| ing regret at his inability to attend the
convention, said in part: 81 cannot in
this letter discuss the great issues now
/ presented for debate, but l venture to
call your attention to the significant ac-
| ton of the Chicago Convention on the
subject of the tariff. The majority re-
! port seemed to recognize that some re-
! gard might be had in tariff legislation of
| the interests of American workingmen:
| that in making tariff reductions injury
| to domestic Industries should be re-
! gardful of the labor and capital con-
nected Herewith. All these declarations
were stricken out by an overwhelming
| vote, and the resolutions adopted must be
construed to be an affirmative declara-
| ton that Democratic legislation on the
| tariff will be without thought Of the de-
structive effect upon American industries.
! This seems 10 me to constitute a declara-
ton more extreme and more destructive
than ever before promulgated by the
| Democratic party. The party may there
fore appeal with added confidence TO
American workingmen and American
! producers to sustain the policy ALWAYS
/ highly regardless of their interests
Among other communications were the
! following: From Whitelaw Reid, Thomas
G. Plat, Governor Mckinley, Secretary
| Tracy and j. S. Clarkson.
