AN UNw1TTING AvENGER.

So he sprang up and seized II without hesitation,
the proud Miss Elnora Evangellne Small
was making Miss Maude Montmorency call
In formal and properest way;
Her dress was a wonder
OF hand brOidered linen,
Her feet peepng under,
Such shoes had ne'er been in;
The hour was quite right for a call to begin in
And she knew minute just how long to stay;
Her stylish lOrgnette
And gold vinagrette
Both served to complete esthetic array.
She chatted away quite at ease she sat,
ARnd saw in the mirror the bird on her hat
Her mlliner's costly creation"
Just then old Hodge Johnson,
Who dozen the fender,
Cast envious glance on
The bird in its splendor:
1t seemed to his fancy young. juicy and tender;
So he sprang up and seized it without hesitation
And, nothing wrong deemng,
In spite of their screaming,
Reduced the whole head-gear to dilapidation.
The moral of which is no doubt about thaD,
The place for bird is not hat

laundry, and who is studying English had
sion the other day to write letter to the young

Republicans, and Tariff.

We are not at all sure, however, that
the Republicans will be as bold in their
declaration on this subject as they have
been. They may decide to retrace their
steps. The Republican platform of 1864
contained no allusion whatever to the
tariff question, and the only allusion
to the tax question in the platform OF
1865 was that taxation should be equal
ized and reduced as rapidly as the ma
tional faith would permit =
In 1872 1t was declared that "the rev.
enues of government, except SO much as
may be derived from tax on tobacco
and liquors. should be raised by duties
on importauons, the details Of which
should be so adjusted as to aid in So
curing remunerntive wages to labor, and
promote the Industries. prosperity and
growth Of the whole country" That was
the first allusion in any Republican plat
form after the war to the protective
principle. and 1t was very conservative.
Tho declaration in 1876 was even more
conservative, and demanded simply that
"the revenues necessary for current ex-
penditures and the obligations of the
public debt must be largely derived from
duties upon importations, which. so far
ms possible should be adjusted to promote
tho interests OF American labor and adj
vance tine prosperity OF the Whole coun-
try
The tariff plank of the platform Of 1880
was merely n reatirmation of that Of
1914
X IN 1884 however, the party became
more bold. and demanded that the Inn
position Of duties on foreign Imports shall
be made not for revenue only, but that in
raising the requisite revenues for the, gov
eminent such duties shall he 20 levied
as to afford security to our diversified
industries and protection to tho rights
and wages OF the laborer." In that year.

Democratic tariff plank Of 1855 much bet.
ter than that of 1854. 1t was also a HtInd.
die THE great contest between the Re.
publican doctrine Of protection for thu
sake Of protection and the Democratic
doctrine OF tariff for revenue did not
como until 1892 THAT was after the people
had been living for several yenis under
what was known ms the Mckinley tariff,
which was protection ruin mad, and which
outrageously Increased the public burden
for tho benefit OF the favored classes.
But the Republicans were still bold, and
reaff1rmed their doctrine OF protection,
maintaining that .the prosperous cond-
ton uf the country was largely due to
the wise revenue Legislation Of the last
Republican Congress
Tho Democrats met the issue boldly
and definntly in this ringing declarn-
ton: eve denounce Republican protection
as fraud, robbery Of the great ma
jority Of the American people for the
benefit of the few. We declare 1t TO be
a fundamental principle OF the Democratic
party that the Federal government has
no constitutional power to Impose and
collect tariff duties, except for the pur-
poses Of revenue only, and we demand
that the collection OF such taxes shall.
be limited to the necessities of the gov
cinment when honestly and economically
administered" That was the main issue,
and tariff reform and protection were
tho topics of the newspapers and the
public speakers throughout the campaign.
1t was campaign Of education. IN
which the people were made to UNDER
stand clearly what tariff for protec-
ton meant and how they were made to
bear the burden Of taxation under tho.
Mckinley act no matter how ndroitly
concealed the process was. Everybody
knows that the result Of that contest was
tho triumphant election Of Grover Cleve-
land as President OF the United States.
In 1896 the tariff question Was given \
back seat BIZ tho Democrats. and free
silver was made the paramount Issue.
Indeed. the tariff question was practi-
cally eliminated by the declaration Of the
Democratic platform. Democrats made
their fight upon the currency question
and lost. Nor was there any vigorous
contest In 1900 over this question.
But in tho year 1904 the tariff question
has again come prominently to the front,
and II the Republicans stand pat on
their tariff schedule. and II the Demo-
Gratis meet them with true Democratic
doctrine on this practical question. there
is good ground for hope that the Demo-
cratic victory of 1892 will be repeated.
