FOR TARIFP REVISION.

FOR TARIFP REVISION.
with democratic Presidentand
House Of Representatives our party
can and will take the vigorous I'M
tiative toward the prompt, effective
and just relief which the existing
industrial situation Of the county inn
peratively demand.
1T is pledged to this wise and
benificent policy.
1t will revise the tariff in a con-
sentative spirit of fairness 90 all in
terests.
It's anxious purpose will be TO
legislate with such q due regard for
the labor and capital involved in our
INDUSTRIAL enterprises Is to promote
their healthy growth and 70 guard
carefully agains: the infiiction OF in
jury upon established Industries by
abrupt, unjust and radical mea-
sures.
"Odious and powerful monopolieS
may expect reduction of the exces.
sive rates under which they have
been enabled to extort oppressive
tribute from the people.
THE illegal combination of trusts,
which within the last few years under
the republican tariff have grown SC
great and which in unlawful restraint
oflegitsmate trade have crushed hor.
est competition, must be stripped OIL
the power which they have so mer.
cilessly abused.
Appalled, by the decentralization
which republican expansion and ex
travagance have generated, the dem
Ocratic party may also be relied or
TO dedicate itself to the indispensa-
BILE task OF purifying the admins
tration from corruption.
1T will resolutely restore econo-
my, revive respect for law and en-.
force obedience from high and low
rich and poor alike.
PRESIDENTIAL DEsPoTIsM SHOULD BI
| REBUKED AND CONDEMNED.
Bearing i'm mind that one Of the
cardinal maxims Of our constitutions
system is that the legislative. execu
tive and judicial powers of govern
ment ought TO be forever separate
and distinct from each other, and thai
each Of these several departments
should be wholly free from inter
ference hy the others, we call pub
lie attention 10 the repeated and un
pardOnable dictaiic- of president
and Roosevelt TO both branches O
Congress.
We denounce his fragrant en-
eroacam ents upon their rightfu
powers and independence, and
while amazed at the subserviency o
q republican Senate and republi
can House of Representatives to his
orders and bold usurpation, we de
clare that his autocratic Invasion {
their freedom deserves and should
receive the indignant rebuke anC
condemnation of the people.
The platform concludes by H.
structing the delegates to vote as G
unit in the National Con vention and
pledges the Maryland Democracy Il
do its part toward electing a dem
ocratic President who will execute
wisely and well the functions of his
high Office with patriotic courage
distinguished ability and constant
obedience to the constitution and
laws and of democratic House oil
Representatives which, with modera
ton and justice, willfearlessly carry
out our pledges to the people. The
course of Senator German since his
return TO the Senate is warmly com
mended for its holiness and vi@or
in endeavoring to maintain the in.
dependence OF the Senate from un.
warranted Executive dictation, and
10 stem the tide of excessive expen-
ditures of our public revenues, and
Congressman Talbot and Denny
are praised for their vigilaat and
diligent efforts for their constituents
and their opposition to obnoxious
republican legislation.
