!TH-AT TARIFF PLANK. The Watterson-Yilas Spat at Democratic Convention and the THE BEN BUTLER VOTE OP 1884 'Borne of the Inwardness in the Light of Very Recent History. GREAT TEAE FOR CYCLONES AND HENRI rWTUTTEN TOR THE DISPATCH. The wordy wrangle at the Democratic Na tional Convention between Vilas and "Wat terson, touching the "inwardness" of the famous tarifi plank in the Democratic Na tional platiorm ot 1884, was, unfortunately or the public, dropped at the point where it was becoming Tery interesting. But the "outcropping" was sufficient to emphasize the differences that have existed forlo! these many years between the aggressive tariff reform element in the party repre sented by Watterson and the timid vote catching element represented in a mild de gree by the gentleman from "Wisconsin. Watterson, above most men, hates political lhauis, and despises half way, "small beer" politics; has always insisted that the Demo crats won when they openly proclaimed their principles and deserved to win, and lost when they paltered, and became "pol icy" men and deserved to lose. In every campaign the Democratic Party was charged by its opponents with being free traders, and while this was not exactly true, as no party in this country for obvious reasons can operate under tree trade conditions, vet the chi tiange was either dodged or faintly denied. Watterson Not a Coward. The brilliant Kentuckian now, as in the past, with the missionary zeal of a Peter the Hermit, has proclaimed that nothing was to be gained by cowardice or evasion that the Democratic party might as well have the game as the name, and instead of trying to fit National Democratic principles to Pennsvlvania conditions the party should practicaliv abandom States like Pennsyl vania to tne KoWber Barons," as he kindly calls the tarifi kings, and open recruiting offices in the "Wild and Wooly West," where the high tariff "idee" seemed to pinch some of the pet diversified industries ot that section. Hence the henceness of "Henri's" latest successful raid on the "policy" platform makers at Chicago. The drift of events on the Democratic side at present, mainly as a result of Watterson's labors, in vests the platform of 1881 with something more than passing interest, and as I was a critical "Looker on in Vienna," or rather in Chicago in 1884, when these platform makers were "building better than they knew," a few extracts trom my "note book" of that day man serve to show how lar Watterson was in advance of his time, how much his party has grown in the interim, and how much the aggressive personality of one man like Watterson has to do with the shaping and making of industrial policies, and principles of a party, and it may bsol nation wfth either the crippling or the up building of communities, and what Garfield so eloquently characterized as the "married calm of States." A Day for nomocracy to Kemembar. July 10, 1884, therefore, is an ever to be remembered dav for the Democratio party of the United State. On that day in the city ot Chicago, after one of the hottest convention committee oontests on record, the Tilden tariff plank was re-affirmed. Watterson was vindicated and Converse, Hay, Eandall, et ak, were, in the express- 7ive"phrase of the day, "turned down," to figure thereafter only as specimens ot the pre-hi6toric red sandstone era of the great party which then and there and in the great Presidental struggle following, won its fight on Watterson "lines." The sub-committee in the convention of '84 wrestled all night much as Jacob did "with the angel, not knon ing where .they; were coing to land. McPherson, ot New Jersey, was especially hot under the collar, and the voluble Benjamin If. Butler injected his volcanic utterances into the Watterson camp, but made no recruits. Butler was looked upon coldly, as it was generally understood that he would submit a minority report, and if it was not adopted the bull would smash all the china in the Bhop. Randall was sour on Converse for what he called his surrender, and in order to relieve himself from that imputation he moved as a substi tute the adoption of the "Ohio platform." The motion was lost by the emphatic vote of 30 to 6, and when the result was an nounced Frank Hurd remarked: "This is my vindication. I said at Columbus, 'I appeal from this convention to the National Convention of the party,' and this vote is their answ er to mv appeal. " Interest cen tered at the time more on the platform than the candidate, and Messrs. Carlisle, Hurd, Wheeler and Bookwalter discussed the pro ceedings in the ante-room of the hotel as the returns were doled out irom the com mittee room. Rook waiter's Free Trade Appeal. "I am here," said Bookwalter, "only for one purpose, and that is to aid in any way in my power those who are making a fight against the tariff I am a manufacturer, but I see that unless we have a change soon we are doomed to disaster and commercial distress. Only by a radical revision can we find a market for our products. Our ships have disappeared from the seas, while those of England enter every port. There is lit tle foreign demand for wheat, and railroads suffer. Instead of sending wheat we will send specie abroad. This disturbs business and can only have one end. The farmer will understand then that he is in direct competition not only with the pauper labor of Europe, but with the labor of India, where labor gets but 10 cents a day and where it is cheaper to buy labor than to buy plows or labor-saving machinery. In India labor is not worth saving. They send their surplus to Europe, and there the Am'erican farmer, handicapped by the tariff which enhances tne cost ot everything he buys, must meet this competition. The farmers, at a low estimate, pay S300,000,000 annually more than they ought for what thev consume, and this because of the tariff That is 6 per cent on 58,000,000,000. In other words, if the tarifi was abolished outright, the value of the agricultural lands in America would be increased to that ex tent. The thing for the Democrats to do is to plant themselves aright on this issue and appeal to the farmer of the West and the South." Mr. Wheeler, President of the New York Free Trade Club, said: "Yes, the thiug for the Democratic party to do is to put itself right on this issue and appeal to the manufacturers of New Eng land and New York and merchants every where. On this issue we will be certain of New York, reasonably certain of Connecti cut and Massachusetts and other Republican States doubtful" Meantime the Platform Committee in an adjoining room were making li' story rather rapidly. After the Ohio platform was beaten the St. Louis platform was offered and voted down by a vote of 31 to 5 as not sufficiently specific. Then the final rally came. In the closing clause the Revenue Iteformers wanted it declared that "all