CATTLE CRY OF THE DEMOCRATIC HOSTS FOR 1904. ••Turin IlcftncMon nnrt Crnulne Bm- Iproeity," Wtlrti Menu* Free Trade • ■it tlie liiHtilllnifnl l'liin, to Be In- Kcribt'd on tlie Ilourhon HannerH. Recent speeches in congress by Dem ocratic leaders have practically deter mined what is to be the Democratic attitude toward the tariff in the carn- I aign of 1004, just as recent speeches I y Republlean leaders have substan tially indicated the policy of the Re -1 ulilican party. Briefly stated, the po sition is that the Democrats will at tack and the Republicans defend. In hi:-, speech in the house on March 28 Champ Clark of Missouri closed with the following plain declaration: "We forth with tariff reduction and gen uine reciprocity inscribed on our ban -1101':.." Here we have two converging at tacks—tariff reduction direct by legis lative vote upon the schedules and tariff reduction indirect by means of l imine" reciprocity—that is to say, wide open trade dickers which will is ;,ke it still easier for foreigners to come in and take possession of the American market. First, the present tariff is to be scaled down 10, 20, 30, ■lO and 50 per cent, nobody knows how much, and in the case of articles pro diteed by trusts (also by nontrust con cerns engaged in the same lines of production) the tariff is to be removed altogether. Second, the remaining rate.-, of duty thus lowered directly by legislative enactment are to be still further lowered by special reciprocity concessions. "Tariff reduction and genuine reciprocity" is to be inscribed mi the Democratic banners this year; not, tariff reduction alone or genuine reciprocity alone, but both together. I'.etween the two it is easy to see that not much will be left of practical protection. It is not Intended that much shall be left. The less the better is tiia Democratic idea. Not long ago John Sharp Williams wrote a maga zine article in which he characterized protection as robbery. Now, robbery is an atrocious tiling, a tiling not to be tolerated by statesmen actuated by moral principles; hence protection must go. Still more recently Mr. Williams, the Democratic leader in the house and very much the ablest and most influen tial leader the Democratic party has had in congress for several years past, expressed his views more in detail— tile.l a bill of particulars, as it were, setting forth his idea of the principle that should govern tariff reform legis h; i ion. Said Mr. Williams in this speech: "i will first tell you just the limits to which we can get along without im port duty; just the line of demarcation beyond which those duties are robbery and within which they are legitimate taxation, because they are taxation and. like all taxation, a necessary evil ufter all. I have stated it once before ttpou the floor of this house during the extra session or at the beginning of this,l have forgotten just when, but I will repeat the phrase again. You have a right to levy import taxation or any other sort of taxation upon the citizen, you have a right to weigh him tiown— it is weighing him down—just to the extent of the necessities of a government carried on economically, constitutionally and effectively, and above that you have no right to do it. Above that you not only have no gov ernmental right, but it ceases to be moral; it becomes robbery, a crime un der the thin cloak of law. The moment that the government takes one dollar out of my pocket that Is not needed for public purposes that government has taken advantage of its power, as a highwayman does, to hold me up and rol > me." Herein we may discover the outlines < 112 the shape which tariff reduction would take—must take—with men like .:olin Sharp Williams to plan and exe eiite. Given a Democratic majority i:. l.otli branches of congress and a Den: i - -at in the executive chair, and who e in doubt that tariff reduction or tari;.' reform would eliminate completely the principle of protection? To this com plexion it must come at hist, vheneve; - ti:e people of the Cnited States shall l.ave tired of being too prosperous ui: tier protection and shall decide, as they did in IW)2, to have a change and see v. hat will come of it. They are to d ci'ie that question this year. If they decide to place the Democratic part in power they will do so with theii eyes open. Messrs. Williams, Clark and the general body of Democratic speakers and writers have left no room for doubt as to what the Democratic party will do to the tariff if it gets the chance. The G rooming of Parker. Judge Parker will pray to tie delivered from his friend the New York Tillies, which argues that he is not groomed by Hill because he has decided 'several cases against Hill's clients. If groom ing a man politically meant owning liim judicially that fact, and not the groom, would wreck the candidacy.— l'lttsburg Dispatch. I WHEREAS, kiosk. K. M.
