"a TarIR for Revenue Only

To the Editor OF The Times Dispatch
S!r.-fou claim, as I understand It,
that the Democratic party should
adopt a single plank for its pla tform-
that of "a taritf for revenue only
and upon that plank alone 1t can
win"
The average man does not like such
statement, either by u political party
or by an Individual. For instance,
take an individual. say, merchant.
How would 1t sound to the public for
him to advertise his wares and say
that he was in business for revenue
only? Wouldn't it sound as though
he wanted to get all of the money pos
sible out of his wares, regardless of
the public? On the other hand, sup
pose another merchant advertised his
wares and said that he was in business
to protect his family from want, to
give 1T sustenance a comfortable liv-
ing. IL possible. Who would dare place
mercenary construction to such an
advertisement?
Now. should nation nil Its Golfers
with all the money possibIe?-and this
1t would have to do under tariff for
revenue only-take in all the money It
can, from all corners. without any cor
responding benefit to its people?
Should our nation advertise that II
is in business for revenue only3
Shouldn't 1t rather proclaim that IL
is the duty OF the government to OK
tend It's protecting arm around all its
people?
No, Mr.. Editor, the Democratic pavty
should get away from that doctrine of
tariff for revenue only" Say to II:
Get thee behind me. Satan"
