DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
from first PageJ

of wages at which men are employed
In the industries OF this country.
We believe in the civil service and
demand that the laws pertaining
thereto shall be honestly and rigidly
enforced. 10 the end that merit and
ability shall be the standard OF pro
motion rather than political services
rendered TO the Republican party.
We hold that the constitutional pro
vision that a navy shall be provided
and maintained means an adequate
navy, and we believe that the inter
ests OF this country would be best
served by having "A navy able TO pro
tect and 10 defend at once the two
great coasts OF this country. We be
lieve that neither coast IN future
should be left without adequate pro-
lection In the form OF a fleet. and
that American citizens should be pro
tected in their rights wherever they
may be In jeopardy.
As TO the Tariff.
We welcome the belated promise of
tariff reform, now offered by the Re-
publican party as a tardy recognition
Of the righteousness OF the Demo
cratic position on this question, but
the people cannot safely intrust the
execution OF this important work TO a
party which Is so obligated to the
highly protective interests that II
postpones relief until after the cleo
ton And we call attention 10 the
iignificant fact that the promise now
made Is wholly vitiated by the use OF
the qualifying words under which the
present tariff iniquities have been
fostered and developed
We favor an immediate revision
OF the tariff by the reduction of i'm
port duties. Articles entering into
competition with articles controlled
! by trusts should be placed upon the
| free list; material reductions should
| be made In the tariff upon the neces-
/ stiles of life, especially on articles
competing with such American manu-
| facturers as are sold abroad cheaper
than at home, and graduated reduc-
tons should be made In such other
schedules as may be necessary TO re-
store the tariff 10 a revenue basis
Every consideration OF public policy
suggests the conservation OF our
woodlands and the removal OF those
import duties which put premium
upon the destruction of our forests
Existing duties have given to paper
manufacturers a shelter behind which
they have organized combinations to
raise the price OF pulp and OF paper
and to Impose tax upon knowledge
The revenues derived from import
duties on pulp and printing paper are
so small and the benefits TO be OBJ
tanned from the abolition OF these
duties are so considerable that we In
dorse the attitude OF the Democratic
representatives in congress who un-
animously favored the placing OF pulp
and printing paper, lumber, logs,
wood, and timbers on the free list.
House Of Representatives..
The house OF representatives was
designed by the fathers of the consti-
tuition TO be the popular branch OF
our government. and, as such. intend
ed 10 be responsive to the public will.
In order that for our scheme OF fed
eral government 10 become a success
II is necessary that this part should
be jealousy guarded and protected.
The house OF representatives, as
controlled In recent years by the Re-
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1908-07-09

publican party. has ceased to be de-
Lucrative and legislative body. respon
sive to the will OF a majority of its
members. but was become an assem-
bly, under the absolute domination OF
the speaker, who has entire control
OF It's deliberations and powers OF
legislation.
We have witnessed the amazing
spectacle OF this popular branch Of our
federal government being unable to
obtain either the consideration or en-
actment OF measures desired by ma
jority OF It's members
Legislative government becomes a
failure when one member In the per.
son of the speaker IL more powerful
than the entire body.
We demand that the house OF repre-
sentatives shall again become legiS-
lative and deliberative body controlled
by majority OF the representatives
elected by the people. and not by the
speaker and we pledge ourselves to
adopt such rules and regulations to
govern the house OF representatives
bers to direct its deliberations and
control the legislation.
Misuse OF Patronage.
We condemn, as violation OF the
spirit of our institutions, the action Of
the present chief executive In using
the patronage Of his high Office TO Sc
cure the nomination OF one of his cab
met officers. A forced succession In
the presidency is scarcely less repug-
nant to public sentiment than Is life
tenure In that In that Office. No good
intent on the part OF the executive
and no virtue In the one selected can
justify the establishment of dynasty.