taxation must be exclusively for pub lic purposes." Malcolm Hav. of PennRvlvnniA. mnrpd to strike out tne word "exclusively." He said, with much snap: "It was this word now changed to 'exclusively' which in 1880 lost us the Presidental election. It is so emphatic and direct that it will lose us the doubtful States. It will cost us the votes of capitalists and laboring men. It fright ens voters ard disturbs business and arrays against us the conservatism of the coun " try." ITattrroon for Forcinr the Fight. Watterson took the floor in reply: "The platform of 1880," said he, "is only an ex pression Qf the St. Louis convention tariff I plank of 1876, and on that platform we car ried the country. . In 1880 we failed because we were afraid of our platform. I assert with proof that the National Committee of 1880, by refusing to defend the platform, lost the battle. They declined to meet the Republican argument, and surrendered by giving orders that there should be no dis cussion on the tariff This is why the 1attle was lost, I know that Indiana was lost because ot this timidity on the part of the National Committee. "In only one dis trict in Indiana New Albany, where the glass works ofthe Dupaws are located we made the tariff an issue, discussed it openly and fairly and gained votes in October and increased gains in November. This, too, in spite of the fact that the Dupaws, who had been Democrats, gave their support to the enemy." General Butler replied to Mr. Watterson, contending that the gains in New Albany were due to the fact that all Louisville crossed the river to vote. Mr. Mengies, of Indiana, followed and insisted that when the Democrats had the courage of their convictions and put up men who have clear ideas and whose elec tion would meau something, they will win. Butler again took the floor, contending that "exclusively" meant putting all other objects except revenue beyond the taxing power of the Government. It meant reve nue only in its strictest sense, and the com mittee must understand if th ey adopt it they must be prepared to defend it. The I'rotectionista Completely Kouted. The committee accepted this interpreta tion, and on this the vote was taken. To Btrike out "exclusively" was defeated 18 to 16 Hewitt and Younians absent. Phelps, of Missouri, voted with the "protection" side, and in three hours "500 telegrams from St Louis declared that he did not represent Missouri. Tne Revenue tetormers were naturally jubilant. Their victory was em phatic and undeniable, as Converse, Hay and Randall had been beaten at every point. During all this white beat discussion the committee had been without a chairman. On the first vote there was a tie between Morri son and Converse 18 to 18 and Malcolm Hav, the Temporary Chairman, was con tinued. After the platform was formulated it was agreed that a chairman in harmony with it should be selected. The protection ists urged that this would be a reflection on Mr. Hay. Clunie, of California, and made a blazing address against the election of Mor rison. It was not to be, and Morrison was chosen unanimously, thus completing the rout, "horse, foot and dragoons," of the pro tectionists. At the night session an immense audience filled Exposition Hall. The windows and roof were crowded. As soon as the conven tion came to order a resolution eulogizing Tilden was passed amid immense cheering. Barnuni was elected Chairman of the Na tional Committee. New York was pouting about something, as usual. Vilas was made a member of the National Committee, and Perry, of Arkansas, attempted, by resolu tion, to have the two-thirds rule abrogated. It uas beaten overwhelmingly and nearly unanimously. At last the Committee on Resolutions appeared. Both sides in the con vention seemed to be satisfied they had gained a victory. Morrison, who is not a' "golden-monthed"reader,handed the report of the committee to the secretary to read. During the reading you could have heard a pin drop. The Revenue Reform part of the platform got most ot the cheers. At its conclusion Mr. Morrison said he would al low General Butler 30 minutes to make a minority report, give five minutes to Con verse and ten minutes to Watterson, and would then move the previous question. Butler Made a Good Point. Butler asked the Secretary to read his re port It was a very ingenious document and was considered mainly a vote-catching plea, meaning nothing, only to "get there, Eli." Ben made a good point when he stated that if it took the able gentlemen on the committee 36 hours to frame a tariff plank, how long would it take the laboring men to understand it? He said there was no more difference between tne platforms of '76 and '80 than the platform ot to-night One said "exclusively lor revenue" and the other said '"revenue only." "Now, gentle men," he said, "what js the difference?" A laugh followed, and the doughty General stepped down and out Converse pleaded for harmony with a big H, and was loudly applauded. Watterson was enthusiastically received. -The Demo crats know a Democrat when they see him. He said the revenue plank was sound and clear, and all good Democrats could stand upon it He made several hits at Butler, and concluding said, "There had been more diflereuces in the past among Democrats about the tarifi than there ever would be again." Mr. Morrison then moved the previous question, and on the call of States the plat form was adopted bv a nearly unanimous vote. It was a red-letter day for Watter son and the Democratic party, and marked the beginning of a political revolution that found its full expression at the Chicago Convention last week in the nomination of a candidate to fit the platform, if not a plat form in himself. How Watterson Won Out. On the morning of July 11, 1884, Watter son, Hurd, Hay and others met in front of the Palmer House. "Henri" was in ex cellent humor. He said: "If anybody can see any protection in that platform he de serves a chromo." Hay Then the protection in the plat form does not protect? Watterson No, sir. I refer yon to the text "Revenue shall be exclusively for public purposes." That is clear. Bookwalter Why didn't you adopt the "revenue only" plank? Watterson I'll tell you. The committee had an idea it was objectionable, and I had to tickle them with au equivalent Butler gave the thing away. He was the only man whosaw through it. Then the old growler went over to his chair and told the com mittee what the word "exclusively" meant Then the row began, which I was afraid would result in killing the resolution, but it didn't We had a close call, however, and it was only passed by 20 to 18. The platform does not mean free trade, and I am sure it does not mean pro tection," Taking one thing with another When the hurlv burly's done, When the battle's lost or won, this is a great year for cyclones and for Henry Watterson.
