Senator Wbyte Says it is
Democratic Doctrine
MONOPOLY IS FOSTERED
Believe No Hope Whatever Can Be
Held Out to the People of Any
Tariff Relief From the
Republicans.

Washington. August 1o.-(speeial The
democratic party caa only be successful
by making the revision of the tariff the
cardinal issue Of the campaign
Senator William Pinkney whyte the
grand OLD man of Maryland. gave ex-
preston to the above opinion tonight.
"A tariff fer revenue" he continued.

dental may be secured by fair revision
Of the customs schedules under demo-
cratic administration. Monopoly is FOSTER
ed by the exaggerated duties levied under
the Dingley act. passed in the interest
of tho republican party.
Is Democratic Measure.
Therefore it is palrable that a just
revision Of the customs schedules at
present in force is a democratic measure.
and should be supported by every aandi-
date for Congress running on the DEM
ocratic ticket. On this subject the re-
publican party has widely changed It's
position and by its high protective policy
has built up the very trusts against which
the present administration is running
amuck
Can 1t be believed at this day that
the republican convention which nomi-
mated Abraham Lincoln in 1880 expressed
itself in it's platform as favoring only a
revenue tariff with incidental protection?
The language was this: That while pro-
viding revenue for the support of the
general government, by duties upon inn
ports, sound policy requires such an adj
iustment of these imports as 70 encourage
the development of the Industrial IN
terests Of the whole country No special
favoritsm here.
The parts Of graft, special privileges
and standpatsm has fallen from inci-
dental To exaggerated protection I'M
perial colonization, the big stickism, mo-
nopoly and graft have taken the place
of constitutional liberty and the rights Of
the states. The old policy cf the repub-
lican party has been thrown TO the winds
and instead they have stolen certain Of
the policies of the democrats TO save their
sinking ship.
No Hope for Republicans.
mo hope whatever can be held out
to the people of any tariff relief from
the republicans. If they are successful
the voters will find like Cardinal Vol
sey, that their promises have been great,
but their performances nothing.
"The law should protect the many. in
stead of pandering to the exertions Of
the few. 1t is absolutely essential, there
fore. that the main plank in the dem-
ocratic platform should be tariff revision
1t goes without saying that the democ-
racy should be pledged to the curb
ing of trusts and the enforcing of ex-
listing laws In relation TO their regulation
and providing others If the present ones
are inefficient. There should be clear and
unequivocal announcement that the Phil
ippne islands should have, as soon as
possible. local government But the
tariff is the main thing"

its entirety.
Other testimony was offered in the aft

WOMAN SLAVES OFF DEATH ON RANCE

Few of the large concourse at the fun
eral Of Chris Holien in this city, which
was conducted by the Havre aerie Of
the Fraternal Order of Eagles Tuesday
knew of the brave effort of g. plucky
woman to save his life and how her
grit had enabled her to ward off death
until the unfortunate man could be taken
to the home of friends. Mr. Holen,
who was we'll known in Havre for
years in several capacities of labor, died
Sunday at the home Of Frank Swartz,
rancher living nine m les south Ct
Havre, from the effects Of a runaway
accident. He had ben in the employ
of Mr.. SwartZ for some tine. Last
Thursday his team became unmanagable
while he was unhitching it for a rest
hour on the range and he was caught
in the harness and dragged for a long
distance through a slough. He was
discovered several hours later half bur-
ried in mud by Mrs. Gus Hobbs, q
ranch woman of the locality, and was
then so covered by the soil as to be
scarcely recognizable as a man.
Mrs. Hobbs at once tethered her team
