DAVIS ON THE TARIFF.
rs Senator He Wanted Coal Mimi g
Protected.

In tho light OF H. @. Daviss position regarding
the duty on COAL the position which he took about
eleven years ago has been recalled On Tuesday
September 49, 1885, Senator Davis. Of West Virginia
appeared before the Ways and Means COMMITTEES
then engaged IN framing the Wilson Tariff bill. for
the purpose of protesting against taking on the
duty on coal He was asked by Mr.. Reed II giving
coal protection did establish a privileged class
and his answer was as follows;
who oroiuce it. dig it and Bring It to the mar
ket, they are privileged class
Mr.. Reed then said. 81 want you to furnish an
argument to these people who opposing this
the ground that 1t is privileged class II you
be obliged to you"
Mr. Davis replied as followsi
The class of people who interested in It
who dig In the mines-perhaps make Is cents day
Such p psopan o. Of them IN my little Stats
may be called Privieged class ! 90 not know
Then Mr. Davis added referring to the peopI. of
Chairman Wilson's own district IN West Virginia:
Make wool free and you take from them their
bread"
Mr. Bynum then asked Mr.. paviA Does the duty
add that much to the price OF the coa!T where
upon Mr.. Davis replied:
coal IS sold itself at 50 50. and how could It be
added to the price Of coal? 1t Ii suggested that IS
per cent Is labor
When Mr.. Davis made the statement that the
duty on coal amounted to 20 per cent ad valorem,
while the range OF duties upon the dutiaole list
amounted to IS per cent, he added that the COM
nitee had better level II up and let the coal pro-
ducers come in with the remainder Of the list
In reply to the questions asked by Mr.. Payne,
IF the miners IN West Virginia and Maryland have
adequate protection IN the Is cents a ton. why
should not the raisers OF wool or the manufact-
urers of wool and every else havc protection
that would be sufficient to make up the difference
In labor conditions between this country and coun-
tries abroad7 Why should they not all be upon
the same planeT'' Mr.. Davis replied'
Certainly they should reason why they
should not The trouble is that coal Is below the
rest OF the list. and talk about taking more oil

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
PARKER MUST PRODUCE FACTS.
Else His Statements About Administration
Fall to the Ground.
To the Editor OF The Tr,hun.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: The recent utterances OF Mr. Parker are
on a plane lower than that to which any Demo-
cratic candidate for the Presidency has. to my
knowledge. ever descended. He has made broad
statements and serious general charges that are
either born of the densest ignorance or they are
the utterances Of a man who has lost all sense
or dignity and honor, and voices such sentiments
hoping that they will appeal to the malcontents
The writer has some doubts whether it Is pos
sible for Democrat seeking Office to possess in .
telligence and honor enough to analyze con-
scientiously and intellgently the conditions now
existing so it is only fair to throw over them
and their statements the mantle of charity.
would ask Judge Parker. or any of his sup
dent Roosevelt or Chairman Cortelyou has made
any compact or obtained any campaign funds
as result of that compact, from any so-called
trust or industry. Speak out gentlemen; give
lis the date. name. place and amount Ii you
can prove Il, then the name OF Roosevelt Is
entitled to be smirched but not until then. Gilt
tering generalities, broad statements, none or
which have to date been specifically stated seem
TO DO the sum and substance Of the Democratic
policy.
1t is crime to criticise candidate for lack
OF brains for his participation In political
schemes Of a questionable character whlch nave
been proved. but to attack the President OF the
United States as Judge Parker has Is crime
unless he produces facts.
1t is about time that the big stick was
put into the hands of some good man who could
not speak softly FRANK N. MERRILL.

SOME ELECTIONS that WERE STOLEN

TO the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: THE New-York World" to-day publishes
the statement of Charles 3. Murphy that the
elections of Roosevelt and Odell were stolen Be-
ware OF the man politician who does not wish
or who seeks 70 prevent honest elections.
Is II possible TO have such elections when lodging
houses are stuffed with fraudulent population at
these periods?
Not an honest vote should be lost. but every
voting swinder his nstigator and assistant should
he nnnfshed as an enemy TO the liberties OF the
people. regardless OF party spirit and enterprise
Laws should be made and enforced to prevent any
possibility OF such rascaiity.
