Tvenoer, The Coorler,i Washington Corres pondent. Washington, June 28. "Why is it that the price of articles on which the -ariff was not rdvanced, has in creased since the passage of the Payne-Aldrich bill?" I put this question to United States Senator, Moses E. Olapp, of Minnesota, one of the genuine 'progressive Republi cans of Congress. ' "lean answer that question," re plied Senator Olapp, "in less than two minutes, and no one will suc cessfully contradict my statement "In the Payne-Aldrich revision of the tariff, the rates on scores upon scores of articles were advanced. Those increases have advanced the price of everything; yes, have in creased the price of articles on which the tariff was not changed. "Yon can't raise the cost of living to a man who ' is producing some thing to sell, without forcing that man to raise correspondingly the price of what he has to sell. "Suppose both of ns are in busi . ness, and that each has to use what the other produces. Suppose the tariff on the article I handle is in creased, while the tariff on the arti cle you handle is not increased. ; By virtue of my increased protection, I force you to pay increased prices. What are you going to do about it? What must you do about it? An swer: you must increasa the price of what you have to sell ! And that's just the way it works out all along the line, and in the end all of the increases fall upon the broad shoul ders' of the consumer. "But you will hear it said con stantly with reference to something on which the price ha3 been advan ced, 'Oh, that isn't in the tariff at all. That increase fras nothing to do with the tariff.' . But the fact is tariff revision upward on a few arti cles, reaches all alone the line. "The new tariff law has cost, and is costing the American people mil lift.. An milliwia np lrtllara in ' in creased cost cf living. And if the Payne-Aldrich bill had been beaten, those millions would have been saved to the people." BattUahlpa Are KxpeaitTC.

The cost of each ship would by 8,000 farms at $4,000 each; it would construct 1,610 churches throughout the country at $20,000 each; it would furnish the means of eauca tion through a four-year course to 16,000 men or women at $500 per annum; it wouia puna ana equip ou manual traiuinr schools with neces' sary tools and appliances, giving a trade to 75,000 young people each : nn U mn 1 A ii i 1 A a manorlam ra rl between Chicago and New York, or build and equip 40 z.

RoomtcU ana Tart, Gilson Gardner, a newspaper cor respondent whe joined the Roosevelt party in Egypt and accompanied it to Washington, and who had almost daily interviews with the ex presi. dent, stakes his reputation on te prediction that the Taft administra tion has been 'so thoroughly bad that Roosevelt will not endorse it in any shape, form or manner. He de clares Taft deserted the Roosevelt policies cold-bloodedly. In connec tion with Gardner's statement, it is significant that Roosevelt should have been this long on American soil following his long absence in Africa without having seen the man be made president or having men tioned him in any way. Roosevelt and Taft have not met since March 4, 1909. AldrlCta "Staade Pat." Hear ye! Hear ye!
