brief, letters from constituents
who either approve of or con-
denim the votes cast by heir
democratic senators or congress
men. The Commoner believes
that the democratic senators
and members of congress who
voted against free lumber have
greatly embarrassed the demo-
cratic party, greatly strengthen
ed the republican party, and
grievously wronged their consti-
tuents. But it is the desire of
the Commoner TO do justice to
all, and thus offer space to both
sides that the readers may Judge
for themselves after reading the
arguments presented. The demo-
cratic platform adopted by unani-
nous vote at Denver last July,
contains the following tariff
plank:
We welcome the belated
promise of tariff reform now Of
fered by the republican party as
a tardy recognition of the
righteousness of the democratic
position on this question. But
the people can not safely entrust
the execution of this important
work to a party which is so
deeply obligated to the highly
protected interests as is the re-
publican party. We call atten-
ton to the significant fact that
the promised relief is postponed
until after the coming election
an election to succeed in which
the republican party must have
that same support from the bene-
ficiaries of the high protective
tariff as it has always heretofore
received from them; and to the
further fact that during years of
uninterrupted power nc action
whatever has been taken by the
republican congress to correct
the admittedly existing tariff
iniquities.

of the tariff by the reduction of
import duties. Articles enter

WHAT IS DEMOCRATIC?

The democrats who voteo
against free lumber have
Voted to repudiate the natlona
platform of the democratic
party;
Voted to encourage the de-
struction of our forests;
Voted to raise the price of one
of the chief necessaries of life;
Voted to tax a material that
enters into a multitude of indus
tries, and thus to place an un-
necessary burden upon these in
dustries;
Voted to tax the people of the
whole country for the benefit Of
a comparatively few owners of
timber lands; and
Voted to tax majority OF
their own constituents for the
benefit of a minority of those
constituents.
To cast such a vote democrat
must have arguments that have
not yet been given to the public
and must be prepared to present
these arguments to his consti-
tuents. The Comrnoner will
give space(up to two thousand
words to any democratic senator
or member of Congress who de-
Sizes to present an argument in
favor of a duty on lumber, pro-
vided he will in his article answer
the following questions:
First, is a platform binding?
Second is it wise to encourage
hthe devastation of our forests?

interests of their states or dis
tricts? Even if they attempt to
Justify a tariff on lumber as a
national proposition, and without
regard to local interests, it will
probably be found that the
national argument only has
weight with those who repre-
sent local sentiment in favor OF
a tariff on lumber, and the
public will doubtless weigh the
local interest in deciding upon
the motive of the senator or
congressman in voting against
free lumber.
There is nothing more neces-
sary to the welfare of all the
people than lumber, and it ought
to be as cheap as possible. TO
put a tariff on lumbbr is like
putting a tax on salt, and the
salt tax has ever been considered
hardship. and it has always
been resorted to by despots, for
no one can escape such tax.
But lumber is not only neces-
sity, but it is a vanishing product,
and a tariff upon it simply stimu-
lates further destruction. If
there is any one product that
ought to 60 on the free list, it is
lumber.
Not only is lumber one of the
necessaries of life-not only do
our timber lands need such pro-
lection as can be furnished them
by the free importation Of lumber
but tax on lumber imposes a
heavy burden upon all the peo-
pie for the benefit Of very
small percentage of the people.
What proportion Of the Ameri-
can people can possibly be bene-
fiteI by a tariff on lumber? The
percentage is exceedingly small.
Even in the states where there
are lumber interests, the majority
of the people are buyers of lum-
her rather than producers. The

In the tariff contest in congress
a number of democrats in the
senate and house have voted for
tariff on lumber, and have at
tempted to defend their action
in so doing. Two questions are
involved, and the democratic

these questions and answer them

persons representing most of the
great activities and all sections of
the country, have been before the
committee. This was large task.
It ought to have been intrusted to a
commission Of impartial experts who
would have time to go over these
schedules much more carefully than
any congressional committee could
do. Such body could make re-
port on which congress could base
it's revision bill. With it's necessary
limitations, however, the committee
has probably done a good work.
AS the new congress will be called
in session about the middle of March
by President Taft, the revision bill
will probably be ready to report to
the House day Or two later. All
the present republican members of
the committee have been reelected
except one or two. Their purpose is
to have the revision measure ready,
in it's general outline, by March 4.
The new finishing touches which will
be needed can be made promptly
after the extra session begins. The
revision bill of 1897, the present
Dingley law, was signed by Presi-
dent Mckinley on July "a. 1t is
not expected that such quick work
will be made this time. Thorough
ness and intelligence in the revision
are what is wanted and not speed,
and President Taft and the Ameri-
can people will insist on having
these.
The volume of the country's i'm
ports is double is large as it was
in 1897, and the work of bringing
the schedules into harmony with
the new conditions is much more
difficult than it was then. The news
papers, however, have made a bet
ter study Of the subject than they
had at that time, and they will be
able, with their suggestions to aid
congress. Mr.. Taft has said that it
would be better to leave the tariff
as it is than to have the wrong sort
of revision, and that is how the party
feels about it. Honest revision will
be had, in which the interests of the
worker and the employer, the con-
sumer and the producer, will be kept
constantly in view. The platform
promise Of genuine revision will be
kept, in spirit and in letter.-Globe
