that western jobbers have booked lib

LETTER FROM PROF. DOD6E
3lunders you must excuse.


II is rash to attempt a forecast OF
the general result, when it is impos-
sible to tell where any individual
stands unless one hears from him d.
rect. One point is settled, that there
is to be an extensive party realign-
ment, because the living issues are
so different from those of the past.
1t is worthy CT notice that, with all
the bitterness of at least one OF the
nominating campaigns, the people as
a whole are less divided than usual.
Some of the most exciting presiden-
tlal primaries did not bring out half
of the party vote. The majority re-
fused to be excited. This is because
the divisions are personal rather
than based upon principles.
A word to conjure by is now
"Progressiveness." / do not know of
any public man or private citizen who
will admit that he is not a progress
sive. or course the changed condi-
tions of society and business call for
some modification If law and govern
mental policy. This is progressive
ness. The American people probably
were never SO nearly unanimous up
on one point as in the belief that we
need such regulation of the monied
interests as will secure large oppor-
tunity for the masses of the people.
The country is in no danger from
the rext presidential election. The
platforms Of the three parties sup
posed to be in the lead are innocent
documents. If some things of doubt
full expediency are promised, never
mind. Platforms are bats for voters
more than charts TO guide those elect
ed. The personnel OF the candidates
is now of more importance than us
ual. Which will BIO the most consclen-
tious and prudent2
Fortunately all are able and ex-
perienced. All have the strongest in
TO advance the general in
terest of the people. If We accept
the predictions of those managing
the campaigns, then the Democratic
candidate is to have the unanimous
vote of the electoral college. 1t won't
be so. But If it should approach that
the heavens will not fall. We should
have Chief Magistrate of large in
requirements. varied ex-
perience, tried fidelity, high moral
and Christian character, and courage
to stand against Tammany II need be.
1t might teach the Republicans a les
con of charity to have such a Demo-
cratic President for four years.

TARIFF AND BusINEss

nation 10 the Presidency, Governor
Wilson said Of the tariff.
TARIFF AND BUSINESS
The tariff question as dealt with
in our time at any rate, has not
been business. 1t has been politics.
Tariff schedules have been made up
for the purpose CT keeping as large
a number as possible of the rich and
influential manufacturers of the coun-
Try in a coed humor with the Repub-
lican party, which desired their cons
tant financial support. The tariff has
become a system of favors, which
the phraseology Of the schedule was
often deliberately contrived to con-
ceal. 1t becomes q matter of bust
ness, of legitimate business, only
when the partnership and understand
iug it represents is between the
leaders of Congress end the whole
people Of the United States, instead
Of between the leaders of Congress
and small groups of manufacturers
demanding special recognition and
consideration.
THAT is why the general idea Of
representative government becomes q
necessary part of the tariff question.
Who, when you come down TO the
hard facts of the matter, have been
represented in recent years when our
tariff schedules were being discussed
and determined, not on the floor
of Congress, for that is not where
they have been determined. but in
the committee rooms and the con-
ferences? That is the heart of the
whole affair. VIII you, can you, bring
the whole people into the partnership
or not? No one is disconnected with
representative government; it falls
under the question only when It
ceases to be representative. It is at
bottom a question of good faith and
morals.
POLICY OF PROTECTION
''How does the present tariff looh
in the light of it? / say nothing for
the moment about the policy of pro-
lection, conceived and carried out as
a disinterested statesman might con-
ceive it. Our OWE clear conviction as
Democrats is, that in the last analy-
sis the only safe and legitimate OBJ
Ject Of tariff duties, as of taxes If
every other kind is to raise revenue
for the support Of the Government;
hut that is not my present point.
I'VE denounce the Payne-Aldrich
tariff act as the most conspicuous ex-
ample ever afforded the country Of
the special favorS and menopolistlc
advantages which the leaders of the
Republican party have so often shown
themselves willing to extend TO those
to whom they looked for campaign
contributions. Tariff duties, as they
have employed them, have not been
a means Of setting up an equitable
system of protection. They have
been, on the contrary, a method OF
fostering special privilege. They have
made 1t easy to establish monopoly
in our domestic markets. Trusts have
owed their origin and their secure
power to them. The economic free
dom of our people, our prosperity in
trade, our uLtrammeled energy in
manufacture, depend upon our recon-
sideration from top to bottom in an
entirely different spirit.
