Democrats Not Free Traders.

This idea of class legislation, which
hnds its supporters in the Republican
paNy today, is exemplified in the Re-
publican's view of the tariff question. on
this issue he consistently maintains that
a tarin law enacted with a view of pro-
tecting American industries from for
eisn competition is a law which, though
primarily enacted for the benefit of the
wealthy or manufacturing class still has

producer directly shares in the protection
given to the beneficiary named in the
law; in that he, the man whose business
IS directly protected, must in turn pass
along to his employees their just proper

party is the party whose followers refuse

DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING AT Drill ensI

Democrats gathered at the drillshed
Saturday night for the second mass meet
ing OF the party in Honolulu. There was
some enthusiasm over the utterances of
the speakers. By actual count there
We're present in the shed 162 persons, of
which number twenty-six were we'll

On the stage when the meeting opened
were seated DIR. McGrew, chairman of

Secretary Hart afterward appeared. Dr..

That for this purpose and for the pur-

the expression seriously in deroeatIon of
the patriotism of any men, is but to dis
play ones own colossal ignorance and
stupidity. tariff is a tax in some
form or other, levied by the general gov
ernment. and is in truth an absolutely

believing, then, that a tax of this kind

cratic party holds that such tax, when
In excess of the honestly and economical
~ administered needs of government. is
an unrighteous imposition upon the gov
erned. We censure a tariff which pro-
tects any industry beyond the incidental
protection afforded by tariff for reye-
nue. only The Democratic party holds
that the present tariff law of the Repub-
lican party, passed under the misleading
plea of protection to home industry
proves itself a prolific breeder of trusts
ana monopoles, enormously enriching
the few at the expense of the many; that
the beneficent effect of natural competi-
ton is destroyed by these trust aggrega-
tons, which have been nurtured under
Republican rule; that they not only domi-
nate the legislation of our country but
arbitrarily Tx the price of staples to the
consuming public, and when the laborer

protecuonist. asks his protected employ

that labor and wages are subject to the
law OF competition, and that such law

Other Issues at stake.

But there are other large questions be-
sides tariff and money, now squarely di-
yidlng the two parties, which can be ben
officially and r.ghtfully settled in this
campaign. The subject of trusts and
monopo!ies is one such question. and On
it the Democratic party demands a
striCter control on the part of the Federal
Government of these new and Interesting
y powerful factors of commerce. We
demand the enlargement of the Inter
State Commerce Commission and such
restriction and guarantees in the control
of railroads as VIII protect the people
from robbery and oppression"
On the subject of so-called Imperial
ism the Democratic party pronounces
against the policy of the Republican par
ty that declares for the extension of
United States territory to lands far re-
moved from the confines of the North
party challenges the wisdom of such a
course, and declares it to be foreign to
the idea of republican form of govern
ment as laid down by our forefathers, and
a policy, If entered upon, fraught with
grave danger to our national existence
and clearly conducive to international
turmoil and strife We believe that in
the annexation of Hawaii a great and
lasting benefit has come to the people of
these Islands, and though such annexa-
ton did not meet with the favor of some
of the great leaders of the Democratic
party, because il seemed at the time to
be an unnecessary and dangerous viola
ton of time-honored precedents still now
that annexation is an accomplished fact.
the Democratic party gives to the new
Territory of Hawaii the right hand of

frage, and at this time, Irrespective of
race or color, its voice is raised In pro-
test against any policy which shall DENY

citizen. He says: ,;FtY
''The man who does not pay his poll

will have his name published in his
county paper as IA delinquent, as a
man who refuses to contribute 50 tt
the education OF his children, but is
willing for his neighbor to do so, and
let them reap an education by the
sweat of the other fellows face. More
over, he will be DISTINGUISHED. and
cannot vote at the polls, and will run
a risk of a 5000 fine and six months in
jail II he hereafter attempts to vote in
a primary, for the taxpayers are tired
