Candidate Talks About High
Cost of Living and Farm
Schools With Expert
in Congress

SEA GIRT, N. J., July 3I.--Gov-
ernor Wilson placed himself on rec
ord tonight as fayoring a gradual
downward revision of the tariff as d
means of reducing the cost OF living
1t was after he had a long confer
ence with Representative William e..
Redfield, of Brooklyn, who is know Il
as great authority on the tariff
and an advocate Of a gradual reduc-
ton, that the governor made his
statement entirely agreeing with Mr..
Redfield's views on this point. When
Mr.. Redtield left, the governor was
asked. DO you agree with Repre-
sentative Redtield's plan of reducing
the tariff by a gradual process"
Il think We all agree on that
point" said the governor. My
speeches will show that / have enter
tained this view right along
The tariff will occupy the better
part OF Governor Wilson speech Of
acceptance. The speech has been die
lated to stenographers and will be
In the hands OF the printers In a
short time and ready for distribu-
ton Immediately thereafter.
Representative Redfeld spent
about two hours with the candidate.
When he came out of the Little
White House he was asked what
subjects had been discussed:
What They Talked About
Il talked to the governor about
the tariff. the trusts. and schools for
agriculture and mechanics. ! think
the governor endorsed my views as
presented them. My view Ia that
there should be a gradual DOWN
ward revision. Nearly every such
bill needs modification. The revision
should be thorough. but moderate.
Progress should be made by degrees
SO as not to upset business condi-
tions. For instance. where there Is
a thirty point reduction ii should be
made ten points at time. We want
tariff reform. but We do not want to
do more harm than good in the pro-
cess. Business men have their money

who felt nettled when Belasco re-
marked: ~ am always being sued by
BARRIERS and servant girls for plagiariz-
ing their plays"
The playwright, after describing the
occupations he had followed in his

FORE ATTAINED SINCE NOAH'S

NEW YORK. July 3i.~-Meat went
up another cent pound today, and
there is every prospect of its staying
at it's present inflated price for some
time The present prices are the
highest ever reached in this country
and are higher than war or famine
prices.
According to a well known dealer
steers were sold in Jersey City to-
day for $ cents a pound on the hoof.
Fifteen years ago much better cattle
could be bought for IL cents a
pound on hoof. Prime ribs were
quoted at 70 cents pound. as COM
pared To six cents a pound fifteen
years ago, or an increase of more than
500 per cent In that short time.
The same dealer. when asked whe-
Their the prices would hold. said they
would not only stay up, but would
in all probability increase still fur
Their,
There will be no relief in sight
until the problem Is taken up on a
scientific basis" he said. The waste
land throughout the country has a
great deal to do with the high cost
OF food.
In the event of the railroads re-
fusing to develop waste land along
their tracks. the State should step in
and put such land into a cultivated
state. Once this WIS accomplished,
there would be no lack of investors.
The men with four or five thousand
dollars to invest and a Willingness to
work cannot under the present cir
cumstances afford to go into farm
ing, and the rearing of cattle owing
to the difficulty of getting land that
is in a state OF cultivation.
