THEM WILL WIN IN NEXT ELECTION SO BELIEVE THE LEADERS Democrats Say Reduced Tariff Will 8olve Problem Republlcane Aaaert Thlo Will Lower Wagea Alao— Pro greaalvea Have Other Ideae By GEORGE CLINTON leaders Washington — Washington of Demothe three parties Republican cratic and Progressive say that the party which can present the best plan to bring down the high cost of living will be the party to be assured of victory the next time there is a chance for the people to vote on national issues The leaders add that while the parties and the people are talking about the tariff the trust currency battleships and other things of imthey are thinking mainly on portance the price of beef butter eggs clothes and machinery seem In a measure the Democrats to believe that the high cost of living can be reduced by reducing the tariff Now Just as naturally as rain falls out cloud the Repubof an overburdened licans answer that if the customs are cut prices will go down but wages will go down with them and that men with less money will be no better off with low prices that they were with The more money and high prices say that there is a way Progressives to solve the high cost of living and it 1b not to be found through the tariff The duties they say should be cut to a considerable degree but not as much as the Democrats desire and this cut with other things yet to that be definitely determined will reduce the cost of living without reducing the rate of wages All Studying the Problem The high cost of living Is to be inbody but vestigated by a whether It will reach any conclusions of value of course remains to be seen The Democrats are going to study high prices in connection with legislation affecting the trusts the tariff and the They say that the trusts currency keep up the high cost of living and that the tariff 1b the mother of the trusts and so they hope through trust legislation and tariff legislation to accomplish the thing which seemingly all people want to be accomplished The Progressive party as has been has noted before In these dispatches established a working bureau for the purpose of studying the problem of the high prices for food raiment and rent There are a good many men and women connected with the Progressive party who are at once economists and social service workers These men and women have studied the economic problems in the hope that they might find tome means of relieving the condition of the poor in the congested districts of the big cities where wages are comparatively small families are large and prices are big Some of the Republicans say that can go ahead along the Progressives these lines of investigation if they choose to but they will find that the lines will lead into the realm of supply and demand and natural causes It is only 4 few of the generally Republicans who say this as a final answer There are leaders in the in Washington who maintain party that the high cost of living is the real big problem of the day and that the Republican party can get hack into power if it shall present a plan which For seems adequate to its solving reason this Republican economists are to study economic conditions and to present them to the congressional leaders some time In the future but in plenty of time to make them available in the congressional campaign one year from next fall tat Who Will Head This
