but the rank and file of the democrats
went wild over it. They were betray-
ed into approving what, for policy,
they had kept in the background.
The position of the democratic par
ty is now just the same as that OF
Grover Cleveland in his message OF
1887, the same as that of the Wilson
tariff bill, the same as expressed by
Bourke Cochran. They do not pro,
claim their views where they know that
they will invite hostility, but the
democrats who will frame a tariff bill
for a democratic congress are all free
traders. There is not a protection
democrat on the Ways and Means
committee. They are all avowed free
traders and Bourke Cochran is their
most eloquent spokesman.
There is just one way to prevent
another panic through loss of conf
dence. That is the election of Rcose-
velt and a republican congress. "A
democratic victory would bring doubt
and business distress. The expert
ence of one democratic administra-
ton, from 1893 to 1897, should be
enough for one generation.

.TARIEE 4 ISSUE,

The tariff is, with the democrats,
now as in 1880, a local issue. They
not so declare as did General Han
cock in his letter Of acceptance, but
they recognize that there are places
where democratic discussion of the
tariff does not help the democratic
ticket. Last week a great aggrega'
ton of democratic orators invaded
| West Virginia with ex-senator Henry
G. Davis, for a whirlwind campaign,
and, while they were all tariff reform
ers they did not mention the tariff
while in the state. There was Sena-
tor Bailey who insisted on having the
phrase, protection is robbery of the
many for the benefit of the few, again
made a part of the democratic plat
form, but while in West Virginia, he
did not mention the tariff. He dis
cussed White House expenses. Just
think of Bailey, the constitutional law
yer, combining his speeches to the do
nestle expenses of the president!
David Bennett Hill was also in West
,irginia for a week and confined his
speeches to personal abuse Of the
president because he was not allowed
to discuss the tariff in that state. But
as soon as Mr.. Hill crossed over from
West Virginia to Indiana he changed
his tune and began to talk tariff re-
form. Chairman Taggart did not put
a tariff muzzle on Mr.. Hill as did MI.
Davis the candidate for vice presi.
dent. Mr.. Davis does not believe In
tariff revision Of the democratic kind.
He dare not advocate democratic tar
liz revision in West Virginia because
the people of that state believe In
protection, since they have seen their
coal output double since the election
of president Mckinley and the enact
ment of the Dingley tariff law.
The tariff lodging by Bailey and
Hill In West Virginia and their tariff
revision speeches in New York and
Indiana shows the methods of the
democratic party in this campaign.
They are going about the country
talking what they think may influence
the voters to embrace democratic doc
trine regardless of what it stands for.
But in the election Of congress there
is only one issue and that the tariff. |
Throughout the first session of the
5Sth congress John Sharp Williams
tried to keep the democratic members
from making tariff speeches and ne
succeeded until Bonrke Cochran came
to take the seat of Mayor Mcclellan,
and he could not keep silent. The
democratic leaders did not approve
Of that speech advocating free trade !

About the only objection advanced
by those in favor Of the biennial
amendment is the cost of holding the
election. Perhaps it would be well to
state that Section 16 Of the Article of
Amendment provides for a meeting of
the General Assembly in January,
1906 and 1907, thus making an extra
session of the legislature which will
cost the taxpayers of the state not
less than one hundred thousand dol
lars.
The Waterloo Tribune says: "The
biennial election amendment is an
amendment to beat you out Of your
rights at the polls. 1t is an effort Of
Office holders to have full control Of
matters for two years. The question
constantly coming up could not be
acted upon by public say once in two
years according to the new amend
ment. Vote against it at the polls
this fall. 1t will be one of the ballots
that you are asked to cast. Cast your
vote against IT, by all means"
The Manson Democrat says: For
the good OF the country, elections are
held none too often now, so why vote
for biennial elections? No tax payer
will ever feel the burden of taxation
lightened in the least by biennial
elections. The people who favor BIZ
enniaE elections are largely fellows
who would hold ONCE for life If they
conld only get a chance"
Every effort should be made to de
feat the amendment, as the extra cost
Of holding elections annually will not
be felt by the tax payers and it win
in measure remove the c~orruptness
OF Office holders, as they will have to
give an account OF their stewardship
each year; and further we will have
an election where state issues can be
discussed without their being buried
under national issues.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1904-11-03

swelled the cost to ST. 0 ,000, 900.
Either of these sums is SO far from
the true amount that it was expected
the democratic candidate would ex
plain his error. but it does not seem
to be his policy to make corrections.
Secretary of War Taft, who has had
more to do with the government OF
the Philippines than any other man,
waited nearly two months for an ex-
PLANTATION from Parker, but nom came.
Finally, on October 6, Mr.. Taft, in a
speech at Indianapolis, showed the
utter faIsity of Parker's statement,
pointing out that the sun named was
a gross ~exaggeration. INSTEAD OF
V e one billion dollars, or even $780,
600, O00, as stated by the democratic
candidate, the cost of the Philippines
to the United States has been only
$3.50, 900, 900, besides the $4,000, 900
paid in Spain, making the total cost
$1Sg, 00O, 900. Mr.. Taft added that the
cost a year for maintaining courts, and
the additional cost of maintaining 49,
900 troops in the Philippines instead OF
in the United States, all taken togeth-
er, do not exceed $5,000,0G0 a year.
Three weeks have passed since Sec
rotary Taft publicly called attention
to Parker's mis-statement, but Parker
has remained silent, completely ignor-
ing the correction. Now comes w. J.
Bryan, who has been too busy trying
to straddle Parkers gold telegram and
16 to 1 to learn facts about anything,
and repeats the Parker statement.
Bryan is talking anti-imperialsm, and,
in trying to strengthen his arguments,
is telling the people that the Philip
pines have cost $685. 600, 900 the
same untruth uttered by Parker. If
Parker made a mistake and was too
cowardly to correct it, it i'll becomes
Bryan, who has nothing to gain by
lying, to ape the New Yorker.
This incident is merely fresh evi.
dence that democracy is conducting a
campaign of Misrepresentation and
deceit.
