TIE passage of the Mila bill in the
house Of representatives. on Saturday
places the democrats squarely on record
in favor of reducing the excessive war
taxes Their declaration of principles
have always been hostile to perpetua-
ton Of this unnecessary burden. but the
party has been unjustly charged with in
sincerity and evasion on this great question
by their political opponents. The failure
on previous occasions to fulfil their
promises. was due for want of majority
OF by treaChery of sD~Called democrats
The adoption Of the Mills bill, therefore,
while not being as pronounced as
many retormers would like, is still q
step in the right direction, and
places the democratic party in a bold
and aggressive attitude The Raudars
aud SuOwden's can no longer pose as
true representatives Of the party, and the
sooner they conform to the ideas of pro-
gressive democracy or elee join the
protective party, the better. Of
course the senate will not pass the
hill. The republican majority Is in favor
Of building up greater trusts and mOnop~
olies al the expense Of the people. But
their opposition will not deter the people
from expressing their wish at the polls
next November. The democratic party
stands as the exponent OF lower taxes
and Al enlarged commerce If the peo>
pie desire to be relieved from the present
burdensOme tariff let them elect demo-
crsts to congress democrats of the Mills
stripe

CHICAGO, July - At the S0ciaIistiC
town meeting yesterday afternoon,
Tommy Morgan introduced series of
resolutions, which were the subject of a
heated debate in which, as usual, ali sorts of
charges were banded about. The resolutions
declare in substance that there exists an If
reconciIahe and deadly antagonsm between
capitalistr and iabOring classes; that this an,
tagonism Is fostered by municipal, state and
national legislation that both the Democratic
and the Republican parties are the agents Of
the captallstic class, and that through then
such legi-latiOn is secured. The resolutions
which purport to be the declaratio of prir
ciples OF the local Socialistic Labor party
were finnlly adopted
