THE RESULT OF HIcH PRICES

the increased cost of living is
bringing about its necessary results
and strikes all over the country bear
active testimony to the need of lower
prices. There is hardly railroad
company from the Atlantic to the
Pacific that has not been called upon
this spring to solve the problem of
meeting demands for higher wages.
some reasonable and some unreason-
able. and the demand made not be
cause the employers are not receiv-
ing fair wages for their work, but
simply because living conditions are
such as to make it almost impossible
for them to live on fair wages. ="
thereby forcing them 20 ask from
the railroads wages which. under
ordinary conditions. would appear to
be excessive. How long these extraor-
binary conditions are to exist dc
ponds to some extent on the people
themselves and to a greater extent
on the dominant political party in
this country. whether il be the Re
publican or the Democratic party.
That we in this country have been
going for the past ten years under
high pressure and at killing pace no
one can doubt and the time has come
for Americans to live more within
their means, but the high cost of liv-
ing is not altogether due to the fact
that the consumers have walked up
and paid the price demanded. For
Injuries we must pay and if we
choose to indulge in luxuries then
the fault is ours, but in late Years
the bare necessities of life have be-
come luXuries to the poor man and
yet he and his family must live. For
this condition the most apparent
cause is the tariff system, which. I'M
der the gnise of protecting hdme
manufacturers, has been perverted
from its original object into a system
which not only protects these manu-
facturers. but enriches them lat the
expense of the masses of the PEOPLE
Revolt against this system is active
all over the-land and the people. la

prices. can be trified with no longer.

power to think. but don't use il. "

mitted that he did not know whether
or not congress will enact his anti
injunction bill But. he added. there
are two good reasons why Il should
be passed. One was that il was prou-
ised by the Republican party in its
last national platform. and the other
was that the measure was a step in
the right direction

What the bill proposes to do is to
say that when a man applies 10 n

out In the minutes OF the court why
the injury threatened Is irreparabls:
that ne finds IL TO be sustained By evil

Mr. Taft took a shot at insurgents In
congress who are opposing his pro
gram OF legislation because OF the fact
that he conferred with railway presi-
dents before framing the measure.
