PARTY NOT SINCERE
TRUTH ABOUT DEMOCRATIC AT
TITUDE ON THE TARIFF.
At Heart, Protection Is Demanded
Wherever Its "Special Interests"
Are Concerned—Some Facts
the Voters Should Know.
Representative Slemp 01 Virginia,
who Is making an active campaign
for re-election, is telling the people
of his district some things about the
Democratic party's real attitude to
ward the tariff which should have
wider circulation, through the press,
for illumination of minds that may
have become befogged by the contin
uous misrepresentation that has been
carried on by Democratic opponents
of the protective system.
For general publication, for appeal
to the unthinking and the ignorant,
the Democratic party is for tariff re
duction or free trade, and makes the
false plea that by such means it
would bring about a lower cost of liv
ing. At heart it is for protection
wherever its "special interests" de
mand it, and out of the sight of the
public its representatives work to se
cure protection for such interests.
In a speech in which he fully and
instructively discussed the tariff, Mr.
Slemp told his hearers that he had
learned what the Democratic policy
of "tariff for revenue only" really
means. It may be defined, he said,
as—
Protection for what you have to sell,
and
Free trade for what you have to
buy.
Mr. Slemp told of his surprise when
he saw some of his Democratic col
leagues, committed by their party
declarations to tariff reduction, asking
for tariff increases for particular in
terests. "I thought," he said, "judg
ing from their platform declarations
for the past 50 years, that they looked
upon protection as 'robbery,' and
would not dare participate in any
benefits to be derived from it. On
the contrary I found —
"Forty Democratic members of Con
gress from the South violating their
party pledge and asking for protec
tion on lumber.
"Senator Tillman asking for a tariff
of ten cents a pound on tea.
"Mr. Maynard and Mr. Lassiter,
from Virginia, asking for 400 per cent
increase on peanuts.
"All the Florida representatives in
Congress asking for an increased duty
on pineapples, citrons and long staple
cotton.
"The Democratic delegation from
Texas saying: 'You may take the tar
iff off everything but hides.'
"Representative Saunders of Vir
ginia, asking for an increased duty
on certain grades of tobacco.
"Both Senators from Virginia ask
ing for an increased duty on extract
of quebaclio wood.
"Every Ixtuisiana Congressman
clamoring for a tariff on sugar and
opposing reduction."
It is known to all who keep them
tional importance that the Democratic
party is not sincere in the attitude
which it is maintaining, for partisan
effect, toward the Republican policy
of protection; but there are many who
do not keep themselves informed, and
such exposition as that made by Rep
resentative Slemp should be frequent,
for their Instruction.
The Republican party holds to the
contention that all American indus
selves informed about matters of na
trles, and Indirectly the labor which
they eniploy, should have the benefit
of such protection of tariff as is prop
er and reasonable.
The Democratic party shouts in pub
lic for tariff reduction, and then its
representatives in the Congress, work
ing in committee rooms and otherwise
out of sight of the public, seek to se
cure protection as a special benefit
for sectional Interests.
"New Tariff Breaks Record," is the
headline In many papers this week.
Customs receipts during the last year
amounted to $327,900,000, which was
more than J 17,000,000 in excess of the
previous year under the Dlngley act.
As Usual.
As usual the Democrats will talk
tariff— as usual, they will tell the peo
ple In their speeches und literature
that protection is robbing the people,
but they will not be able to convince
the farmer or the laboring man that
he should change the prosperity of to
day for the adversity of 1893-96. Thv
ptople realize Just what a Democratic
house of representatives would mean
Thej realize that even though no de
structive legislation could get through
the next congress, nevertheless there
would be anxiety In all financial and
business circles, and such anxiety
would bring curtailment of production
and affect both employment and
wag. Marlon (Va.l News.

Time to Pause and Reflect.
Kvery Uepubllran should consider
Hist the Democratic party cannot wl«
this yenr through any merits of Its
own perform* dor proteased IVmo
cratic victory If It comes, will come
not because <>f Democratic strength
but )e cause of Republican division
and consequent wankne-i Is It worth
while to l« aru over attain the costly
les-uiis of the past for the sake of a
grudge or * disagreement that even
though honest uu i sincere may well
be laid aside and taken up after elec
lluii ?
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1910.
ISSUE IS CLEARLY DEFINED
Protection to American Workers or
the Competition of the World's
Cheap Labor.
Congressman Champ Clark, the
Democratic leader In the House of
Representatives, said in 1897 (and he
has never repudiated the utterance):
"1 am a free trader, and proudly
take my stand with Sir Robert Feel,
Richard Cobden, John Bright and
Henry George. ♦ * • If j had my way
today, sir, I would tear them (custom
houses) all down, frem turret to
foundation stone."
