ATLANTA, A Shaw Discusses Issues. Chicago, Fob. 13. Lincoln's birth day was obsorved in Chicago latft night by the Marquottto Club with a banquot and public mooting at tho Auditorium. Secretary of the Troas ury Shaw was tho principal spoakor IIo talkod on tho "Democratic Quad rennlol Search for an Issuo," nnd said in part Qundronnlally, since I can remem ber, the democratic party has soarched not always wisely, but vary dlllgontly, for an Issue on which ' a campaign might be won. Whllo It has boen pro lific of measures for retarding cpm merce, and for chocking tho woll nlgh Irroslstible lmpulso of tho Ameri can peoplo for growth and dsvolop mont, and for antagonizing such events as to tend to increaso our international influence, never, In my recolloctinn. has It sought to formu late a wis, proKrewivs policy. The campaign of 1004 cannot be fought upon the monay question or any Issue growing out of our recant war with Spain. Imperialism, which was sounded by the Democratic party as a note ot warning and alarm has been as affectively sllsnced as it was in 1808 and 1878. Neither caa the forthcoming cam paign be fought upon any phrase of the trust question. It will be somewhat difficult to get an Issue out of the tariff. There is considerable talk about hfgh and low protective tariff schedules. But this does not involve a principle, and can not be made an issue. The only other possible Issue that can be carved from the tariff is the proposition that our present protective policy shelters trusts and monopolies. Our political AW&. jMr R m jH Ih. if-'.' " B.
