Referring to the populist view of the tariff he
said: 1--WE understand that the lev wing of tariff
duties Is tax upon the people, and we would
make the burden as light as possible The
populists believe in graduated income tax
and regard 1t as the most equitable system OF
taxation. The populists do not believe in pulling
down the rich but in raising up the poor We
system take IL that proressed tariff reformers
do not see how greatly their practice contrasts
with their theory they mean well but lack
courage Protection as taught by fathers

! industries. Only such industries as can be
made national, employing large numbers or
people, should be protected, and that only long

cases are better than cheaper duties"

other respects the present administration o
our government affords scant grounds for ius
criticism"
The senator spoke of the repeal OF the fedora
election law as u fulfllment of the party:
pledges and q triumph for the Just doctrine o
states rights, and indorsed the repeal or the
Sherman law Coming then TO the main ques
