Bryan Pronoses Badly.

1t is recalled that Bryan during
the last decade oE such a matter has
proposed every thing from free silver
to government ownership. He gets
an idea and Immediately concludes
because 1t struck him that it ought
to be the law of the land. So far as
is known he has not abandoned any
of the measures he has advanced,
though temporarily he may be dodg-
ing several of them for the sake of
policy at time, wnen votes are
sought by him, only to be revived in
the event OF his elevation to the pres
idency of the United States.
Some pertinent remarks are made
by Governor Hughes OF New York in
discussing Democratic proposals. He
says:
II all that Nh. Bryan has favored
during the past twelve years had been
enacted into law we should have been
overwhelmed with disaster and would
regard 1t as our chief business in the
future to find way of escape from
the meshes of ill-considered lcgisla-
tion in which We would have been en-
tangled. 1t is fortunate for him as
we'll as for US that he was defeated,
and whatever may be his present po-
litical potentiality may be ascribe.d
to the fact that hitherto he has not
been permitted to carry out his pro-
gram. No doubt much remains to be
accomplished in the way of necessar;y
reform, hut the record already made
by the Republican party Is a note
worthy one and we must make fur
Their advances with care and needed
reflection. Our progress will be en-
trusted to safe hands and We shall ne
fortunate in having sailing master
who knows his chart and who will
take quite as much account of reefs
and shoals as of the speed of the YES
sci. We have got our direction, we
have a most precious cargo and We
must have a safe and experienced
pilot.
Mr.. Bryan says that the Demo
cratic platform is binding as to what
1t omits as we'll as to what is con-
tains." He might have added that
1t is as significant in the one case AS
in the other. Lincoln said. "In the
absence of formal written platforms
the antecedents of candidates become
their platforms" 1t NAV also he

registered since September !, and Is
not registered before October &c can
vote. The law is not quite plain on
the time, but to be on the safe side
every voter should see that he is

Tfe TarIR.

81
or the work that remains to be
done by the Republican party, says
Senator Beverage, the first is 10 re-
wise the tariff. The tariff we shall
make viii protect American indus
tries, and also open. foreign markets
to American products. A straight
out revenue tariff Is ancient; single
protective tariff is out Of date-We
Republicans propose to keep up with
the times. AS a straight out revenue
tariff gives everything away to for
eign nations and gets nothing in re-
turn, so straight out protective
tariff gives nothing away and gets
nothing in return. The modern
tarif is a maximum and minimum
tarift4-a high tariff to be applied to
any nation that will not give us ad-
vantages in its markets, and lower
tariff, still protective, to be granted
to any nation that will give us adj
vantages in Its markets. The Repub-
lican idea Is to meet other CONNER
cial nations with their own weapons.
BY such a tariff Germany, consider
ing her comparative resources and
situation, In dozen years has in
creased her foreign trade more rap
Idly than any other nation. by this
method France has kept her mills
open, her shops active, her trade Wig
orous in spite of causes that worked
against her commercial progress.
That man or nation has begun to die
who refuses to learn; and just as the
French and Germans and other COM
mercial peoples learned the wisdom
of single protective tariff from us,
SO we must learn the advantages of
e double protective tariff from them.
Such tariff will sell abroad many
head of live stock, barrels of -four,
manufactured articles, where one now
Is sold. This increase in trade means
new employment for the laborers,
new markets for the farmer Pros
perity depends on trade and trade de-
ponds on markets.
Nor will we stop there. Repuh-
licanism means advance. Tens of
thousands OF American citizens are
demanding a tariff commission. The
great organized producing interests
manufacturers, farmers, stock rails
ers-have petitioned Congress 10:
this common-sense method of hand
ling this intricate question, as Ger
many, France, Japan and other ag-
gressive Notwithstanding nations
are handling their tariff question.
Yet the only hope for tariff COM
mission is in the Republican party.
When the tariff commission idea was
advanced Mr.. Bryan opposed 1t in
formal printed debate. When
tariff commission bill was introduced
in Congress, every Democrat was hos
tile to it. A tariff commission has
not single friend among Democratic
public men. Certain Republican pub
lie men are against it too; but its
only friends are Republicans. A
Democratic vote is a certain vote
against a tariff commission. A Re
publican vote is possible vote for
this business-like reform.
