ter; the great thing is the carrying

ter; the great thing is the carrying
out of pledges.
When the Democracy carries the
Congressional elections next fall it
will not carry them on the tenets of
its platform alone. The Republicans
saw the handwriting on the wall two
years ago and promised downward re-
vision of the tariff; and in matters of
conservation. the regulation of trans
portation and the control of abuses of
corporate power the avowed position of
the two parties is much the same. But
the Republicans have not moral power
enough to give to the country the
things which they promised; the ma
tion will turn to the Democracy to get
precisely the things it vainly hoped to
realize from the vote of 1908. The Re-
publicans having come to the Demo
cratic position on the tariff, so far as
promises are concerned, the contest is
based upon confidence in moral power
rather than an opinion.
Now the other great fact is that the
opportunity to execute the mandate
given by the people when they go to
the polls next November will not come
at once. Even if Democratic major
ity is elected it cannot organize the
House until December, 1911, unless
President Taft should decide to con.
vene special session at an earlier
date. as he did in case of the present
Congress. Political revolutions move
slowly under the peculiar checks of the
Federal Constitution. and the process
of transferring the Government from
one party organization to another is a
matter involving months of delay. The
most radical upheaval would only suf-
fee to bring Democratic House ttir-
teen months after the election, while
the limit of possibility in the Senate
makes change of control there impos.
sible before March, 1912.
But the American people will not
wait this long for Democracy to prove
its fitness for power Before 1t can
possibly control both houses it will be
on trial. AS soon as the House is or.
ganized with Democratic Speaker
the hour for action will have arrived
and by the time the first session of the
SiXty-second Congress has adjourned
the country will have made up its
mind exactly what measure of conf
dence Democracy is entitled to; and IL
will have formed its opinion mainly
upon the character of.the men in the

special privilege. They are convinced
that the Aldrich-Taft revision did not
break these chains of privilege. The
people want the tariff revised-not by
friends of the tariff. but by friends OF
the people. No real revision is possi-
BILE by the paid attorneys of trusts. In
appealing for votes. therefore, pro-
gressive platform writer's should keen
uppermost this central truth-that 1t
is not struggle between political par
ties at all, but between the people and
the money power.
Let the platforms be simple and d.
rect, going to the root of this nations
greatest economic affection. A trust
controlled tariff is, public enemy, and
the people are ready to fight 1t under
proper leadership. The waving of party
banners will not do this year. The old
battle-cries will not help revival of
national conscience. Besides being
simply stated, the platforms of the
progressives in all States should set
out in clear and precise terms that the
battle between men and money knows
no sectional bounds.
The Latest Tariff Joke.
Until recently the province of Que
bee has charged an export tax of 25
cents cord on pulpwood cut from
crown lands. Under the Aldrich-Taft
tariff, which its sponsors claimed
would humble Canada, countervail-
ing import duty of 35 cents per ton
was charged on paper made in Que
bee from pulpwood cut from crown
lands. A few days ago Quebec dropped
the export tax in question and enacted
IA law prohibiting export of pulpwood
from. crown lands. The Aldrich-Taft
tariff abolished the countervailing i'm
port duty of IS cents per ton of pa
per. The Aldrich-Taft tariff answer
to 25-cent export tax was a 35-cent
import tax. The Aldrich-Taft tariff
answer to prohibition of export is the
abolition of the 35-cent import tax.
Such is the masterpiece of states
manship which has repeatedly been de.
clared the best tariff ever produced,
sure means of effective retaliation
against all other countries and a key
to open to the United States all tho
markets of the world. Thus does tho
