REVISIONOF TARIFF
3-We favor 4 careful we'll considered

aim at the reduction or total removal Of
the duties on articles Of American manu-,

RATE REGULATION.
I've hail the railroad rate Legislation
enacted by the present congress as tn,
first step in Il plogram which looks to Tho
growing assertion OF national authorit,
over graf a~ggreg"tions of capital, and We
claim this step of progress as Il Demo
cratic victory, because the Republican ad
ministration which urged The measure
found, not only its inspiration, but It's
specific plan, in the Dcmoc:aic Naticna
Platform of 1904, and received n united
Democratic support in the enactment OF
the law.
HOPE IS IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY
5-We declare it to be our conviction
that President Roosevelt's only hope OF
success in obtaining effective laws to stor
the aggressions Of monopoly, alike IL
transportation, in industry, and in higl
finance, lies in the election Of a Demo
cratic Congress in November next. The
Republican majority in the present Con,
gresS deliberately emasculated the most
important measurers which came before il
for consideration in order 10 make them us

ward provisions for judicial review.

wholly upon the public and refused to re'
quire the placing of dates upon labels tc

1t neglected to provide an appropriation
for the execution Of the Pure Food Bill, Sc
that it remains Il dead letter.
More significant and sinister than all,
the Republican Congress refused 10 pass
measures %ioTbidding campaign c0ntrihu'
lions by corporations and requiring full
publicly Of all campaign funds, thus
showing that the notorious partnership
between the Republican managers and
the trusts is to continue to debauch our ra
tionaI elections.
Owe adhere to our oft stated position
on the money question. We claim that
the Guantitaive theory Of money has been
vlndicatcd by history. We rejoice that
history has verified all the contentious of
the great Democrat, who, in 1890 voiced
Democratic opinion, and that public senti.
ment now demands his installment in the
high position of which he was then TN.
justly deprived by a campaign Of misrepre.
