Democratic Tariff Revision.

How does the Democratic party pro-
pose to deal with the tariff? Does ii
say: "We assent to the principle OF
protection and ask the people of the
United States to commit to our hands
the revision of the tariff in conformity
with that principle?' Far from it. 1t
avows its unrelenting hostility to the
principle of protection and asks the
people to put in it's hands the revision
of the tariff in order that it may re-
wise protection out of it and repeat
the experiment of Grover Cleveland's
second administration. According to
Mr.. Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, that admin
istration put 100000 American work
ingmen to walking the streets and
without bread for their families. That
is the kind of tariff reform revision
the Democratic party proposes.

Not ON the Mourner's Bench.

fits for the times, every one Of them
Br'er Hill may shrek, gesticulate. get
red in the face and pound the rostrum;
Grandpa Davis may groan lugubrious-
ly, but all to no effect.
Prosperous, happy, content and
proud, the United States of America is
doing very we'll, and does not care to
change its policy just now.
Looking back upon the past eight
years, the people see nothing in the
conduct of national affairs to be sorry
for. They do see much to be thank
full for. President Roosevelt for three
years has guided the nation along
pleasant paths, and all it asks is to
have him continued at it's head for
four years more. There's luck in odd
numbersr'
No mourner's bench for us, Br'er

Wis!

TARIFF AND MONEY
If One Standard Is Established, Why Not
the Other?

Why should not the protective tariff
policy be as firmly and irrevocably
established" as the Democratic party
and its candidate for the presidency
comedies the gold standard to be?
The gold standard was advocated by
the Republican party, and on this issue
the country went Republican by an
overwhelming majority. The question
of tariff or free trade, and tariff reform
and revision, has been the issue in sew
eral national campaigns, and the peo-
pie by their votes decided finally that
the protective tariff principle should
prevail and that this country should be
recognized as favoring and supporting
protection and not free trade. The
Democratic party was placed in power
and given the opportunity Of demon
strating the fallacy Of it's free trade or
tariff for revenue-only policy, and the
result was so disastrous that the peo-
pie gladly returned to protection at the
first opportunity, and refused to Elk

1AC icy dllOlG NY COuSIeSS uAlLS tie
gold standard was in accordance with
the demand of the people, as expressed
by their votes. They, the people, have
just as firmly expressed their prefer
ence for protection. Neither currency
nor tariff legislation is SO firmly enact
ed that the laws could not be changed
by congress if the people demanded
their revision, and the only reason that
the Democratic party is attempting to
make the tariff an issue in this cam
paign is that they hope the people have
forgotten their sad experience under
the Wilson-Gorman Democratic tariff
bill. After the votes are counted in
November, the Democrats will find
that the people who by their votes rule
this country consider the protective
policy as we'll as the gold standard
firmly and irrevocably established as
cardinal principles.

Nobody Scared.

Parker says if he is elected he will
cut off the old soldiers age disability
pension by revoking order IS. But the
old soldiers don't seem to be the least
bit scared!
Parker says he is in favor of pro-
ceeding with due diligence" in con
structing the Panama canal, but he
thinks the Roosevelt way was source
of regret to many" But Roosevelt is
not troubled.
And Parker says that the manage
ment of our foreign affairs has sex
cited serious apprehension in some
quarters. But the American people
are not among the apprehensive.
Then, Parker is in bad way about
imperialism" but the citizens of the
United States only smile when they
hear that word.
Also, Parker is distressed over the
poor Filipinos, but the Filipinos con-
tinue to learn to read, write and
cypher, while they live on three meals
a day and talk American"

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Republicans Alone Deserve Credit for In
augurating the Service.

When Democrats assert that their
party is the father" of rural tree de-
livery, they willfully misstate the facts.
1t is charity to call their assertion a
plain falsehood, for it is a deliberate
lie, uttered with the intention to de-
ceive many persons. Rural free deliv-
cry had it's origin under the Harrison
administration, and Postmaster Cen
eral Wanamaker was its father" lie
proposed and established the first ex-
perimental route. When the Demo
Gratis came into power, under President
Cleveland. they did everything posi-
bic to kill rural free delivery; in
fact, they absolutely refused to expend
any Of the $4,000 congressional appro-
priation for its nourishment, and both
POstmasterS General Bissell and Will
son, in their annual reports, did their
utmost to discredit it, President Cleve-
land also threw cold water ON it in a
hostile message to congress. When Nc
Kinley became president, rural free de-
livery was pushed to the front as a Re
publican policy. This policy has been
continued under President Roosevelt
until now there are about 27,50O routes
in operation. No farmer need be de
ceived by Democracy's false claims,
for the record shows that to Republic
ans alone belong the credit of inau-
gurating and fostering a mail service
that is Of incalculable benefit to rural
communities.

Cleveland Says Democracy Has Now Re-
turned to Sanity.


Bryanites seem justified in declining
to affiliate with the Parker Cleveland
party. While Mr.. Cleveland is not the
Democratic candidate, he is the great
est gun in the party. What he says is
a sure indication of the sentiments of
eastern Democrats-andt they are now
firmly in the saddle. Mr.. Cleveland
solemnly rejoices over the defeat of
Organism at st. Louis. When asked
by a correspondent what he thought
of Judge Parker's gold telegram and
the action of the convention following
it's receipt, Mr.. Cleveland rose slowly
and, after brief silence. said:
'The party's action speaks for itself
1t has returned to sanity and future
progress along the right lines now is
assured. Yes, it speaks for itself. The
welfare of the Democratic party is
close to my heart, and it is once more
upon the right road.'

Why Does Parker Object?

The Democratic presidential candi-
date says, in substance, that President
Roosevelt advocates violent methods
of diplomacy; that is, he has departed
from the old style, believes in a
straightforward expression of exact
ly what the attitude of this nation is,
and does not hesitate to say that this
nation is quite prepared to take care of
itself.
Well, what would you have? Are
we not great nation, practically COW
ering with our Canadian brothers, a
great continent and quite prepared,
not merely to suggest but to assist in
the affairs of the world! And is it
not duty?
Why does ex-Judge Parker, David
Bennett Hills ex-political manager,
object to this?
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1904-10-15

From his chosen seat among the
catacombs Carl Schurz has dictated a
15,0OOword letter damning Theodore
Roosevelt for the egotism of his per-
sonality. This is the fifth presidential
campaign in which Mr.. Schurz has as
sailed Republican candidates from the
unscalable heights of his own colossal
egotism. Other men now and then
have a suspicion that all the rest of
mankind differing from them may be
right. Carl Schurz is never troubled
by any such weak mistrust in his own
Omniscience.

Democratic Contraction.

Contra ctionist would be a better
name than Democratfor the party that
favors anti-eXpansion. FavoriEg free
silver, which meant the contraction of
money and its purchasing power; the
ha uling down Of the stars and stripes
in Hawaii, the Philippines and other &C.
quired territory is contraction Of ter
ritory; advocating curtailment of ap-
preparations by congress means, if car
ried out, the contraction of rural free
mail delivery, and of all other Internal
works and improvements. The re-
vision of the tariff as favored by the
Democratic platform means contrac-
ton of the demand for labor, contrac-
ton of money in circulation, contrac-
ton of our bank accounts, contraction
Of values, and contraction Of our belts
to make our stomachs fit the con-
tracted supply Of foodstuffs which ex-
perience has taught we must get along
