Tho Democratic pasty of the Un•
ited States may be a free trade
party, but the following plank in
its platform shows that there is
about as much differeuce between
Democrats and Republicans on the
tariff question as there is between
tweedledum and tweed ledee. Hate
is the Democratic plank referred to:
"We declare that all articles the
like of which can not be successfully
produced in this country, together
with all raw material not coming into
injurious competition witb the pro-
ducts of the farm, should be placed
upon the free list; and that the
burdens of taxation should be re-
moved from the necessaries and im-
posed upon the luxuries of life."
Then here is a Republican plank :
"We declare in favor of the pro-
tective tariff, the beneficent influence
of which has been felt throughout
the length and breadth of the land,
and has made the hum of machinery
fill the air with the gladsome tidings
of reawakening; prosperity. Under
the influences of this system, from a
Nation largely dependent upon
foreign countries for many of the
necessaries of life, the United States
