Democrats Had PLATFORM;
These Men Had Private One

Look into the thing for yourself
The Democratic party had a plat
form, but these gentlemen had a
little private platform OF their own,
in which they undertook to say. how
the Democratic party in the State
should do the thing which the Demo-
cratic party all over the State had
promised to do; and because you
elected them as Democrats they told
me today that you also voted for
their private platform. Did you?
(Cries of no, no) Don't you want
the Democratic party to be an eff
cient party for giving the people
what they demand, and don't you
want these men to embark their for
tunes with the great party which is
not trying to serve the whole United
States? Very well, then tell them so,
and tell them SO out loud. SO there
can not be any mistake about It.
IT have not come here to speak
what is not in my heart, the least
bitterness or the least criticism
against these men personality think
they have done a mistaken thing in
some respects. but then, like every
man who has reached my years OF
discretion, 1 look back upon the occa-
sions when alse made mistakes,
and the best friends 1 ever had were
those who most emphatically told me
that l had made mistake. And the
best friendship you can show for
men who are not pursuing the prac-
ticable course of action to get what
the people desire is to tell them that
they are not pursuing the right
course. whatever their right purposes
may be.
''And so I am here tonight to plead
with you to help us to see that the
special session of the Legislature
which convenes next week does not
end in disappointment and failure,
but in the accomplishment Of the
great purposes for which it is called
together That is what we had a
conference about this afternoon and
this morning, and / think I can tell
you that things are going to shape
themselves and the party is going to
get together.

Has Constantly to Remind Self
He's No Longer in N. J. Govt

''I have constantly to remind my
self, so brief is the interval since
moved away from New Jersey, that
1 am not part of the government of
New Jersey, and that therefore it is
not my business to make specific sug-
gestions in public. 1 have a little
plan of my own. But am not going
to initiate the example Of the num-
erous gentlemen who have little plans
of their own. 1 am perfectly willing
to take any workable plan that ac-
complishes the substantial object we
have in view and any sensible patri-
otto men ought to be equally willing
to do that thing. RS
Now. what is it that the Demo-
cratic party is expected to do? Is
there a Democratic criminal justice
in the United States? Is there Re-
publican criminal justice in the
United States? Is there Bull Moose
criminal justice in the United States?
Is justice measured by the standards
of party difference? Why. what Is
the subject that we are talking
about?
"It is the very heart and core of
human liberty. It is the central OBJ
ject for which society was estab-
lished. Society was established to see
to It that every man had the same
chance that every other man had
and that he was treated as every
other man would be treated.
"And so We are not dealing with a
party question here at all. We have
gone back to the rudiments of human
society and the supreme test which
the Democratic party has now to re-
spond to is this: Is it ready to give
the citizens Of New Jersey the final
guarantee of disinterested justice.
Did you ever hear bigger question
than that stated? Is there any sus-
| picion of fraud, that equal justice is
not administered in the United
| states? II there is such suspicion
who ought Of all others to remove it:

Trainers Of Constitution Sought
to Discourage Citizens, He Says

And some constitution makers,
among the rest those who made the
New Jersey constitution under which
we now live, were of the opinion
that the people ought to be discour-
aged from changing their own gov
eminent by having it made so diff
cult for them that they would get
tied up In a hard knot If they tried
1t. ! say let us cut that knot, not
with any sword of irregular pro-
cedure, but by means Of a constitu-
tional convention to look this in
strument over and suggest changes
which may modify 1t in the interests
of simplicity and directness of popu-
lar control.
Now, YOU know what stands in
the way Why, you do. Hudson
County Is one Of the most populous
counties in the State, and Hudson Is
inclined to say, oh. no, viii go into
this scheme il you viii promise that
Hudson shall be proportionately rep
resented in the Senate as well as in
the House of Assembly, but ii is not
fair that Hudson should not have
any more members in the Senate
than one of the less populous coun-
ties of the State or the least popu-
lous county in the State.
Are you going to stick on that?
Are you going to insist that your
representatives stand for that to the
point of making 1t impossible for you
to get at anything else in the Com
stitutioh? Aren't you going to be big
and generous and say We will yield

