ALL KINDS OF ANSWERS RETURNED BY THE
PRoTEcT1oN1sTs SAVE THAT OF THE
HIGH TARIFF RATES
Only Place in the World Where There Is Anv Doubt as
TO the Answer of This Popular Question
Is in the United States

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7-(Special to
the Statesman)-Why is the cost Of
living increasing so fast in the Unit
ed States?
In answer to this most popular ques-
tion of the day, protectionists and pro-
tcetionist newspapers are citing every
possible explanation save high tariff
rates. President Taft declares the in
crease in the cost of living is due to
the "proportionate increase in the out
put of gold" and Secretary of Agri-
culture Wilson, at the command of
Senator Aldrich, Smoot and other of
the high priests of protection, is now
making an investigation for the pur-
pose of whitewash:ng protection and
fastening the blame on the corner gro
Ger.
The only place where there is any
doubt as to what is the principal cause
of the increase in the cost of living iu
the United States is in this country.
The leading economists of the world
are united on the subject. Almost
without a dissenting voice, the great
thinkers of the day attribute the fact
that the cost of living is increasing
twice as fast in the United States as
in other countries, to our protective
system.
The protectionists of the United
States are the only protectionists who
refuse to concede that the import duty
is paid by the consumer. The leading
protectionists of Europe, including Jo-
seph Chamberlain of England, admit
that as general rule the price OF an

1t has been announced on reliable
authority from Fort Walla Walla that
the First Cavalry, which has been sta

the past three years, will not be sta
toned at the post here because of the
probability of the passage of the bill
giving the fort grounds to Whitman

ment has issued orders directing the
First Cavalry to proceed to one of the
other western posts. The orders, so
far as can be learned today, have not
vet been received at the fort, but
those stationed there are authority for
the statement that the First Cavalry
will not come to this station, unless
he Whitman college bill fails to pass.
