Democratic Tariff Reform and ROCK
Ribbed R1zlIv.

SfiiulllS VI TIC olldll eullOIldl nuTQy -gurQyS,
the Bryanites had grand rally in Atlanta last
Thursday night. The Constitution claims that
1900 voters were present. Heavens above!
We Jefersonians think we're doing nothing
extra when our grand rallies draw no more
than four or five thousand
The orators of the evening at the Bryanite
rally do not seem to have struck oil. Their
speeches were rather housekeeping, of
course, Hoke's eloquent discourse on "Tariff
reform This light, airy and humorous s1it
must have been hugely enjoyed
To get the full flavor of the Joke, though,
you have to know what is the record of Ho1<e
and his party on that identical subject. If you
know what that record is, you can get lots of
harmless amusement out of Hoke's ponderous
address.
1t had just so happened that from 1860 down
to 1892, the Democratic Party had never had
what they called "a fair chance" to reform the
Government.
If it happened that they had majority in
the y. S. Senate, the wicked Republicans were
found to be in control of the lower House.
Then, again, if the Democrats captured the
House, the wicked Republicans grabbed the
Senate Even though the Democrats might
elect a President, as in 1884, the wicked Re
publicans held control of Congress.
So the virtuous Democrats came before the
people in 1892 crying with loud, fearful
voice, Give us a chance"
Well, the people gave it to them. The Dem
ocrats captured everything in sight-Presi-
dency, House and Senate.
Whereupon, we had fine illustration of
what the Democratic bosses meant by Tariff
Reform
Hoke was there, and knows all about it-got
into the Cabinet you know, upon the endorse
ment of Bishop Henry Turner, co1ored, and
other eminent fellow-creatures.
Well, sir, when the Democratic bosses got
through reforming the tariff, nearly all Of the
articles produced in the South had been placed
on the free list, AND THE TARIFF DUTIES
HAD BEEN PUT HIGHER ON NEARLY
ALL THE ARTICLES THAT SHE BUYS.
After having denounced the Mckinley bill
all over the Union, the Democratic bosses
knucl1led to the Steel Trust by advancing the
tariff rates on most of its products, and gave
the Sugar Trust schedule which taxed the
people $5o,oooooo per year
This Democratic Tariff Reform of 1903 re-
duced the tax on silks, kid gloves, jewelry,
dressed furs, ostrich feathers, statuary, and
other 1uxuries; left untouched the duties on
many fine foreign wines, and increased the
price of such prime necessaries as nails wire
rivets, screws, steel plates, steel and iron tubes

bbe Jeffersonian

Now, how did the Democratic bosses pro-
pose to raise the $76,ooo,ooo which the gov
eminent would lose on account of these re-
ductions?
Mainly by taking sugar off the free list, and
levying tariff tax of IA cents per pound on
it. To this was added the Income tax which
the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional
Bryan was a member of the Congress which
gave the country that awful dose of "tarff re-
form"
May the Good Lord spare us another pill
of the same kind.

Don t Change Mr.. Watson S Hour of

Friends, PLEASE do not change Mr.. Wat
sons advertised hour for speaking, without
consulting him.
Ten o'clock in thes morning is the proper
time to open day-tim meeting. It is next

meeting in the afternoon. Where we adver-
t1se ten O'Clock a. m. speech PLEASE make

IN regard to the Jeffersonian simplicity of stthe

So we read that Billy Bryan has challenged
Taft to debate, and Taft refuses. There is a
much greater man than Taft, or Bryan either,
who has challenged W. j. Bryan to debate. Why
don't w. J. Bryan meet Tom Watson who is,
without doubt, the greatest American in the world
today outside of President Roosevelt himself. Meet
Tom Watson. Mr.. Bryan. Here is your chance

PAGB NINE.
Hearst Losing His Negroes.

Not only is w. J. Peerless capturing the
Taft negroes, but he is enticing away the
dusky leaders who had promised to support
ton.
Somehow or other, the negroes have all been
made to believe that Bryan is more favorable
to them and their demands than any other cam
didate in the field
If Bryan should be elected, he will owe it
to the negro vote-and what that will mean to
this country it takes no prophet to tell.
We take the clipping which follows from
the N. Y. World:
