If the Payne tariff act is responsible
for the advance in cost of living which
has taken place in England, Germany,
Belgium, France and the other indus
trial countries of Europe, then the Unit
ed States must be larger factor in the
worlds economy than any of our spread
eagle orators imagine. Except as it has
given more employment and better wages
to workers, the tariff has not advanced
the cost of living in the United States.
As the tariff furnishes more money to
the worker than he would otherwise have,
it enables him to eat better things, to
wear better clothes, and to have more
conveniences and comforts for himself
and his family. To the extent that the
worker is enabled to make more pur-
chases ard enjoy more of the desirable
things of life, the tariff has advanced
the cost of living. The American work.
err who is willing to live in the same
style and to suffer the same discomforts
as his European counterpart will find the
cost very little greater here than he does
there. But what American, native,
naturalized or alien, is willing to live in
the squalid fashion of men in his craft in
Europe? Let Democrats turn to this
aspect of the question and tell us what
they think of it. In attributing the in
creased cost of living to the tariff the
Democrats are likely to fall into trap.
They may goad the Republicans or the
non-partisan and honest Democrats to
present the facts as to prices. Let Rep
resentative Lloyd, chairman of the Dem
ocratic Congressional committee, ask Mr..
Gompers, in some of his Democratic
talks, to tell something about the rela-
tive cost of living among American and
European wage-workers, and then in
form the country what Mr.. Gompers
says. This particular piece of deception
stands an excellent chance to react on
the Democrats. 1t may bring out the
truth, and the truth is the very thing
that the Democratic campaign managers
want to keep far in the background.
