The leading plank Of the platform
adopted by thu Democratic national
convention at Baltimore calls for an
immediate downward revision of the
tariff, On this subject the platform
says:
The Tariff Reform.
I'VE declare it to be fundamental
principle Of the Democratic party
that the federal government under
the Constitution has no right or pow
er to impose or collect tariff duties
except for the purpose of revenue
/ and we demand that the collection Of
| such taxes shall be limited to the ne
cessities Of government honestly and
| economically administered.
The high Republican tariff is the.
principal cause of the unequal distri-
button of wealth; it Is a system of
taxation which makes the rich richer
and the poor poorer; under its opera
/ lions the American farmer and labor
| ing man are the chief sufferers; it
raises the cost of the necessities of
| life to them, but does not protect their
product or wages"
The action of President Taft in We
toing the bills to reduce the tariff in
the cotton, wooden, metals and chem
! icaIs schedules and the farmers free
| list bills is denounced.
Issue is taken with the Republican
platform and much of the present high
| cost of living is laid to the high tariff
/ laws.
Antitrust Law.
The platform declares that a pri-
vate monopoly is indefensible and in
toIerable and says:
/ I'VE therefore favor the vigorous
| enforcement Of the criminal as well
as the civil law against trusts and
trust officials, and demand enactment
of such additional legislation as may
be necessary to make it impossible for
a private monopoly to exist in the
United States"
"The action of the Republican adj
ministration in compromising with
/ the Standard Oil company and the to.
| baccO trust and it's failure to invoke
the criminal provisions of the anti
! trust law against the officers of those
corporations after the court had de-
clared that from the undisputed facts
| in the record they had violated the
criminal provisions Of the law is de
nounced.
I'VE regret that the Sherman anti
trust law has received a judicial con
struction depriVing it of much of its
efficiency and we favor the enactment
| Of legislation which will restore to
the statute the strength Of which it
has been deprived by such interpre-
tation."
The platform urges people to sup
/ port proposed constitutional amend
ments, providing for an income tax
and election of United States sena-
tors by direct vote of the people. As
/ justification of the demands of the
party for publicity of campaign ex-
/ penditures, attention is directed ''to

in behalf OF the president and his

GIFFORD'S RECORD.
