nave ever been, of the great benefit that
would accrue To The country from the
inauguration of this policy, and nothing
has occurred to release us from our
obligation to secure this advantage to
our people. 1t must be admitted that
no tariff measure a accord with dem
Ocratlc principles and promises, or bear
a genuine democratic badge, that does
not provide for free raw materials.
In these circumstances il may well
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
n proposed departure should he emplia-
sized by the suggestion that the wool of
the farmer he put on the free list, and
the protection of tariff taxation he
placed around the iron ore and coal of
corporations and capitalists. How can
we face the people after indulging in
such outrageous determinations and
violations of principle? 1t is quite
apparent that this question of free raw
materials does q admit of any adjust
ment on any middle ground. since their
subsection To any rate of tariff taxation,
great or small, is alike violatiyc of
democratic principle and democratic
good faith.
l hope that you will not consider it
intrusive if | say something IN relation
To another subject which can hardly
fail to he troublesome Ia the conference.
