MAKE ISSUE OF

Progressive Party Is Protest
Against Modern Slavery.
BURDEN FELT IN EVERY HOME

New Political Organization Demands
Full Inquiry Into High Cost of Liv-
ing and Immediate Action to Re-
lieve lntolerable Conditions-Ftye
Thousand New York Families
Evicted In One Month For Inability
to Pay Rent.
There is no issue in this campaign
which affects so large a number of
people in so conspicuous degree as
the tyranny of prices and the grow
ing oppression of the markets. The
year 1912 was ushered into history
with a climax of popular agitat on
regarding cost of living" unparallel-
ed in the annals of American indus
try. So startling has been the rise
in price levels during the past two
years that the burden has been felt in
every household in the land and in
the homes of the poor many so-called
''necessaries" of life have become i'm
possible luxuries.
The Progressive Party has made
the high cost of living" an issue in
this campaign. 1t believes that the
public has grown impatient of perpet-
ual exposition of ron-bound eco
nomic laws. 1t demands that the peo-
pie shall have an answer more SUBJ
stantial than that to be found in
broken promises and pledges unful-
filled. Its ultimatum is clear en-
phatic, undeniable: Full inquiry in
to the causes of the high cost of liv-
ing and immediate action to deal with
every need such inquiry discloses."

made study of the cost of living in
New York City, with special refer.
ence to the prices of those commodi-
ties which are commonly regarded as
household indispensables even among
the poor. After careful investiga-
tion of prices the association has pub
lished the statement that the cost of
necessities of life" had advanced al
most 25 per cent within the course of
a single year. Wholesale costs of
many commodities increased more
than hundred per cent between the
Christmas of 1109 and New Years
day of 1912.
In the past winter produce mer-
chants were paying twice as much for
potatoes, cabbage and carrots as was
asked in the market a year before.
Retail grocers were paying 20 per cent
more for butter and SO per cent more
for eggs. Canned goods had gone up
at bound, while coffee and sugar and
milk had experienced a material in
crease. AS direct consequence of
this startling advance in prices the
records of the Association for I'M
proving the Condition of, the Poor
showed a larger number of applica-
tons for relief than had ever been
known In the history of the organiza-
ton.
The phenomenal increase in price
OF food-stuffs was accompanied by a
similar increase in rate of rents. In
the single month of January, 1912,
more than five thousand families
were evicted from their homes in the
Borough of Manhattan, 80 per cent OF
them for no other offense against so.

Third Of Farms MOrtqdged

One-third of the farms of the United
States are mortgaged, according TO
bulletin issued by the Census Bureau.
This bulletin shows that in 1910 the total
number of farms operated by owners
and mortgaged was 1927, 439. while p
62l. 2s3 were reported from mortgage.
The average amount of mortgage indebt-
edness per farm increased from sl.2A
in 1890 to sl,7l5 in 1910. but the aver
age value per farm increased from So
444 to So. 2s9, which shows that the
owners equity doubled.
The value Of the farms and buildings
which were mortgaged was placed at
So, 800, $50. 600, while the amount Of
mortgages was 81, 726. 600, 600 or q per
cent. of the value.
The proportion Of mortgaged indebt-
edness is higher in Iowa and Wisconsin
than in any of the other States. and yet
these States are among the most pros
porous in agriculture.

On Trial.

The party and the President
which assume the reins of gov
eminent in March must rise or
fall by their practical perform
ance or their failure to perform.
William Howard Taft four
years ago went into power on a
tidal wave of popular approval.
No new President ever carried
into office a more universal con
fidence and affection. He had
nearly a million and "A half
majority of popular votes be-
hind him. He had 32l votes in
the Electoral College TO Bryan's
1872 He was propped and sus-
tanned by the positive good will
of the country.
And yet today William II.
Taft IAN honest man and a lover
of his country, by the simple
failure of himself and his party
to fulfill his own and his party
pledges, goes out of office dis
credited and condemned with
his majority, popular and cleo
toral, shrunken to a minority
so pitiful that it is in itself a
rebuke great enough to break
his heart.
As for the Progressive party
its future will depend as much
upon Woodrow Wilson as upon
Theodore Roosevelt. ~ New
York American.

Wilson Wins.

1t is a great pleasure for The
Messenger to announce the
election of a Democratic Presi-
dent, and it is equally a pleas
ure to know that he will have
both branches of Congress in
sympathy so that laws beneh-
cial to the nation can be passed.
The victory is a complete one
and there should be no excuses
for not relieving promptly the
burdens now bearing heavily
upon the poor people Of the
country. We believe President
elect Wilson will be able to do
this without in any way injur-
ing any one engaged in the
legitimate channels of trade or
producing from the soil the
necessities OF life. No one need
be afraid of being hurt except
those who speculate and gamble
upon these necessities. Wilson
is the friend of the farmer. the
mechanic and the honest trades
man, but he believes that the
big manufacturers should be
made to share more literally
with those who produce for
them.

A Great Democratic
Victory.

Wilson has swept the country.
1t was a great Democratic vic
tory. From East to West, North
to South, Atlantic to the Pacific
the people rallied to the stand
ard of the Peoples candidate.
There is JOY enough for all the
people. There is hope enough
for every body-that the coun-
try is going to be safely and
sanely ruled. The people want
ed change.
The American people have
again splendidly indicated
their reputation for soundness
of judgment. From one Of the
candidates they have heard
much about Lincoln, that states
man who knew them so well.
They have recalled what he
said about fooling them, and
they resolved that this should
rot be accounted one of the
years in which they could be
fooled. They have listened to
the pleading of the three causes,
and Heaven knows that the
pleas were long enough, and
many of them frantic enough.
to throw quite off their balance
a less sober-minded people.
They have listened to Mr. Will
son. They have carefully OBJ
served and measured him, un-
known as he was TO almost all
of them. They have seen Mr..
Taft hopelessly, and we fear
sadly, leading the remnant of
his broken party. They have
watched Mr.. Roosevelt with in
tense interest, but him they
knew. Then Tuesday they rem
dered their decision with an
emphasis which removes all
doubt that this is the very thing
they had all the time intended
TO do. The voters merely regis
tered a resolve they had formed
months ago, during the pre-
convention campaign. They
would have elected Wilson in
April or in May. Had kind
fortune spared Mr.. Taft the
disaster Of the Roosevelt as
sault and bolt, the result would
have been the same. Had Mr..
Roosevelt instead of Mr.. Taft
been nominated at the first
Chicago Convention, the result
would have been the same, for
then multitudes of Republicans
would have reinforced the DEM
ocratic host. The victory of
Wilson, the victory of the Dem
ocrats, was predestined in our
politics. 1t was time.

The election of Governor
Wilson vindicates the sound
common sense of the American
people. They will have progress.
They will have social justice.
They will have the well being
of the weaker elements of socie-
ty safeguarded. But they will
have all this in accordance with
law, and subject to the limita-

by methods under which the
country has prospered for 1913
years.