Congressman Underwood, of Ala
bama, who hopes for Democratic vic
tory that will make him chairman of
the great committee on ways and
means and give him the opportunity
to shape a new tariff policy for the
country, says:
"I believe in a tariff for revenue."
Congressman Henry of Texas, an
other prominent Democrat, said In a
speech In the House at the last ses
sion;
"The protective tariff in every form
should be odious to all true Democrats.
* * * Democracy proclaims to the
country, 'Batter down the tariff walls
and Invite the competition of the
world.' » * * The fight will goon
until we return to the revenue system
advocated by Democracy."
These expressions of Democratic
opinion could be mutliplied indefinite
ly. Here and there cau be found
Democratic advocacy of protection to
some local industry but It is always
coupled with the demand for free
trade for the other feliovvs. On tho
other hand Republicans are a unit in
supporting the principle of protection.
Only by the success of the Republican
party can that principle be maintained.
Protection to American labor is Re
publican policy now as it always has
been. Workingmen will hardly sub
scribe to the Democratic tenet of
tearing down the custom houses from
turret to foundation stone, inviting
the competition of the world's cheap
labor and returning to the revenue
system advocated by Democracy, and
farmers will not take kindly to the
Democratic promise, thus to injure the
market for everything which the farm
er has to sell.
The President and Congress.
Speaking at the New York State
Fair on September 17th, former Presi
dent Roosevelt said:
"The president of the United States,
Mr. Taft, has served his country hon
orably and uprightly In many posi
tions —as judge, as governor of the
Philippines, as secretary of war, and
now as president—for to him and the
congress acting with lilm we owe the
creation of a tariff commission, the
adoption of maximum and minimum
tariff law treaties with foreign pow
ers, the proper treatment of the
Philippines under the tariff, the in
crease in the efficiency of the Inter
state commerce law, the beginning of
a national legislative program provid
ing for the exercise of the taxing
power in connection with corpora
tions doing an Interstate business, a
postal savings bank bill, the consti
tution of a commission to report a
remedy for overcapitalization in con
nection with the issue of stocks and
bonds."
It's a good record worthy of the
commendation. No congressional
record surpasses it for accomplish
ment of useful and progressive re
sults. There Is one way and only one
way to make certain the continuance
of legislation for the public good and
that is to return a Republican major
ity to the next house of representa
tives.
Party Will Unite for Principle.
Republicans have been doing some
I lively scrapping among themselves and
no mistake, but now that nominations
ai-e made and the question is the su
premacy of Republican principles as
against Democratic victory which
i would he the certain result of Repub
! llcan division, there will be just as
1 lively getting together, and the party
will present a solid front to the enemy
on election day. The Democratic hope
of success Is based only on Republican
dissension. The free trnde party de
clares no policy except Its opposition
i to the Republican policy of protection,
promises nothing except what amounts
to a threat against the prosperity of
the whole nation, and Is boastful and
hopeful only when It discerns signs of
Republican disaffection
Republicans Are Willing.
Of course, the Democrats have to
blame It all on the tariff, and If they
are Intending to make ihls the l*sue In
1 the next catupalgi. they will find the
' Republicans perfectly ready and will
ing to meet tbein on that line For
some years they have deemed It pru
dent to make their appeal to the p««o
--ple on other grounds. If they now
I proi to combat .he protective prln
clpie and to resume advocating a tar

ONE OF THE "OLD GUARD"
One of the surprises of the recent primary
election in Michigan was the defeat of Julius Cae
sar Burrows for renomination to the United,
A States senate. Senator Burrows has been a long
a time in politics and was one of the "old guard,"
J being associated with Aldricli, Hale and the Sena
tor Allison in running the upper branch of con
vj grees. He entered congress in 1873 and has been
a lnenl^er °' the senate since 1895.
t HPW ■ \ il Senator Burrows was born in Brie county,
| y'|W(l f* 3 -- ' n 1837. He went west at an early age and
t'mkr JfL road law while living in the western reserve of
7 iW.WVs.Mt Ohio. In his early twenties he removed to Kaia-
J) C-'y ma zoo and has since been a resident of Michigan.
He has practised little at the bar, having been in f
f twvflwc politics ever since he returned home from two
years of service in the civil war, with the First
Michigan regiment. It is recalled by the old inhabitants of Kalamazoo that
Mr. Burrows made a successful prosecuting attorney in the two years he held
the office immediately after the war.
