publican party in tardy recognition OIL
the Righteousness. of the Democratic
position on this question, but the peo-
pie cannot safely entrust the execution
of this important work to a party
which is SO deeply obligated TO the
highly protected interests as IN the
Republican party. We call attention to
the significant fact that the promised
relief was postponed until after the
coming election-an election to sue
coed ins which the Republican party
must have that same support from
the beneficiaries of the high protective
tariff as it has always heretofore re-
ceived from them; and to the 1urtner
fact that during years of uninterrupted
power no action whatever has peeh
taken by the Republican Congress TO
correct the admittedly existing tariH
iniquities.
We favor immediate revision of the
tariff by the reduction Of import du-
ties. Articles entering into competition
with trust-controlled products shouiu
be placed upon the free list, and ma
terial reductions should be made in the
tariff upon the necessaries of life, es-
such American manufactureries are
sold abroad more cheaply than at
home; and graduate reductions should
be made in such other schedules as
may be necessary to restore the tarlh
to a revenue basis.
Existing duties have given to the
manufacturers of paper a shelter pc
hind which they have organized COM
binations to raise the price OF pup
and of paper, thus imposing tax
upon the spread of knowledge. we de-
mand the immediate repeal of the tar
iff on pulp print paper, lumber, tlmper
and logs and that these articles be
placed upon the free list.

n IKE 3. WRIGHT, appointed by
the president to succeed Will
81 liam 81. Taft as secretary of
war, is described as a Gold
Democrat in a very brief and modest
sketch in who's Who In America 2
In the official announcement of his APP
pointment it is stated that ''the presi-
dent was Influenced somewhat by the
desire to recognize that there is no
longer any dividing line between the
north and the south"
Mr. Wright was a Confederate sol
der in his boyhood. He enlisted at the
age Of fifteen and served through the
war, coming out a lieutenant His
service was in battery commanded
by an uncle, in which Luke's elder
brother, Eldridge, was also an officer.
Eldridge Wright commanded one sec
ton of the battery at the fierce battle
Of Chickamauga. Luke Wright also
commanded a section. During the bat
tie an artillery sergeant who was an
intimate Of the Wrights ran up to

Ambassador to Japan.

AS governor general the Tennesseean
served two years until his selection
by the president to be the first Amer
lean ambassador to Japan. He served
year as ambassador, then resigned
and returned to Memphis and his law
books. After only one years respite
he now takes up official duties again.
1t has been popular since the presi-
dent announced Mr.. Wright's appoint
ment to call him a Democrat. AS
mentioned, he opposed Bryan in 1896
on the money question and voted
against him. In 1900 he was again in
opposition to the Democracy on what
was defined in the Kansas City plat
form as the paramount issue of the
paign-imperialism Mr.. Wright,
as a matter of course, stood for the
Republican policy Of expansion, so far
as the Philippines are concerned, be-
ing a member of the administrators
commission to govern those islands,
Going much further back, it may be
recalled that in 1876 and in 1884 Mr..
Wright was a delegate to the Demo-
cratic national conventions. Thus he
helped to nominate the only two Dem
ocrats who have been elected to the
presidency since 1S56-Tilden and
Cleveland. TIden didn't serve. But
that's another narrative. Mr.. Wright
may be called a Cleveland Democrat,
having advocated in the main the poll
cies favored by the illustrious citizen
who has but just passed away. But
there are Democrats who think that
