Show i I KEEPING THEIR PROMISE? I i Did anyone perceive In tho St. Louis platform of tho Democratic party tho slightest rorcrenco to tho Tariff as the cause of tho high cost of living? That was their asset In tbo campaign of 1912. Did Senator Olllo James havo anything to Bay about free sugar? That was his prlzo ploco of stump bunk In tho campaign of 1912. Free sugar was to savo tho housewife two cents a pound on every ev-ery pound Bho purchased. Tho Tariff Tar-iff on sugar was cut 25 per cent to go on tho free list May 1, 191C. Tho price did not budge beforo tho war broke out whon It roso. It Is passing pass-ing strange that the Democratic party par-ty should havo overlooked their old friend, His Highness, Sr Living Cost, in their 1916 platform, but tho party Is as fickle as, Its chieftain.
