THE Z4RZF.F II Lea DING
ISSUE

Ex- Mayor and ex-Congressman
Hewitt, of New York, has recently
given out his views on the tariff.
Mr.. Hewitt believes that the tariff
will be the foremost issue before
the American people at the next
presidential election. II is not at
all improbable that the tariff ques
The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1901-06-01
try may exist half Republic and
half empire win be pleased TO read
the following from the dissenting
opinion of Justice Harlan:

the following from the dissenting
opinion Of Justice Harlan:
eff the principles now announced should
ever receive the sanction Of a majority of
this court, the result will be radical and
mischievous change in our system of govern
ment. We will in that event pass from the
era of constitutional liberty, guarded and
protected by q written Constitution, into an
era of legislative absolution, in respect Of
many rights that are dear to all peoples
who love freedom.
''ln my opinion Congress has no existence
and can exercise no authority outside of the
Con stitution. The idea that this country
may acquire territories anywhere upon the
earth by conquest or treaty and hold them
as mere colonies provinces is wholly in
consistent with the spirit and genius we'll
as with the words of the Constitution. 1t
will be an evil day for American liberty if
the theory of government outside of the
supreme law of the land finds lodgmen,
in our constitutional jurisprudence.
'The addition ofPorto Rico to the ter
| ritory of the United States had been recog-
nized by direct action on the part of Con
gress. 1t has legislated in recognition OF
the treaty with Spain. If Porto Rico did
not by such action become part of the
United States it did become at least when
Congress passed the Foraker act. canno,
believe that Congress may impose any duty,
| impost excise with respect to that terri
| tory and its people which is not consisten,
with the constitutional requirement that all
duties, impost and excuses shall be uniform
throughout the United States.''

So far, wherever oil has been
found it is of a superior quality than
the Beaumont article. But we be-

there are more gushers at Beaumont

ton will be forced to the front. In
fact il appears to be receiving
large share of public attention at
the present time aud the independ-
ent thinkers of the Democratic and
Republican parties agree that the
time is approaching when high
protective duty will no longer be
tolerated by the masses of con-
sumers who are, IN the end, made to
pay for the protection" The old
cry about the pauper labor of
Europe aud the tender solicitude of
the politicians for infant industries
wiIl.hardly be permitted to bam-
boozle the voters. Pauper labor
has ceased to be bugaboo and
the infant industries have grown to
such PROPORTIONS that Uncle Sam
can not be expected to continue to
perform the duties of industrial
wetnurse.
The most enthusiastic free
silverite recognizes the futility of
fighting another national campaign
on that issue. 1t was believed prior
to the last election that Imperialism
was the thing to win with. but the
results were not Of a character to-
encourage the men who interpreted
the constitution to mean what it
says. If the last election decided
anything 1t is that the American
people are not afraid of imperialism
and are willing to have little of it
SO long as it helps to make
"beesniss. 1t is not in the nature
of the Yankee to let go a solid
chunk, of real estate, whether it is
on this or the other side of the
Pacific.
With the free-silver question out
of the way and Imperialism prac-
tically settled, Mr.. Hewitt is not
risking his reputation of prophet in
predicting that the tariff will fur
nish the issue for the next presiden-
tial campaign. The tariff question,
being one OF taxation, will always
be of vital interest to every voter.
Other issues may come and go;
parties may spring up from ePhem-
eral causes, but the great question
of equitable taxation was born with
the formation of this government
and 1t will disappear only with the
downfall of the Republic. From
the very beginning the Democratic
party has been right on this greatest
of all questions. If it has swerved
from it's duty at times it has been
the fault of time-servers and self
seekers.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
who is conceded to be one of the
brainiest men in the United States
Senate, is reported to have uttered
the following significant words
anent the tariff and The next Demo-
cratic platforms:
eff the platformmakers for our national
elections would say that the Democratic
party is opposed to all the abuses of the
power of taxation, because such abuses are
opposed to the ancient creed that demands
equal rights for all, with exclusive privileges
to none, and If the orators and writer's
would show up the many and terrible abuses
of the power of taxation that are inflicted
upon the people, the fact would at once aP-
pear that there are many more than enough
Democrats in the United States to elect 4
Democrat to the Presidency
There are many Democrats
throughout the country who agree
with the long-headed Albanian.
