Good Democratic Record.

The tariff is only part of the Un-
derwood revenue law. In reducing
taxes on consumption, Of which the
consumer pays far more than the gov
ernment receives, and substituting q
tax on incomes, which falls on the
well-to-do in proportion to their ability
to contribute to the support Of the gov
ernment, the Democratic party has
been true to its promises, faithful to
its traditions and guided by the best
opinion Of expert economists. The law
provided not only sufficient revenue
but a surplus that covered the years
costs Of the Panama canal. until tho
great war disarranged our industries
and interfered radically with our i'm
ports.
The federal reserve barking system
now has few critics. Financial opin-
ion Is very generally warm in its COM
mendation of reform Of the currency,
the need of which was repeatedly
pressed by the business world upon
Republican congresses, but always
pressed in vain The Republicans
evaded their duty; the Democrats did
1t, and did it uncommonly well.

established and precedents set by the
first president, and excepting only the
more serious war periods we have
been through. no president has had
difficulties even remotely approaching
those with which Mr.. Wilson has had
to contend.
With due regard for the unprece-
dented difficulties and embarrassments
of the time, President Wilson and the
Democratic party have discharged
their respective duties with a high
intelligence, a broad comprehension,
and an eye single to the interests and
the duties Of the American nation.
