In his address. Mr. Pope declraed
that the Democratic party had faced j
many serious situations and that th^
one now was but merely another m
Its history. He spoke extensively on
the recent tariff bill passed by the
Republican senate and asserted that
the "higher tariff is for revenue only
for the manufacturers in opposition
to the Democratic tariff for revenue
only. The Republicans believe in a
higher tariff for protecting United
State stndustry and aa a result there
is predatory wealth. Mr. Peddy has
never opened his mouth and spoken
for tariff for revenue only. He says
that the tariff is an economic ques-
tion. The factories of the North
and East realize that they must have
more strength in the senate to revise
the tariff upward instead of down-
ward.*’
