Speaking of protection, the Re-
publican platform says
This trne American policy taxes

This is essentially falsehood. 10
taxes American consumers. Foreign
products have no money to pay due
ties. All tariff taxes, whether for
revenue or for protection, must be
paid by the importer, bus the tax is
added to the price and collected of
the consumer. The peculiarity OF
the protective duties is that they tax
the consumer, not only on what is
imported, but also on much larger
quantity of domestic goods, which
are raised in price By the tax on
similar articles imported. This is
true in oil cases where there is any
real foeeign competition. The cases

Will be noticed that the silver men lack
but sixteen votes Of having the neces-
sary two-thlrds 10 nominate. but they
cllam that eight votes counted for gold
In Ohio would come 10 them after the
temporary organization. while the
Michigan votes are also expected.
II VIII be further noticed that Ne
braska Is figured in the silver col
umn and this is because that while
there Is contest, the silver men say
they VIII see that the gold standard
men are not seated. II is security in
this prepOnderance OF votes that makes
the silver leaders confident OF ultimate
victory.
Decisions upon the abrogation Of the
two-thlrds vote on nominations may
be delayed until after the temporary
and permanent organization and until
the convention is ready TO nominate.
Then. unless the gold standard men
will recognize the superiority Of num-
bers and succumb to the inevitable. the
silver men will force the issue and re-
sclnd the long standing rule.
The Alaska delegates are put down
in the silver column but they are un-
doubtedly for gold.

II viii be similar to the plan adopted
by the New York Democrats during

The plan is to have Senator Hill,

chusetis. and other well-kEown orators
discuss the situation with not only the

cussions. like the Hil and Cleveland
