The Roanoke convention has invited

This is risht and proper. as The Times

We do not pretend to say that the lax

these lynchings, Tor in one notable case
recently the victim Of the mob had al
ready been legally condemned to die and
sentence had just been pronounced upon
him by the court when the mob took him
out and murdered him. But there can be
no question that the laws delay and the
technicaiities through which criminals
escape are in part responsible for that
spirit OF lawlessness which has swept
over this country OF late. The people are
supreme. Laws are enacted for pur-

the criticisms that have been made
upon his course hy those who persist
III assuming that their individual views
on the tarn question are necessarily
the views of the party at large.
The truth of the business IS that the
tariff question has been Variousy treat
Cd by the Democratic party as "a matter
of principle and as "a matter of policy.
Great latitude OF opinion on this sub
tect has been allowed in the party since
its foundation. I'm some Of iis platforms

Others 10 has declared against protection.

protection was unconstitutional. I'm

enue." and that SIS tho present doctrine
Of the Atlanta Constitution.
They are coming around 20 it When
Tnlman butel out the fact tho other
day I'm the Senate. THAT the word con-
ly' was purposcly omitted from The tar
in plank OF the Ch.caso platform. some
Of the silver Democrats were shocked
al the disclosure. Others however. are
taking 1t more compaccntly and the
Constitution now tells us that is Demo
cratic tariff doctrine
But what have tho tariff roformors Of
Virginia To- say ON that scorc2 Are they
willing 20 accept tho Constitutions mier-
probation OF tho Chicago platform? We
SHAH know when We hear from thcm 40
the Roanoke convention.
Another point. The Constitution naiyo-
" says that the temperate party has
changed front ON the tArig question time
and again. and that therefore great DATE
studc of opinion IS allowed on this sub-
Sect 20 members of the party.
In short. 10 matters very little what
sort OF views pcmoerat has on the
subject Of tariff Eut when 10 comes to
eilycr it is quite different matter. Tar
ir counts for NOTHING. 10 is an economic
question. but free silver is great Dem
= ocratic principle. no man can De a
Democrat who does not believe On free
coinage. Free coinage is the true test
OF Democracy. according to the Const-
tution.
