PLANS OF THE DEMOCRATS.
Free Trade to BE Reached By Gradual
Reductions of the Tariff.

Free Trade to BE Reached by Gradual
Reductions of the Tariff.
Ex-Gov. Russell of Massachusetts,
has an article in the May Forum on
"A Year of Democratic Administers
ton" He asserts therein that after
years of discussion and elaboration the
country in 1892 repudiated protection,
and then proceeds to answer the ques.
ton why democratic congress has not
carried out the will of the people-why
"your tariff bill does not come up to
your tariff platform" His reply is:
NO, the platform set the goal which the
party believed the country would eventually
reach II did not undertake to say that tie
best way to reach the goal Is by one EXHAUSTIVE.

icy The bill is not radical nor wholly
logical But it is dealing with policy whict
for THIRTY years has ruled the country and has
encouraged many men and interests 10 believe
they we're dependent upon IT, The funda
mental fact is that the Wilson bill changes ar
established policy Henceforth high protec
pealcd and ended. and the country gradually Is
10 be brought back TO the principles OF tariff
taxation for revenue only
This means that If the democrats re.
main in power for number of years
they will signalize every two or four
year period by cutting off more protec
ton and taking another step towards
free trade. Every one of those tariff
bill years will be marked by the fea
lures which have made last year and
this so unpleasantly conspicuous. When
the democrats announce they are about
to reduce protection some more en-
ployers will have to drop wages again,
and there will be repetition of the
present industrial strife.
Even if the democrats were absolute
~ sure their lease of power was to be a
long one, 70 would be better for them
to reach the goal by one exhaustive
effort''--to cut off the dogs tail at once
rather than to be keeping the indus
tries OF the country in a turmoil by
tariff-tinkering for a series of years.
But since the democrats are not sure of
their ability to hold on to power they
ought, if they are sure their tariff prin-
ciple Is a sound one, to put it in full
force at once, in the hope that if they
did not continue to control all branches
of the government they might at least
retain possession of one, and thus pre-.
vent the reversal of their policy.
1t is certain that the bad opinion
which the voters lave of democracy
now will not be Ians, ny Gov. Rus
sells declarati6 A that the democratic
party is going 10 move gradually" in
the direction of tariff reform. They
have had already more tariff reform
than they want and they do not banker
after any more The SLOW parch of the
democracy towards free tra,se will come
to full stop on the 4th of next March.
for then the present house of repre-
sentatives will come to an end and the
one to be elected this fall will be con-
trolled by the republicans. There will
be no more anti-protection legislation
