MISREPRESENTATION OF THE DEM
OORATIO POSITION.

No democrat that we know OF at
vocates all indiscriminate reduction Oh
the tariff. Such Il proposition would
be ~ridiculously wrong. Yet democrats
are, recklessly, charged with holding
such views.
ANY and all reductions of the tariff
should be made judiciously, not indis-
criminately. For instance, take two
articles with customs duties laid upon
them by the Morrill, tariff twenty-five
years ago, and upon which the lax
remains practically unchanged. There
are many such. In the manufacture I
one of these, inventive genius, or DIS
~coveries in the raw material, or some
other cause, has reduced the cost OF
production seventy-ive per cent the
article that used to cost u dollar to
manufacture now costs but twenty-five
cents. In the mode of manufacturing
the other article there has been little
or no change. The cost remains nearly
as high as it was twenty-five years ago.
1t is evident that the tariff can especially
If specific, without injury to the home
manufacturer, be lowered much more
upon one OF these articles than upon
the other. This is one of many cases
which might be cited to show that dis
elimination and care should be used III
the reduction of tariff rates.
Democrats appreciate these consider
atoms, as is attested by Mr.. CLEVELAND
in his message, by the democratic plat
form upon which he was elected, ant
by the utterances of democratic news
papers aud statesmen, but that will no
prevent a certain class of republican,
from making the charge that they adj
vocate an in~discri1ninate reduction q
the tariff, any more than to abstain
from the false charge that the demo
cratic party is advocating free trade

who look to the western markets would
see at once the Importance of getting
as near their customers and Ms far
swsy from foreign aud eastern e0mpeti-
tors a. possible. Cheapening his
goods, the mapuiacturer would seek to
reconp himself by getting rid of the
long haul freight charge. Factories
aud mills working for the western
market would seek q location IT, The

and then returned 10 the Wesi, tbf
western farmer paying a long hauI
freight charge both ways. The west
would manufacture for itself. West
ern farmers would buy goods cheaper
and sell their produce higher, while
having the abolished transportation
charge, mill and factory operatives
could get cheaper meats and bread
