Is it right for the publisher of newspaper
TO wilfully deceive its readers Is it not a
gross immortality? The Reformer in its last
issue, in exact imitation of the New York
World, publishes at the head of its editorial
column what it evidently intends its readers
to understand is the tariff plank-pure and
simple-of the Democratic platform. There
is nothing to indicate that anything has been
omitted therefrom. 1t gives emphasis to
what purport to be its protective features by
liberal use of italic and both small and large
capital letters.
The manufacturers, operatives, farmers and
laboring men of New England believe in a
tariff that will afford them protection in their
business, as against the dangerous theory of
free trade-or, In other words, tariff for
TeDeRue ORly-which the Democratic party
would inhict upon the country had they the
power as evidenced by their efforts in the
last Congress and by their platforms of 1876
and 1880, and by that of 1884 when read in
its entirety and properly understood.
The Reformer has entirely omitted two very
important clauses of that one single tariff
plank, adopted in committee against the pro-
tests of few protectionists of the Randall
school of politics, and also in the convention
against the determined opposition of Gen.
Butler, who claimed to represent and speak
for more than one million workingmen of the
country.
The two clauses referred to read as follows
"AR TAXATION slOuld be limited 10 tie require
vents Of economical government" Ia there
any protection In that clause 1t is simply a
tdriB for Terenue oaly, and nothing else can
be made of It, Again; I'VE therefore de-
nounce the abuses of the existing tariff, and,

The Brooklyn, N. Y, Times, in It's issue Of
Aug /, says: Before the New York indie

22d, before this address, read by George viii
liam Curtis was prepared, Mr. Curtis know,
and the othor lenders in this movement know,

"Hore arc the names OF some Of tho men who in

This statement places Mr.. Curtis and the
other Independent leaders in very peculiar
position. Can It be that at the very time
whom they were setting Grover Cleveland up
before the country as model man for Presi-
dent and were asking tho nation to accept
him on tho sole issue of character, they were
aware of the facts in his career, and had be-
fore them the protest and entroaty of seven
Buffalo clergymen? II so, a very heavy re-
sponsibility rests upon them. One could feel
a very sincere respect for those man had they
boldly ropudiated both presidential candi-
dates, but now, when oil the facts begin to
come ont it looks very much as though some
thing besides devotion to high moral or po-
liticsl principle was at the bottom Of their or.

thrust at the Springfield Republican for its

Now let us see what this great conservator

since, and MIR. Seth Warner, over his own
signature, protested. He propoundod this
query

you only to inquire Of what possible service It DO

The case alluded to was simply a scandal
which did not effect the election Of a man to
a high office, which was based upon no high
or authority than could be glean,d by a re.
porter in search of sensation. What was

rs the Democratic Platform Free.
Trade MnnIfea4Ol

The Chicago Times discusses with its usual
ability the question whether the Democratic
platform is a declaration in favor of free trade
or in favor of protection. Citing the opin-
ions of Mr.. Frank Hurd, Mr.. Bookwalter, Mr..
Watterson, and Mr.. Sterling Morton of Ne
braska, all consistent and incorporating
free traders, the Times shows that these gem
tlemen agree in thinking that the platform
utterly excludes protection. mr.. Watterson, "
says the Times, burst into laughter at the
thought Of the sharp trick he and the rest Of
the reformers played when they suggested the
use Of the word exclusively in place of the
obnoxious word only in the 1880 platform,
and the substitution of the words public pur-
poses in place of the word revenue The
new form of words means the same thing as
the old, but it is less Objectionable to the
Pennsylvania variety of Democrat it sounds
better, and it is we'll calculated to fool some
body"

you had tarif for revenue only, and it broke the
back Of the most gallant soldier In the country and
you lost and now you have got q tariff for public
purposes exclusively. What is the dihcrence7 En-
Think Il over"
Yes, let the voters think II over, and then
decide, il they can, whether II means protoo-
ton to them or FREQ trade to this oountry--or
is il a straddlei George William Curtis said
Of the Democratic party, it is "a party with
out single dehaite principle, party with
out any distinct national policy which II dares
TO present to the country BIr. Curtis was
right, and their tariff plank lie q cheat aud a
fraud. II 80, thon the people don't want it
any moro than II it we're an express declara-
tion for free trade. The intelligence Of the
country will trust no party that has not the
courage Of H. convictions.
i majority Of the platform committee In
the Democratic convention were against pro
lection and in favor Of free trade. Four-Afths
OF the Democrats in the last Congress voted
for the Morrison horizontal tariff bill. Mr..
Converse Dem of Ohio, who voted with the
Republicans, has just been defeated for q re-
nomination. and free-trader nominated as
his successor. Watterson, Prof. Perry and
other free traders declare that Mr.. Cleveland
is in full sympathy with their froe-trade ideas.
Newspapers may garblo the platform to suit
different localities, but tho fact romans the
same, that the Democratic party is in favor
of FREQ trade. Free trade means ruin to our
industries and poverty to the workingman.
1t means financial death.
Tho Republican party has "a distinct ma
tional policy which it daros to present to the
country" upon every vital question in which
the people have an interest. The Republican
platform has no uncertain sound Thor prin-
ciples are set forth 80 distinctly that che who

The Corporation Tax Law.

From the burlington Free Press.I
The corporation tax law has worked admi.
rably and has proved a very gratifying sue
cess. II there was any lingering doubt on
the subject, it will be dispelled by the annual
report of Hon. William II. Dubois, State
Treasurer, for the fiscal year ended July 3lst
last. His figures show that on that day there
was temporary loan outstanding of $50
310.37; cash on hand, SIS, 1896 deduct
from this taxes due in August and already
paid S2,2S2.45, leaving $l5, sG7Ol; and
subtracting this from the amount OF the
loan leaves S3l, 1896 as the deficiency for
the year. To meet this deficiency there are
taxes upon corporations for the first six
months of the year, accruing June Both, but
not payable until August. Practically, there
fore, the operation Of the law has not been
merely to pay tho states current expenses,
but to also leave large surplus. The only
litigation over the law is in relation to the re-
fusal of the Central Vermont railroad to pay
the first half-year's taxes on the Central d.
vision, the claim being that that division was
exempted from taxation by its charter. A
suit TO recover these taxes is now pending in
Washington county court. This suit, we be-
lieve, constitutes the only litigation, pending
or prospective, in relation TO the law.
