BRYANIC RITE OF ABSOLUTION

William Jennings Bryan, in his
Dallas speech submitted three
planks which he advised should be
inserted in every congressional plat
form. The first of these planks fol-
lows:
/. A platform Is a pledge, given
by the candidate to the voters. and
when ratified at the polls becomes a
contract between the official and
his constituents. To violate it, in
letter or in spirit, is not only undem-
ocratic, but repugnant to the prin-
ciples of representative government.
and constitutes an embezZlement Of
power
The Times Herald is willing to
take Mr.. Bryan at his word. Unless
ratified at the polls" a platform is
null and void The Denver platform
was not ratified by the American
people at the polls It was repudiated
by 100000 majority Hence Unit
ed States senators and congressman
OF the democratic brand were turned
loose to vote as they pleased. A plat
form is not a contract between the
official and his CONSTITUENTS unless
ratified at the polls, according to the
Nebraska chieftain. Mr.. Bryan has
the rite OF nbsolution
to all members of congress who fail
ed TO vote for the Bryanic provisions
of the Denver platform.-Dallas

its Introductory paragraph, the pro-
posed plnnks were suggested AZ fit

e Daily Light

To the Daily Light:
In yesterdays issue of the Light,
in reporting the trial of the case of
the State VS.. j. M. Griffith, you use
the following language: The com
plainant in the case against Griffith
was pretty sixteen year old daugh-
ter of farmer living near Bristol.
The offense is said to have been
committed last winter while Crit
fifth was teaching school In that
community. 1t is said that because
the girl violated some rule of the
school the teacher walked back to
her lips" Such are not the facts as
testified to by the witnesses and
while We believe the error is unin-
territorial, yet in view of the fact that
MIR Griffith proved and established
n reputation as peaceable and law
abiding man for more than thirty
years in this part of Texas by such
men as Rev. John s. Davis and Rev.
Currey of Dallas and by such men
as Mr.. Henderson, Mr.. Rape and
Mr.. Hendrix of the Midlothian COM
munity, and equally as good men of
the Trumbull community and in view
of the further fact that be is engaged
in the public vocation Of teaching
singing schools in all parts OF the
country and as the facts as reported
would greatly injure him in his call
ing, we, at his attorneys, request
that you publish this corrected re-
port of the trial
In the first place the prosecuting
witness was not sixteen years old;
but on the other hand was a child IA
years of age In the next place Mr..
Griffith did not plant kiss on her
lips" The girl testified that he kiss
by one disinterested witness, who
saw, the occurrence, and also by the
defendant himself. Not another wit
ness, save the girl herself, testified
that he kissed Ter at all. Further
more 1t was undisputed that she was
fourteen years of age; that she had
been guilty of an infraction of the
rules; that Mr.. Griffith prior there
to had announced in the hearing of
seventy-fiye other pupils that unless
this child, among others, quit mis-
behaving and creating disturbances
in the school room, that he guessed
he would have TO kiss them as pun
ishment; he testified himself that
he did not kiss her, but simply made
a motion as if to kiss her-this how
ever, was disputed by the girl. How
ever, it is further undisputed that
what he did do was In the presence
of the entire school.
Respectfully,
FARRAR, McRAE & KEMBLE.

An esteemed contemporary, the
Greenville Herald says; Last year
We We're told that any one, who when
elected as a democrat violates the
expressed will of his party on any
proposition, was an embezzler of
power" and we agreed with them
in this. This year we are told by the
same people that any one so elected
can violate such will, so expressed,
as often as he wants to, provided that
he claims such proposition" was
mistake or provided he desires to
begin to make a new platform" on
the question. A review of the po-
litical history of last year in Texas
reveals many things and with the
assistance of the Herald we propose,
for the benfit of democracy, to begin
a general review in an early issue.

In order that Ellis county demo-
Gratis may fully understand Mr.. Bry-
ans position on the question OF free
raw material the following excerpt
from his Dallas speech is made:
Whenever you put a tax upon raw
material you are not taxing the man
utacturer, because you always give
him compensatory duty and let
him transfer it to the finished pro-
duct. You always do that. | can give
you illustrations of it. Some of our
rigut to have free hides unless We
had free harness. l am in favor of
free harness, free boots, free shoes
and free leather as well as free
hiaes, but | want to remind you that
Just the moment hides were put upon
the free list the republicans them
selves brought in provision reduc-
ing the tariff on leather, harness,
boots and shoes, recognizing that as
soon as the tariff is taken off raw
material that you must reduce the
tariff on the manufactured product.
And in our bills that you condemned
in your Texas platform thirteen
Years ago, we provided in every case
that with the free raw material we
want a reduction in the tariff on
manufactured goods. For this COM
pensatory duty is not only sufficient
to make good all the tariff on raw
material, but in most cases it is a
great deal more"

THE GREAT PUBLIC QUESTION.

The tariff Is tax. The govern
ment, at its custom houses located
at every port of entry and place OF
importation on coast line and border
line. collects on the foreign merchan-
disc brought in a sum averaging SO
per cent under the Dingley law and
under the Payne law nearly 2 per
cent higher, and which under its
maximum rates, to go into effect
March 81, 1910, is about q per
sent higher
The effect of this enormous taxa
ton which the American citizen has
to pay, because the foreigner adds
the amount of the duties paid to the
price. is not only to fill the federal
treasury If this were the only effect
patriotism might reconcile us to the
system. The tariff does more. 1t
enables the American manufacturer,
who in foreign markets completes
successfully with the foreigner, to
monopolize the home market and
add to the fair price of his goods an
extortionate profit. \ fair price
is the cost of production
plus a reasonable profit The extor-
tonate profit is the amount of the
tariff, which is not paid to the gov
eminent on home made goods, but
which is nevertheless added to the
fair price of the homemade goods,
foreign competition being cut Off
So we have these tariff truths es-
tablished:
First-The American citizen pays
the tariff on foreign goods and
the government gets that.
Second-The American citizen
pays the tariff on American goods
and the American manufacturer gets
that.
Third-In foreign markets the
American manufacturer sells Ameri-
can goods to the foreigner cheaper
than he sells the same goods to his
Am eflcan IpllOW ClliZeuS.
Fourth-The amount of the tariff
which averaged so per cent under
the Dingley law, under the Payne
law is now per cent higher than
so per cent and under the maximum
rate will be 81 per cent higher after
March 81, 1917.
This is why the tariff question is
the great public question of the day.
The state taxes the man of property
but by the tariff the United States
taxes the man who has no property
taxes every man, woman and child
III the country on the necessaries and
luxuries of life, and taxes them not
only for its own benefit, but for the
! benefit of the tariff beneficiaries,
! who are the trusts. II matters not
/ that the tariff is indirect, that it IS
paid in a disguised form in increased
prices; it has to be paid, and the tar
if high prices eat up the earnings

difficult for the ordinary citizen to
make both ends meet, while the for
tunes of our multimillionaires are
the greatest in history.
If these fortunes we're the result
of superior business ability; if their
possessors were getting rich honestly
by their unaided efforts, it would
be wicked envy for any one to OBJ
iect to their wealth. But when our
government, the most powerful
agency on earth, is used as giant
machine TO make the rich richer and
the poor poorer it is idle for Sena-
tor Aldrich TO declare that the
American people can be relied upon
to maintain their answering loyalty
