High Prices Have Reduced Wages by
Comparison With Profits of Capi
talCost of Living Must Be Re
duced by Revising Tariff
The enormous overcapitalization of
the trusts and combines renders it
necessary for them to continue to ex
act high prices for their products or
be unable to pay dividends on their
. fictitious capital. The protection the
tariff gives them makes the Mgh
prices possible, as it prevents compe
tition from abroad, so that the trusts
have a monopoly of the home market.
Sheltering the Trusts
To make the American people pay
these high prices the tariff must be
preserved intact, not to produce reve
nue for the government, but to shel
ter the trusts. Secretary Shaw is
rtAfendinfir this . Dolicy of trust protec
tion and high prices on the ground
that "cheaD products of labor mean
cheap labor," which is a new theory
V in economics that the protectionists
invented to bxJld workingmen . to

ts league with the combines and cor
porations. - .
Mr. Shaw, being secretary of the
reasurv. is suDDOsed to speak for the
administration on such economic sub
jects as tariff and revenue; so, al
though his "cheap" doctrines are ab
surd and his statements fallacious,
yet as President Roosevelt allows him
to continue on the stump It must oe
supposed that sounding the praises of
tgh prices is endorsed by the aamin-
stration.
New Arguments Needed
It is not true that "cheap products
of labor mean cheap labor," says the
New York World, nor was that libei
upon American ingenuity wont to be
uttered in the earlier days oi tarin
armiments. It used to be said mat
competition, coupled with high wages
kept products cheap by compelling tne
mnrovement of the machine.' ui late
the trust makers have learned the
trick of improving the machine, rais
ing the price and pocketing the stu
pendous profit of progress.
Tho nortlon of labor In American
production has generally Increased
within the past few years wnen meas
ured in dollars and cents. It has not
Increased when measured by meat and
rent and clothing. It has actually de
clined by comparison with the profits
of capital.
G. O, P.'s Opportunity
The republican Darty has an unri
valed opportunity for public service
in reducing the cost of living by revi
sion of the tariff, and this service it
is, by its reiterated pledges, bouad
to render.
It is bound to reduce tariff taxa
tion which has proved unnecessary
and burdensome. It is Douna to sees
such reciprocal arrangements for
freer trade with other nations as Ger
many is just now anxious to make.
Nor can the question be dodged.
It is unescapable. It is pressed by
the woman with the market basnet.
It is urged by the growing deficit.
There are not so many ways in
which the governments expenditure
can be made to match its income.
This can be done by cutting down es
Denditure and the only place where
many millinos can be spared is in
our mounting bills for warlike prepa
ration. It can be done by tariff reduc
tion which shall stimulate foreign
trade and so1 swell the custom house
receipts. There is no other way.
It mav be a distressing choice for
the standpatters, but they cannot
evade it by abusing cheapness, which
is the universal demand of every citi
zen when he spends his wages.
OHIO'S FEDERATION OF LABOR
Declares for Referendum and Wil
Question Candidates
The Ohio State Federation of Labor
at its late annual meeting at Cincin
nati adopted resolutions, declaring for
co-operation with all non-partisan or
ganizations to secure a constitutional
amendment for the Initiative and ref
erendum. Til federation also in
structed its v scutive committee to
question the c Mldates of all parties
"whether or not, If elected, they will
vote to submit a constitutional amend
ment and thereby give tho people of
the state a chance to express their
opinion." Hut the members of the
federation seemed to be practical
politicians and determined on results,
for they further resolved:
That whenever any legislative can
didate Ignores the communication of
tho committee or declares himsolf op
posed to m'rmlttln tho pronto tn
vote on such an amendment, It shall
be the duty of the committee to m
inform all labor organizations within
tho district of n.ild candidate, to the
end that the members of organized
labor may not be betraved. bv their

ent'mlt.
That action Indicated that practical

party, only for these candidates who
have pledged themselves to install the
referendum system. If only one can
didate so pledges himself the labor
votes will be massed on such can
didates and in those legislative dis
tricts where the labor vote is num
erous, will decide The -result, and in
many other close districts are liable to
affect the result. When all the can
didates pledge themselves the voters
will follow their usual political affilia
tions. This non-partisan action has
two great advantages, it will cause
many legislative candidates to pledge
themselves for the referendum, wno
otherwise would be indifferent, or
even hostile, and it keeps the Federa
tion of Labor out of partisan politics
and vet allows it to he a strong
force politically for the legislation it
desires.
Two sailors were seated at a table
before a cafe.
One Bailor had a letter before him,
and was reading it aloud, while at
the same time the other sailor held
his hands over the reader's ears.
The friendly waiter, impelled by an
rreslstlble curiosity, paused before
the table.
'Whv." he asked, "do you hold your
hands over your friend's ears while
he reads that letter out loud to you?"
"Because." was the digninea an
swer, "the letter is from my sweet
heart. Jack Is reading it to me De
cause I can't read myself. That is
all rieht. but I don't want mm to

hotel proprietor, "what did you say

"Why." replied the waiter, "ne

took three oranges and six pears."
