WHAT BOOSTS THE COST.

We have constantly maintained that
the increased cost in the price Of ncees-
sItles of life is mainly-in some cases
together-due to speculative manipu.
lation that is in control OF the markets,
and the Unsuitable greed Of the mana
gers of the combines that work the
control of prices. We have insisted
that the great production of gold, so
far from being responsible for the in.
crease in prices, has not in fact kept
up with the credit demand for bank
reserves; and we have shown that the
low price Of silver gives a knock. k.out
blow TO the proposition that the over
production of gold, following the al
legged decrease of the purchasing power
Of that metal, is not the real cause Of
high prices, since silver should rise
if that is true; and that in view Of
the theory that the "overproduction
of gold " is responsible for the in
creased cost of living. the decreased
price Of gold measuring, is falacious
view. We have made the same com
parisou with regard to the cost Of
sugar as applied in this country and
throughout the world; and so it can
commonly be shown as TO any article.
that the proposition that gold over.
production is responsible, is unsound.
The proposition that speculative com.
bines control the market prices is re-

We have done nothing to aid them ma

Liberia languishes and the civilization

liable from time to time to extinction;
and since the United States does moth

over commissioners from time to time
to look into matters and report, without
any practical result other nations take

after exposing the fraudulent character
of the raise, that whatever tho sit
uation may be later on, the slsyward
trend Of prices is premature and a
gouge.
That is n fair illustration Of the way
that prices are manipulated by the COM
bines in control Of the markets. Moth.

cusc for raising prices, and no sort
of story is too ridiculous TO spring

whenever they determine on raise

TARIFF REVISION MACHINE.

IT has been eviedut that the political
managers Of the Democratic party in
Washington arc trying to put into

the tariff revision on such basis as
may be agreed upon by the President
and the House Ways and Means Com
mittee. The phase Of The subject thus
presented is discussed by tho Portland

There is no doubt but that the eff

so Justly and strongly stigmatizcs. is
being made, There is equally no doubt
that so far as appears now, that ef-
fort must necessarily fail. For. with
free wool, free sugar, and drastic
cut in the tariff on lead and zinc, it
would be impossible 10 rally enough
Democratic Senators TO agree with any
such House propositions. AS we have
pointed ont. the Democratic Senators
from Louisiana Will stand firm against
free sugar or any material reduction
in the sugar tariff, The two Demo
cratic Senators from Colorado and the
two Democratic Senators from Mis-
souri, viii stand solid against any de-
structive cut in the tariff on lead and
zinc. The two Democratic Seantors
from Montana can be depended upon
to stand firm against free wool. The
Senators from these four States, by
uniting their common interests, can
defeat any programme that includes
free sugar, free wool, or r material cut
In sugar or wool or in lead or zinc.
We reckon, therefore, that while
the political machine which the Demo.
Gratis seem likely to put into operation
in support of a partisan caucus tariff
bill, may jam it through the House,
there is not in the least likely Of
the Senate agreeing thereto.

LIBERALS SAD CONDITION.

The attitude of the United States to-
ward Liberia is fairly illustrative of
the proposed attitude that we are TAX
true that we have from the first en-
deavored to avoid entangling alliances
with European nations. The reason why
this avoidance was presented so strong
y in Washington s Farewell Address
was the likelihood Of trouble and
danger to US in those alliances; but
now that we have grown so strong, the
fact is that if there is any danger in
such alliances, that danger is to those
countries Of Europe or elsewhere who:
while in alliance with us, would be dis
posed to do what is unfair and contrary
to treaty rights. The danger is no
longer to us, but to "the other fell
low" Accordingly, the United States
entered into an agreement with the
other FIVE nations with respect to
that ancient country and to ensure
the open door for trade. As long as
we were in that alliance, we were in
position to say authoritatively what
we would stand for in China, and what
we would not. AS soon as we With
draw from that alliance we leave the
other FIVE nations to say what shall
be done about China with respect TO
the open door. An illustration of how
it works when the United States is
eliminated as a factor, may be seen
in the trade of Manchuria, where some
years ago we did tremendous business
in the supply of cotton goods. But while
nominally the open door is flung wide
in Mancburia, as a matter of fact
Japan furnishes practically all the
cotton goods that arc sold in that
province, because Japan is in political
control. And so il is likely TO be
throughout China When we give up
our voice in the six-power agreement
and let the remaining five powers
control, there will be no official or pub
licly declared closing OF the open
door. but all the same the Chinese trade
will 90 to those countries that are in
control.
The situation Of Liberia is in point
This country has always been sort
of overlord to Liberia; but We have
been so languid in exercising our over
lordship. SO lukewarm in supporting
Liberia or doing ANYTHING that would
in fact strengthen the country, that
we are getting TO be negligible quan-

supposed TO look to us especially
