A Tarlff for Revenue Only.
For the Advocate.

For the Advocate.
We notice with deep regret the
course OF some of the Democratic SEN
ators In their votes on the tariff bill
now under discussion In the Senate.
our own Senator Smith among them
A tariff for revenue only is the course
demanded by the Democrats Of the
country. or course. they will claim
their votes were entirely on this line,
but the facts remain that they all
seem to see this In matters where
they are personally Interested, or.
TO say the least. the localities they rep
resent may be interested. Patriotic
craftsmanship cannot excuse this,
however, as the vicious evils OF the
protective tariff have grown exactly
under such methods till now few peo-
pie, except those enjoying the benefits.
tolerate II, We have right to de-
mand thato representatives profess
ing Democratic principles should be
guided by the party's declaration;
otherwise, be charged with unfaithful-
ness to their promises, or, worse, vot-
ing in some way to affect fayorably

Census Amendments.

Maryland VIM be entitled to 900 cen
sus enumerators. Five supervisors
at 81 500 each, with bonus of 81 ad-
ded for each 100 persons enumerated
in their respective districts. Twenty
FIVE or more Office clerks. -Four hun
dred enumerators for Baltimore city
at 2 cents for each name they secure.
Five hundred enumerators for the
counties of Maryland at 25s to cents
for each name they secure.
The 900 enumerafors In Maryland
will be divided among the districts
according to the requirements of each.
In the rural districts the task will be
more difficult and will require more
time than In Baltimore and larger
towns. In some cases conscientious
census takers will have to tramp
miles in order to add two or three
names to their lists For this reason
the county men will be given more
time to do their work and more money

FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MAY %. 1909
THE TARIFF DEBATE.

The debate upon tie tariif, which
has been going on IN Congress for
nearly two months. is still dragging
its slow length along, and win prob
ably continue a month or two longer,
greatly to the disturbance OF the busi-
ness interests of the country.
1t is manifest that we are not to
have any reduction Of the tariff sched-
ules. The Republican party, which
is in charge of the government. prom
ised in its platform in the last Presi-
dental campaign, a revision. which
was understood by the people to mean
reduction OF the tariff But this
seems to have been a snare and de-
lusion, for from all indications, the
Payne-Aldrich bill will provide high
er general level of tariff duties than
the present oppressive Dingley Law.
We regret to see some OF the Demo-
cratic senator's departing from the
time-honored principle OF the party
upon the tariff question. and voting
with the Republican majority In up
holding the protective system. on ar
ticles In which they think their con-
stituents locally interested
The position of the Democratic party
upon the tariff, and which II has main
tanned all through It's history. is. we
think entirely unassailable. And
that is, tariff for revenue only, with
such incidental protection as this
would afford. The party has always
declared its belief that the protective
tariff system is unjust and iniquitous.
and we believe any departure from
this fundamental principle OF our
faith. upon this question. will weaken
the party before the country
Let the Democratic party stand up
on this sound and just basis, which
II has maintained since the days OF
Jefferson. and the people will respond
TO II. as they did when Grover Cleye-
land swept the country upon this
identical issue.
