There has been no controversy, and
there can be none, between Republi
cans as to the soundness or value of
this doctrine. The divergence ap
pears when we come to apply It to
fntwmitional trade, and to a consul
•ration of that divergence 1 now ask
your fair-minded and dispassionate
■attention
So long as there was full arid free
eompetition In our own country it
mattered little how excessive the du
ties were, because the rivnlrv among
domestic producers could be depended
Upon to bring prices to a fair Ameri
can level. We did not, therefore, se
riously concern ourselves about a sci
entific adjustment of the tariff. »>ur
manufacturers were protected against
competition from abtoad. and our
consumer* wi re protected by the n.n
Wal Jaws Of business at home. If the
duties were higher than they sb uid
have been, hnd undoubtedly they wer.
In many Instances, there was no com
plaint. for no Injury resulted to the
greaj body of the people who bought
and used dutiable commodities
As time passed on, however, there!
appeared a new factor tn the indus

ed States, and the era of consolida
tion and monopoly began With a ra- .
'pWity that *• en now It Is hard to

of the tariff. It originated In the ne

ed upon the fundamental Instinct for
Juatice. Deprived of the safeguards
vrhli h competition at home had fur
nltffied them, the people knew, with
out reasoning upon it. that they had
n right to an intelligent readjustment
©f the tariff They felt the duths
should be so modified that the con
tinued insistence upon unfair prices
would exp«»re our manufacturers to
the correction of foreign < ompeti
tlon.
In this demand there was no dis
loyalty to the doctrine of protection
although for a short period the
fioiaries of excessive duties succeeded
in confusing the issue.
The bill made many reductions and
mar.j increases--Put the reductions
were of little or no avail, for thej
left the duties still far above the dif
farence in cost of production, and

