trs. The government has no right to Use
the taxing power for any purpose save
and alone for the purpose OF raising
revenue. When employed for any other
purpose whatsoever It becomes wicked
md a dangerous usurpatiotl
II IA not contended by Democrats that
the tariff ought to be abolished alto
rather and the nation put upon an a'l,-i
solute free trade basis. 1T has always
be en- the policy of our government to levy
a tax upon imports for the sake OF rais-
Ing revenue, and American manufacturers
ate welcome to any benefit over foreign
cor1potltors which they may receive from
d purely revenue tariff. But that IS ra l tEl.
cally different form levyng q tariff Tor
the distinct purpose Of protecting Amerl-
can manufacturers from foreign compe-
3tition, and we all do know to our sorrow
how the Republicans have thus employed
this tariff for the enrichment of a favored
class at tho expense Of consumers. INC
whole scheme was exposed BY Demo-
Gratis In the campaign Of 1899. the peo-
pie were shown by every day illustrations
that under the Mckinley tariff they were
made to pay an enormous tax, only part
Of which went into the public treasury,
tho greater part going into tho treasury
Of private corporations. The people were
made to understand that while the gov
crnmcnt received the revenues from the
tax on foreign articles imported into tho
United States, manufacturers were thus
cnan1ed to put their prices as much high-
er than the price Of imported articles rs
the tariff tax amounted to. In other
words, American manufacturers wero
own products and American consumers
had to pay It,
There was great Indignation through
out the United States when this scheme
was exposed, and in spite Of President
IIarrison's business like plea to let we'll
enough alone, in spite Of his 'stand-pat''
argument, the Republicans were defeat
ed and tho Democratic ticket was elected
by handsome majority. The Republi-
cans are again in power. and again they
have high tariff In operation and the
PEOPLE are paying the tax, and II tho
Democrats will come forward as they
did In 1892 for a tariff for revenue only,
we believe that they will win as great
q victory this year as they did IN 1892
But II would be a distinct step back
ward and n disgraceful departure from
democratic principles and recognition
of the Republican principle of protection
for the National Convention to adopt any
such spurious doctrine as that contained
in the California platform.
