TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY.

The Democrats. who have nothing to lose,
are now busy criticising the position Of the
Republican party OF the tariff question, in the
hope that an issue may be found for 1904.
The Democratic press is now filled with mis-.
representations concerning the administra-
tons policy upon the tariff question. and are
loud in their declarations tina, the principles
of protection are giving way before the adj.
vance Of free.tradc policies. A more false
statement, could no, he made. but Democracy
should be INDUCED to a limited ex,ent-it is
looking for all issue.
Another statement, equally as false, and
upon which Democratic insurgents hope to re-
ly for a campaign issue, is tina, the Republican
party has driftcd away from the time. honorcd
traditions of the past upon the tariff question
and is now ~evincing Il decided leaning toward
extensive reciprocity, and contend that this
policy is foreign to the principles of protec.
ion. Reciprocity is not an'agonis,ic to the
tariff protection policy of the administration.
and the charges to this effect are without
foundation. In the Republican Platform of
1890 the principle of reciprocity was stated in
unmistakablc language and the position Of
the Republican party was outlined in a man
ner absolutely plain. The platform said; I'VE
favor the associated policy OF reciprocity SO
directed a to open our markets on favorable
terms for what we do no, ourselves produce
in return for free iorcin mari cts" American
industries will not be sacrificed for the sake of
reciprocal trade relations with any other M.
ton.
Some Democratic editors have made the as
tonishing discovery that reciprocity means
free trade in the sense in which the term is
used In the Democratic platforms. No state
ment conld he farther from the truth, but the
terms used in Democratic platforms are sub.

BRYAN STICKS rO SILVER.
Two Defeats Have Not Changed tho
Pet Policy of the Cheap
Money Moses.

Mr.. Bryan has clearly manifested his
desire that the people of the United
States shall understand that he is not
willing to become party to any at
tempt to shelve the silver question.
Says he, in an article in his Comm oner:
"If the silver question is going o be
important again, why turn the party
over to the reorganizers and allow
them to aid the republicans in making
the silver dollar redeemable in gold?'
In the same article occurs this asser-
ton: "Mr. Bryan believes in the prin.
ciples set forth in the Kansas City
platform. and is not willing to surren-
der them in order to win the approval
of those who oppose those principles"
The article from which these eX-
cerpts are taken is criticism Of Sen
ator Vests proposed platform for the
democratic party, whose feature is the
omission of the silver plank Mr..
Bryan has made it plain that no plat
form without silver plank will have
his approval. "If the silver question Is
going to be important again" he
wrote, but the context proves that
there was not the doubt in his mind
which the eff would imply if it were
used in its exact sense. "Since." or
"as," would have better expressed Mr..
Bryan'S meaning. "Since the silver
questho is o be important again" was
the thought which he had in mind. II
is a thought that has never left him
since 1896. IT will be with him still in

THE FISHY DEMOCRACY.
LocaIizing Their state Platforms and
Steering Clear of National
Questions.

The boidness with which the demo-
cratic state conventions steer away
from national questions is marvellous.
Ii IS true that the Virginia democrats
declare rheir "unaf;erable opposition
to criminal trusts and to every Illegal
combination of capital" and the ncto-
pus will tremble in every tentacle at
that virtuous resolution. All parties
are safe in opposing unalterably Grim
inal and Illegal things. The real noble
strength of the Virginia platform lies
in such attirmations as this:
The Democratic party recognizes. as It
has ever done the great importance of the
fish and oyster industry of the state of vir-
gin!a.'

Gorman's Candidacy.

There is talk now that the demo-
Gratis may nominate German for
president in 1904. Nothing but the
fact that the democracy has often
been guilty of stupidity in the mat
ter of it's selections of candidates
would give this story any credence
among sensible persons. The chances
are overwhelmingly against the pre-
sumption that the democracy will
commit any such folly, but there is
nothing impossible about it. Cor
mans nomination would divest the
contest of 1904 of much interest, but
probably the business people of the
country would be glad to see a can
vass which would he so one-sded
that the result could be forescen from
the beginning without any possibil-
ity of doubt OF course the candi-
dacy of German would make ve.y
