Issues Are Made Up.

The issues of the campaign are prac-
tically made up Broadly speaking. the
party Of performance and construction
is confronted with the party of criti-
cism and obstruction. The various state
platforms presented by the Democrats
are alike in essential details. and their
one noticeable feature is that they do
not contain single proposition for con-
structive legislation upon any of the
subjects of national concern to which
public attention is now directed. 1t is
true that some of them still continue
to advocate the free coinage OF silver at
the ratio OF 16 to /. and that a few
others. barking back to a still more re-
mote era, have contained some illusions
to the necessity OF breaking down the
protective tariff system and instituting
free trade in some modified form. On
practically all other subjects save these
the Democratic platforms are confined
to criticism and denunciation OF Repub-
lican performances. or to meaningless
generalities.
Can anyone tell, from responsible
Democratic utterances. what the Dem
ocratic party really desires to have done
with the Philippine islands? Have any
two of the Democratic leaders, in pub
lie. agreed in any respect upon any de-
tail Of this subject7 Has the Demo-
cratic party ever brought forward any
serious project for dealing with the
trusts? OF general denunciations OF
trusts the Democratic platforms are
prolific; but OF serious suggestions for
actual legislation to deal with them,
what has been put forward on the Dem
ocratic side, save the general PROPOSE
ton for the complete wiping out Of the
protective tariff system? These DEM
ocratic logicians simply ignore the fact
that the largest. most aggressive and
most monopolistic Of the trusts are in
no sense benefciaries of the protective
tariff. and that the proposed Democratic
legislation would only affect them ad-
versely in the same manner which II
would affect adversely everybody else.
On any really vital interest Democracy
has nothing TO offer, does not know
where 1t stands. It presents to the coun-
try stump speech instead of policy.
