lief on the cardinal doctrines of the
party. The money question is not
an issue and will not be an issue in

l do not say free trade, for the ne
cessities Of revenue make free trade
impossible, but we could and should
have freer trade along all lines, and
not free trade in spots.
"Other doctrines upon which all
democrats can stand are business
like economy in public expenditures,
opposition to the ~autocratic rule of
the present dynasty of the White
House and honesty in our foreign
relations. The latter is especially
important. We should deal honest

JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS, leader of
the democratic party in the House
of Representatives, in speaking of
national issues, says: "Revision
of the tariff, at least sc far as it
shelters the great trusts; larger
powers to the Interstate Commerce
Commission to deal with transport
tation rates; colonialism, as recent
ly inaugurated by this government;
corruption in office; recklesness in
u dealings with other nations
these in my opinion will be the
great issues of the national cam
paign of 1904, to be forced to the
front by the democratic party.
And on them the democracy, united
and harmonious, will be willing to
rest its claim to power. Others
may develop as the present session
of Congress progresses, but these
will be the main questions to be de-
cided."

dertake to question the dem
ocracy of Senator Cockrell.
A large percentage of the
ablest and most prominent
democrats in the nation, men
who have fought for demo-
cratic principles and ideas Tor
years and who were leaders
when the party was fighting
great battles, have within
the past seven years been de-
nounced as traitors and re-
publicans by democrats who
are able to lead only to de-
feat and disaster and by dem
ocrats who exhibit only the
capacity to follow blindly.
The majority of the ablest
and best democratic News
papers have also been SINH
larIy denounced because of
their opinions and adherence
to what they conceived to be
sound democratic principles
and their refusal to indorse
what they believed to be un-
wise policies. Many of the
ablcst democrats were driven
or voluntarily retired from
public service on account of
this intolerance, but the
newspapers have thrived and
grown stronger because they
do not depend on political
patronage or public Office for
their support, but on printing
the news, courageously
expressing enlightened
opinions and telling the
truth as they see the truth.
In all the list of newspapers
who are so fiercely condemn
ed We call to, mind not a sin
gle one that is not to-day
stronger in public patronage,
support and substantial con-
fidence than it was seven
years ago. Their vindlcation
has been complete and they
have shown themselves an
honor to American journal
