FIGHT BY DEMOCRATS.
George M. Wallace Points Out How It
 Should Be Made by the Party.

Should Be Made Dy the rartY'
 The Democratic party should at tack at the weak points of its oppo- nent and should make constructive rather than destructive propaganda, and must attempt something really worth the while If ever 1t would get there and achieve success.
 First-It should promise that It's presidential candidate if elected Will call together at the Hague as many as will come of the nations Of the world to form a permanent inter- national congress and court Of arDi- tration, the first to declare and codify the existing law of nations and to make new international laws, the second to arbitrate all disputes be- tween the nations concerned except on matters of national honor and ter ritorial integrity. All to concern only those nations voluntarily going into the arrangement, and the ball to be started rolling if only U. $. and Venzuela join the game.
 Second-It should move In the di- rection of placing federal taxation upon the natural resources and talk ing them off eventually from every thing else. Legitimate subjects Of taxation are land, coal, iron oils, min- erals in the land, railroad rights Of way and public service street fran chises over and in the land, water and natural water powers, etc. proper tax on the water powers of the country alone, beginning with Niagara and down the line, would now soon support the federal govern ment and be burden to no one. Some great reform of this sort, eutt- ing special privilege to the roots and freeing the white man must be achieved to give demorctacy the lease of life that freeing the black man has given the republican party.
 Third-The demo cratic party should fly at at the topmast a leter- minatioh to reduce the tarif on the raw materials of industry, on the ne- cessaries of life, and on goods sold abroad more cheaply than at home.
 Fourth-It should promise a bank ing and currency system severed from government, freely permitted to develop by its own principles and laws, its institutions, business meth ods and legal restraints based upon the banking experience. of the world and history. freely confessing it's banking goal to be some such sue cessful system as the Scotch or Cana dian systems.
 Fifth-It should attract attention of course to tariff beneficiaries, but also to the special privileges of the landlord and raw material owner class. Land or raw material. labor and capital. unite to form product which is divided up into rent, wages and profits. If normally they each should get a third, then, if the raw material man gets four ninths, labor or capital must take up with two instead of three ninths. and to see which shall take up with less than its legitimate part produces the war be- tween labor and capital. They should unite and fight the landlord and raw material men.
 Sixth-Now while democracy should fight special privilege every where and all the time it should noi, supposedly under the same reform flag, pitch into economic develop ments and the laws of nature. This last is how 1t is that President Roose welt has ruck terror to all business including legitimate business, and done the country to a panic When legitimate and iliegitimate business alike is to be hit then panic and reign of terror Is the logical outcome. The Boston and Maine and the New Tor, New Haven and Hartford rail- roads should have been permitted to consolidate as should have been the Northern Pacific merger. Let the democratic party allay business fear by making the distinction between punishing special privilege and fn- ing and destroying economic deyel- opment.
 seventh-A permanent interna- tinnal congress and court of arbi- traitor which can be achieved as soon as unanimous action of all the nations Is no longer thought neees- sary; taxation placed upon the nat uraI resources and social assets. sneh as the coal trusts coal. the steel trusss iron. the Standards oil. the Astors unearned increment. the New Haven Water eompany's water. the Southern New England Telephone Co.'S franchise, the part of Niagara Falls now privately owned by Mr Morgan. the vanderbilts and the As- tors. the New York q New Haven roads right of way; reducing the sx- orbltant monument of special priv Ilege, the tarin. reforming our bank ing and currency syrtem. % it sill not oftener and oftsner strike down solvent concerns. cur.aii production. labcr. time. wages and profits. and turn prosperity Into diversity; striking a blow al fhs special priv iieee Of earsh ownership. at land i1rdlsm and raw material monopoly: sIIaTing business fears and dsprss- sious by punishirg special privileges and encouraging economic develop men, instead of visiting the wrath of the powers upon the just and uu- tuss alike. along such lines shozid the democratic fight he made and hr such achievement If. the derocratic parry. rfli merit and wtIl Ezin the respect Of the couutry and a iczE
