PARKER'S ATTITUDE
THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH.
He Would Strike Down Protection,
Cripple the Navy, Decimate the
Army and Undo All That Has Been
Accomplished by the Republican
Party.

In his speech Of acceptance Judge
Parker accepts the Democratic plat
form as admirable" He approves Of
it in detail and as whole. If elected
he will carry 1t out. OF course, he
will; he must. He will be the servant,
not the master, of his party. And
rightly so. Presidents are elected to
carry out party doctrine, not to antag-
onize it. Grover Cleveland tried to
boss things in 1894, and he came to
grief. He refused to attach his sigma
ture to the Democratic tariff law OF
1894, but he lacked the nerve to veto
it. He simply held his nose during
the interval necessary to enable the
bill to become law without his con-
currence. Judge Parker is not an
other Cleveland. He will not attempt
to boss or to fight his party, as Cleve-
land did. He is not built that way.
He will be with his party in all things.
The st. Louis platform, which would
strike down protection, would cripple
the navy, would decimate the army,
would cut adrift seven millions OF
Filipinos totally incapable of self
government, and would in a general
way undertake to turn back the
wheels of progress and undo all that
the Republican party has done toward
making our country the greatest on
earth-all this the Democratic candi-
date accepts as admirable" Regard
ing the chief issue of the campaign
he says:
The present tariff law is unjust in
its operation, excessive in many of
its rates and so framed in particular
instances as to exact inordinate profits
from the people. So well understood
has this view become that many prom
inent members of the Republican
party, and at least two of its State
conventions, have dared to voice the
general sentiment on that subject.
That party seems, however, to be col
lectively able to harmonic only upon
a plank that admits that revision may

ing and consent to give at least some
measure of relief to the people"
Out of this mass of the vapid. the
evasive, the trimming and the hedging
qualities Of expression it is possible to
extract some differences and deduc'
tions that are reasonably clear and
positive:
The present tariff is excessive, I'M
just and luxurious. 1t should be re,
pealed without delay, and in its place
should co:lo either tariff Of the Will
son-Gorran type, of the Mills type, or
the Morrison type.
The Eepublican party shows no in
clination to NEEDLE with the tariff at
present, and still less to strip the tar
if of its protective features. There
fore, the task of tariff making should
be taken out of the hands Of the Re-
publican party and intrusted to the
Democratic party.
If intrusted with the responsibility
of tariff making the Democratic party
promises to be reasonable. 1t will not
rip up everything all at once. 1t will
go about it gradually, so that the pro-
ducing interests may have ample time
to discharge their workpeople and re-
duce the volume of production to cor
respond with the increased inflow of
competitive products from abroad. In
this way it is hoped to avoid the i'm
mediate advent of panic, paralysis,
stagnation and ruin. These, it is cal
culated, will come less swiftly than
they did in 1893
But, in any event, says the Esopus
trimmer, not much mischief could be
done by a Democratic President and
House of Representative until the
present Republican majority in the
Senate shall have disappeared. This
would take two years at the least; it
might take three or four years to
bring about. In the meantime, says
the candidate, the country would be
safe.
Astonishing admission! Certainty
and safety lie only in the Republican
control of the Senate. 1--WE would like
to do whole lot Of mischief, and we
will do it as soon as we can, but we
can't do it for two or three years.
Therefore, elect Democratic rresi-
dent this year" That, in substance, is
the attitude of Parker on the tariff
question. We are invited to SOW the
seed of free trade in November of
1904, on the assurance that full free
trade crop cannot be harvested much
before 1906 or 1907.

Man and Wife,

Buxton, N. OAK, Sept. IL Especially.
Mr.. b. l.. Skrivseth Of this place
has been added to the steadily grow
ing following that Dodd's Kidney
Pills have in this part of the country.
Mr.. Skrivseth gives two reasons
for his faith in the Great American
Kidney Cure. The first is that they
cured his wife and the second is that
they cured himself.
81 must say" says Mr.. Skrivseth,
that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the
best remedy for Kidney Trouble
ever knew. My wife had Kidney Dis
ease for years and she tried all kinds
of medicine from doctors but it did
not help her any. An advertisement
led her to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
The first box helped her so much
that she took eight boxes more and
now she is cured.
Il also took three boxes myself
and they made me feel better and
stronger in every way"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet
failed to cure any kidney disease
from Backache to Rheumatism, Dia-
betes or Brights Disease.

