"For more than that length of

tive tariff is not merely unwise as
an economic measure, but that it is
utterly unconstitutional and admits
the economic soundness of protec-
tion when it speaks of the benc-

Smoot said Senator Pittman, of
Nevada, chairman of the resolutions
committee which drew up the Demo
cratic platform, places a different
Interpretation upon its tariff plank
than the New York World, which
he calls the chief of the party.
Smoot said Pitman understands
that Democratic views on the tariff
have been undergoing an evolution
since 1900 until it now stands for
protection while the New York
World believes the party's stand at
present is much the same as it was
in 1894 when it campaigned for