Governmental Machinery Run

that l did not see how to run ma
chine that you could not start with
out moving a hundred cranks at once,

had only two hands, and that a real
mechanical genius such as character
ICES this country would show US how
to make a machine that one crank
started and controlled and therefore,
was in favor of a simplified gov
eminent where we could find the men
who were responsible.
NOW, l am In favor of the same
kind Of principle of government by
the State, and we have Constltu-
ton which they say is more simple
in its arrangement than the Consti-
tutions Of some of our sister States.
Nevertheless, 1t Is obscured by scat
tering responsibility in way which
makes 1t very difficult for the people
of this commonwealth to govern their
affairs. And therefore 1 came up to
suggest to you that after you get
jury reform, which you are going TO
get, you insist upon having Con-
stitutional convention, IL only for
the satisfaction Of having a look at
the inside Of your own affairs.
"a great many learned and ac-
complished gentlemen are rising in
their places to protest against the
modern rebellion against Constitu-
lions. I have not observed any re-
bellion against Constitutions. I be-
lieye as profoundly as any man can
believe in the ordered course of gov
eminent under definite constitutional
regulations, but l do not regard 1t as
rebellion against Constitutions to de-
sire Constitutions that we can work
I do not regard it as a reaction
against constitutional government
that we should desire to simplify re-
sponsibility and put the people more

is to leave the tax the same as now
on snuff, cigars and cigarettes, IN
crease the rates on manufactured TO-

Drugs in Disfavor.

Evidently Mr.. Underwood and his
colleagues are opposed to the use OF
drugs and medicines in disease. The
common balsams-copaiva, fir, toiu'
etc.-which are the base of SO MANY
home remedies, have been on the free
list in all previous tariffs. Under the
Underwood bin they will all be sub
ject to tax of 10 per cent, as VIII
ergot. saffron and other useful and
popular herbs and remedies hereto
fore admitted free.
Such oils as sweet almond, peanut,
amber, anise see, bergamot, citro-
nella, camomile, caraway, cedrat,
civet, fennel, jasnin, juniper,
lavender, rosemary, thyme and
valerian, now and heretofore free,
will have to pay 200 per cent. duty. The
idea. Of a tariff for revenue may eX-
plain this, but it does not explain
why oil of lines, heretofore free,
should pay 20 per cent, while oil OF
lemons and oil OF oranges, also free
under the Dingley law, are to be
taxed only 10 per cent.
The question of what are luxuries
and what are necessities also sug-
gests itself again when one reads
that the duties on all watch and
clock Jewels are to be left at 10 per
cent, as now. while on all watches
and clocks, regardless of their value,
and on all watch and clock move
ments, the rate is to be cut from 81
to so per cent.
One also wonders by what course
of revenue tariff or competitive tariff
reasoning. whatever, the latter may
be, the committee decided to leave
the Dingley duty on figs unchanged
but doubled the duty on dates, re-
duced grapefruit from 40 to 20 per
cent, oranges from 20 to 40 per cent.
lines from So to 40 per cent, lemons
from -6S 70 "a per cent. and pine
apples from Is to 70 per cent, and
put a duty of cent a pound or
cocoanut, which heretofore has beer
! free.
Another Tariff Puzzle.
1t is also a puzzle why, on the
theory of making the wealthy pa3
the taxes, the duty should have beer
increased on ale, beer and porter and
left the same on malt extracts
brandy, cordials, bay rum and cham
payne, while on cherry and prun'
juice it is boosted from 6s to SS pei
cent
The Payne-Aldrich bill listed CHINA
mon, cloves, ginger, mace. nutmeg

ties, and put them on the free list

Considering that the Republican
party went out of power because of
Nts failure to reduce the Dirsley
AAtes, it is rather surprising to find
so\many items in the Underwood bill
on Which the rates of the Dingiey law
remain the same or are increased.

tariff Is intended to hit body blow at
the tobacco trust. How it is intended
