Democratic State Platform.
We, the democrats of Iowa, in con
vention assembled, rereby reaffirm the
principles of the democratic national
pldtlorm adopted at Kansas City, July
5,1900, and without surrendering our
convictions or abating our loyalty to
our national polities, we believe this
campaign to be particularly one that
should be confined to state issues.
"Resolved, That the fundamental
principle of democracy, 'equal rights
t, to all and special privileges to none,'
applies in full force to tne subjeot of
taxation. The democratic party be
lieves that the burden of taxation
should be borne equally by all taxable
property. We pledge the members of
the general assembly to formulate
and urge the adoption of suoh a law
as will compel the burdens of taxation
to rest on corporate and individual
property alike, without favor or ex
emption of any interests.
"We demand economy in the admin
istration of state affairs, the repeal of
the mulct law, the enactment of a lo
cal option law, the abolition of offices
of state printer and state binder, and
•-the contracting for supplies for the
state with the lowest responsible bid
der.
"We cordially invite all honest men
I -Js of the state to unite with us in secur-
ing the enactment of these principles
into law."

DILEMMA OF REPUBLICANS.
SInormoua Growth of Trust* utd
Monopolies Under Protection
Staarsera Them.
The unexpected often happen* in
politics. When tbe republic***

MH few
ee-ttiea Mie tariff friisjfoa mdtML
policy of protection would not again
be disturbed. They claim that pros
perity is dependent upon the main
toining of the protection wall they
have so oarefully erected. But sud
denly some of -the nuost pronounced
Irienda of protection express their
purpose of making a breach in the
wall, and the whole tariff matter is
again brought up for discussion by the
irery men who said it was settled for all
Itime. The enormous growth of trusts
and monopolies under the protection
granted them by the republicans was
foretold by the democrats when the
Singley bill was enacted, and now the
people are being aroused by the faot
that .the foreigners are buying trust
productions for less than they are,
(the allies of the trusts in congress are
in a dilemma. They must cut off pro
tection from the trusts or the prospeot
of defeat stares them in the face. But
(to acknowledge they are wrong and
(that their theory of protection is at
Jtault is another predicament, and the
great majority of the republicans, utt
ifler the leadership of Hanna and the
president, have determined -to evade
£he strait they are in by the unconsti
tutional and roundabout way of reci
procity.
But reciprocity will not accomplish
what the people are demanding, that
protection be withdrawn from the
trusts. There is another danger
looming up to disarrange the proteo
Ition theory, and the only way that
oan be averted is by giving up the
colonies that have been acquired by
/the expenditure of such vast sums
and the sacrifice of so many lives.
^This the Nashville American diS'
cusses when it says: "After a delay
for which there was no defense, free
£rade has been established with
Porto Rico. The country has finally
penormed it« "plain duty" as point

'I*
force of circumstances which no
party could control, accepted and
fuloptorl the old democrntic policy of
territorial expansion, it entered upon
policy which is the enemy of a tar
iff policy. Expansion and free trade
go together. A severe blow was
struck the republican policy of a pro
tective tariff when Dewey's guns in
Manila bay gave to this country the
Philippine archipelago, and when the
war with Spain gave tw Porto Rieo
and paved the way for the ultimate
annexation
oi
Cuba. Free trade ha*
been established with Porto Blca,
and free trade with the Philippine*
muet follow. It is inevitable. Ex
pansion is an entering wedge which
itrast eventually drive asunder tha
tariff wall erected by republican legf
islation. The tobacco and cane and
beet sugar and rice and fruit grow
ers may succeed in delaying free
trade with the Philippines, as they
have delayed for a time free trade
with Porto Rico, but the time is not
far away when trade will be as free
between the Philippines and the
United States as it is between the
states of the American union. And
the time is coming when there will be
free trade with Cuba also. The logio
of events will force free trade in oth
er directions."
The only way the people will eve*
get any relief from the tariff tax and
the extortion of the protected trusts
Is by revising the tariff on tJie demo
cratic principle of a tariff for revenue
only large enough to produce what
money the government requires
economically administered. Protec
tion is the mother of trusts and must
go the way of all monopolies.

"If American manufacturers want
to sell their print cloths to the peo
ple of Paraguay they must furnish
goods with either a red or blue base,'
John N. Ruffin, United States consul
at Asuncion, Paraguay, explained in
an interview. Mr. Ruffin, who is at
present in this country, is arranging
to return to his post in about two
weeks. Be has been the consul at
Asuncion for five years, and has
spent many more years in South
Amerioa.
"There are two leading politioal
parties in Paraguay, the Colorado#
and the Aeuls," he continued. "The
color of the Coloradoe is red and of
the Azuls'blue. The party in power
now is the Colorados, or what might
be properly called the liberals. The
intense partisanship of every mail
woman and child is siaaply astoniaS
ing. A member of the 'red' party
would no more allow his wife or chll
dren to wear clothing in which the
predominating color was blue than
he would vote the 'blue' ticket him
self. The 'blues' are the same way,
and as a result the party's oolors
have had a distinct -action in the col
ors of the clothing of the people,
feel that American print cloth man
ufacturers ought to know this in or
der that they may be guided in the
patterns they ship to Paraguay."
Mr. Ruffin is enthusiastic over the
future possibilities of Paraguay, and
}S anxious to aid in developing trade
between that country and the United
States. He says the present great
barrier to trade is the lack of direct
steamships between the United States
and Paraguay and the other South
American countries..

The interest in the big visitor is
almost incredible. People with no
idea of the-points of a yacht stare at
the naked hull of the Shamrock, or at
some ^istruse move in her equip

It's the sporting instinct.
Some 70 men wear the Lipton uni

tender, the Erin. They have a good

the sake of winning quite as muoh as
for the money.

Really, the dimensions are tremen

and bigger than the mainmast of the
old frigate Constitution.
Her men have one trick that never
fails to amuse the on-looker—in set
ting the main-sail they do not haul
away from the deck, like Yankee
sailors, but swarm up the rope lad
ders like onta, catch the gbeet, swtaig
off inte a 1M f«ot of BO/tbl##cess and
"ride dawn" to t&e deck. When they
have done that or any other duty
they run quickly to the windward rail
and lie flat as close as they oan get
—helping the ballast and catching as
little wind as may be. Not. a muscle
do they move. They lie as still
dead men laid out for burial, with
their heads fiat on the deck. Only
their shining eyes look alive.
