LIVING COST NOT LOWERED.

The cost Of living has materially in
creased during the past few months, as
most people are painfully aware. And
yet II was upon a platform promising
a reduction in the cost of living upon
which the democrats went into the
campaign in 1912, and upon this same
issue they secured control of the ma
tional house of representatives.
Upon the democrats taking control
of the government they reduced the
tariff, under the same plea, causing a
depression of industries and the loss
of employment by many workmen I'M
til the war orders gave boom to
certain lines of industries and caused
a fortuitous prosperity; cut down the
customs so that onerous special taxes
are necessary to carry on the govern
ment, and Notwithstanding decreased
revenues have been recklessly extrava-
CANT in appropriations.
Despite the assertions of the demo-
Gratis that the high cost of living would
be lowered, nearly everything that en-
tiers into the daily consumption of the
community is dearer than it has been
for many years and the problem OF
making both ends meet is becoming in
the case of thousands more and more
difficult of solution Miss Adeline E..
Simpson, trustworthy and experience
ed social worker of New York fur
nishes some comparisons of the prices
the poor people of that city now pay
rs compared with two or three years
ago. Stockings which cost 10 cents,
now cost 25 cents; calico, which was
cents a yard, now costs II cents;
muslin, which cost cents yard now
brings 10 cents; tomatoes, which cost
10 cents can, now cost Is cents; po-
tatoes, which sold for 81 a bushel, now
bring $1.75. The cost of meats has so
increased as almost to exclude them
from the poor mans table, and this
notwithstanding that since January |,
$4,000 quarters of beef, 100000 car
casses of mutton and 147 900 carcasses
of lamb have been sent into the United
States by Argentina. This meat paid
no revenue to the government nor did
1t cause any decrease in the cost Of liv-
ing. Every article of clothing and
wearing apparel the poor man buys
for himself and his family costs more
With the cost of living still soaring
and the revenues of the government
decreasing from the near-Free-Trade
tariff law enacted by the democratic
administration the people of the Unit
ed States would be in pitiabe condi-
ton but for the prospe rity now depen-
dent upon the patronage of the bellig-
erent countries for munitions and food
stuffs But when the war is over, there
will be different tale to tell, unless
there is change in the administration
