HIGH Prices and Deterioration.

1t has been pointed out in these
columns many times that the tariff is
not the only cause of high prices.
There are many other causes, and
these have all been enumerated here,
in spirit of common fairness. The
tariff is certainly one of the causes,
whatever else the United States SEN
ate's investigating committee may
scare up for election purposes.
What the tariffs defenders do not
see is that it is the cause of some.
thing else which the looted consumer
is beginning to realize. This is the
terrible deterioration in the quality of
our products. The workman who is
compelled to wear shoddy paid for at
the price of woolen cloth, to buy at
the same price three times where ten
years ago he bought once, is begin.

This is Democracy's year for fresh
baptism of ideals and purpose.
Elimination.

In his Pittsburg speech Mr.. Taft
dwelt complacently on the "elimina-
tion of Zelaya and Zelayaism" and
"the elimination of Castro, who was
of the class of Zelaya."
Fortunately the Latin-American re-
publics of Nicaragua and Venezuela
are small and feeble states and have
no rights that powerful nation is
bound to respect. Their ministers
can be dismissed from Washington
whenever the secretary of state loses
his temper.
In the presidents own state of Ohio
or even in Oklahoma, the administra-
ton would be more prudent. 1t has
not yet found way to eliminate a
few troublesome Iowa and Wisconsin
insurgents now in Washington. The
insurgents have the Republican voters
back of them out there, and United
States gunbocts and marines cannot
be used against them.
