TARIFF IS BLAMED
 FOR COST OF LIVING


 New York. April 2.-(Special.) )-"The Payne-Aldrch tariff and not the over production of gold or any other reason, is directly responsible for the high cost of living,' declared Senator Gore of Ok lahoma in a lecture this morning in the Hudson theatre under the auspices of the League of Polticala education.- 4
 The blind seantor declared that during the last IS years prices have increased 61 per cent, and in the last seven months alone more than per cent. He argued that the fact that the price of American food products had not advanced in other countries was a good enough proof that the increased cost of living in America Is owing to the tariff. He quoted statis- tics showing that four sold in Montreal at s5.75 a barrel, while In Boston the price is $7.50.
 All the tariff accompishes today, said Senator Gore, "is to enable the trust to get, without earning, what the work ing class earns without getting.
 He said the increased cost of living was easily proved only requiring that working man should buy some commodity, which would invariably be higher in price than 1t was year ago.
