conditions of your proposal. There ought TO
be some separate quality as mutually in a
Joint discussion. l fear you have overlooked

Mr. Hanna's party has but one set of prin-
ciples while Mr. Clarke's party has vast
assortment OF principles sounding the entire
eamut from doctrine to dogms-Democratc,
PopuIist Agrarian and Socialistic.
There is the tariff. How does Mr.. Clarke
stand on that issue? His party stands all
over IT, In New England it is for free raw
material and for protected finished products;
in Texas it is for projected raw materials
and for free finished products
Does M Clarke favor a tariff for revenue
only or a tariff for revenue with incidental
protection? Is he a German tariff Democrat or
a johnson no-tarfn Democrat? II he favors any
kind of a tariff let him debate with Mr..
Johnson who is an absolute free trader, and
would repeal every tariff and internal revenue
law and sell all the custom houses.
