WASHINGTON, April Z.
If the Democratic tariff program is
carried into effect we shall know in
few months, through the insistence of
President Wilson, whether or not high
cost of living is due to the tariff tax.
For many years the Democrats nave
denounced the protective tariff as the
mother of trusts, and the chief cause
of swollen fortunes and increased cost
of living The tariff to be made by
the session of Congress just opened
should furnish proof of the truth or
falsity of this charge.
From the Democratic point of view,
/ the Underwood tariff, as it will be
called, is sure to hit the trusts and
monopolies a crushing blow, if It
! doesn't kill them. and to make the
country more prosperous by making
cost of living less and the buying
power of wages more. From the point
of view of the proteetionist, the
months following the passage of the
bill, if it becomes law in the form it is
introduced, will mean business de-
preston, closing of factories. reduc-
ton of wages, increased unemploy-
ment and the reopening of soup
houses.
There are few ultra high-tariff
men left who believe the higher the
duties the greater the benefits to the
country. Generally, aside from these,
it is conceded by Democrats, Progress
sives and Progressive Republicans
alike, that many of the duties. pos
slbly most of them, should be much
reduced. The Republicans and Pro-
gressives, however, would reduce the
tariff to a point that would protect
the consumer against the extortions
of monopoly without destroying the
protection which enables American
industries to compete with foreign in
dustries. In the Underwood bill,
which embodies the Democratic Idea
of a tariff for revenue only, little con-
sideration is given to the question of
what the effect will be on industries.
What the Democratic Theory Is.
The Democratic theory is that le-
climate industries need no tariff pro-
lection. In the making of the pro-
posed new schedules the President
and his advisers have considered
mainly the effect upon revenues They
have put on the free list many arti-
cles which are the products of indus
tries which until now have had tariff
protection, and have cut and slashed
the rates on other commodities, leav-
ing so much tax as is thought to be
| necessary to produce the revenues
for the expense of government, with
out much attention to what the eff
feet may be on the industries.
The purpose of the Underwood bill
,, IS mainly trbenefit the ultimate con-
sumner by reducing prices to him.
TO this end most of the things that
go to fill the market basket have
been placed on the free list, and du-
ties have been geduced on other
things of common use in the house
hold.
IN some instances the reduced tariff
VIII still furnish incidental protec-
ton; it will still be high enough to

ARLY that same night Mr.,
= Shrimplin, taking Custer with
him. had driven out into the
country. Their destination was a spot
far down the river where catfish were
supposed to abound. for lzaak wal
tons gentle art was the little lamp
lighters favorite recreation. After
leaving Mount Hope they logged
along the dusty country road for some
two miles. then turning from it into a
little travelled lane they soon came
out upon a great sweeping bend of the
stream.

along the bank, Custer built huge

before he dropped it into the water.

And Mr. Shrimplin shifted his own
