Miss Democracy.


Oscar Underwood is the man Of the
hour He will never be the man of his
day. But if he should climb the steeple
of Protection. on the pinnacle of which
he belongs, he will be the very next
President. and will be labeled Demo
cratic The tariff bill that should bear
his name nevertheless is not protec-
tive enough to suit him.
This new tariff law is bound to be
the temporary undoing of the Demo-
cratic partys He who shrieks protec-
ton the loudest during the next four
years surely will be heard. He will be
the next President. whether he be tag
ged Elephant Bull Moose" or
Donkey"
Truth to say. the American people
never have really wanted free trade.
They have so long been robbed that
they will continue to rob one another
and many generations yet unborn.
This new tariff law is an infamous
measure. And so is every tariff law
Absolute freedom of trade is the only
true philosophy of commerce. whether
among persons or among nations; and
in time this truth will be universally
conceded.
However. the Democratic party. like
a maiden known to fame. Is somewhat
Ivirtuous. 1t does rot pretend that the
rev tariff law is meant to provide rev.
