Waterbury evening Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury [Connecticut]) 1903-1917, 1908-02-07

For years the republicans have
been promising that when the pub
lie interests demand" there will be re-
vision of the tariff schedules but that
work cannot safely be committed to
any other hands than those of the
republican party. To instrust it to
the democratic party is to invite dis
aster." Such was the declaration of
the republican platform of 1904. But
the republican leaders were not salts
fed with that declaration and as an
evident after-thought they added to
the plank the mendacious statement
that: "A democratic tariff has al
ways been followed by business ad-
versity; republican tariff by bust
ness prosperity" Who, therefore,
can or will believe what they say?
Both their statement of adversely and
their representation of prosperity
has proven a false guide to their de-
luded followers. The present hard
times can hardly be laid at the door
of the democrats, asehey have had
very little to do with the reins of
the government for a number of
years.
