Entered at the Post Office at Laporie, as second-class mail matter. SOME PLAIN TRUTHS IF REPUBLICANS ARE TO WIN, THEY MUST GET TOGETHER. titof> Talking About Trusts and Ulgh Price* and Let Democrats and Free Trader* Do All That Is Dome In the Wa»- of Attacking the Tariff. It is indeed "The Plain Truth About the Tariff" that is told in an editorial under this heading that appears in the latest issue of the Iron and Steel Bulletin. And it is full time the truth were told, full time that certain luflu ential Republicans in and out of con gress—statesmen, editors and business men claiming to be Republicans— should comprehend to its full signifi cance the fact that their course in re gard to tariff revision and reciprocity leads straight to the downfall of the protective policy and all that Is there in involved. In terse terms the Bulle tin makes this perfectly clear. It urges that the clamor for a downward revision of the Dingley tariff and for special reductions of duty rutes by means of trade treaties ought to have been left to the Democrats. Certainly it should not have come from Repub licans. There are too many producers who want the tariff taken from some other fellow's product in order thut they may reap an advantage through in creased sales in foreign markets. .There are too many producers in sisting upon an extension of the list of free raw materials, "but unwilling to forego protection on their finished products. in short, there are too many half liearted, inconsistent protectionists, far too many for the good of the Repub lican party and the maintenance of the protection policy. • They are to lie found holding seats In both branches of congress, to which they were elected on protection plat fpnus by protectionist constituencies. They are to be found even higher up iu national affairs. They are to be found in control of the editorial expression of newspapers professing to stand for straight Repub licanism. Right and true is the plain speech of the Bulletin on this point—namely, that "the result of this partial surrender of the protective principle" is seen today in the development of"the lowa ideas" and In the open abandonment of sound protectionist principles by Republican , nominees for congress in various parts , of the country, notably In Massachu setts. What wonder, then, that "many Republican voters have been led into the <|Ulcksand of doubt and unbelief on the question of protection?" If the principle of protection is to be maintained In this country, if the Ding- Icy tariff is to be saved from mutiln tlon by its professed friends and if the business of the nation Is to be spared the dreadful shock of panic and calam ity, there must be an awakening to the dangers of the situation and a return to the safe, certain basis of sound eco nomic doctrine. All talk of tariff revision at this time orlii the near future must be dropped by Republicans. Let the Democrats have a monopoly of that kind of talk. They can be relied upon to talk tariff revision Into disrepute and repudiation. It Is Republican talk that keeps it nlive. Drop it! The voters of this country, as the Bulletin wisely says, must be led to 1 understand that the adoption of a gen eral policy of reciprocity implies a re duction of tariff duties, a relaxation of the principle and policy of protection. Democrats and free traders fully com prehend this plain fact. 'The concluding paragraph of the Bulletin's earnest appeal should be ( read and taken home to himself by ' every Republican In the land: "Forewarned is forearmed. All sin cere protectionists everywhere should rally to the support of the protective policy and the Dingley tariff at the approaching congressional elections. Their best efforts are needed to pre- ! vent a free trade victory in Novem ber. Nor should this activity in de- , fense of protection end with the No vember elections. A campaign of edu cation should be commenced immedi ately. Protection literature of the most uncompromising character should be placed in the hands of every voter, '('lie Dingley tariff can be saved from the touch of unfriendly hands and a lerious business reaction can be avert ed If a prompt and Intelligent appeal Is at once made to the common sense of the American people." The real weakness in the Repub lican line, the real peiil of the situation as it exists today, is distinctly dis closed in the above statement. A cam paign of education Ims not been car ried on. Protection literature of the most uncompromising character has not been placed In the hands of every voter. The Amerlcnn Protective Tariff league has to the exteut of its re sources carried on h campaign of edu cation, and as far as Itn funds per mitted has placed in the hands of voters protection literature ot the most uncompromising character. Witness its extensive distribution of No. 75, Senator Gallinger's great speech, "Prosperity Is the Issue," and kindred documents. What it could do hns hwn John D.

A small boy in one of our district schools, when askod by a kind old lady If he studied very hard, said, "Oh, J don't hurt myself at It."
