accompanied on the trip TO North Lib
erty and Walkerton D. democratic
nominees for county Offices, several Of
whom also gave shurt talks at each
Of the meetings.
In his addresses Mr.. MilbuTn COW
cred many points of the democratic
administration which have been at
tackled by its opponents. The sub
stance of the talks proved he misrep-
resentatiOn OF the prOpriety Of sew
eral important laws which have been
passed by democratic legislation. In
referring 10 the Wilson tariff law and
its benefits compared with past
statutes of the same nature. Mr.. Mill
burn said:
Party Has Kept Faith.
What accounting can the demo-
cratic party render of its steward
ship? What proof can it make that
IL has kept the faith? In the first
place it has given the people the best
tariff law since the Walker tariff OF
1916. The only tariff law in that time
that was not written by the special in
terests. No tariff law ever did more
for the farmer, the business man or
the labOring man. No class was dis
eliminated against. JeffersOn's policy
OF Equal and exact justice TO all men,
of whatever state or persuasion, spe-
cial privileges TO none was followed
out
Where duties have been removed
or reduced on one product of the
farms they were removed or reduc-
cd on five or six manufactured arti-
cles at the same time. Many reduc-
tons on things we have TO buy have
already come and many more would
have come by this time had it not
been for the European war, which,
not even the Wise men of the east
could foresee. 1t will be recognized
by every fair thinking man as an hon
est effort on the part Of the demo- !
cratic party TO relieve the people from
unjust burdens and unequal cOndi- |
tons, without inflicting injury upon
any honest business.
THE making Of the tariff by the
consumer was a new departure in
legislation. The Mckinley bill, the
Dingley bill, the PayneAldrich bill.
and in fact every tariff enacted byl
the republicans. were by their very
nature rank determinations against
the interests of the farmer, the Ia
bOrer and the small business man, be-
cause in the main. the price of the
products of farm and labor are de-
termined in the marts of the world.
The surplus of our farms goes to 9TH
er countries and is determined by the
law of supply and demand.
NO tariff bill can protect you in
the thing YOU sell abroad. But the
consumer was turned over by the re-
publican tariff policies. bound and
GAGGED to have his pocket picked and
his Taiment stolen by the tariff barOns

Spawo of that sort of a system. The !
poor mans necessities were taxed |
higher and the rich mans profits |
were multiplied 1t was the old game |
