each successive phase OF the Hawaiian az

Its honest fearlessness among multitude
,of truckers. The Enquirer Is not the only
democratic journal that has dared to tell
the truth and the whole truth about the
policy OF infamy. from the very beginning
down To the present time. There are
plenty Of others that have spoken right
but, and have continued to speak out In
tones clearly audible above the entire
cuckoo chorus. How much more respecta-
BILE is the position OF these Democratic
newspapers. which have retained the GUS
tody OF their own opinions. than that Of
the overworked echoes. which have been
compelled to adapt ttIsir arguments and
their pretended convictions to each new
turn of the Administrations shifty and
eubterranean course!
We speak of the Cincinnati Enquirer in
particular. because IL seems to us that while

panied the main enterprise that Mr., CLRvE-

For whatY

For what did the country elect Demo-
cratic Congress and Democratic President
In 1899?
For one thing that has been fulfilled.
For the repeal of the Federal election laws
But that was not all. IL was not merely
the destruction OF those laws that induced
the majority OF the voters to vote for the
Democratic ticket. There was another
task to be discharged. The burden of Fed
eral taxation was to be lifted and shifted.
Equality and uniformity Of taxation were
TO be introduced. The system Of taxation
was TO be changed entirely. not merely
modified. For this great change the coun-
try voted. This change the country en-
pected from the coming into power Of the
Democratic party.
Has the Democratic party done anything
to bring about this changer Has the coun-
try got from the Democratic party fulfil
ment Of the promises which it exchanged
for votes
The promises Of a party must be OBJ
served They are likely TO be remembered
at least on one side, by the people.

The Alabama PopuIists,

The platform adopted by the combina-
Zion OF Populists and so-called Jef1ersonian
democrats that nominated the Hon. RET
BEN r. KoLB for Governor OF Alabama last
week. contains these interesting averments ::
we demand tarin for revenue. and that the rsve-
hus necessary to meet the expenses II the Govern
ansnt be rs,ed so far az possible. by tariff i'm
portatious and that this tarif he levied to pro
fsct the abersr In the mines the mills the shops and
pn the farms aud their products against the labor OF
foreign countries
we demand national graduated income tax on
salaries Or incomes IN excess OF reasonable expsndr
tures for the comforts and necessities otlifs."
Aprotective tariff for revenue ia somewh hat
OF Il msnomer, but IL certainly il an i'm
provement upon the protective tariff for
deficiency that has been approved by the
Democrats Of the House. IL Ia not a true
tari~ for revenue only. or anything like 1t /:
but tariff for protection with revenue. far
Burpasses "a tariff for protection with def
cheney. 4 graduated tax on incomes in ex-
cess Of reasonable expenditures is absurd
aud impossible from the point Of view OF a
genuine Jcffersonian Democracy: but 1t
seems less unreasonable and unjust than
tax upon the excess OF incomes above the
arbitrarily selected figure Of s.. 900 year.
Men who believe in a government. that has
the power to fix the limit of reasonable ex-
penditures to be made by its citizens for ne
cessities and comforts. cant be blamed for
believing In an income tax founded upon
such determination. 1t Is merely unfor-
tunate that some OF them should choose
name so glnringly inappropriate to their
political and economic ideas as the name OF
Jeffersonian Democracy.
1t Is right. however. that those Democrats
who have taken up Populistic and Repub-
lican principles. should emigrate into a
party Of their own and let tho regular
Democracy alone. These Aabamians will
stick to their platform presumably. II thny
send representatives to Washington. those
representatives will not be found voting for
free trade or a tariff for revenue only. but
for the kind OF tariff described by their
platform; nor will they desert the graduated
Income tax for national dog license tax or
an excise tax on milk or a protective tax on
red-headed men.
The trouble with the national Demo-
cratic party is that since the Democrats in
the House OF Representatives have thrown
over the platform. there is no telling what
their platform Is good for or how much dis
count must he made before we can reach
the truth OF it,
