that 1t excludes the hope that the Re-
publican party will ever be able or
willing to regain the separate exist
ence where 1t can honestly discharge
its duty to the people.
Revise Tariff Laws.
With the power and opportunity to
carry out Democratic principles, we
will be called upon to revise our tariff
laws in the interests Of the whole peo-
pie. This issue cannot be disposed of
by the assertion that the Republican
party also stands for tariff reform. Re.
publican revision and Democratic re-
vision are two different things.
The Democratic idea is that where
the tariff enables the trusts to main
tain q system of extortion the duty
should be removed from all trust made
goods, SO that competition from
abroad may compel reasonable prices
to our W people. There is a vast
difference between the protection of
American industries and the protec-
ton of criminal monopolies.
Will Need Tariffs.
The expenses Of our government,
even when most economically admin
istered will always require substan-
tial tariff rates, for the customs du-
ties will always be our chief source
OF revenue. The amount and distrf-
button of these rates must always be-
delivered along equitable lines, keep
ing in view, the greatest happiness to
the greatest number and particularly
withholding the shelter of the tariff
from those who use it, not for legiti-
mate self protection, but for the Grim
inal purpose of extorting the last dol
lar from the American consumer. The
corrupt use of large sums Of money
in political campaigns is largely re-
sponsible for the %subversion of the
peoples will at the polls. The masses
are awakening to a realization of the
great power of gold in contests that
ought to be determined according to
the character of nominees and the
soundness and morality of political Is
sues, and there is a general demand
for publicity in the collection and use
of campaign funds so that our citi-
zens may know whether a political
party has purchased It's way into Office
or has won its victories by honest
means.
In the Chicago convention a minor
ity report of the committee on reso-
buttons, containing a declaration in IA
yor of publicity was overwhelmingly
defeated upon a roll call of the con
vention and the Republican party
placed itself s%quarely upon record in
favor of c%oncealing the names of the
contributors, and the amounts of their
subscriptions. By a vote of So to l in
the committee, and a vote Of more
than ten to one in the body of the
convention they confessed their guilt.
They thus admitted the charge so fire.
quently made by our party that Re
publican success lin the past has
largely depended upon the vast sums
of money collected from the great
monopolies of the country and cor
ruptly used in the conduct of its cam
paigns. Let the voters of this coun-
try seriously consider whether the re-
fusal of the Republican party to dis
close the sources and amounts of its
election finances is not a confession

can be absolved from its dereliction Of
duty by an empty promise to do it In
the future what it has wilfully failed
to do in the past?
Some one suggested that this con
%vention should publish an indictment
against the Republican party. We can
probably expedite the proceedings by
entering the plea of guilty that is
contained in the Chicago platform,
simply changing the words I'VE Will
to the words I'VE did not" to con.
form to the admitted facts. We then
have the following Republican con
fession Of guilt

1--WE did not revise the tariff"
we did not amend the antitrust
law to secure greater reffectiYeness in
the prosecution of criminal monopo-
lies"
I'VE did not add a single line to the
interstate commerce law, giving the
federal government supervision over
the issues of stocks and bonds by
interstate carriers
I'VE did not exact a currency
measure that would mitigate the evils
of a financial panic such as has re-
Gently Frustrated the country under a
Republican administration.

for abusing the writ of injunction"

A Financial Crisis.
The last congress was in session
during a financial crisis when innum-
cradle banking institutions, proffering
a holiday to a funeral, closed their
doors and filed the minds of the
millions of depositors with anxiety
and fear. The sentiment in favor of
postal savings banks which had been
steadily growing in this country, be-
came almost universal during the re-
cent panic. So insistent became the
voice Of the people that the presi-
dent sent a special message to con-
gress urging the establishment of
postal savings banks where the earn
ings Of our people might be safely de-
PocieSo uioCl LIZ ullSSI COlLiOl dllu
responsibility of the federal govern
ment, and where no specializing BAN
cashier or any member of the board
of directors could eat up the savings
Of years.
The United States senate showed
it's hearty sympathy with this pop
ular demand and it's profound respect
for the president by a%diourning the
senate while the message was being
read; while over in the house of rep
re%sentatives they refused to suspend
the roll call of the house to receive
the communication which had been
sent there from the White House.
The Chicago platform points with
pride to the passage of a child labor
law for the District of Columbia. Let
the Republican party 80 turtle ti'r~,
the enactment of penal laws and in
the name of humanity use its vast en-
ergies for the removal of the con-
ditions that are forcing our children
into the labor market.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1908-07-09

