A Democrat who is a Democi

cial privileges conferred by govci

This makes him?
First?Opposed to high protecti
tariffs which enrich the manufaetui
at the expense of the consumer. F
more than a generation a majority
Democrats have leaned toward fi
trade, while the Republicans have :
vised the tariff upward.
Second?A believer in.the large
possible freedom for the natural p<

and control of the artificial person

Third?An uncompromising cnei
of all trusts in restraint of trade.
Fourth?An advocate of such frn

The Need of the Democratic Par
Let us admit that party lines
present, are tangled, twisted and i
tertwined. Republicans are applav
ing policies they denounced as era
f ten years ago. Democrats are trvi
to outbid Republicans in I he ancti
of an anti-corporation vote. But t
fact remains that in .spite of plui
crats who call themselves Dcmocrt
and demagogues who call themseh
Democrats there are certain well-s
tied Democratic principles and tt
dencies which will assert Ihemseh
in the lone run and which are noei
satry to maintain the equilibrium
the republic.

semi-socialistic party the characi
