THEY DRAW THE LINE
OEMOCRATt MAKE THE MAIN IS
SUE PLAIN,
By Declaring In Their Platform That
"Protection la Robbery," They De
clare Anew That They Ar Wedded
to the Doctrine of Free Trade.
The Democratic party In national
convention baa declared that "protec
tion la robbery of tbe many to nrlcb
the few." The Republican party In
national convention haa declared ita
beliof In and aupport of protection, aa
eBtlal to the proaperlty vt Lbs
American people.
Practically all of the laruea men
tioned In the platforma of the great
parti? thia y-ar will have little con
sideration In the campaign except tbla
xiuarely drawn line of difference b
tw n them on thla elementary prin
ciple In the economic policy of the
American republic. It will be uaeleas
for the lea'k'ra of the Ixinocratlc par
ty to attempt to make an laaue over
alleged vlolailona of prlnclpk-a of the
l.'t.lted Htata Conntltutlon by I'renl
dent Hooaevelt and bis party, when It
Is a fa-t perfectly apparent to all
thoughtful American citlzeni that the
complaint made by the liemorrata In
r.'(K'Ct to th'-ae -gt l Issue have no
real foundation. In an attempt lo get
away from the overpowering Influence
of itweeplnir, defeat In two great na
tional campaign on the Ipku'j of the
monetary tan!urd, the Democratic
party, through Its. delegate. In nation
al convention assembled, has, by elect
ing to maintain abk.lute ailenee on
the Ktibjert of the money question,
nought to etirr.lnate that question frim
among the Imie to be discussed dur
ing the campaign. With po many still
titsettleij problems Intimately as'ici
ated with the financial Fyatem, such
as r.aUntial hanks of las'je, and pro
vlslotis for liiTeaing tho monetary
upp'y. It seern4 Iiicre ilble that a par
ly liic(i raits nix and a half million
votes In a national campaign only four
jinr"! ao, wblie declnrir.g aealnst the
lr. gle gold Handard. should no far
flinlt defeat on that question as to
i' Kiro that there fliall be no further
llvrusslon of It. Ifut wh. ther tbe par
'Y .shall be H'lccesFful in this attempt
so evade an l.'.fue which Its linden
'orced upon the country durlns? two
national campaigns, remains to be
een. At. this time, when there Is dls--iifsion
of the question whether the
:niifl law of the I'nlted States shall
:! revlied, nnd when that revision
'hall be made. It certainly becomes a
paramount Untie In the campaign when
tl: two partlin are lined up with fo.--nal
dei lnratloiiK, the Republican party
for, and the Iiemocrntic party against,
!he doctrine 1. f protection.
In its rourfo upon the money qucs
:lon, th 1 leinoc ratlc party In natlomil
tonvi. rttlon. at different times during
:he past flfucn years, has made decla
rations, positive and unequivocal at
jne time, to he followed by evasion,
Miulvocntlon and nib-nee at other
times. The party has heretofore de
clared that the principle of protection,
which has been tbe fundamental prl.v
riple. underlying every tariff act sin"!
the firwt tariff law was signed Uy
fieorge Washington, Is an unconstitu
tional principle, and directly hostile
10 the bat-lc law of the republic. In
lis platform declaration this year the
1 11 iiioiruilc party does not say that
protection Is unconstitutional, but vlo
! ntly abulia It aa robbery. Surely,
11 would seem that a principle of gov
ernment, or of taxation, that Is aub
Ject to denunciation as severe as
would be applied to a criminal offenso
confili.tlnp of 0110 person violently tak
ing the property of another, must not
only be unronstttiil lonal, but de
serves to bo uprooted from tho law of
tho land without the slightest hi.nlta
tlrn. The Republican party declared in
Its platform at Chicago its faith In and(
miiiport of protection as esBctitlnl to
the prosperity of tho American people.
The Republican party In that platform
recognized tho present public discus
sion of tariff revision to the extent of
snylng that changes In tho tariff
should be mado whenever tho good
to be derived from such action would
not be overbalanced by the evils which
might flow from the agitation luel
ileht to such changes. What was more
Important In connection with the tar
in Ikhuo of the time was the formal
declaration in the Republican plat
form that when changes In the tariff
urn made tho work should bo Intrust
ed to the friends of protection, not to
tho enemies of protection. It Is the
belief of protectionist that the ex
perience of the American people un
der the revision of tho tariff made by
tho Democratic party In 1891, which
was attended by great Industrial dis
aster the cloning of mills and facto
ries, nnd the throwing of thousands
of men out of employment, and caus
ing widespread loss to American
worklngmen In reduction of wage, as
well as In loss of employment war
rants them In r-aylng that when tho
tariff Is lo bo revised It should not
be revised by tho Democratic party.
That tho Republican party will read
Just tho tariff when It Is necessary,
and do It upon protection lines. Is
demonstrated by the exprrlunco cf
the past.
The Republican parly has never heg
Itated to undertake readjustment
when. In Its Judgment, changes In the
tariff schedules wero necessary or de
sirable. The Republican party. In
May, lRO. Introduced what la known
aa the Morrill tariff bill as a purely
protective measure, and it was passed
ten months later and signed by Pres
ident Ruchouan two days before the
tiiauiruratlon of Abraham Lincoln. Aa
a check upon foreign Importations and
tho outward flow of gold to pay for
them, as a stimulus to domestic pro-
d action, and aa producer ot 'eon
to defray the expense of tbe War of
th Rebellion, tbe flrat tariff la
passed by the Republican party proved
lueif of Incalculable benefit to tbe
country.
The Republican party readjusted
tbe tariff downward In 1S72, and again
la 193, for the purpose cf correcting
some inequalities. The results of these
downward readjustments were far
from satisfactory.
The Republican party readjusted
the tariff upward In 190, and In con
sequence tbe conn try entered upon
new era of prosperity.
Once more. In 1097, the Republican
party readjusted tbe tariff upward. In
order to correct tbe grosa Inequalities
and disaster-producing features of the
Democratic tariff readjustment of
1!M. and forthwith followed a period
of prosperity far exceeding anything
previously known in tbe world'a his
tory.
Through all those years of tariff re
vision and modification the position
of the Republican party has consist-,
ently been in favor of a tariff law em
bodying the essential principles of pro
tection. Through all those yeara tbe
iK-mocratlc party baa opposed protec
tion, and In tho only period of Demo
cratic control In all, branches of the
Federal government? that party re
vised tho tariff upon lines that 1k
nored as far as possible the princi
ples of protection. Here Is presented,
therefore. In a few words, the records
of the two parties during the past for
ty years. The Republican party has
revised and modified the tariff when
Mich action was necessary cither to
Increase the Federal revenues or to
correct inequalities of the law. The
Democratic party, when entrusted
with power, revised the tariff upon
non-protection lines, and In the sched
ules of the law which It passed re
fused protection to some of tho most
Important Industries in tho United
States the factory, the mine and tho
farm. In every Instance when the
Republican party made a tariff ' law
the Industries of the country were
quickened into new life, capital found
r-.-ndy investment and worklngmen re
ceived Increased opportunities for em
ployment at Increased and increasing
wageR. When tho Democratic tariff
act of 5 SO I was passed It was followed
by greater competition from the prod
ucts of foreign lands, with the result
that domestic Industries were crip
pled and & rr.ll'.ion worklngmen In
this country were either thrown out
of employment or their wages were
greatly reduced.
Admitting for the purpose of argu
ment that the time may come when
the tariff law of the United States
should be modified In order that any
Inequalities It contains may be cor
rected, and its schedules made to con
form to altered conditions, the ques
tion which will confront every voter
in tho coming campaign Is whether
such changes In the tariff shall be
made by the Republican party, the
friend and supporter of protection, or
by tho Democratic party, which op
poses protection and declares it to bo
robbery.
It would seem from this statement
of the situation, which Is an accurate
statement, borne out by the facts of
history and the experiences of men In
this country during very recent years,
that the efforts of the Democratic par
ty in its national platform to meet
tho tariff issue with tho plain declar
ation that "protection Is robbery,"
and at the same time attempt to sugar
coat those powerful and significant
words with tho suggestion that the
tariff bo "gradually" reduced, togeth
er with the forrevenue-only stipu
lation that "the tariff be limited to the
needs of tho government," cannot but
be regnrded by thoughtful people
everywhere as a covert attempt of
tho party to mislead tho people Into
striking a blow at protection under
tho claim that tho blow will not be
permitted to do harm.
Tho effort of the Democrats to dls
gulso their purpose in assaulting pro
tection will not be successful. The
American peoplo are In favor of pro
tection. They will not entrust the
making of a tariff law to a political
party that Is opposed to protection.
As well might tho American people
have Invited Mr. Ilryan In 1896 or In
1900 to make and executo a law cstab
Ishlng the gold standard as to Invite
tho Democratic party under Judge
I'arker, on a platform that declares
"protection to bo robbery," to make a
tariff law that shall protect American
Industries and American labor.
Why "Gradual f
In one sentenco denouncing protec
tion as robbery, almost the next
phraso of the Democratic platform
guarantees the "gradual revision" of
tho existing protective tariff! What's
that? Protection a robbery that is to
be corrected "gradually?" It Is as
though a thief caught red handed
stood In the prisoners' dock to be thus
addressed by tho Jttdgo:
"I fud you, sir, convicted of picking
pockets. Tho sentence of this court Is
that you gradually revise your thiev
ish propensity, and that you diminish
the number of pock,ota picked from
day to day and from week to week,
until finally you will cease altogether
to pick pockets. You may go."
If It be true that "protection la rob
bery," then there should be nothing
'gradual" about suppressing tbe fel
onious policy. It ought to be Instantly
stopped. If It be not true, as every
person of common Intelligence knows
it Is not; but If protection is, on the
contrary, a nystem and a policy under
which millions of homes have been
mado happier and our country has
gained tho foremost place among all
tho nations of the world, then the
Democratic party should be held un
worthy of confidence and unfit to
undertake the management of national
affair. And that Is what is going to
happen.
Missouri Doings

