The first section, first paragraph, of
the Democratic national platform re-
affirms the principles of the party as
formulated by Jefferson and exemplifcd
by the long and illustrious line of his
successors In Democratic leadership
from Madison to Cleveland And then
1t proceeds in It's tariff plank to repudiate
he card nal principles OF the great
statesmen whose names it invokeS. To
be honest the p'a'form should have de-
clarei: While we cherish the memory
and honor the success of the great Dem
ocrats, jefferson, Madison, and jackson,
to whose careers We point with pride, we
nevertheless deplore their steadfast ad-
vocacy Of protection to American labor
and industry, that pernicious and unjust
American system which We promise to
repeal as soon as We are intl U sted with
power
The Democratic tariff plank declaring
Internationally for the abolition of the
entire protective system Is o only in
principle and effect but in language
identically the frec-tra lie declaration OF
the Southern Confederaay. Van Buren,
had been beaten by William Henry
Harrison on a like platform in 1910, and
Polk, the true apostle Of Democratic
free trade, again brought defeat upon
his party In 1918. From 1910 TO 1892
the party has invented no new platform
except when hard times Under free trade
OF the Democratic kind or good times
under protection of the Republican kind
made it exped ent to Adopt a meaning
less platform and straddle the question.
This was done in 1876 and in 1884.
This year the Democratic party has
the courage CT the convictions derived
half a century ago from the slave oil
garchy of the South, which, employing
the cheapest slave labor in agricultural
pursuits. wished to buy the manufact-
ures of the cheapest pauper labor of
Europe. A protective tariff meant then,
rs it means now, diversified Industries,
high wages, and free labor. Whenever
the Democratic party has f~carlessly
enunc ated its faith in free trade it has
bIcn badly beaten at the POLLS. When
ever 1t has tvadedthe issue it has some
times su :ceeded. II has made victory
surcr for the Republicans In 1872 by de-
~clarirg its true faith, and Eepubl' cans
everywhere will welcome the ISSUE

THE Chicago Herald congratulates
the Democratic party on having taken
a position On the tariff question that
admits OF no misconception, misun-
derstanding, or Misrepresentation. 1t
is a platform, says the Herald, which
will make 1t forever impossible for
towards and dodgers in the Demo-
cratic party to abate n jot OF the
true faith, which Is tariff for revenue
only. 1t adds: "The man who be-
lieyes in incidental protection is as
much q protectionist as he who be-
lieves in protection for projections
sake. There can, in the nature of
things, be M real difference between
them. There is no halfway ground
on the subject OF the tariff. II pro-
lection is right in any respect, it is
right all along the line. The oppo-
nents Of extreme protection can find
no safe place to stand except on the
doctrine Of a tariff for revenue only"
There are tens of thousands OF Dem
ocrats in this country who believe in
reasonable protection for American
industries We call their attention
to this determined attempt to read
them out OF the Democratic party.
The platform adopted at Chicago does
not tolerate the slightest preference
In American legislation for American
industries over those OF foreign courr
tries.
