Two years ago the protective tariff
was destroyed. Yet the trend OF the
cost Of living is still upward. Prices
are higher now than they were under
the much-raalignSd Payne-Aldrich law.
For Is articles which are served on

United States the average price for
the year 1914 was per cent higher
than in 1918. And the average price
was 5l5 per cent higher than in 1912.
The figures which show the steady
increase, despite the fact that 81 per
cent OF all imports are now coming

are the official result Of an investi-
cation made by the department of la.
