 Associated with the trust issue IS the
 old but ever living tariff question. why
 should the tariff continue to create anu shelter so many trusts? Many hepuo liC9nS cOnCpde that there IS gent hN'A
 for a revision of the tariff; but they must depend upon the Democratic party TOT it; the bosses of their own party Will nave none of it: will stand pat. NO honest
 industry, no honest man. need rear rom
 the revision. None but those whose ways are meanly selfish and whose purposes are upatriotic need oppose II.
 Who that loves the principles or the Declaration of Independence, the guar
 antees of the Constitution, the teachings of the fathers of the Democratic Party, can he content with the policy or the lack of policy of the Republican Party in the colonial empire enterprise? Every Dem ocrat who is such from principle must ao- hor the debasement of our proud stream of inferior races, and its equally sure oe- basement from pursuing the course or the empire In imposing upon the same ln- ferior beings alien rule, by the power or American arms and at the huge cost to the American people.
 And what manner of Democrat Is he who would not join his fellows in de- termined effort to stop the extravaganza and waste and corruption inseparable
 from continued Republican supremacy?
 Time and events will point out the man for us in 1904. What thoughtful man can doubt that he must be one who was | in the Democratic column in 96 and again | in 1900? This is not only justice but it is necessity IS well. Be assured the man Of | the hour will be found and meanwhile | let us strive to heal sores. not to tear open Old wounds. Let us lnVlte recTultS
 to join the party and not do anything
 in folly or bitterness to drive them from
 1t. Let us rally where the party flag 1 flies. Let us act charity rather than preach too much about it. Let us recog-
 nize human nature and respect instead of | quarreling with it. Let us learn we'll the | lessons of the past. that we may meet
 well the duties and responsibilities of the l present and the future Let him who did
 much before for the party and It's prtn-
 ciples strive to do more in the future,
 and let him who did nothing for his par | tvs cause in the days tf Gissension and | division, or who then did aught against his partys battle-scarred millions, spare | no honorable effort now or in the future l for his party's complete triumph Nothing
 will heal old sores Ike the balm of vic l tory won fighting together.
 May honest. earnest, untiring zeal fol
 success animate each and all who love the grand old party of the fathers anc
 us of their children: and may the sorrow.
 and the bitterness of the past vanish 1T
 the joys of a united effort for a gloriou.
 victory in a glorious cause; and with tn,
 great victory which such effort will giv,
 us may the Democracy entcr upon an
 other half century of glorious achieve
