fact that 1t was given 20 the country
just when President Taft was giving
his endorsement OF the recent tariff
bill.
II appears from Mr Bryan's state
ment that the Democrats. like the Re
pubncans, are divided ON this ISSUE
and especially that the great problem
in both parties is 10 get those who are
elected to office TO respect the plat
forms upon which they are chosen

lie would have the Democratic party
put into its platform certain specific
reductions OF the tariff. and would
demand Of every candidate for Con
gress a clear unmstakable declara-
ton Of his tariff policy
Mr.. Bryan is of the opinion that
while Democrats may honestly differ as
70 schedules, they arc not likely to diff
efcr much unless they are tinctuied
with the protective tariff idea He
then suggests the following sample
plank for future Platforms
"Free wool. the abolition OF the Conn
pensator duties on woOlens and "a sub
stantial reduction i'm the ad valorem
on woolons, free lumber, free Wood
pulp free paper. free hides free
leather free harness. free boots. free
shoes free oil and products of oil.
free iron ore, free coal and low duties
on all manufactures Of iron and steel.
flee binding Irvine, free cotton ties and
free cotton bagging. material rcduc-
tiOns In the cotton schedules and in
the tariff upon an other necessaries OF
life, especially articles sold abroad
more cheapy than at home the aim
being 10 put the lowest duty on arti-
cles OF necessity and the highest on
articles OF tuNury. Articles coming into
competiti0n With trust made articles
should be placed upon the free list
Mir Bryan contends further that no
tariff rate should be above so per cent
ad valorem, excepting upon liquor and
tobacco, and that an rates above %
per cent excepting those upon liquor
and tobacco should be reduced one
twentieth each year until 25 per cent
rate is reached. the purpose being to
reduce the tariff gradually to a revenue
basis and thereafter to collect tariff
for revenue only.
Hitherto. Mr.. Rryan has paid re-
latively little attention in his public
speeches 20 the tariff His present at
titude would seem to Indicate that he
desires to make tariff the issue for the
next congressional election.
