WHAT DOES IT MEAN.
The recently ' promulgated
Democratic platform j yaguly
says in its 19th Statement or
proposition . ' declarative of
purpose; "We favor liberal
trade arrangements with Canada,
and with other countries, where
they can be enteied into with
benefit to American agricultun
manufacturing, mining or coin
lurrce."
Here is a proposition, if it ed in the three great
to American igficUtiUff ( jaunt
factoring1 and mining, but as 0
tbee it has ho advice.
the public is left in absolute
ignorance as to what the Demo
crats will do in attempting lo
cafry out the trade arrangement
with foreign countries. .The
proposition can only mean that
when the Democrats get in
power it will notify all the
countries with which we trade
that it wants to do some bargain
ing. This bargaining will be
carried on bv the secretary of
state an appointee of the presi
dent, and when a bargain bas
been agreeed upon it will be
formulated into treaty. In
this stage for the first time it
will reach the eye of the law
makers, and then behind closed
doors in the secrecy of an execu
tive session of the United Slates
senate. .
. The proposition, is, if any
meaning can be affirmed to the
string of words in statement 19
is that the business now Conduct.

meuns anything, means a recast of " the people
of oil present arrangments where States shall be
by our entire foreign commerce
is carried on. This : foreign
trade in 1903 aggregated $2,445,-
860,916 being a per capiU of
$29.86 to the whole population.
Tbis is a big undertaking and
can ' have but . ' "disturbing
influence if it has any.
The public whose business
plans are thus threatened with a
recast ou suoh a sweeping scale
have a right to know just what
the "we," who are going to do
the big job mean by "liberal
trade arrangments" and : that

, Tbe magnitude of the interests
involved in proposition 19 of the

insupperable irgument agaiuat
it It is a proposition to place

that will surrouud the proceed
