ONLY HOPE IS IN WILSON
To Him Alone Can People Look for
Serious Effort TO Reduce Cost
Of Living

AS the campaign progresses, It be.
comes plain that Gov. Wilson is the
only presidential candidate to whom
the country can look for a serious ef.
Tort to reduce the high cost Of liv-
! ing
President Taft, who was born rich,
approaches this question only to ex.
plain why the high cost OF living must
/ remain high He does not understand
wat high prices mean to poor peo-
pie. and It is hopeless to try to teach
him.
Mr., Roosevelt, who also was born
rich. Is interested in wars and rumors
Of wars. in grand stand plays, In spec
taculur denunciations, and most OF all,
In himself. II clected-which he will
not bc-he would probably raise the
cost CT living by his wide extrava-
Gance.
Governor Wilson alone has given
careful thought to this most press.
ing problem OF the day.
Governor Wilson sees that needless.
~ high tariff duties raise the price Of
tie articles on which they are levied
By approximately the amount Of the
duty. He calls for n revision Of the
tariff downward, steadily and unhes-
itatingly downward"
Governor Wilson sees that In the
shade OF tho tarif the trusts gather
81 to exploit the people He would
not only cut down the trust protecting
shade; but he would invoke the law,
learlcssly and without favor, TO break
up the vast combinations which have
assumed the right to fix the high cost
Of living by private agreement"
Only by the election Of Governor Will
son and the triumph Of the principles
OF which he is the exponent. can the
burden OF high prices be lifted from
the shoulders OF the American people.

Bryan as a Defender of the
Christian Faith.

1t was as a defender of the
old faith" of the Christian relig-
ion that William Jennings Bryan,
thrice defeated candidate for
the presidency" swept Pittsburg
and western Pennsylvania with
peerless oratory," speaking in
several churches. And yet it
was in language so plain that
child could understand practical
ly every word of it and in a style
of oratory that appealed with
earnestness; not once did he en-
ploy the art of oratory for the
mere effect of it. He simply
pointed out that for more than
100 years the Christian religion
has been living force in the up
lift of humanity, and that faith
in tits higher today than it ever
was. This offered as the con-
clusion drawn from his own
study and observation; he will
forsake it only when a better re-
ligion and a better Bible than
that of which it is founded are
produced.
He invited comparison of the
teaching of Christ with that of
Confucius, of Buddha, of any
other great religious teacher
which has done the most good?
That was the test, he said.
He invited the same compari-
son of the Bible with the other
sacred books. Which is the best
as judged by the effect oft?
In these comparisons he saw
Christ and the Bible superior tc
them all, and he challenged the
world to show influence better
than theirs.

The Tariff.

/
This question can be answered
with one word Tariff.
The tariff was originally en-
ployed to meet the demands of
the Civil war. To raise war ex-
| penses the government found it
necessary to tax every article
manufactured in this country.
The manufacturers justly COM
planned at this. They said these
taxes were so heavy it would
ruin them, because they could
not pay the heavy internal taxes
on their products and meet for
eign competition. Foreign man.
ufacturers were driving Amer
leans out of their own markets
by underselling them.
So a plan was devised to pro-
tect the American manufact-
urers.
1--WE will place a tariff on al
imported articles" said the gov.
eminent, which will put you or
an even or better footing with
your foreign competitors. -
Every one understood this pro
tective system was to be bur
temporary, to meet an unusua
condition. When the war wa
over, the taxes on the products
of the American manufacturer.
were dispensed with, and, obvi
ously, the protection to the
American manufacturers shoult
also have been removed, as tn,
special reason for protection haC
caused.
But in the meantime the priv
LEGGED few had discovered that i
the tariff lay a means by whicl
they could build up enormou
fortunes. Those fortunes wer
pointed as an evidence that tn
tariff was a good thing. Tn
rich protectionists fooled the pee
pie by making them believ
these fortunes had come fror
''the Foreigners" when the fac
was the fortunes had bee
lwrung from the common pee
pie who had been forced to pa
artificially high prices for tn
things they had to have in orde
to live,
The leaders of the party of Pre-
lection must have known in thei
hearts ofthis deception, and the
and there did humbug and frau
become part and parcel Of polite:
But the people have learned a
last that a tariff FOR protection
that a tariff for any other pul
pose than to raise sufficient rev
enue to meet the expenses Of tn
government, has no excuse
logic or economics. The part
5 will admit its errors. Republ
!. can leaders insist that the tart
r trusts are still in the infant class
: and that tariff is a good thin
for the people.
In the meantime America
consumers are today paying div
idends on a trust capitalizatio
of thirty-three billion dollars
seventy percent of which is wa
, ter, and American workmen-
those who work for the mos
, highly protected trusts-receiv,
