ATTACK TARIFF IN
PLATFORM; COMMEND GOV. DIX

Tho platform adopted by the Democratic
State Convention follows:
The Democracy OF the State Of New
York, In convention assembled. reanlrms
its belief that most Of the evils in the pun
lie life OF the country spring from inc eN-
actions Of the present ni4uitous taTlH law
under which monopoly H. fostered, conp'-
tition is destroyed, waste and eNtraI aSahCe
In public expenditures are encouraged, me
prices OF the necessAries OF lie Increased
out OF all proportion to the earning ca
pacity OF the people, and the Fundamentals
virtues Of economy and honesty nave ueen
banished from the public service.
We heartily indorse and ratty the &C
ton OF the Democratic majority IN inc
House Of Representatives in their repeated
efforts for the reduction OF the tariff SEIZED
ules, and we denounce the action OF Prcsi-
dent Taft In vetoing the tariff bills SUB
United g. him IN August last.
We charge the President and the Repuo-
Iican party with gross deceit Of the people
when. I'm 1905 they secured power by proul-
Using "a revision OF the tariff. The country
understood this promise to mean that there
was TO be a downward revision. but the
President hardly had been inaugurated
when revision was made, with his con
sent and approval. which instead or re
ducing the schedules. increased the tari0
on over six hundred articles Used by the
American consumer
We believe the tariff should be revised

by thoS" who profit by It's eNacuohs, ana
that its main purpose should he 10 raise
for the government a substantial share OF
the revenue necessary for the public ser
vice when economically and honestly ad-
ministered. In the interest Of the people
OF the country. We demand nm immediate
downward revision of the tarin. thus re
moving the gross inequalities now existing
and relieving tho people from tho burden
Of high prices which now Cypress them
