no doubt that the tariff protects the

have evidence that the tariff has had II

1907, there was work for 10000 more

This acknowledgement by such m

We hear from PittSburg. the head

employees of the steel trust are compelled
IL sell their small holdings in that cor-

truth of the republican declaration that
those workingmen are the direct bene-

the steel trust is very highly protected

DEMOCRATIC PARTY'S
INTERNAL POLICIES

Hon. Theodore \. Bell in his address
as temporary chairman of the Denver
convention drew Il sharp contrast he.
tween the policies of the Democratic
and Republican parties in the develop.
Incnt of the natural resources of the
United States. The Democratic party
stands for the reclamation Of our arid
lands and the improvement Of our
inland waterways. while the Rcpubli.
can policy is to waste our substance on
alien people. Following is an extract
from his address:
In recent years II party has given
signal proof Of it's ability to grasp the
opportunity Of building up I'm internal
policy. Of developing the natural
resources Of America anG converting
them To- the Use and benefit OC all that
will share in their blessings,
This policy Of domestic development
WAS strongly urged in former Demo.
cratic national platforms and earnestly
advocated hy Democrats uf both Houses
of Congress. and stands in brilliant
contrast with the imperial policy Of tho
Republican party in the exploitation Of
distant territory for the hcnciit Of II
favored few.
Witness the bcnCiicent operation Of
national irrigation. which had IFS origin
in the Newlands hili. and which owes
its place upon our statute books. not to
the support Of Republican leaders in
Congress, but to Francis G.. Ncwlands
and his Democratic colleagues. who
lai0rcd in and out Of season for the
reclamation Of our arid lands under
Federal aid and supervision.

The preservation of the forests and
the conservation of all our natural
resources We're taken up by u Republi-
can President only after years of agita'
tion by the Democratic party. Is it not
the Democratic party tolay that Is
leading the fight for the improvement
of u inland waterways along compre-
hensive and scientific lines: The last
Republican Congress turned II deaf ear
to the appeals of the President and
refused to organize an inland water
ways commission tn examine and report
upon the subject.
The opposition of the Republican
party to the policy uf preserving and
developing our natural resources in the
interest of the whole people had its
origin in that unhoiy ~alliencc between
the Republican party and the land
transportation m%onopolies Of the country
The triumph of the people can come
only through the Democratic party, for
the life of its chief political opponent is
50 absorbed into the artificicial life of
the m~onopolies and trusts that it excludes
the hope that the Republican party will
ever he able or willing t. regain Il
separate existence where it can honestly
discharge its duty to the people.

AN OUTRAGEOUS BILL

One of the most outrageous bills ever
brought before the United States senate
which WAS sought tn he passed i'll the
days of the session WAS that
which gives any three federal judges
the right to set aside the laws of Il state
at their pleasure.
1t is not to he wondered ut that such
Il hill found its way before the senate.
for it but shows the trend of the times.
For years past the federal Judges,
urged on by the big corporations and
combinations of capital, have been
steadily assuming the taking away
rights of the states and usurping
authority never intended to he con-
ferred upon them by the constitution.
which is no more or less than u move,
ment to vest all power, authority and
control i'll the hands of Il vcnal and
corrupt few.
We have all seen the flimsy prctcxt
Of ''constitutionality" used to protect
corporations against the justice of 1
state and have witnessed the steady
growth of injunction process that has
done away with the usefulness of the
legislature.
This outrageous bill meant that all
prctcnscs and prcteXts were to In
thrown aside and dcspotic power and
authority he boldly and openly asserted,
No injunction, no trial, no nothing.
but Just an agreement among three
federal judges that the laws of the state
should not bc.
And that is all there is Ia it.-St.
