The Washington critic., 1888-06-22
THE TWO PLATFORMS.

The Democratic platform of 1884
declared that the Democratic party
is pledged TO revise the tariff in
spirit of fairness to all interests, but
in making reductions in taxes, it is
not proposed to injure any domestic
industries, but rather to promote their
healthy growth"
The Republican party the same
year, after alu% ling to the failure of
the DemocrSi9 party to reduce the
surplus, plesfF "a itself in its platform
''to correct Ne inequalities of the
tariff and to reduce the surplus, not
by the vicious and indiscriminate pro-
cess of horizontal reduction, but by
such methods as'will relieve the tax
payer without injuring the laborer or
the great productive interests of the
country."'
So far as mere assertion and declara
tion is concerned there was precious
little difference between these two
platforms.
The continual agitation of the ques-
ton during the last four years has
caused the two parties to drift apart so
that this year the tariff issue between
them is very sharply defined.
The Democrats hold out the Presi-
dents message as the official inter-
pretation of the platform Of 1884, and
emphasize their position by cordial
Endorsement of their representatives
in Congress and of the Mills bill.
On the other hand the Republicans,
emitting all reference to the tax
payer, whom in 1854 they would re-
lieve, approve the tariff as it is, de-
nounce the Mills bill-which leaves
the rate of duty at 40 per cent.-as
destructive to all interests, and sus-
tain their representatives in oppos-
ing it.
If there were no surplus our Re
publican friends would not advocate
any change at all in the revenue laws.
As it is, they are willing to reduce the
revenue by repeal of the tax on to-
bacco and spirits used in the arts and
mcchanics, by higher tariff designed
to keep out of the country articles
which may be produced here, and as
last resort, the abolition of the in
ternal revenue system.
There is no Disgusting, and there
certainly can be no dodging, this is.
sue. 1t is the most pronounced OF
any joined between the parties for al
least twenty years.
1t is between the present AZ pei
cent tariff on the one side and mod
crate reduction on the other.
No voter can plead ignorance Of the
situation even now, and before No
vember every avenue of information
will be open to him that seeketf
knowledge.
The verdict one way or the othel
is likely to be very decided, and il
will exert a very material influence
upon national politics for years t.
come.
The Washington critic., 1888-06-22

Our MORNING CoNTEPoRARY, in its
issue to-day, expresses the opinion
that "the protective system is all
wrong and it ought not to be main
tanned another day" This direct
statement was usual in the Post when
Democratic organ, but it seems out
of place in a strictly independent
newspaper which balances the scales
OF political justice equally between
Cleveland and Blaine, Mills and Nc
