But few Of the men who sell the hum

The Real Tariff Issue.

The consuming public can
care but little about President
Taft's Tariff Board and what it
discovers either abroad or here.
The members of the Board are,
no doubt, having the best time
in their lives and living in
luxury at the best hotels in the
capitals of foreign nations with
Uncle Sam as the liberal pay.
master. What the American
people would like to know is
whether or not there is any
prospect of d decrease in the
present high cost of living
Since the "best tariff bill" was
passed in August 1909. prices
have considerably advanced on
many articles which makes the
purchasing price of the dollar
less than it was under the
Dingley law.
What the voters have to de-
eide when they vote for candi-
dates for the National House OF
Representatives and for state
representatives who will elect
United States Senators is.
Which party candidate will vote
for real tariff revision : The
Republican politicians, even the
Insurgents, declare that they
are welded to the protective
policy; which artificially adds
to the price of nearly all we
buy because 1t prevents com
petition from abroad. The
boosted home competition be-
tween manufacturers has near
ly vanished in consequence Of
the tariff -fostered combines
and trusts, which, it is evident,
are banded together in restraint
of trade.
The Democrats are pledged
to reduce the tariff to the reve-
nue. producing point, which,
while it will not perhaps be
low enough to greatly increase
imports, will force the manu-
facturerers and the trusts and
the combines to reduce the
price of their products for fear
of losing part of their trade to
foreign competitors. These two
propositions are the whole tariff
issue as the American consum-

Women generally compromise be-

Signor Giuseppe Bartilotti, the Ital-

ord for himself, having appeared at
some of the foremost concerts in Eng
land and on the continent, in conjunc-
ton with famous artists, including