1t may be, however, that we should
not have to wait so long as that for
the free trade crop. Events of the
past year or two distinctly suggest the
possibility that with a Democratic
House and a Democratic President,
having patronage to distribute, tar
if reduction bill and genuine reci-
procity" bill could be passed by the
aid of votes in the Senate that are
now classed as Republican. Things
no stranger than this have happened,
and may happen again.
Summed up in the light of all the
facts and all the evidence, the accept
ance speech Of Judge Parker contains
not one solitary reason why any Re-
publican should take the risk of voting
the Democratic ticket this year. On
the contrary, all the facts, all the evil
dence, all the common sense of the
situation, should impel every Repub-
lican to vote the Republican ticket,
and many Democrats besides. There
never was a time when the country
was in greater danger of lapse back
ward to free trade than in the cam
paign of 1904. That is the actual
truth.

Democratic Imbecilities.

We do not wonder that the wise
men of the Democratic party are be-
coming disguised with the quarrels,
feuds and acrimonious disputes that
have been threatening the harmony
and, therefore, the efficiency of the
organization. II is hardly necessary
to say that the Democracy cannot win
without New York and 1t is equally OBJ
vious that, If the local bosses-Mur-
ply and McCarren-persist in exploit
ing their respective animosities at this
particular time. the Republican cleo
tions will be nothing more or less
than a Republican procession. What
the American people see and, without
much difficulty, understand, is that
the Democracy can hardly be in a po-
sition to govern the country until II
is able to- govern itself. And II that
consummation has been achieved up
to latest accounts the fact is still
secret for the outside world.-Wash-
ington Post.

The Vacant Lot.

Caleb Strong was cross old BACH
elor who lived in house that had the
ent of the light and air that came
over an adjoining vacant corner lot,
which he, in his extreme selfishness,
desired might remain vacant.
1t was with extreme regret that he
learned that man from an adjoin-
ing city had come to town to look at
the vacant lot, with view of buy
ing it and building house on it.
Mr.. Strong at once made the ac-
quaintance of seven noisy children
who lived in the heighborhood. Then
he kept a sharp lookout for the
stranger. When he saw him coming
up the street he hurriedly invited the
seven children to play in his front
yard and told them to play as much
as they pleased.
They at once took him at his word,
and rushed into some games that ap-
parently required the full strength of
their voices.
The stranger approached, looked at
the vacant lot, then at the children,
and then at the house he supposed
they lived in. He turned on his heel,
walked away, and never appeared in
the neighborhood again.

from time to time be necessary, but
| it is so phrased that it is expected to
be satisfactory to those in favor of
an increase of duty, to those who
! favor a reduction thereof and to those
opposed to any change whatever.
Judged by the record of perform
ance, rather than that of promise, on
the part of that party in the past, 1t
would seem as if the outcome, in the
event of its success, would be to graf
ify the latter class. With absolute
control of both the legislative and ex-
ecutive departments Of the govern
ment since March 4, 1897, there has
been neither reduction nor an attempt
at reduction in tariff duties. 1t is not
unreasonable to assume, in the light
of that record, that a future Congress
of that party will not undertake re-
vision of the tariff downward in the
event that it shall receive an indorse-
ment of it's past course on that sub
iect by the people. 1t is a fact and
should be frankly conceded that
though our party be successful in the
coming contest we cannot hope to Sc
cure a majority in the Senate during
the next four years, and hence we
shall be unable to secure any modifi-
cation in the tariff save that to which
the Republican majority in the Senate
may consent. While, therefore, we
are unable to give assurances of re-
lief to the people from such excessive
duties as burden them, 1t is due to
them that we state our position to
be in favor of reasonable reduction
of the tariff; we believe that it is de-
manded by the best interests of both
manufacturer and consumer, and that
a wise and beneficent revision of the
tariff can be accomplished as soon as
both branches of Congress and an ex-
ecutive in favor of 1t are elected with
out creating that sense Of uncertainty
and instability that has on other occa-
sions manifested itself. This can be
achieved by providing that such a rea-
sonsble period shall intervene be-
tween the date Of the enactment OF
the statute making a revision and the
date Of its enforcement as shall be
deemed sufficient for the industry or
business affected by such revision to
adjust itself to the changes and new
conditions imposed. So confident am
| in the belief that the demand of the
people for a reform Of the tariff is
