|IHE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
convlrt Leasing Condemned, Initia- tive and Referendum Favored Capitol Question up to"
 Donaghey.

The election of the four men as delegates-at-large to the Demo- cratic national convention, who were on the so-called slate of the Don aghey-Pindall organization, and the ad- ministering of a crushing defeat to Senator Jeff Davis, who was one of the candidates for a position on the Big Four" were the chief features of the first days session of the Democrat ic convention, which convened at noon Tuesday in the Auditorium in Little Rock.
 The convention adopted strong reso- lutions endorsing William Jennings Bryan and instructing the delegates from this state to vote for him as long as his name is before the convention.
 The election of the Big Four was the big event of the opening days ses- sion, overshadowing the formal nomi- nation of the candidates for state of fees named in the Democratic pri- mary of March 26. The attempt to break the slate of the new Donaghey organization, which was thought early in the day to prove formidable, proved fruitless, the convention naming as the members of the Big Four Senator James P. Clarke, George w. Donaghey, Secretary of State Ludwig and James H. Harrod, the four men credited with being on the organization slate
 The final vote received by the nine candidates for delegate-at-large, after a number of counties had made Clarke, 40S Davis, .196; Berry, 279; Hinemon, 279; Harrod, 329; Donaghey, 3S1; Tompkins, 179; Ludwig, 301; Breckinridge, g.
 The vote was not completed until 6:30 o'clock and motion to adjourn was made and carried immediately, al though the order of business adopted provided that four alternates-at-large should be selected Tuesday afternoon. MT. Robinson also discovered that he had failed to announce the members of the Platform Committee and order was restored while he announced that committee, consisting of one member from each congressional and one from each judicial district The committee, as named, is as follows:
 Judicial Districts.

After adopting a platform, which embodies in large measure the ideas
 advanced by George W. Donaghey, the
 Democratic nominee for governor, on
 state issues, together with compro-
 mise plank on the subject of state
 wide prohibition, asking the next state
 Legislature to pass such laws as are necessary to cause the question to be submitted to a vote of the people in 1909, the Democratic state conven- .tion adjourned Wednesday afternoon. 1t was the most harmonious session the Democrats of Arkansas have held in years.
 In addition to adopting the platform, |the convention Wednesday elected Guy B. Tucker national committee
 man from Arkansas and selected Judge R. F. Milwee of Monroe coun- ty and Bruce Bullion of Faulkner county as chairman and secretary, re- .spectively, of the Democratic State Central Committee, thereby carrying .out the program of the Donaghey forces without break.
 The convention named w. P. Fetch Ter of Lonoke, J. M. Spradling of Se- bastian and John T. Hicks and Lewis Rhoton of Pulaski as alternate dele |gates-at-large to the national conven- stion. John H. Hinemon of Clark and SClay Sloan of Lawrence county were Elected presidential electors-at-large.

Tariff Reform and Its Kind.

The Philadelphia Record says all
the Republican declarations on the
tariff, from the moderate one of Min
nesota to the gross absurdity of Penn
%sylvania, show that the Dingley tariff
will be revised only in the high pro-
lection sense. The Record goes on
to say:
mo enemy will be permitted to lay
profane hands on the sacred editice.
What that means has been seen more
than once in the history of the party
of protection. That there may be no
mistake as to its present purpose a
resolution introduced by Serene E.
Payne provides that the committee of
ways and means, of which he is
chairman, shall take up the subject
during the summer vacation of con
gress and use the materials collected
by government agents and experts as
a basis for future revision. With this
campaign maneuver the stand-patters
and the trusts are entirely satisfied,
in that it foreshadows an intermin.
able delay IN making such tariff re-
vision only as will serve their inter
ests. At the same time it stops the
mouths of all such Republican friends
Of tariff reform as prefer party to
the public welfare. Thus with the
stand-patters and the trusts in n
ring and the tariff reformers in the
other the Republican party will march
in perfect harmony to accomplish the
main end in the preservation of polit.
ical power"

Democracy and Business,

That Democracy is something very
different from the Rooseveltian policy
of trying to regulate all the business
under the sun by federal legislation is
well illustrated by resolutions adopted
recently by the Democrats of Hot
Spring county, Arkansas.
While r%eserving the right to regu.
late corporations by law in all reason
able and necessary particulars, these
resolutions as given to the Republic
by a contributor call for the repeal
of certain recent enactments of the
Arkansas Legislature which are de-
scribed as unnecessarily drastic.
Without going into the merits or
dement's of the acts specified, it may
be asserted as a principle we'll estab,
lished by experience that all govern.
mental interference with business
which is not necessary and just is
harmful alike to business and to the
community.

The Tariff Issue,

Despite the emphatic declarations
Republican leaders and Republican
newspapers are constantly making
that the tariff will not be an issue in
the presidential campaign. it not only
will be but already is uppermost in
the public mind. This year of 1898 is
demonstrating anew what campaign
years of the past have again and
again proven-that the people and not
the politicians make political issues.
That the Republican party would
like to keep the tariff out of the cam.
paign is altogether clear. That is
why they so insistently maintain it
will not be an issue. But permitting
their wish to father their thought
doesn't father a fact. Tariff reform
sentiment is real and insistent. Nc
mind-cure treatment can dissipats /.

INIoUITY OF TARIFF LAW.
Excessive Drawback Allowed on Goods
Exported by the Trusts.

Do you know that the steel trust,
the Standard Oil trust, the beef trust,
the coal trust, the sugar trust, the
leather trust, the wire trust, the con-
densed milk trust, the tin trust, the
chemical trust, the watch trust, the
powder trust, the bag trust, the loco
motive trust, the typewriter trust, and
many other trusts and manufacturers
when they export their products are
allowed under the provisions of the
tariff law a drawback of 80 per cent.
of the tariff duty they have paid on
any material that has entered into the
manufacture of their products export
ed? Last year the amount of draw
back refunded by the government to
the trusts and manufacturers was
$5,445, 150.67. So the trusts were re-
funded that amount of duty On what
they sold abroad, but charged the full
price tariff protection allowed them
to charge to the consumer of the
United States, though selling much
cheaper abroad than at home.
This is one OF the small tariff steals
that the Republican leaders and the
trusts cooked up between them.
The steel trust and other trusts do
not need more than so per cent. of the
present tariff duty to protect them
from the competition of foreign prod
ucts, and yet the Republican party has
refused to revise any of the tariff
schedules to give relief to the plum
dered American people.
But you don't understand quite how
you are %plundered, do you? The re
funding of drawback is n of the
plans to add to trust profits on what
they sell abroad, because the trusts
are obliged to reduce the price of their
products to foreigners, and have to
pay the tariff duty the foreign govern
ment demands into the bargain.
You are, therefore, not only plum
dered by high prices so that the trusts
and manufacturers make enormous
profits, but they are allowed to evade
the tariff tax on the material imported
which they use in what they sell
abroad, while you have to make up
the amount by taxation, which the
trusts are allowed to draw back.
Perhaps you will say, if l had known
the tariff law had so many ways of
plundering me | would have voted
against the Republican party that has
persisted in standing pat, instead of
reforming such a system. But keep
your eyes open, for the smart Repub-
lican politicians are busily engaged in
getting up another scheme to fool you
again by promising to revise the tariff
after election. You will please bear in
mind that these promises of reform
are always to be redeemed after cleo
ton" But after election is like to-
morrow, it may never ONE
