresenting
the party to which 1t professedly be
longs, have stood shoulder TO shoulder
in the disreputable work of sacriho-
ing the interests of the consumer %
those of the privileged classes. \ dis
cussion that has uncovered these co
conspirators against the interests Of
their respective parties cannot be said
to have been entirely Improbable

Every housewife knows that in the

Fcw women. however. even the

account Of the rate OF increase in
prices beyond noting steady ad
vance IN domestic expenses They
have kept no figures for proofs But
5radstreet's figures. which no sensl-
bic person will deny. furnish the
proofs
According TO Bradstroct's. between
July /. 1896. and July /, 1909. bread
stufs and live stock have more than
doubled In price. provisions. fruits,
hides and leather have increased over
50 per cent and textiles 50 per cent.

per cent. mutton l25 per cent. hams
80 i-3 per cent. bacon over 100 per

Even within the last year the in
crease in prices has gone on almost

and coffee over 25 per cent. Reef Is
one OF the few articles which did not
materially Increase in price.
These are hard facts which there
is no getting around. Retail prices
vary more or less from month To
month according TO locality and the
character OF dealers establishments,
but Bradstreets figures are based on
market reports which are beyond con
troversy. They may not appeal TO
stand pat prutectionists like Senator
Aldrich and Senator Lodge. who, oc
cupied with serving powerful inter.
cts. eontemptuously remark that there
exists no such person as the consum-
er. but they justify the popular out
cry against excessive prices. which
can be only partially met by an hon
est downward revision Of the tariff
designed TO reduce the cost OF living
to those whose earnings barely suffice
for their families support.

tion and pledge for a pool for the hurley
tobacco crop in 1909. it Is currently re-
ported here that the tobacco warehouse
men Of this city are quietly but actively
at work among the growers in an effort
TO induce them to stay out Of both pro-
posed pools, and send their tobacco to the
sales warehouses to be placed in the
open market.
II is said that these warehouses have
numerous agents in the field, and that
they have already secured promises from
. large number of the growers to disrc-
gard the proposed pools and send their
tobacco here for sale
These agents, it is reported, point to
the high prices which tobacco now COM

new crop can probably be sold next win
