ISSUES SET FORTH
GOV. DOUGLAS ON THE DUTY OF
DEMOCRATS.
Doing Away with Ubiquitous Dingley
Tariff the Most important Project
to Be Achieved Consumers
Victims Of Greed.

William l.. Douglas, former governor
bic Democrat. Regarding three tenets
of Democracy he says:
81 am heartily in favor Of larger
measure OF home rule for our cities
and towns
1T is hardly necessary to say that
| am opposed to extravaganza and in
favor of strict economy and retrench-
ment in all Of our governmental af-
fairs Not a dollar of the peoples
money should be spent unnecessarily
or invested in measures Of doubtful
utility to tho people as a whole.
The most important issue In this
country is that of the tariff In my
opinion, the Dinglcy tariff wall that
surrounds this country is entirely too
high, not only for the welfare Of con
sumcrs and Of the people as a whole,
but for the manufacturers, as class.
It protects the larger manufacturers,
combined into trusts. at the expense
of the smaller and Independent manu-.
faCturers II does not protect tho
farmer, for the prices of our staple
farm products are usually fixed by the
prices in foreign markets. 1t does not
protect the workingmau. for there is
no tariff duty on labor.
The extremely high tariT rates OF

fore enacted or than those of any
other country with the possible cXcep-
ton of Russia are largely responsible
for the era OF trusts In which We now
find ourselves The protected manu-

restrict production. raise prices and
get the full benefit Of these unneccs
sarily high duties. For the sam" rea'
