A Bad Guess

The high cost of living is serious prob
lem in every American home. The Re-
publican party in its platform attempts
to escape from responsibility for present
conditions by denying that they are due
to Protective Tariff. We take issue
with them on this subject and charge
that excessive prices result in large
measure from the high tariff laws enact
ed and maintained by the Republican
party and from trusts and commercial
conspiraces iostered and encouraged by
such laws, and we assert that no sub
stantial relief can be secured for the
people until import duties on the neces-
saries of life are materially reduced and
these criminal copspiracies broken up
Democratic platform OF 1912.
This solemn declaration sounds funny
now, in view of the fact that the Demo-
Gratis reduced the high tariff to which
they attributed the high cost of living.
Despite the fact that the Democrats with
a President and both branches of Con-
gress have an absolutely free hand to re-
duce the high cost of living, prices of ne
cessities now are admitted to be the high
est ever kuOWu. NC ulS III SOSI vi iiSibS
is an increasingly serious problem in
every American home, and it is matter
OF interest to every householder to learn
just who or what is to blame now, ac-
cording to the Democratic view, for the
soaring prices.
1t has been pretty well establshed that
the Republican Protective Tariff, so saw
agely denounced by the Democrats, is not
guilty. The Protective Tariff has proved
a substantial alib. The Democrats in
looking around for goat" for alb
normal prices, naturally hit on the hated
Republican tariff and made a wrong
guess. Protection seems in the light of
competent testimony to have no more to
do with high prices than the gulf stream
or the vernal equinox. The Democrats
are, however. entitled to one more guess
and the public eagerly awaits it.
