democratic party declares the protective
tariff unconstitutional. or whether II de-
fnands tariff reform or tariff revision, its
real object is Away destructive of the pro-
tective system However specious the
| name, the purpose Is ever the same. A
democratic tariff has always been fol-
lowed by business adversely, republican
tariff by business prosperity. To repub-
lican congress and a republican president
this great question can be safely cntrust-
ed. When tho only free trade country
among the great nations agitates re-
turn to protection the chief protective
country should not falter in maintain
ing it.
We have extended widely our foreign
markets and we believe in the adoption of
all practical methods for their further ex-
tension. including commercial reciprocity,
wherever reciprocal arrangements can be
effected consistent with the principles Of
protection. and without injury to Ameri-
can agriculture, American labor or any
American industry
The platform pledges the maintenance
OF the gold standard, favors the encour-
agement and unbuilding of an American
merchant marine. maintenance of a navy
powerful enough to defend against any
attack. approves the attitude of Roosevelt
and congress regarding exclusion of Chi
nesc labor. renews the former declaration
that the civil service law shall be thor
oughly and honestly enforced, believes in
ample provision for soldiers and sailors
and liberal administration of the pension
laws. favors settlement of Internal diff
ferences by arbitration. commends the Wig
orous efforts of the administration to pro-
tect American citizens in foreign lands,
commends the policy pursued by McKin-
ley and Roosevelt in regard to our inter-
ests and growing commerce in the orient
favcrs such congressional action as shall
determine whether. by discrimination, tho
elective franchise i'm the United States
has been unconstitutionally limited. and
IF so demands that representation in con-
gress and the electoral college be proper

Combinations of capital and labor when
formed for lawful purposes are alike en-
Titled 10 protection of tho laws, but nci-
Their can be permitted to break them.
The untiirlely death of Mckinley is

Tho remainder Of the platform is de-
voted 10 Endorsement of Roosevelts adj
minstraton, which is pronounced thor
ough. vigorous honorable. highmndcd
and patriotic, and is commended without
reservation to the ccnsidcrate Judgment
of the American people.

We met these unhappy conditions

has surpassed the imagination.
Under the pinglcy tariff labor has
been fully employed, wages have risen,
and all industries have revived and
prospered.

NEW YORK. April 6.-The fact that

Of Charles Dickens works was the
chief cause Of bankruptcy proceedings
being instituted against Emil Scherr, a
manufacturer of silk ribbons in Phila-

consisted OF 100 Of these Il 600 volumes.
Mr. scherr has accounts in this city
against which an attachment was re-
ceived by the sheriff to the amount of

The attachment is in favor of George
d. Sproul and is for the balance Of a
claim on a contract made between
them on July l. 1909. for Mr. Scherr to
purchase set No of books of the St.
Dunstan Illuminated edition of the
complete works OF Charles Dickens,
and also to purchase set Of st. Dun
