Philadelphia, July 5.-The strike of

Jeffery said he and other leaders
had arrived at the conclusion that the
public is a bigger factor than the
principles at issue between the rail-
roads and the shopmen and that they
have placed their case before General
Atterbury, confident that he will re-
view it and adjust the grievances sat-

NOW DEAD
Democrats Fail to Make Issue of
Old Standby.
Only Perfunctory Reference
Made to Question in Platform.

San Francisco, July 5.-The tariff,
century old issue between the two
leading parties in the United States is
dead as campaign issue. Democratic
leaders declared here today.
That is the reason, they said, the
Democratic platform dismissed the
subject with a simple reaffirmation of
the partyss traditional policy of tariff
for revenue only, and an effort made
by Senator King of Utah, in the reso-
lutions committee to revive the tariff
by adding to the proposed plank the
stipulation that in levying a revenue
tariff no discrimination should be
shown in any section of the country
was defeated. In relegating the tariff
to the background, the Democrats
followed the lead of the Republicans.
who in their platform carried but a
perfunctory reference to a protective
tariff.
Thus the issue which was one of
the underlying causes of the Civil war.
because of the alleged discrimination
in levying and which has been the
battle ground in and out of congress
for years, is out of sight. 1t will never
be revived in the opinion of Demo-
cratic leaders here.
Senator King. who tried to have the
non-discrimination declaration added
to the tariff plank, said today that
the tariff is dead as an issue. because
the financial needs of the government
make it necessary to raise every pos
sible dollar thru the tariff. This
means, King said, that no matter
which party is in power. it will be on
the lookout. for opportunities to put
ron tariff duties. Therefore" con-
tinued King. the Republican protec-
tionists VIII be satisfied because
everything dutia BILE will be taxed and
the Democrats will be satisfied be-
cause they regard the situation as
vindicat ting the doctrine of tariff for
revenue only"

Democrats Could Do More.

ments issued today by Eamonn de VAL

and Frank P. Walsh, vice president of

Rejection of the plank pledging the
Democratic party to the recognition of

it has not yet realized how great is the
volume of public sentiment in this
country behind the demand for Irish
freedom de Valera said.
