DEFENDS TARIFF Law
Senator Says it is Not Cause of High
Prices for Food.
ALL VALUES ARE ADVANCED
Greatest Rise IL In Items ON Free
List or on Articles on which
Duties Have Been re-
duced.

NEW YORK, Feb. u. Senate Reed
Smoot Of Utah, republican, has heard from
democratic sources thai possibly the Payne
tariff bill recently enacted might have
something to do with the advanced cost
Of living. He disputed It Indignantly last
night at the banquet Of the SILK associa-
ton with a defense OF protection in gem
eral.
1.-THE tariff bill passed at the last SESSION
Of congress-" said Senator Smoot, is the
best tariff measure ever enacted into law.
I'm America we live in better houses, we
sleep I'm better beds, we eat more and better
foods, we wear warmer and better clothing,
our children attend better schools, VIZ en-
Joy more Of the comforts Of life :han any
other people in any other country on the
globe.
1 AXE it we are all alike Interested In
the general prosperity Of the nation. We
are all alike DESTROYS of so safeguarding
our Industries as TO insure our prosperity.
We have such a safeguard and we call Il
protection.
II deny that the tariff act of 1900 is the
cause of the dvane in the cost OF living.
The greatest advances have been upon
articles on the free list, or upon which the
duties were decreased, or upon which no
advance was made over the Dingley rate.
1t is also noticeable that the extreme ad-
vances are upon the products OF the farms:
Net the advance received By the farmers
is Insignificant in comparison with the in
crease paid by the consumers"
Investigation, said Senate Smoot, has
shown that there is IN increase OF from
200 to 800 per cent in the price paid by the
ultimate consumer over the cost OF manu-
facture of many imported and domestic
articles. Something is wrong" he said.
in a system of distribution which will al
low such results. Ni
Prices are advancing all over the world,
in free trade countries as we'll as in pro-
lection countries. The supply has not kept
up to the demand.
Representative Phillip Pitt Campbell OF
Kansas supported Senator Smoot in his de-
Tense OF the tariff, and added:
1T Is said that prices of farm and food
products are high. They are high. That is
one Of two things that makes ours the best
market in the world. The other factor is q

AGAINST FATHER OF HUSBAND
Unique Alienation Suit Rouses In-
terest of Public ut Clear
Lake. 5, D..

MITCHELL, S. D., Feb. 2-(special.) y
An interesting case has been on trial at
Clear Lake in Duell county for the last
week, which had to do with the alienn-
ton of the affections Of Joseph williams
from his wife through the in~strumentality
of the fa~ther-in-law j. W. Williams. She
brought suit against her fAther-in-law
last fall at the same time that her nus
band started divorce proceedings against
her, which she alleges was done through
the instigation of the old gentleman. she
demanded 5000 damages for the aliena-
ton. Before her marriage to the son Mrs.
Williams was a professional nurse and
was called in a professional capacity to
nurse the mother of the man she later
married. After marriage the old people
gave up their home at Waterloo, Ia, ana
moved to Clear Lake, and the family of
four lived together, although not under
pleasant circumstances after the first few
years. The break in the family relations
occurred when a niece came up from
Sioux City to join the family and who was
in very poor health. Mrs. williams left
and returned to Waterloo, and In. the
meantime the niece and the mother-in-law
passed away On the return of the dauKh-
ter-in-law last August the difference was
patched up with the husband, and It was
then that the father-in-law commenced to
cause the disturbances between husband
and wife.
During the week that the trial was on
the court house was crowded 20 the limit
by the women of the town and surround
ing country, all of whom took a deep In
