CARD OF THANKS

gratitude to the many friends and
relatives who so kiudly aided us
during tlie brief illness and death
our Httle child.
Mr and Mrs Melvin E Johuson
special Washington Correspondence
Washington, Dec. 20.- "There Is
one ; i y , and one way only, for the
democrats to remain in power; by
Hiving the people after election what
they promised before election. The
people don't want excuses; t hey
want deeds."
This is Speaker Champ Clark's
idea, of what the democratic party
must do to make good Mid to be re
tained in power.
"If there is anything I believe in
strongly," said Mr. Clark, "It Is that
promises made to win an election
should be religiously carried out af
ter the el sot Ion is won.
"Men should say what they mean
and mean what they say; and they
should speak the plain language of
the plain people so that all may un
derstand The voters of the hind
hae a right to be treated honestly,
'candidly, fairly and courageously.
They are entitled to that scuare deal
of which we hear so much and set
so little.
"Ropm J, Walker's report on the
'tariff remains lo this day the great
est paper on that subject. In it he
' laid down this general principle:
I 'The highest rates should be on
luxuries; the lowest or none at all
on lite necessaries of life' Thai
Should he the basis of our revision
Of the tariff to which we are solemn
!y committed.
"The rates should be arranged so
U to prod ii the maximum of reve
nue, while taking from the ultimate
consumers the minimum of money in
the shape of tariff taxes That
statement may appear paradoxical,
but what it proposes is perfectly
feasible. There is a maximum reve-
aue-pradaelac tariff rate on each
particular item which can he ascer-
' tained, and which should be uscer-
tinned. The moment t ie rale on
any article goes above the maximum
roreimS prOdudag rate the revenue
begins to fall oft, and the more the
; rate is increased the more the rev
i ma dwindles until it disappears eu
j'irch. and the rate becomes proliib-
itlve.
i "Such Is tin- case with blankets

cet.'s per pound, M article of prime
I aeceesity on which the rom pound
I sjiei Ifjc and ad valorem amounts to
I a tariff tax of between Hia and
