DEMOCRATS TARIFF PLANS
SPELL "MOOSE" TRIUMPH
Progressive President in 1916,
Prediction of Members of
Party's Executive Body.

The executive committee Of the Pro-
gressive National Committee completed
its work yesterday. Privately some of the
committee. OF which George W. Perkins
is chairman. expressed the belief that the
WAY in which the Democratic party is
handling the tariff problem would mean
the election of a Progressive President in
1916
1t is really not necessary for the Pro-
gressives to confer at all. said the genial
William Finn. of Pennsylvania. All we
have to do is to sit tight. The Republic
can party is a thing OF the past and the
Democratic party has already started 20
90 10 pieces
In formal statement given out by the
committee it was declared that there was
no possibility of any amalgamation or
combination with either Of the Old
Tory parties
Discussing the tariff. the statement held
that the only way 10 make an honest
revision was through a tariff commission
such as was appointed 10y President TAFT
The statement said in part:
The method by which this Democratic
party at this moment is handling The
tariff is precisely the method that has
given rise TO abuses in the past me
method that insures preference To special
influences and prevents a genuine nom
partisan tariff commission with ample
power to find out and report upon the
facts whose duty it shall be 10 lay be
fore Congress the information without
which Congress cannot act intelligently,
and which offers the only way of remedy
ing the abuses that have grown into our
tariff policy.
The Progre ssive party believes 10 a
protectixe tariff which shall equalize con
ditions of competition between the United
States and foreign countries both for the
farmer and the manufacturer. and which
maintains for labor an adequate standard
Of living. Already We see under the Dem
ocrats the same secret preparation Of
schedules that obtained under the Repio-
leans under the Payne Aldrich bill.
Already We see the same revolt among
certain members Of the House and Sen
ate against schedules and the necessary
yelled Implication that patronage VIII he
be given or withheld accordingly as IT
is necessary 10 bring these men back INTO
line. The organization Of the House has
been DELAYED for the purpose OF influence
ing men to vote as the leaders demand
under the fear Of not obtaining recogni-
ton on important committees.
