An important part Of this program,
which is only now coming to light
and naturally is causing some pertur.
baton among the Republican leaders,
has to do with the outlook for tariff
revision. Everyone who has INSIDE
information and the franlness to use
it knows that the Republican platform
made at Chicago was intended to indi-

This intention was TO be used in the
west to satisfy the consumers who
have been demanding tariff reform
At the same time it was to be used
in the east and among manufacturers
generally as an argument in favor Of
the perpetuation of Republican domi-

The Republicans were preparing to
say to those who are interested in the
various schedules: Now which 10

your friends or by your enemies2"
On the strength of this il was be
lioved an old fashioned tariff campaign
might be waged, with enthusiasm and
campaign subscriptions from the man
centers greatly aiding the
Republican cause.
But now come the Democrats With
what they hope will work as check

rivals. Former Senator Davis was de-

of the tariff reform Wilson bill which
so displeased Mr.. Cleveland and all
the other Democrats who wanted to
take real step forward towards
tariff for revenue only.
II remains to be seen how much
influence Mr.. Davis may be able to
exert among the protected manufact-

to make them believe they have moth

to what degree he may be able to in

to fall back on the beneficiaries Of the
Dingley law for the much needed cam

Davis was put on the ticket for by
Judge Parker and his managers. and
