We put increased duties on wines,

are the articles on which the reve-

"It is an easy thing to say that
the present tariff law has increased
the cost of living, but it is impos-
sible to prove it. It is almost i'm
possible to find a single item on
which the tariff was increased on
which the price has shown a SINH
lar increase. On the other hand on
nearly every item where we reduced
the tariff, or where we left it the
same, as under the old law, they
have maintained the old price and
sometimes increased it. We reduced
the tariff on lumber from 81 to $1.25
and lumber brings the same old
price. We increased the duty on
shingles from 80 to so cents, and
the price of shingles has been lower
ever since the act became a law

BIxby Drew Report.
General Bixby, now chief Of engin-
eers, was president of the commission
which reports favorably on the nine
| foot channel and is the chairman OF
the new commission which is embark
| ing upon its investigation of the IL
foot project.
The general expectation is that the
newly created commission will adopt
the views of the preceding body and
condemn the Lorimer scheme, for
which the senate succeeded in having
a preliminary appropriation of $1,000
900 and 100000 for investigation ex-
penses included in the pork barrel
river and harbor bill last spring.
For this reason the findings of the
previous commission upholding the
Deneen and condemning the Lorimer
plan are Of special interest.
In Progress for n Year.
The investigation of the cost of the
nine-foot channel from Chicago to St
Louis has been In progress for more
than a year. The work has been car
ried on by the same body of engin-
eers which reported adversely to the
construction of 14-foot channel from
the lakes to the gulf. the cost of which
from St Louis to New Orleans they
placed at $12S, 500, 900, with an annual
up-keep cost of $6,50O,O0O A rough es-
innate at that time placed the cost of
construction of a 14-foOt channel from
Chicago to st. Louis at $30,097 1862,
with an annual maintenance cost of
$4,000.
Report SimpIiRes Task.
At the same time it was announced
that a detailed study of the cost of
constructing a nine-foot waterway
through Illinois would be undertaken
and it is this examination which has
been completed within the last few
weeks Inasmuch as the last session
of congress directed an investigation of
the Lorimer 14-foot plan the report on
the nine-foot channel instead of being
made public was referred TO the new
commission as basis for its work.
