eve say, this doctrine of having tar
ifs to protect one interest to the neglect
of the rest is not democratic. Let all be
entitled to equal protection. Let us have
no tariffs to tar The people 10 fill the pock-
els Of The manufacturers. We say that
congress has no right to pass laws topro-
tcct one particular class, and that one
the smallest in the Union. They are to
provide for the general mejare, and not
for the particular welfare of this, or that
or any class. Age, Jan, 7, 1912
1--WE are accused by the Press, of en-
dorsing over the doctrine of the South,
that in laying tariff for revenue, con-
gress is prohibited from discriminating in
favor of domestic industry, and even JUS
tilying the attempt recently made to
thrust the manufacturers from congress,
by abolshing their committee.
We say, what we have said before,
that in laying tariff of revenue, con-
gress has no right to single ont one par
ticuiar branch Of industry, for favor and
protection.
When manufactures, or any other
branch of industry step into congress and
arrogantly demand, or furtively attempt
to obtain ercl,Sire pririIcges, we are in
favor Of thrustng them out, and pray,
where is the democrat who is not: f.
quail and eroct Justice 10 all, tacOrs and
crcluSire privileges 10 none, is the motto
of every true democrat, '-.iGe, january

"Now, we say you are going TO pro-
tcct 0nc class, protect another. Your
lordly manufacturer will talk all day i'll
most dolorous tones about the introduce
ton Of foreign woolIcns. He will tell you
that he can't compete with the importer
and he must be protected. Did you cv-
CT hear him talk about protecting the
wood-sawyer; Oh no! England may
send us ship loads of poor fellows who
will saw wood for siXpcncc cord, and
the home sawyer has no protection, and
can get none, although he may starve
for the want of employment, yet, whiggc-
ny says the manufactures mast be protect
ed, and the rest of community left to siarce,
In other, and palmer language-ihe rich
man Who has, or can command capital,
must be protected By he government in his
investments, bat the poor man who has
nOfhiag bm his Mbor, can hare no protcc-
tion!-.1gc, Jon %, l342.
WE ARE IN FAVOR OF A TAR
IFF FOR REVENUE, BUT NOT
FOR INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION,
and such we understand to be the views
Of the great democratic party. '-.igc,

eve have contended that we must
have Tariff, in the first place 'sulli-
Client only for the necessary expenses OF
the government, and we have most sol
EMMY and earnestly contcndcd that, that
Tariff "shall have DUE regard to the
particular interests of EVERY SEC
TlON of our country What we con-
lend against is, that Congress shall not
have an Undue regard to the interests
of PARTICULAR sections of the coun-
try and shall not so discriminate as to
benefit any particular class, as class,
separate from the common whole. We
are opposed to his protection but not to
true protection. "-.4ge, Wor. %, 1912.
We stand by these doctrines now
we shall stand by them forever. They
arc founded in reason and Justice.
