Democratic newspapers and Demo

port Of the tariff commission upon the
cotton schedule as evidence that the
Democratic party has been right In
its contention for lower duties. so
far they are on solid ground. but
what becomes OF their notorious dis
position to ignore the tariff commits
sion and starve that body out OF ex-
istence If they cannot get rid OF II
in any other way? And how snaii
they justify their attempts to push
forward arbitrary and comparatively
ignorant revisions OF other schedules
upon which the tariff commission has
thrown no light. while they hold back

the tariff commission Is an indictment
OF the Democratic leaders who refuse

a Democrat cites the tariff commits
sion as authority for saying that the
duties on certain staples ought to be
reduced he proves that the leaders
and representatives Of his party are
altogether wrong In their antagonism
and hostility to the commission.
The truth is that the tariff commits

H. Is highly probable that the old
soldiers would rather have something
than nothing and, since the Sherwood
bill is impossible at this session. they
would be willing to accept the Smoot
bill, or a compromise between the two.
But the Democratic house is intent on
making record for political purposes
and the interests Of the veterans are
secondary. In other words. the old SOL
