Tlio Columbia State nays John T

fraudulent intention.
This was the fourth count of an
Indictment that charged "conspiracy,

the South make a regular practice
of going barefooted, from the youngest

THE COST OF LIVING
LOOKS LIKE PltOTECTIVE TARIFF
AFTElt ALL TO 1JLAME.
Sorno Figures and Comparisons In
| Senator Moses K. Clapp of Minnesota.
A dispatch from Washington says
Senator Moses E. Clapp. of Minnesota,
who is every day becoming
moro bitter in his criticism of the
recent tariff revision, declares that
to oil without forcing that man to
few things has the tendency to advance
the cost on every necessity.
"Yott will hear it said constantly,"
said Senator Clapp. "with reference
to something on which the
price has been advanced, 'Oh, that
isii i in me tariiT at all. That increase
has nothing to do wltli the
tariff.' Hut tho fact la that the
tariff reaches all along tho line
You can't raiso tho cost of living
to a man who Is producing something
to sell without forcug that man to
raiso correspondingly tho price of
what ho has to sell.
"The new tariff law has cost, and
is costing the American people millions
on millions of dollars in increased
cost of living. And if tho
Payne-Aldrich bill had been beaten,
those millions would have boon saved
to the people. Tho increase in
import duties did not affect everything,
of course, but when the prlc
oh were raised by tho peoplo whose
rates had been increased, other people
were compelled to raiso their
price# in keeping. Tho thing started
with the tariff increases, and is
increasing the cost of living all along
tlie line.
"We must have no legislation that
will re-enforce tho combinations.
Tariffs so adjusted as to protect combinations
at homo against competition
abroad, must be lowered. The
combinations are eliminating competition
just as Sherman and Hlaino
twenty years ago saw that they
would. It 1h now a problem of how
to save our market from being controlled
by tho domestic combination,
just as formerly It was a problem
of how to protect it against control
by the foreign producer.
"A lady In Washington told me
of going to a crockery store and
pricing a set of dishes. It was
thirty dollars and tho tariff bill
hadn't been reported yet. Later,
when it had become generally known
that the revision was bolng made upward
rather than downward, she
went hack and asked about these
same dishes. The price had gone
up to serenty-nine dollars.
"But," she protested, "it was only
fifty dollars a few weeks ago."
"But tho tariff is being raised,"
was the response, "and things like
this are going to be higher."
"I looked up that description of
goods. It wasn't increased in the
tariff measure. But the understanding
was out that the manufacturers
were increasing prices because of
tho changes in tho duties; everybody
knew that cottons and woolens were
going up on that account, and so
t>e tendency was to push up tho
prices on other things.
TOO MANY WIVES.

qoubo, after that much sought bird
had boon repeatedly frightened away
from the scene by the clamor of the
contending participants. When Representative
Hayes, of California, the
mediator for the Insurgents, returned
to the house after calling upon
President Tuft the news circulated
rapidly that a truce had been arranged
and a more or less permanent
peace In the Republican ranks
was about to bo announced.
This was considered confirmed
when a statement issued from the
White House and another from Representative
Dwight, the Republican
whip, announcing the details of the
armlstie. The peace promtnciamento
proved premature, however, for Representative
Hayes, between numerous
conferences with his associates, announce!
that no agreement had been
reached and that the matter would
io over until later.
At this juncture the insurgents
gathered in the room of Representative
Rardner, of Massachusetts, lsbued
another statement, saying that
"an understanding had been reached."
The statement, which was given
out by Representative Mayes,
follows:
Insurgents' Statement.
"It is true that an understanding
has been reached that wo shall attend
the caucus about bo bo held
for the choioo of the Republican
members of the Investigating committee.
The question of future conferences,
however, is one on which
there has been no agreement. Tn
fact. I had no authority from my
associates to enter into that question.
Of course, this agreement, in no
way affects the issue as to the present
system of control of the house
of representatives."
Mr. Hayes was asked if the word
"wo" used in his statement meant
all the insurgents in the house. He
replied that it did, and that all of
the Insurgents concurred in the statement.
The Democrats of the house an- j
nounced that they would hold a caucus
Saturday night to name the minority
meml>ors of the committee
to investigate the Rallinger-Pinchot
affair. The Democrats insist upon
their right to name the minority
members of the committee, and if the
majority declines to allow it, there
is a prospect of a Democratic-RepubUcan-insurgent
alliance upon the
question. The insurgents say they
are contending merely for a fair committee
and care not who are its
members.
President Issues Statement.
The following statement was given
out by President Taft:
"It has been agreed between the
regular Republicans and the so-called
insurgents represented by Mr.
Dwlght on the one hand and Mr.
f r? - * 1
njtyes on mo otlier, after conferences
with the President, that a
caucus should he held to pass upon
the question of the committee in the
interior department investigation
with the assurance that the insurgents,
if they came into the caucus,
would he treated fairly and that
a committee of acknowledged impartiality
would be appointed. A
further agreement was foreshadowed
that the caucuses should he held
from time to time, to which all elected
as Republicans, should be invited
to take up the various measures
recommended by the administration
as performances on the party pledges,
the subject of each caucus to be
announced in advance."
The statement of Representative
Dwight, the Republican whip of the
house, concerning the reported understanding
between the regulars
and insurgents was as follows:
"Regulars' " Statement.
"The questions of the past have
been forgotten. The tariff bill is
no longer a matter for discussion.
The speakership fight is ended. The
question of the rules Is not now an
issue. We are confronted with tho
problem of redeeming the pledges
of the Republican party to the people.
