strength anti power of party govern-
ment. Since that time our enumera-
tion has increased by three millions
and partnership papers have been
drawn authorizing the administration
of two new states to the Union. This
will add four members to a scuttle
of only ninety and result in a further
concentration of power in u hotly even

length of term of scrvlcc and ab-
sence of proporltiouute representa-

removed from direct responsibility to
the people. It will add six rcprt-scntlu

body already too la‘rgc for the prompt
and efficient dispatch of the enormous
amount of business which now comes
before it.

“Wild Vigor demands-a change
A change to what? Let us briefly
examine the practical operation of
“19 policy Which they propose to sub-
stitute for the one which has proved
itself such an amazing success. -
Two years ago the National Demo.

to be robbery and in accordance

manent presidents of the convention.
have clearly and emphatically stated
the policy of the party if given the
control of the house of representatives.
As Williams would be speaker and
Clark chairman of the' ways and
means committee which would origi-
nate a new tariff law. there is no
question about their speaking with
authority.
Williams said in Evorybody’s Maga~
zinc for February, 1904:
"The ultimate goal of Democratic
striving is "l‘ariff for revenue only.‘
Perhaps it might be said that an ideal
Democratic tariff for revenue only
would consist. in levying import du.
tics upon all or nearly all imports, dl-
vldlug them. however. into three
rlnsses-necessarles of life and of la
dustries; second, comforts, and third.
luxuries. The general principle that
protectionism ls wrong. morally wrong,
a prostitution of government. to pri-
vate ends. should never be forgotten.
The goal ought not to be lost sight of."
I asked Mr. Williams on the floor
of the house this spring if he still
hold this position and he said he did
and would republish the article In the
Record.
Clark
speech):
“The true Democratic position on
the tariff is this: Recognizing the fact
that a large portion of our revenue tilts
always been raised from customs du-
ties or taxes, Democrats divide all
imports into three classes—«necessar-
ies, comforts and luxuries and con-
tend that the tariff taxes should be
highest ‘ou luxuries. lower on com-
forts, anti lowcst or none at all on
the necessaries. ’l‘hey furthermore
say that taxes should be uniform on
all articles belonging to onc‘s class.
That is the Democratic party's posi-
tion, truth which it will not be driven
or coaxed or bullied. No amount of
mlsrtprosenlatimi will cause them to
budgc front that position."
There are the latest and most speci-
flr declarations made by any one in
the Democratic party with authority
to speak and outline their party policy
if they have one.
Note the distinctive features of it:
First—~All ltnportutlons are to be

for the dividing line. between the par-
ties is one of principle and not of
schcdulcs. Ono stands for a tariff for
revenue only with protection denounc-

for a tariff for revenue with protoc-

There is no middle ground. no room
for compromise of principle, for on
the maintenance of the American
wage system is based the welfare of
the masses. the education of the chil-
