AS TO MINoRITIEs

Senator Underwood, was a strong
contender for cloture in the Senate
His argument for transferring this
instrument Of political oppression to
the Senate, where. from the beginning
free speech has ruled and has greatly
benefited the country. was that "the
Senate f. distinctly a minority body
10 does not represent a majority OF
the people Of the country" II Mr..
Underwood was thinking Of himself
and Of his own State. he Is absolutely
correct. For he does not represent
anything like a majority OF the
people Of Alabama. lie was elected

AS A MATTER OF BUSINESS

The tariff is a business and not a
political question" is a contention Of
many who sympathize with the Demo-
cratic view OF free trade. II is the
shibboleth OF those negative protec-
uonists who are promoting the prop
uganda for a tariff commission-for
a scientifically constructed tariff,
whatever that may mean. II il Is a
business question. then the Democrat
&c party is not TO be trusted with
either its revision or construction, on
account of its incapacity in dealing
with the business of the country as
well as the business OF government.
The Republican party has so ordered
its tariff schedules that its legislation
on this subject has been helpful to
business and promotive of industrial
prosperity. Therefore. as a business
proposition. the Republican party has
proved itself to have been successful.
contrawise. the Democratic party has
shown itself to have been incompetent
and destructive OF business and in
dustry instead Of constructive.
Nothing has been shown TO be clear.
er than that the protective principle
has been vital factor in any pros
perity we have enjoyed. and that the
free trade policies OF the Democracy
have been the inviting causes OF our
periods OF depression and financial
disaster. The Republicans have al
ways gone about tariff making in a
business way. The Democrats have
always treated 81 in an uneconomic
