Plague and famine sweeps China.
Known deaths from the plague num-
Der 10000, and, according to official
statistics, the death rate averages 200
daily. Several thousand die every day
of famine. But the officials have little
knowledge of the conditions in the

1t is impossible even to estimate the
number of deaths that have resulted
from lack of food DR.. Samuel Coch
ran, an American, who is engaged in
the work OF relief, writes:

be scanty, because the people have
not the strength to till the soil. and nc

things the farmer must buy, as
we'll as revision upward on the
things he produces!
This is the keynote of the DEM
ocratic reciprocity and tariff pro.
gram. 1t differs radically from
the reciprocity program contem-
plated by the Republicans, which
was: Greater downward revision
on the products of the farmers
than on The products of the trusts.
Here are the articles that viii go
on the free list under the Demo-
cratic program, each of which
would have remained heavily
taxed under the Republican pro-
gram: Lumber, dressed meats
and meat products, flour, boots
and shoes, sewing machines, sad
dies and saddlery, wire fencing,
baling wire, cotton hagging and
ties, burlaps and agricultural inn
plements, including plows, har-
rows, reapers, binders and now
ers.
/ This is nota!l Of the Democratic
program for the extra session.
Following as soon as possible
after the passage of the reciproc-
ity and free list bills, the tariff
will be revised downward on
wooden and cotton goods.
The articles in these schedules
on which the greatest reductions
will be made will be blankets,
underwear, and mems, women's
and children's clothing. The
Democratic idea contemplates the
placing OF the lowest tax Oh the
cheaper grades of wearing APP
parel used by the poor. Under
the Payne Aldrich law articles
used principally by the poor are
taxed twicaas much as the higher
priced articles used by the rich,
In addition to reciprocity and
tariff revision downward will
come bills providing for the direct
election Of United States senators
Publicity of campaign contribu-
tiuns before instead of after elee
ton, and separate statehood fol
