A number of the insurgents have

what they hope to accomplish by real
persistence. Here is what Victor NUT

has been shifted from the membership

Gilbert y. Haugen. representative
from Iowa. says of the insurgeut move
ment:
Experience. careful observation and
thought convince me that the best In
terests of the people i'll general and
the country at large could be better
subserved by a modification of the
house rules. | am absolutely opposed
TO the concentration of legislative pow
er in one mau and the curtailment of
a members rights and personal indie
pendence. believe that a better OPP
portunity should be given the people
in general to express their wishes
through their representatives in con-
gress and to obtain their just rights.
The right and privilege under the
rules should be given 10 members to
record their judgment and convictions
as their consciences dictate This is
simply contending for that which our
forefatherS fought-freedom of thought
and action.
Here is what Miles Poindexter, rep
resentative from Washington. says of
the movement:
Progressive Republieanism especial i
ly stands for reorganization of the
house of representatives so that that
branch Of congress at least shall be as
il was intended 10 be-reSponSive TO
public opinion. As il is controlled to-
day by the patronage and power of
the speaker it is wholly unrepreSenta-
tive. 1t is not even conducted under
regular rules. but in all crises under
a system of special orders for partic-
ular occasions as the desires or the
nxigencies of the speaker and his lieu
tenants may demand.
Two changes alone will restore the
house TO its true character as popu-
ar legislative body-frSt. that the
house itself and nor the speaker by a
system of distribution
shall choose Its committees. and. sec
md. that the privileges Of the COM
nittee on rules be restricted and that
Is orders shall NOT be adopted bur by
two-thirtlS vote. as is already really
provided by the rules of the house, but

WHY PRICES HAVE
 INCREASED
PAYNE-ALORICH TARIFF BILL WAS THE ONE PARTlCU-
 LAR CAUSE.
Special Correspondence.)

WASHINGTON. Oct. ). -(Special) When the PayncAldrich bill was before the Senate. blind Senator Tom ?. Gore. of Oklahoma. staked his reputation that if the measure was passed extreme high prices would fol low.
 The prophecy was fulfilled, Aver age prices rose more than l7 per cent from June to December, 1909 The prices of steel trust common stock more than doubled in six months in 1909
 II is the history of all protection ist countries that tariff revision up ward means increased prices It is not generally realized how rapidly the price of tariff protected articles rose after the passage of the Ding ley law of 1897 From July 1. 1897 to January l, 1900, the first three years following the Dingley law. the cost of living advanced 31 per cent pr al the rate of 9 per cent a year More trusts were formed during this than during any other similar peri cd in our history.
 The price of wire nails rose from S1.36 keg. in August, 1898, to s3 B, in December. 1S99-16O per cent in 16 months
 The price of barb wire rose from Sl 63 per loo pounds, in August, 1897, to $4.13 in December lS99-150 per cent in ? years.
 The price of window glass rose from s175 a box, in April, 1897 to S4.S0 in April. l901-175 per cent in 4 ears.
 The Dingley tariff made the trusts, and the trusts put up the prices. But few, if any. trusts were formed dur ing the three years of the compara lively low duties of the Wilson bill
 When the German government introduced it's tariff law of 1902, it published an explanation which con- aimed the frank statement that in land prices are raised, so far as consideration of the circumstances of he last ten years will allow us to judge, in proportion to the duties"
 In France, Italy and some other European countries part of the municipal revenue Is raised by duties on goods entering the towns. At the gates of such towns there is an off "ial who collects this tax. and it is found that the difference in prices If articles purchased outside of the owns and within the towns is in nearly every case exactly the amount of the duty. The same happens in rade between nations.
 The reason the sugar trust. the steel trust the lumber trust and the harvester trust are willing to con- rr'bute large sums to the campaign funds of President Taft and Republi- can candidates for Congress and are unwilling to contribute to the funds of Democratic candidates, is that the Republican party is the party of eX- cessive protection. Tariff revision up ward means increased prices, and the tariff trusts know that they can col lect from the people in new profits whatever sums they may invest in he Republican campaign funds.
