This is queer world, especially
that part of it comprising the United
States. In 1896 the people were told
that If only gold could be made the
money standard all would be well
and the value of money would never
fluctuate, the basis (gold) having an
intrinsic" value of $40 an ounce.
Comes now Prof. Joseph French
Johnson, of the University of New
York, (and President Taft has ar
gued SIMILARLY and asserts solemnly:
"A pound of porterhouse steak
cost twenty cents in 1900. Today it
costs twenty-five cents. The increase
in the cost of meat is only twenty
i've per cent, whereas if it kept up
pro ratio to the value of a dollar,
which is forty cents cheaper than ten
years ago, that increase would also
be forty per cent"
Wherein does this differ from the
democratic statement of 30 that the
value of a dollar is measured by its
purchasing power?

THE DEMOCRATIC SUNNI,

The oldest existing party in Amer
lea is old because it's history is one
long record of struggles against the
enforcement of special privilege in
this republic.
Democracy has made as many mis-
takes as the average political party.
But it has survived them all, as a
fighting force, because, while lead
ers come and go, principles remain
The simple moral force of the demo-
cratic principles upon which the re-
public was founded and preserved is
prominent in everyone of democ-
racy's campaigns.
Real issues come to democracy in
spite of leaders who wage losing bat
ties on false issues. The tariff is
an instance. Republicans have re-
pudiated their pledges to lift unnec-
essary tariff burdens from the peo-
pie.
Democracy must fulfill those
pledges.
The election of democratic house
of representatives this fall is clear
ly foreshadowed in an overwhelm-
ing drift of expressed public opinion.
The doubtful states are preparing to
retire, by wholesale, republican con-
gressmen who voted for the Aldrich-
Taft tariff law.
The battle will not be confined to
the so-called doubtful" states.
Normal party lines are fast disap-
pearing in all states because the Aid
rich-Taft law has proved it's own
treachery to the consumers

James ]. Hill, the railroad high
muck-a-muck, says anent the diff
Guilty of ordinary people making both
ends meet in these days of high
prices:

to former modes of living and not
be SO luxurious in their tastes there
would be no trouble. Everyone now
wants only the best A man can to-
day buy for forty cents enough sub
stantial food to nourish his body
twenty-four hours. There have been
no material advances in the cost of

Mr.. Hill means a return to the modes

and there may be some virtue in his
suggestion, though such a return on
the peoples part would not do away

have come into existence to the op-

and let them eat nuts and fruits and
wear fig leaves? Starting them back,
why not let 'em go some?
