would be laid on the tariff plank that
will declare for tariff for revenue
only The democratic house of rep
resentatives will be commended for
its work in the downward revision of
the tariff schedules, and the party
will be pledged to continue its labors
along that line. The referendum and
recall will be endorsed as permanent
measures; but the carrying out of
these plans of government will be
relegated to the party in the various
states. Planks strongly endorsing
an income tax, the direct election of
