Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1884-08-26

The Houston convention announced
Its support OF the national Demo.
cratic platform and the tariff plank
in that platform. What that
plank IL, every one knows-or more
accurately, no one knows. 1t
has been claimed, however, as
semi-protective affair, and has
this appearance to large de-
gree. II Is not, in any sense, a rev.
enue.reform tariff, and its Endorsement
by the state convention at Houston
puts the party In this state in the at
titude of a straddler. The Fort Worth
platform, so far as IL dealt with the
tariff matter, was explicit. 1t said:
mo duty should be imposed upon i'm
ports except to raise revenue necessary
to the maintenance OF an economi cal
and efficient government and the
payment OF the public debt. And no
discrimination should be made in the
imposition of duties for the purpose
of protecting any industry. A tariff
for protection Is unconstitutional, un-
just and in conflict with the genius
and spirit OF free government" Now,
which Of these represents the Demo-
cratic party of Texas?
The Fort Worth platform was an eN-
preston of the feeling of Texas Demo.
Gratis without regard to expediency.
1t was an honest and candid assertion
of Democratic principles, end not a
Delphic oracle to be interpreted as
the bias of the voter inclined him to
view it. Therefore, IL must stand as
representing the Democrats of Texas
on the tariff question. The indorse-
ment of the national convention was a
perfunctory performance in accordance
with party usage, but 1t does not
change the opinion of the people of
Texas, as expressed at Fort Worth in
June.
