DON'T WANT TRUTH KNOWN
Killing Of Tariff Commission Shows
Where Democratic Party Stands
on tho Question.

The tariff board has gone out Of
existence because the Democrats con-
trolling the house of representatives
have refused to furnish money for its
necessary expenses. Unable to abol-
ish the board by direct legislation,
they have destroyed 1t by cutting OF
its legitimate support.
This board did nothing but good.
1t served the country with zeal and
effect. The information 1t gathered
and the recommendations 1t made
showed that its purpose was honest
and intelligent. 1t supplied the facts
which congress needed-and still
needs-to make Intelligent action
upon the tariff possible.
The indirect killing of this board.
which had no other function than
the gathering and systematic presen-
tation of information about the tariff
question, shows that the men in con-
troll OF the Democratic majority in
the house of representatives do not
want the country or congress to have
full and reliable knowledge of the
facts bearing upon tariff revision. 1t
proves that the masters of the Demo
cratic party prefer to keep the people
In ignorance. as far as possible, con-
corning the conditions of production.

Democratic Incompetence.

In no way has the present congress
exhibited more clearly its incapacity
and irresponsibility than in the scan.
dalous sighting of its duty to keep
the machinery of the government in
running order. 1t has played cheap
politics with the army, the navy. the
judiciary and the classified service.
and recently decided to take virtual
three weeks recess without thought
of the inconvenience which would re-
suit when the new year began with
no appropriations available with
which to pay wages or salaries. This
congress has sat long and absolutely
worn out its welcome. 1t could do
nothing more acceptable now than to
pass the delayed appropriation bills
and time disappear from Washington.

Great Foreign Trade.

The imports of merchandise In June
were nearly s26, ,00O, 900 larger than the
imports Of May 1911 The rate of in.
crease in that part Of the foreign trade
Of the country was about twenty per
cent.
In the same month the gain in ex
ports over the like part OF last year
was more than $22.o0O,0O0. The rate
Of expansion was about thirteen per
cent. The total foreign commerce OF
the United States, not including bull
lion and money, showed gain OF
$4S,000.000. In round figures, which
means an increase of about seventeen
per cent
The fine growth is over the record
Of month Of large and fast-increasine
traffic with foreign countries. 1t is
evidence Of remarkable and alto
gether natural development Of the ex.
ports and imports Of the United States
Both broke all records for May, and
there is every indication that both
will continue to surpass all former
traffic with the outside world.
This is one of the many hopeful
signs Of the times in business. 1t is
one Of the proofs that the country is
going to enjoy great and growing
prosperity-if 1t is given a fair chance
by its own public of1cials and its poll.

Simply Party Of Destruction.

The Democratic platform is outspok-
en- on the tariff! 1t opposes the pro-
tective principle altogether. The
American doctrine of protection to
American industry Is not good enough
for the Democratic party. 1t Is in
favor of tariff for revenue only. Not
in the slightest degree for protection.
The people can never vote for the can
didates Of q party which has no pro
gramme whatever except the pro
gramme Of destruction Of American in

WILL BE HARD CHOICE
WILSON DECIDEDLY ON THE
HORNS OF A DILEMMA.
Wording Of Tariff Plank Of Demo-
cratic Platform Seemingly Allows
Him Only to Choose Which
Fraud He viii lndorse,

II will be interesting to see how
Governor Wilson in his campaign will
treat the tariff principles of his party
platform. 1t would be more interest
ing, though painful, to see, If he be-
came president, what would happen
from an attempt to carry them out.
The platform starts out with a
declaration OF faith like that of the
gentlemen who met in Montgomery
in 1861 to draft a Confederate con-
, stitution, forbidding duties except for
revenue. Not having any such direc-
tion In the American constitution.
however, the Democrats perforce read
1t in. The platform says:
I'VE declare 1t to be fundamental
principle of the Democratic party that
the federal government under the
constitution has no right or power to
impose or collect tariff duties, except
for the purpose of revenue"
If it is unconstitutional to levy
duties for protective purposes. In the
opinion of any administration or
party, that administration or party
will OF course rigidly refrain from
giving its tariff policy any taint Of
protection So II the Democrats win
It Ia obvious that the tariff will be
readiusted on strict revenue basis.
duties being levied on articles which
will produce the greatest return, re-
gardless OF their production or nom
production here and of the effect OF
their exclusion or admission on do
mestic industry. ANY other course
would be unconstitutional in their
opinion, and they wouldn't violate the
constitution. But hold A little later
in the platform we read that 'our
system OF tariff taxation is intimate
ly connected with the business of the
country" We see promises of legis-
lation which will not injure legiti-
mate industry, of reduced duties on
the pecessaries of life. and an offer
to defer for ultimate attainment" the
system Of revenue duties held to be
prescribed by the constitution.
Now, If protective duties are un-
constitutional how can they be main
tanned, even for a time? Does DR..
Wilson think that obedience to the
constitution can be deferred at con-
venience, SO long as conscience is
salved with the thought of ultimate
attainment" Of obedience? The pro-
gram mapped out by the platform.
like the measures passed by the pres
ent Democratic house OF representa-
tives, is clearly and fagrantly uncon-
stitutional If duties for any ibut
revenue purpose are unconstitutional.
Do the Democrats II they come into
power mean really to destroy all pro-
tective duties? II SO. why don't they
honestly say SO and let the indus
tries of the country know what to
expect! Or do they intend to give
such measure of protection as pol
itical expediency seems to them to
require? II SO, why do they make
declaration of vital constitutional
principle which they know is a hum
bug and which they do not mean to
observe! Which fraud are they en-
deavoring to practise?
