SayOyard on COwherd.

%Savoysrd in the Brooklyn Eagle says
OF congressman Cowherd:
Mr.. Cowherd has been chosen TO
head the congressional campaign com
mittee Of the Democratic party. 1t is
a splendid tribute to so young a man
to consider him worthy to meet and
contend against the veteran Babcock
victor in five successive national cam
paigns. Indeed, it would have been
strange had he been defeated in a
single one of them. 1t was a united
party, splendidly disciplined, with IN
limited resources in the field against
a disrupted, demoralized, and broken
foe without a campaign fund and with
out consecutive resolution in any.
direction, and yet Mr.. Babcock was on
tent with a tolerably little victory in
1902. 1t is altogether likely that he
would be mighty well rejoiced with
even a smaller one in 1904.
This young man from Missouri is
now in an executive station. 1t will
prove the metal of which he is made.
If he should be victorious, if he should
command a campaign the fruit of
which shall be q Democratic majority
in Congress, he will be the second
man in Democratic Congressional
councils.
He is young, he is able, he is capable,
be is honest-he believes he has a
cause, He leads a party flushed with
the successes achieved by John Sharp
Williams in the session just concluded
and confident of victory in November.
He goes against a party, traditionally
aggressive, but now filled with that
shameful discretion that is no part of
valor.' A stand-pat party lives in the
past. The Democratic party regrets
the past and is ready to forget it ever
bad such a thing. Not only is It
fully sane, butt is united and conf
dent. 1t is likewise in fighting trim
aud very dangerous.

Mr.. BryaD's close friend, and a dele

Mr.. Towne was asked. s'No he will
not. Have you read the Nebraska
platform? Though it contains two or
three things l would not put in the
national platform, 1t Is a very good
one. Mr.. Bryan will be a potent force
at Sc Louis, and he will not insist on
q reafirmation Of the past platforms.
His sole concern is to see the party
faced the right way and take an hon
est and sincere attitude. II it does
that, although it may not do all he
might ask, he will be content
"Here is a magnificent array of
issues-just the platform l would
write at St. Louis, with a little elAbora-
ton; The gross inequalities Of the
Dingley tariff, the criminal trusts, the
imperiallstic tendencies Of the Repub.
llcan party, the wanton extravagance

administration, the burden OF the new
milItarism-these are immediate issues
Z 10 which the Democratic party must
find Its opportunity"
What is your opinion. are the
chief issuesP" Mr.. Towne was asked.
"There is but one," declared Mr..
Towne, with great emphasis. "The
abdication of every American ideal
which has been held by our republic
since its bIrth-the abrogation of the
very constitution itself. 1t divides
itself into two questions, one lnterna-
tional and the other lnternal-the guar
antee OF national independence to all
nations and the preservation of equal
opportunities to all citizens within our
own country.
"On the tariff / would declare that
the expenses Of this government for a
good many years, at least, will be so
great that in order to meet them it Will
be necessary to raise the revenues from
duties levied on imports. But l would
levy those duties with the view to the
effect they would have upon the home
markets and the cost of the article to
the consumer.
"The present position of the Repub-
llcan party for protection with revenue
only as an incident. is absolutely con-
trary 10 the original position Of the
party on that question. The party IS
first position was for incidental pro-
lection only.
81 would declare for the regulatio n
of all those monopolies which arbitral-
ly increase the cost of living. l would
be careful, however, to differentIate
between those corporations and other
necessary and evolutional combinations
which, by increased capitalization and
concentrated management, reduce the
cost Of production. But l would see
to It that the benefit from the decreased
cost was reaped by the public and did
not 60 into the pocket of the manufac-
turer. l would arrange those corpora
tions which, through combination, de-
crease the cost of production hut raise
