The primal purpose of 1.-THE tariff must
be the raising Of sufficient revenue to
carry on the government economically
administered.
The difference between parties is one Of
the degree of protection sto be, afforded.
The abolition of the Star!ff on products
Of foreign countries is not contemplated
by the Democratic party. N dr5iss 1t, posi-
BILE so long as a tax on i'm ports continues
to be the principal source Of income of
the government.
Continuance OF the present rate Of
tariff tax Is neither necessary for tia
providing Of revenue nor the equaliza-
ton of the difference between the cost
X of production at home and abroad.5is un-
justifiable and its sole effect is to en-
courage the formation in the United
States of trusts and monopolies.
The facts that many of the principal
products Of the United States manufac-
tured by trusts and monopolies and which
are protected against competition by eX-
cessive and unnecessary tax. are shipped
to foreign market, and there sold at
lower prices than prevails in the mar
kets of the United States, justifies the
Democratic party in demanding that the
DINGHY hill be promptly revised and that
all unnecessary and excessive rates there
be reduced or abolished In the interests
OF the American consumer.
The Democratic party pledges itself TO
a careful and fair revision OF the exist
Ing duties levied on articles similar TO
those produced by trusts and industrial
combinations, and which permit and en-
courage the creation of monopolles.
Continuing, the platform says:
1--WE demand strict and impartial
enforcement of all existing antitrust
laws and the enactment Of such addi-
tional acts by Federal and State govern.
ments as will prevent the formation OF
monopolistic combinations and trusts
