BITTER FIGHT
ON THE TARIFF

falls far short Of the contamination for which
we have long labored. for which We have SUI.
fered defeat without disbursement; which in
its anticipation gave us a raliying cry in our
day OF triumph. and which in Its promise of
accomplishment is so interviewer with Democratic
pledges and Democratic success that our aban-
donment Of the cause or the principles upon
which 1t rests means party perndy and party
dlshonor.
One topic will be submitted to the confer
| enee which embodies Democratic principle SO
| directly that 1t cannot be compromised. We
have In Our platforms and In every way posi-
bic declared in favor Of the free importation
of raw materials. We have again and again
promised that this should be accorded to our
people and our manufacturers as soon as the
| Democratic party was invested with the power
to determine the tarin policy Of the country.
The party has that power. We are as
| certain to-day as we have ever been Of the
great benefit that would accrue to the country
from the Inauguration OF this policy. and moth
ing has occurred to release Us from our obliga-
ton to secure this advantage to our people. 1t
must be admitted that no tariff measure can
accord with Democratic principles and promises
or bear a genuine Democratic badge that does
| not provide for free raw materials.
In these circumstances II may we'll excite our
wonder that Democrats are willing to depart from
this the most Democratic OF all tariff principles.
and that the inconsistent absurdity of such pro-
posed departure should be emphasized by the sug-
gestion that the wool Of the farmer be put on the
free list and the protection Of tarih taxation be
placed around the iron ore and coal OF corpora
lions and capitalists How can we face the peo-
pie after INDUCING In such outrageous discrimina-
| lions and violations Of principle?
1t is quite apparent that this question OF free
raw materials does not admit Of adjustment on
| any middle ground. since their subsection to any
| rate OF tariff taxation. great or small. is alike
| violative OF Democratic principle and Democratic
| good faith.
| hope that you will not consider 1t intrusive
| II say something in relation to another subject
which hardly fail to be troublesome to the
conference. l refer to the adjustment Of tarr
| taxation on sugar.

with our declared party purposes sugar Is a
