The democratic party of Iowa in con-
vention assembled declares it's adher-
ence and devotion to the fundamental
principles of the democratic faith,
tersely asserted in the words Equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none"
We believe in tariff for revenue only
and in approaching to that condition
of our revenue laws there should be
immediate relief granted to the people
who are now being robbed by extor-
tionate prices exacted under the shelter
of the tariff.
We believe that the people of this
country, who produce our wealth and
pay our taxes and fight the battles
Of the republic are entitled to purchase
the goods manufactured in this country
as cheaply as the people who reside
abroad. We denounce the extortion in
f1icted upon our people under the pre-
tense of protection as an outrage upon
the consumer and upon the poor and
upon the laboring people who produce
the wealth of this country. We be-
lieve the tariff should be removed from
all trust made goods and, in the re-
moval of all duties on iron, steel, lum-
Der and coal.
We demand the enactment of such
legislation as will effectually destroy
all trusts and the strict enforcement
Of all laws concerning the same, and
we denounce the executive of the state
of Iowa for failure to enforce existing
laws.
That we are in favor of such railroad
rate regulation in the state of Iowa
as will give equivalent rates and SER
vice to that afforded by the interstate
commerce act and that We are opposed
to the present legislation in force
discriminating, as it does. against To-
cal Iowa industries and declare in IA
vor of such legislation as will give COM
petition to all competitive points in
Iowa with thru billing anywhere in
the state.
We demand that our next legislature
enact 2-cent passenger fare on rail-
roads.
We are in favor of a primary law
giving to the people the selection as
we'll as the election of all candidates
from senator down, so drawn as to
protect all parties.

WILL NOT ARBITRATE
Operators Decline Mitchell's
 Offer; Present Their Plan.
WILL BRING PRESIDENT INTO IT.
Strong Impression That Mine Owners Will Propose Roosevelt Summon " Strike Commission to Re-
 view Entire Dispute.

NEW YORK, April 1O.-At the joint conference of the subcommittees of the anthracite coal mine owners and their employees held here today the operators declined to accept the arbi- tration plan as presented by the mine workers and in its stead presented a counter proposition which, If agreed to by President Mitchell and his men, will bind each side for more than two years.
 The operators have been working on the new plan ever since the adjourn ment of the joint conference of last Thursday, and the inability of the presidents of the hard coal carrying railroads to complete minor details caused postponements. The exact na- ture of the counter proposition is not yet known, as the operators did not intend to permit it to become public property until it had been presented to the miners.
 It is said, however, that the offer made involves an arbitration plan very different from the one presented by the miners, one that will call for the. set tlement of only new grievances. The operators still maintain the position that the miners in their demands have not called attention to anything that has not already been passed upon by the anthracite coal strike commission.
 There is a strong impression among the miners committee that the oper- ators will propose that President Roosevelt be requested to summon the strike commission to review the entire controversy. They decline. however, to indicate how they will receive the suggestion. The commission is familiar to a considerable extent with -condi- tioDs in the anthracite regions and therefore would not have to 20 over the entire ground, as would be the case if an entire new set of men were se- lected.
 The operators, through a representa- tive. stated that their general policy had been decided upon and that the minor details were arranged at a full meeting of the subcommittee prior to their conference with the miners.
 President Mitchell announced that the last of the bituminous coal oper- ators in the Pittsburg district who had held out against the 1903 wage agree ment had signed the scale. This ac- tion, he said. clears up the western Pennsylvania territory and means that 10000 men fin that territory. who pro- duce from 3J.OOO-O00 to 4O.Co0.OOO tons of soft coal a year. will receive an in- crease of 5.55 per cent in wages. This district Is the one of which Patrick Dolan. who voted against the 1903 scale. was president.

The question of fortifying the Pan- anna canal has come up again. The general staff got suddenly busy last week and announced that they had a scheme of Notifications already to submit to congress. As to the right of this country to fortify the canal, there can be very little question. The prohibition in the Clayton-Bul- wer treaty against Notifications was not mentioned in the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty and it is assumed by those interested that the silence gives consent. At the same time the war department has been in com munication with the state depart ment and it has been decided to lay the matter before congress to get a ruling on the point.

Uncle Joseph" has come to the front with an explanation, says our
 Washington correspondent. He says that anyone who thinks he was hint ing at tariff revision in his remarks
 out west the other day has another
 think coming and had better get it
 to operating quick. Tariff revision
 will come, he says, in his usual firm
 but kindly manner. It will come
 when he is ready for it and not be- fore. And that will not be at the present session. MT Cannon inti-
 mates that when the subject of tariff revision is preached there will be all sorts of people and parties to be heard from and that partial revision
 is out of the question. When the tariff is revised at all it will have to
 be as a whole, which probably is
 true, and he does not propose to have anyone toying with the throttle while he can make any sort of pretense at being busy elsewhere. Meanwhile MT Rainey of Illinois took occasion the other day to read the stand-pat republicans lecture on that very subject. He aroused a good deal of amusement and some indignation in the process. He said that American watches were being sold abroad so cheap that they were bought on the other side, shipped back to the United States to be sold a second time. He had number of watches in his various pockets to prove the assertion. He also spoke of the watch trust. This brought out protest from Mir Gardner of Massa- chusetts, who said he was a stock holder in one of the largest watch companies and he knew of no such thing as a watch trust. Mir Rainey raised a laugh by saying Mir Gardner would probably have a chance to ex- plain his negative information before the committee on ways and means. Mir Rainey added that while there was evidently no such thing as d watch trust. the number of employees in the watch making factories had greatly increased in the past decade, and there were now in the country only thirteen watch companies against twenty-seven in 1880. He said that there were i 5 per cent more men employed in the factories than in 1880, but that there were 500 per cent more women and 200 per cent more children. He said that this alone was a state of things worth in- quiring into. None the less there is not going to be any tariff discussion at this session. Mfr Davidson's ar rangements for having the ways and means committee sit during the sum- mer to take testimony will probably satisfy the conscience of the majority and quiet the inquiries of the con stituents. And the tariff bill will be allowed to drift till there is a demo- cratic house or till the house can stave oil the question no longer.
