WHY We HAVE
HIGH PRICES
Senator Tom Cores Proph-
ecv Regarding Pavne-
Aldrich Bill is a
Fulfilled
(1y Clyde n. Tavenner)

Washington, Sept. 30.-(Special.) 49,
When the Payne-Aldrich bill was be.
fore the Senate. blind Senator Tom
Il. Gore of Oklahoma staked his repu.
tation that IL the measure was passed
extreme high prices would follow.
The prophecy was fulfilled. Average
prices rose more than II per cent
from June TO December, 1909. The
prices OF steel trust common stock
more than doubled In six months In
1903.
1t is the history of all protectionist
countries that tariff revision upward
means increased prices. 1t is not
generally realized how rapidly the
price of tariff-protected articles rose
after the passage OF the Dngley law
In 1897. From July /. 1897, to Janu-
ary l. 1900. the first three years fol.
lowing the Dingley law. the cost OF
living advanced 81 per cent or at the
rate of per cent year. More trusts
were formed during this than during
any other similar period in our his
tory.
The price OF wire nails rose from
$l.36 keg, in August. 1898, to $3.50,
in December, 1S99-160 per cent. in
1G months.
The price OF barb wire rose from
$1.65 per 100 pounds, in August. 1897
to Sab. in December, 1s99--15O per
cent In tyo years L4sa
The price OF window glass rose
from $1.75 a box, I'm April, 1897, TO
$3.50, in April, 19O1-175 per cent in
4 years.
The Dingley tariff made the trusts.
and the trusts put up the prices. But
few. IL any. trusts were formed during
the three years OF the comparatively
low duties Of the Wilson bill.
When the German government in.
troduced it's tariff law OF 1902, It pub
lished an, explanation which contained
the frank statement that INLAND pri-
ces are raised. so far as consider
alton OF the circumstances OF the
last ten years will lallow us to Judge,
in proportion to the duties"
In France, italy, and some other
European countries a part OF the mu-
niciDal revenue is raised by duties on
goods entering the towns. At the
gates OF such towns there is an Of
fetal who collects this tax, and II
is found that the difference In prices
Of articles purchased outside OF the
towns and within the towns is in
nearly every instance exactly the
amount OF the duty. The same hap
pens In trade between nations.
The reason the sugar trust, the
steel, the lumber trust and the har-
vester trust are willing to contribute
large sums to the campaign funds of
President Taft and Republican can
didates for congress and are unwill.
ing to contribute TO the funds OF Dem.
ocratic candidates, is that the Repub
lican party is the party OF excessive
protection. Tariff revision upward
means increased prices, and the tariff
trusts know that they can collect
from the people I'm new profits what.
ever sums they may invest in the Re-
publican camjaign funds.
