The Reiectec Tariff PLANK.

The extraordinary action of the Chicago
convention in repudating the veneercd
tariff plank reported by the committee and
adopting instead an out and ont free trade
declaration was in intended to make this
question the great one of the campaign
and to announce the old ante bellun tree
trade doctrine of The South with greater
emphasis than at any time in thirty years.
The Democratic party is TO be Judged not
only by the tree trade doctrine il espoused
but by the protectioniSt principles it dis
owned 1t would not tolerate The idea of
the protection OF labor in any way. The
people must not lose sight OF the doctrines
which the convention rejected.
!. I'm making reduction of taxes il is
not proposed to injure any domestic indus
try but rather 10 promote their heal by
growth"
Honesty required that this should be
stricken our, and Tor once modern Dcmoc-
racy was honest. The old time-honorcd
doctrine OF free trade to which the Demo.
cratic party has now returned contemplate
ed low tariff in the interest OF Southern
cotton planters and foreign manufacturers
who were to be benefited to the extent and
degree that the labor and industries OF the
North were damaged. The object was to
transfer gains from one to the other. In
getting back to this doctrine it is honest
and candid in the Democracy to disavow
all pretense of tavoring.or sparins home m
QusulcS hence the convention refused 10
say it did not intend to injure American in
dustrics.
2. "From the foundation ofthis Govern
ment the taxes collected at the custom
house have been the chief source of FEEDER
al revenue. Such they must continue 10
be-"
The rejection of this proposition must
mean that the Democrats intend the repeal
Of all tariff taxes save possibly few Tor
revenue only. Contemplating system Of
scheme of putting all taxes on land. the
Democrats refused TO say that the system
OF tariff taxes on foreign goods is to be
maintained permanently even to procure
revenue. This action follows in line with
the course o Democratic Congressman in
printing Henry Georges single tax book IN
the Congressional Record and circulating it
at public expense as Democratic CAM
paign document. What will farmers and
landowners think of paying all the taxes
while stocks, bonds, etc go free?
8. Moreover, many industries have
come TO rely upon legislation for successful
continuance, 50 that any changes of law
must be at every step regardful Of the labor
and capital thus involved. The process OF
reform must be subject in the execution Of
this plain dictate OF Justice"
The rejection of this plank was very sig
nificant. In going back to the old ante
belum doctrine oftrce trade why should the
Southerners pledge themselves to spare
Northern interests or labor? What they
are after is to secure benefits for themsel-
YES at the expense of the North, and they
now have the courage to say so just as they
did before the war.