As his reputation as a debater and speechmaker grew, Mr. Burrows
gained political power, and at the close of his term as prosecuting attorney
was appointed supervisor of internal revenue' for Michigan and Wisconsin,
but declined the office. In 1873 the opportunity came that he wanted in the
form of his first nomination to congress.
In the house of representatives Mr. Burrows rose slowly. He was not a
leader and he was not given membership in the most important committees
until late in his career, but he early attained a reputation for being an excel
lent parliamentarian and good presiding officer.
As a senator Mr. Burrows has been conspicuous chiefly as an opponent
to Reed Smoot, the Utah senator accused of Mormonism, and as an opponent
to tariff changes that were said to ba against the interest of the Michigan
beet sugar growers. Senator Burrows was temporary chairman of the Re
publican National convention at Chicago and delivered the keynote speech of
the campaign which followed and which placed President Taft in the White
House. The defeat of Burrows by the insurgents is thus an event of na
tional importance.
Senator Burrows is chairman of the senate committee appointed to inves
tigate the charges against Senator Lorimer.
'BUTCHER' WRITES A BOOK
_ With an unpardonable lack of tact or a sinis
ter sense of humor Gen. Valeriano Weyler has al
lowed the publisher to print the title of his sen
» sational book "Mi Mando in Cuba" ("My Com
n mand in Cuba") in letters of gory scarlet on a
j H paper 'cover of livid gray.
Whatever the motive may have been that
prompted such a choice, that bloody "eye catcher"
M\ ] of a line fitly symbolizes the man and his work.
112 J&jku il Weyler las been on trial before public opinion
f° r butchering his enemies instead of fighting
them; and he flaunts in our faces the ugly stains
/$». that show where he wiped off his knife.
wfj/v,,.. Captain general of the most fertile province
Spain tand a province which more than once
manifested her intention to throw off the Bour
bon yoke), he makes such a case against the
country that buys his services as no citizen of the United States could have
ever made to justify America's attitude in the Cuban mix-up.
Weyler was the best hated man in Cuba when the government of this
nation finally recalled him. This book will cause him to be cursed the length
and breadth of the peninsula.
I wrote it, he says,"to give all the facts about my conduct as general
in-chief, a conduct admired not only by army officers, high and low, who wrote
me innumerable letters, but by privates, who, ou their return to the penin
sula, spoke of me with a enthusiastic fervor for which I can never thank
them enough. Various reasons prevented me from doing years ago (when
I could not have freed my mind from a certain bias) a work which I can
now do in perfect peace of mind, thanks to the time that has passed, and
which has soothed the Irritation due lo the injustice I suffered at the hands
of some men.
"Furthermore, I did not wish to sadden Senor Sagasta by retelling the
story of our colonial disasters; neither did I feel any pleasure in censuring
the illustrious General Martinez Campos, my predecessor in Cuba, however
uncharitably he acted toward me after his return to the capital.''
A perusal of the book falls to prove that Weyler kept his promise to
treat the subject with perfect moderation.
A POPULAR ENGLISH PRIEST~~
MOne of the best known priests in attendance
at the Eucharistle congress at Montreal was Rev.
Father Bernard Vaughan of England,
whose denunciation of the smart set has deeply
stirred the world's metropolis. Everybody In
London loves and honors Father Vaughan, yet he
Is the pulpit scourge of the town. He preaches
truths that terrify, yet an hour before he speaks
the seats In the church are jammed and crowds
line the walls.
He is as well known on the continent as In
Great Britain, and although he has become ultra
famous because of his lecturing and speaking,
still be finds time to devote many hours a day to
mlsist rat ions among the poor.
At the Montreal conference Father Vaughan
created a sensation bj his denunciation of race
sulcidde. "We are living In a day,"he said, "of headlines, snapshots, taxieubs
anil music halls; in a day when tne scramble for the prizes of life has become
a mud passion. It Is a day of fever, fr«*t and fume. Competition for earthen
toys is mj keen and the margin of profit In commerce has become so fine
that the one cr> beating through the air Is 'hurry up.' We are living In a
day whfii the -high ideals of old are fast yielding to the pressure of creature
comforts, when principle Is being exchanged for expediency; In a day when
the Christian sense of sin Is being regarded as a bygone superstition; in a
day when It matters not what you believe, but only what you do. and when
you muy do what you like, provided you are not found out; In a day when
the relations between thu sexes take one back to pagan times; in a day when
there is no empty place but In a cradle, uot room In which to move but In
the churches."
Father Vaughan is a brother of the late Cardinal Vaughan of England,
and Is sixty-three years old.
