a better democrat than Hearst. Col.
Watterson also thinks that n Hearst
should be elected governor OF New

petitor for Bryan In 1908.
But not all democrats agree with

Hearst Is a leader i'm this line of work
Hearst Is selfish leader-he Is work

ABOUT THE TARIFF.

The Democratic principle of tariff for revenue
only would probably be the right all business in the
world just should be- But is foolish to refuse to
see how things really are These few facts
II the tariff imports suddenly removed in wholesale
way many large industries would stop work. and thou
sands of men would be thrown out of employ
ment Then the wages of the rest would fall the
prices of clothing and of wheat and and cotton
would fall, banks would fail, and hard times would
be here.
Democrats who real statesmen know this well as
Republicans and no Democratic Congress would dare
move the protective tariff in a wholesale way.
The tariff is not entirely right however, even for
present conditions 1t tects many things that need no
protection and makes immense fortunes for big rascas the
expense of the people. Democrats and Repubi-
cans both know this.
But you and do not know just how the tariff ought
to be fixed neither does the average politician The pot-
clans keep talking about the tariff to muddle and
keep us from thinking whether they are honest
and good men not.
What is the issue in politics? 1t is: Shall we elect
honest and wise bad and incapable office? II
we had Congress full of honest and wise men,
we could safely leave the tariff business for them
to settle. We safely leave any question a dis
