Mr.. Bryan on the Tariff

II is significant that the tariff Is the
first question selected by Mr.. Bryan
for special treatment In an address 10
the people, he reason which he as
signs for this IS that lit is the most
lasting OF our economic questions and
the one upon which the leading par
ties have most frequently opposed
each other"
1t has been charged that Mr. Bryan
was cold on the subject OF the tartfr.
but his address at Des Moines, as well
as the declarations OF the platform.
which he doubtless inspired. are far
from supporting this idea. The address
shows that he Is fully awake 70 the
need OF revising the tariff, and that
by revision he means a reduction.
Mr. Bryan reminds us that much OF
the clap-trap OF the Republicans with
reference to the tariff has been aban-
doned. There Is no longer any talk
about Infant industries" that must be
cared for till they arc able to stand
on their feet. There Is no longer the
claim that the foreigner pays the tax,
and no talk as TO the home market.
No doubt these things will be urged In
certain cases where 1t IS supposed that
they may still have an effect. out the
party no longer puts them into It's
platform or otherwise makes a gen.
eral feature OF them. The plan now Is
to seem to yield to the popular de-
mand for a reduction OF the tariff, but
without really yielding.
The objection that the people can
not intrust the completion OF this work
OF revising the tariff to the Republican
party is based upon the most solid
grounds. Pressure is brought 10 bear

presidential election, and TO a sybordl-

congressional elections. to compel

namely. that Mr.. BryaI's campaign or
education has borne fruit, and that
the Democrats who were blind 10 the
obvious fact that his first nomination
was the revolt OF the rank and file
against corporation-controlled De-
mocracy. now understands clearly that
in aiding the Republicans TO defeat
him, they helped TO tighten the grip OF
the monopolsts and the tariff bene-
fciaries on the country"
Indisputably the present national
campaign is a most interesting one.
Everybody wants good business. Tho
Republicans claim that that should
make the people lean their way. No
body wants 10 be oppressed. The
Democrats point TO the tariff ano the
trusts and in answer to the Republi'
can prosperity argument recall the re-
cent panic.
Unquestionably the Democrats have
the best OF the argument, since for

panic was undoubtedly bad business.
