And all this Is only part of the rich story, of Uncle Sam's seven fat years under the protective policy of the Re publican party. Turin Hum nil i■> kt Talk. If during the coming campaign there comes a time when there Is a suspicion that the Democrats may win, let any unprejudiced observer note the effect of sii"h prospect on trade and manufac turing industries and say for himself whether this talk about the effect of tariff smashing is all "hot air." Every on ■ knows that a smashed tariff means lower prices, and no one Is going to be fool enough to load up with goods on a falling market—Burlington (Vt.) Free Press. Ittuu itj i'ctrklk Mukmg Hecoul tlit Kepubllcttn Party Stand. j Upon Its record In tariff making the Republican party must stand or fall, j if it bus last the confidence of the ] country it will fall; if it retains that confidence it will stand. How shall it most surely retuln that confidence? j Not by expressing doubt and distrust ' of Its own work, not by pledging Itself to revise a tariff that is doing magnifi cent things for the prosperity of the people and needs no revising. The lie publican party has always revised the tariff when in its judgment such revi sion was called for. It has sometimes revised the tariff upward and some times downward. Its greatest tri umphs at the itolls have never followed a downward revision and never will. Defeat has invariably been the fate of the party which revises the tariff downward. At present, however, there should be no lugging in by the ears of the ques tion of tariff revision, no talk of "changed conditions" in the presence of conditions which imperatively re quire tariff stability. If platform sug gestions are in order we can propose a far better plank than that attributed to Senator Lodge. It is the tariff pro nouncement of the recent New Jersey Republican state convention, as fol lows: We uphold with unswerving: fidelity the principle of the protective terlff, the re enactment of which brought the nation at once from the Industrial paralysis of Democratic tariff reform to a new era of business activity. We know from recent experience that such tariff reform means tariff destruction, with resultant disaster to the factory, to the workshop and to the farm, while the policy of protecting Amer ican labor and capital has brought to each the greatest prosperity ever experienced. Truer words were never spokeu thun that "tariff reform means tariff de struction," together with the destruc tion of the reform party at the nest ensuing election. The more it is con sidered the more certain it appears that the New Jersey plank is greatly to be preferred to the Massachusetts plank. Hut, as we have said, the Chi cago convention will decide. That It will decide to the best Interests of the Republican party and hence to the best interests of the country we have entire confidence. SOUND DOCTRINE. No Hlalakr H#« Made by the Hepnb lloauii of lowa. The splendid array in which the Re publicans of lowu welcome any on slaught their opponents may make on protection is best exemplified to this time in the Dlngley law'. If heretofore there have been doubts and disputes as to what Rood Republican doctrine is in lowa this is no longer true. Reci procity bus been discussed and offered in various forms. Up to the meeting of the Republican convention no au thority had spoken on the subject. Then the highest authority within the party said, "We are in favor of reci procity in noncompetitive products only." Any other reciprocity—that in com petitive articles—ls Democratic. Chair man Irwin said It is free trade, and the convention echoed its assent In thunderous applause. Tariff changes have been talked of. The platform adopted by the convention finds no such need. On the contrary, it points out In glowing terms the beneficent effects of the present law and says, "We declare for faithful adherence to this system, which found its highest fulfillment in laws bearing the names of William McKinley and Nelson Ding ley." There now can be no mistake about what is und what Is not good Repub lican doctrine in lowa.—Council Bluffs Nonpareil. Democratic Clalma. The Democrats, as usual, are claim ing everything. They propose to elect the president, a majority of congress men and also to get control of the senate. Under the clrcumstuuces their claims are quite extravagant, espe cially the one regarding the senate. They must gain thirteen seats in order to have u safe majority In that body, and that is quite improbable when the most of the senators chosen will come from strong Republican states. Noth ing short of a genuine revolution throughout the country, an unprece dented landslide, will give Democracy even the chief magistrate, much less the house und the senate. —South Bend Tribune. WatteMun'ii Brand. The statement bus gone forth to the effect that Judge Parker raises the finest rye in New York state, and this should suffice to reconcile Editor Wat terson to the candidacy of the great unspeakable. Come to think about It, however, it may be that Uncle Henri doesn't drink any kind of rye except the Kentucky brand.—Moravian Falls (X. O.) Yellow Jacket. A ComfortliiK TIIOOKM. If Mr. Hearst fails to secure the nomination he will at least have the consolation of knowing that he lias distributed a considerable amount of money and thus added to the prosper ity of the masses. To a man so deeply devoted to the welfare of the common people tills should be quite comforting. - Kansas City Journal. Dry nit Keepn Mum. Mr. Hearst assures us he will not bolt, no matter who may be the nom inee. I'pon tills particular point Mr. Bryan Is not saying a word. Grand Rapids Herald. The True Situation. Uncle Ham's true financial situation appears to be that he has a deficiency j In his Democratic pocket, but a sur plus on his Republican side.—Philadel phia Inquirer.
