keys Of his grand plano, explaining in
bad English as he went. OF course the
man was present who is ever ready to

both hands as If he had just dropped

campaign.

A correspondent to an exchange
makes the following suggestions for a
Democratic platform upon which the
next Congress should be organized.
Congress" he says, ought to be an
aggressive champion of the following
measures:
l. A downward revision of the tar
iff so as to do away with the Govern.
mental protection now given to Al
drich and his allies, and so as to ad.
NIT free Of duty wool, leather, boots
and shoes. wood pulp and paper, coal
binding twine, cotton ties and bag
ging, lumber and iron ore. The pro
tective tarin is the original mother o.
trusts and monopolies. Its abolition

more millions, but it will help the
masses to pile up more of the neces-
stiles and comforts of life. Since the
Civil War the protective tariff has
been the golden hoop that has held the
Republican party's barrel together.
2. An income tax. The national
tax on corporation incomes is a good
law l hope our Supreme Court will
uphold it. But an income tax will
reach many persons who now escape
their just share Of the burdens Of gov
ernment. A tariff for revenue only
should be supplemented by a tax on
incomes. II Mr.. Rockefeller's income
on oil stocks alone is $4,0O0,OO0 a
year, as reported, l think our Govern
ment could properly ask him to pay 10
per cent of that amount to help run
the Government which secures him
the chance to make that income. And
so on. l believe our present Supreme
Court would uphold an income tax,
such as was passed in Mr.. Cleveland's
second term: but for fear it wouiu
not, our next Senator should help Sc
cure the adoption of the proposed in
come tax amendment to our Constitu-
tion And he ought to be right lively
about it, for the amendment is goine
to be bitterly fought.
g. An amendment to the Federal
Constitution requiring the election of
Senators by the people instead of the
Legislature. There is less chance for
corruption and trickery in an election
by the people. A Senator represents
the people of the State; he should be
elected by the people and answer to
the people for all his conduct.
4. A law to stop the Federal Ii
cense of liquor selling in places where
the sale is forbidden by local law. and
to stop Interstate carriers from bring
ing liquors into States where their
sale is forbidden. Every rule of reas
on and Democracy favors such law
and it ought to be enacted at once
There is just as much reason favorine
such law as there was for our pres
ent laws prohibiting interstate car

The expression "watered stock,
which describes so well the expansion

Drew had been a drover in his younger
