As a party, the Democrats claim an existence from 1800 but during over a centuay of its existence it has, if its platforms may be taken as evidence of its political faith, held opposite belief on almost every public question that baa arose, aa a few quot'ttions from their several platforms will show. In 1832, the platform on Which General Jackson was re-elected to the Presidency, it announced itself as favoring a protective tariff in the Brat reso lution in the following empha tic language: "Resolved that an adequate protection to Ameri can industry is indespenable to the prosperity of the country; and that an abandonment of the policy, at this period, Would be attended with consequences ruinous to the best interests of the nation." ' The late democratic platform, the one that the Democracy of 1904 are , assumed to beleive enunciates the dootrine of their party denounces protection to industries as robbery, in the following language: "We den ounce protection as a robery of the many to enrioh the few and we favor a tariff limited to the necessities f"r the government economically administered." Here we see that in 1832 it was the declared belief of the Domooracy "that an adequate protection to American industry is indispensable to the prosperity of the country" and in 1904 the same party "denounced protec tion as a robery. In 1856 the Democrats favor ea iree traae wbich stood as Democratic doctrini until 1868 when it discarded free trade and took up the d gma of tariff for for revenue only. Just what the present oreed of the Demo. crats on the tariff is, no man can find out from their acts or declarations The only thing that is reasonable certain is that if a gain in power they will aot similar to the way they did in Oleavlands second adminis tration with the same results on business. OUR MERCHANT MARINE. The Congrsssional Committee is now touring the coast under the act of Cougress creating it to gather information and reeeive "speoifio suggestions for the upbuilding of our merchant shipping in over aeas trade, This committee will reach Port land from Tacoma to night, and end on Monday hold a public session at which all persons who have any plan to suggest far the betterment of American shipp- ine are desired to attend and freely give tbeir views and pla'is.
