''We have no desire or intention to
make this question a matter of par
tisanship or a party issue. We re-
cognize the splendid work which
many of the citizens of oppol ite poll
tical faiths have rendered to the
state on the issue, but we assert that
the interests of Arizona will be safe
if entrusted to the candidates of the
Democratic party.
THE TARIFF
"'We denounce the Republican Tariff
laws which are written in great part
in aid of monopolies and thus pre-
vent that reasonable exchange of
commodities which would enable for
eign countries to buy our surplus
agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts with resultant benefits to the
toilers and producers of America
Trade Interchange, on the basis of
reciprocal advantages to the coun-
tries participating, is a time honored
doctrine of Democratic faith. We
declare our party,s position to be in
favor of tax on commodities enter
ing the customs houses that will pro-
mote effective competition, protect
against monopoly and at the same
time produce fair revenue to sup
port the government
"The quotation from the Demo-
cratic National Platform of 1924 has
our hearty concurrence and support.
Arizona has more to lose and less to
gain than any other state under the
Republican protective tariff scheme
Our greatest single industry is cop
per mining. The market for that
metal is world wide and the exports
of copper from the United States
vastly exceed the quantitv imported.
Our chief concern is to find a de-
mand for our urplus copper in
foreign countries. Under such condi-
tions no a a~~reciable revenue and no
real protection can possibly be Sc
cured by customs duty imposed on
imported "copper"
''In the face of the self evident fact
that even a prohibitive tariff will not
increase the price of copper the Re-
publican party in Arizona for a tenn
porary political effect, is now advo-
CdIlIIS COppcI Cdrlll IL C1lS pro-
posal is made in good faith why has
it been so long delayed? Why did the
Republican party leave copper on the
free list when the Fordney-M McCum-
Der tariff law was enacted in 1922, at
a time when the copper mining indus
try was suffering from a most seri-
Gus depression? Why have the min
ers and smelter men of Arizona been
deprived of the alleged benefits of
such a tariff during the past four
years?
"The people of Arizona will not be
deceived by such obvious political
trickery. They know that the promise
of a copper tariff, which would be
