DEMOCRATS SHOULD
 HELP THE PATTY

EAANA The Advertiser appeals earnestly to the Democrats of Alabama to come to he aid of the party's Campaign Fund. This seems to be a Democratic year. The party is harmonious and well or ganIzed. But money is needed. The managers of the campaign must look to the rank and file of the party for funds. Other States are responding liberally. Alabama Democrats must not be slow. If every Democrat in the state would give $1 1t would help Anightily.
 The Advertiser believes the Demo- cracy of Alabama will do its part. The Advertiser pledges itself to work un- ceasingly to secure the money.
 Let every beat in the State orga- nize. Every white man in every beat should be solicited. Tho Advertiser will receive the money and forward 1t to the National Committee.

MORAL SIDE OF TARIFF.
Violates American Ideal of Equality Before
 the Law.


 the Law.
 Tn a paper read before the International Free Trade Conference held at London. Au gust 4th-7th, President Jordan of Leland Stanford University gives his view of the protective system.
 Every argument for and against the tar if has been stated a thousand times There k nothing new to be said But at the bottom of every argument remains the necessary recognition of it's primal inquity The fundamental Idea in American polity is that of square deal to all men, each standing on his own feet with exclusive privileges or governmental aid to no man. and to no class of men Inequality before the law. entail. primogeniture, church con troI of state. state control of church. class consciousness and class legislation were evils which our fathers would not tolerate. They chose the hardships of Plymouth Rock and later the hazards of war rather than to put up with any of them. If there is one American idea ideal to be segregat- cd from the rest it is this of equality be fore the law. And 1t Is this ideal which Is violated absolutely and continuously in tho theory and in the practice of the protective tariff.

These producers may be capitalists directors ot industry. ar they may be the laborers who contribute effort only without responsibility for the way in which effort may be applied It matters not whether capitalists or laborers, either or both, actually profit at your expense or mine The law Intends that they should do so. It is breach of the principle of equality before the law that either should thus profit As matter or taet Ihere ,e,.s is immigration brings him new competitors and because he is in his turn one of the general public who suffer from the com nerce-tax As wages are raised so Is the cost of living For the director or employ CT of labor the case IS on the average tn" much better because the cost of his pr" duct is enhanced by the tariff taxes m everything which enters into his process

The Washington Herald mars the beauty of the Independence Party's mo- tification event by recalling that Hon. John Temple Graves Chattanooga speech which in the ebullience of hiS excited fever a the time he wished would be remembered when all else sh oud he forgotten concerning him.
