MIR. BRYAN's TARIFF PLANKS

Following are the tariff planks
suggested by Mr., Bryan for the
next National Democratic platform:
l. A platform il II pledge, given
by the candidat" to the voters, and
when ratified at the polls becomes n
contract between the official and
his constituents. To violate it, In
letter or in spirit, Is not only undnm-
ocratic, but repugnant to the prin-
ciplcs Of representative government
and constitutes an cmbezzlrmcnt
of power.
>. We denuuncc the dcputism
known as Canuonism and favor such
Au amendment to the rules of the
national house Of representative as
will restore popular government in
that body and insure the rule of the
majority on every question.
}. We endorse the tariff plank Of
the last national democratic plat
form and believe that the measure
carrying out the promise of that
platform should, among other things,
provide for:
Free wool, the abolition of the
compensatory duties on wOOlens
and u substantial reduction in the
ad valOrem rate on wOulens.
Free lumber, free wood pulp and
free paper.
Free hides, leather, harness, boots
and shoes.
, Free oil and products of oil.
Free iron ore. free coal and low
duties on all manufactures Of iron
and steel
Free binding twine, cotton ties
and cotton bagging
Material reductions in the cotton
schedules and in the tariff upon all
other nccessarics of life, especially
upon articles sold abroad mures
cheaply than at home, the aim be-
ing to put the lowest duty on ar
ticlcs of necessity and the highest
on articles of luxury Articles
coming into competition with trust
made articles should be placed on
the free list.
No tariff rate should be above 30
per cent nd valorcm, except upon
liquor and tobacco, and all rates
above - per cent, excepting those
upon liquor and tobacco, should be
reduced one-twentieth each year un-
til - per cent rate is reached, the
purpose being to reduce the tariff
gradually to revenue basis and
thereafter to collect tariff for re-
venue only.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

On August 10th new Missouri
law became effective, making cruelty
to animals graded felony, punish
able by term in Jail or the peni-
Tertiary, at the option Of the Judge
or jury. This law will be warmly
endorsed by lovers at horses, who

policeman who fails To arrest IA ma.
caught whipping an overloaded team
is derelict in his official duty, and
every man, woman or child who fail.
To reprove and report such one Is

Under the old law the punishment

~ believe that we should stand