ATE LUNCH IN A THICKET
Officers Also Giving Attention to
Whereabouts of Woman's Rings.

ing herself by the dining room fire.
"Dearest,' called Mrs. Smith from
upstairs, "bas Jane put my shoes to
warm at the dining room fire?"
"No, darling." Mlsa Brown replied,
"yours are not here, but your hus
band's are."

Waitresses on Japanese Railroads.
Refreshment cars on some of the
Japanese railroads are now attended
by waitresses. The girls are care
fully chosen and made to pass quite s
stringent examination. The first
qualification Is good looks; the sec
ond, a pasFable education, and the
third good conduct and references.
Tbe waitresses take rank as railway
officials and wear a pretty costume,
in modified national style, with West
ern Improvements. The girls on duty
must behave with military discipline,
take no tips, refrain from chatter
with passengers and efface them
selves as much as a well bred wait
ress should. The new departure tm
been a complete success, and the rail
way authorities are greatly satisfied
with their girl attendants.

forthcoming ur.t!l tho other day, when
an announcement was mado by the
promoters of the show that they had
now opened a lottery for men only

of the winning number must marry
one of the prize winners In the beauty
show, who would In turn receive a
proportionate share of the proceeds
of tho beauty show as a dowry. If
there are no marriages the promoters
are to have the proceeds of both
shows.