1t Is the reign of monopoly that is
emptying u school-houses and filling
the sweat shops with child labor and
this same system of monopoly Is fast
limiting the opportunities for indie
pendent livelihood among those who
are forced into the industrial field
and thus 1t is doubly blighting that
hope Of youth which in former stages
Of our national growth opened an ave-
u of honor and independence to
every child reared upon our soil. y
Republicans %Insincere.
The most palpable instance of the
~insincerity of the Chicago platform Is
fond in It's declaration respecting the
Issuance of injunctions. IT would
have Ieen entitled to more respect if
1t had omitted all mention Of it. AS
session after session of congress, la
Dor has pleaded for relief from the
abuses of injunctions, but its appeals
have fallen on deaf ears and there
has been no indication that remedial
Legislation of n character would be
enacted. The oligarchy in the house
and senate has decided that nothing
shall be done to weaken any advant-
age that corporations have gained in
labor disputes.
The fact is that all our citizens,
without respect to station or occupa-
ton in life, have a genuine respect
for the courts and desire to maintain
their integrity.
The charge that the courts are be-
ing assailed is simply made for the
purpose Of diverting attention from
the real Issue. Heretofore it has not
hpnn o0nciIo-nI frnoso- ~ n - ,,, 1r,o
rantable attack upon the honor of the
courts to define their jurisdiction,
prescribe their procedure, restrict
the bounds within which judicial
functions shall be exercised.
People Have Rights.
1t makes no difference whether the
courts are acting in excess Of their
jurisdiction Or strictly within their
delegated powers. In either case the
people have a right to throw addition
al safeguards around human liberty.
There can be no reflection upon the
honesty of the courts in the passage
of a measure that will confne the
equity powers of the federal Judiciary
within such bounds as the people of
the United States, through the legisla-
tive branches of their government
may determine. This democratic con
v%ention must formally and %unequivo-
cally pledge itself to such legislation
as will prevent the writ of injunction
from being converted into an instru-
ment of oppression.
We have something to do in this
convention besides pointing out evils
and taking the Republican party to
task for the part it has played in
creating and pe%rpetrating abuses.
Democracy is once more called to the
front ito battle for the sacred princi-
pies of self-government. 1t must wage
ian uncomRromising war for the re-
turn of the government to the hands
of the people, and this means that the
phalanx Of special interests must be
broken. The triumph of the people
can come only through the Democratic
party, for the life of it's chief political
opponent is SO absorbed into the arti-
fetal life of the monopolies and trusts

of the debasing and corrupt use of
moneys in its campaigns.
Should Define Measures

of the debasing and corrupt use of
moneys in it's campaigns.
Should Define Measures.
1t is eminently proper that this
convention should define the Demo-
cratic attitude toward the regulation
of transportation companies and call
the attention of the country to the in
disputable fact that 1t was only after
years of Democratic effort that an
amendment was made to the inter-
state commerce law authorizing the
commission to establish reasonable
rates whenever it appeared that an
existing schedule was unjust and n
reasonable. The national platforms
of the Republican party remained sill
ent upon this great question for years
and the fact that the necessary
change was advocated by a Republi-
can president, who succeeded only
through the aid Of the Democrats in
both branches Of congress in placing
the amendment upon our statute
books, does not affect the credit to
which u party is entitled for having
worked persistently for such an enact
ment.
Further amendment to our laws Civ
ing the federal government supervis-
lon over the issuance Of railroad
stocks and bonds is demanded.
The fixing of transportation charges
and the control of assurances of rail-
road securities are inseparably con-
nected with the actual valuation of
railroads. The Democratic party be-
lieves that the first thing to do is to
secure a physical valuation of the
roads, that is a valuation of the solid
