The Tariff.

We demand a revision of the tariff,
not by the friends of the tariH, but by
the friends of the people, and declare
for a gradual reduction of tariff duties
with lust consideration for the rights
of the consuming public and of estab-
lshed industry. There should be no
protection for oppressive trusts which
sell cheaply abroad and take advantage
of the tariff at home to crush compe-
tition, raise prices, control production
and limit work and wages.

The Railroads.

The railroads must be kept open to
all upon exactly equal terms. Every
form of rebate and discrimination and
railroad rates is a crime against busi-
ness and must be stamped out. We de-
mand adequate railroad facilities and
advocate a bill empowering shippers,
in time of need, to compel railroads to
provide sufficient cars for freight and
passenger traffic and other railroad ia
ciities, through summary appeal to
the courts We favor the creation of
an interstate commerce court, whose
sole function 1t shall be to review
speedily and enforce summarily the or
ders of the interstate comerce commits
sion. The interstate commerce COM
mission should have the power to ini-
tiate investigation into the reasonable
ness of rates and practices, and no in
crease in rates should be put into eff

tigation is afforded. The interstate
commerce commission should proceed
