NOTHING BUT CAMPAIGN CRY
Efforts of Democratic Leaders to
Blame Tariff for High Cost OF
Living VIII Be Futile.

Recently Senator Gore OF Oklahoma
made the rash statement that the tar
III was the cause of high cost of liv'
ing, and that in order to meet the
added increase he is compelled to go
on the lecture platform. This state-
ment is taken up by his party follow
ers and they reassert the statement
and the howl of the discontented re-
verberates across the country like the
howl Of the coyote on the plains This
fellow Gore did not point out one
single item that is making living high
er through the tariff, but, like the
others of his party. makes the state
ment and let's 1t go at that
We challenge any one to show
wherein the tariff has increased the
prices on the things that so into the
ordinary living expenses of family.
Living high is quite another thing,
and here Is where all the complaints
against the tariff should be switched.
and not make the tariff Issue the goat
for all the Increases that have been
put on by the labor unions. the jobbers
and the retail dealers. At no time
have wages been so high in this coun-
try as now, and union labor must be
given the credit for not only getting
tremendous Increases in wages, but at
the same time in securing shorter
hours of labor, all of which counts
nightly in the production of the
things We consume. And the wage
earners have less cause for kicking
against the tariff than any other class.