If there had been an honest at- >

cost of production. I might have

Correct Krror
The logical, sensible thing to do
1s to correct our mistake1—none hut
republican can correct It—and under .
the Impulse of the sentiment growing |
now by leaps and bounds everywhere
they wilt correct It and leave the re- i
publican name and republican pledge
without a stain In all its wonderful
history
Our course, it seems to me. is »c
plainly before us. I do not favor an
Immediate general revision of the ta
rift. Indeed I earnestly hope that we ;
may never He compelled to enter upon
another general readjustment of the ]
gpuiui.
In our last attempt tt was made i
clearer than ever before, first, that
some better way must be found than ,
w-e now have of securing information
m to the cost here and abroad; and !
second. that we must amend the
schedule* separately. As to the first. j
the way will be found In the creation
of an Independent, non-partisan tariff
commission, not to change the 'aw.
for that Is. and must remain, the
work of Congress; but to collect and
lay before Congress and before the
people the facts
When this Is done there will V' I
neither high tariff man nor low tariff
man who will venture to disregard
his duty. Fortunately, the demand
for such a commission has become
almost unanimous among republicans,
•nd the few who still oppose tt will
•oon disappear from public life.
Kaflroad Regulation.
The most Important legislation #-f
the last session of Congress »•».« no
amendment to the Interstate com
merce law. The regulation of com
mon carrier* ts altogether the most
difficult undertaking upon which the
government hag entered, and It wilt
-raauire all the independence which a
popular selection of law makers < an
-•apply; *11 the Intelligence which gen
- -amt. education and specific study can
contribute, and all the eourag* whl< h
the highest type of patriotism can
create to carry the government t« a
safe an<1 Just ropclualon.
The history of the prevlona decade
Tn this respect had been ao lamentable
that our national platform In 19(>»
made emphatic reference* to this
jhase of the subject. The president
assumed the inlatlva, but unfortu
nately. as 1 view It, he delegates to
the attorney general the task of pre
paring a hill to bo laid before Con
gress. I have uo reason to doubt the
honesty of the attornel general, but
he had jurt come from a long profes
sional training and association which
unfitted him to deal wisely with this
subject. and there came from his
hands into the House and Senate a
bill which. If it had passed, as Al
drich bo emphatically declared It
should pass, would have consigned
the Republican party to eternal dis
grace and defeat
\nothcr Repudiation.
Contrary to our solemn promise in
the platform It proposed to repeal the
Hntt-trust law with respect to traffic
agreements among railways specify
ing rate* and charges, and to permit'
such agreement* and the rates and
charges mail*- under them to go into
effect. Without the approval of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
With the introduction of tne bill
there began such a struggle as has
oaen rarely witnessed between the
forces of progress and reaction. The
progressive Republicans did not get
all they wanted, nor all they ought
to have had, but they succeeded in
converting a ipeasure which In It?
original form would have been a long
step backward, into a measure that
is a gratifying step forward.
Wall street Interests.
Certain Republican* who are en
amored with the manipulations of
Wall street joining themselves with
certain i'r m e-rs t ? who found no au
thority In the constitution for such
legislation, defeated our amendment.
We are n<>t, however, without hope,
lor under the recommendation of the
['resident a provision was adopted
which will Insure an immediate In
vestigation of the subject, snd we
may shortly be more successful in our
efforts to regulate railway stocks and
bonds.
Upon the whole. the Republican
party Is to be congratulated upon the
bill, as it became a law It Is a step
in the right direction, and ultimately
vv-f will reach the end toward which
all patriots are striving.
1 trust 1 will not be accused of
any desire to stir up factional feel
ing for saying, a* I am bound to
say. that bad it not been for the pro
gressive Republicans in the Senate,
men who have been derided through
out the country as Insurgents, the lull
would have passed the Senate as it
came from the pen of the attorney
general, and the Republican party
would hav e staggered along in this i
campaign under a burden too heavy
for any party to successfully carry.
Postal Ranks.
Our platform of 1H08 committed
the party to the establishment of pos
tal savings institutions. It Is proba
bly true that Iowa needs such facili
ties f. -r savings less than any other
State In the Union, but nevertheless
I am convinced that th policy is a
wise one.
There an many parts of the coun
try In which the hanks are neither
so numerous nor so near the peo
ple as 'they are in Iowa, and what
ever we can do to encourage and stim
ulate habits of saving and thrift we
ought to do,
The taw passed by Congress has, in
rny opinion, two serious defects which
ought to he removed at the earliest
practicable moment
f irst, v. e have given to the board
of trustees, which is to manage the
postal depositories, the discretion to
designate such p< st office as it secs
lit
Second, the must serious objection
to the law- will be found In the dis- i
position of the money after it Is gath
ered at the postoffleps Until a few
weeks before the bill passed It had
never been suggested that the money
so taken in at the postofflee was, un
der anv circumstances, to be removed
from the communities in which It was
gathered, except us it went out under
the ordinary laws of commerce and
trade.
1‘rotMI ( ountry Hanks.
Tn my judgment, if we want to up
ul arize postal savings deposit rios.
and allow them to fulfill the purpose
we have had in view, we must speed
ily amend the law so that the coun
try hanks will not he injured, and so
that money will lie permitted to per
form Its full functions in the locali
ties to which it naturally flows.
I do not say that 1 will oppose a
central hank, hut 1 do say that 1
will oppose any bank with the powers
that I have described, for if that mis
fortune should befall us we would suf
fer a financial slavery more complete
even than the industrial servitude
which now afflicts us.
In the consolidation of the great
banks now in progress we see the
preparation for such a condition. Al
ready a dos.cn men. or legs, can exert
an Influence which makes the coun
try tremble in apprehension of their
mighty strength, nnd if we permit
them to enlarge their authority we
will richly deserve the subjugation
which will follow.

Prices of Mummies.
"What ought you to got for an
Kg> ptian mummy ” asked a repress n
tative of the press of ileorge Huber,
who wandered disconsolately among
the purlieus of his ancient treasures.
His answer was surprising, not as to
tli>' matter of prh e tmt for an entire
elimination of the question of authen
ticity :
"Oh. anywhere between $25 .and
$SOO," said the veteran museum man
ager naively. "It all depends upon:
where the mummy yeas manufactur
ed.”
After all, what was the use of keep
ing the secret of Harness# III. any
longer? The museum is no more,
and this noble man of a forgotten era
may have been made to order in an
obscure mummy shop somewhert; over
on the Hast Side. At any rate.
Houdinl considered the mummy worth
at least $.1, with or without an expose
of Its past life.
it was a motley crowd that gath
ered at the sound of the auctioneers
irv showmen, actors, stamp and coin
collectors, curio hunters and mere ]
idlers who had come to take advan- ,
tage of the free show. Auctioneer Kd- ;
ward C. Martin went about his task 1
with great good humor and a desire '

The bidders were about equally dt- ,

Houdinl said he did not want the
Auburn electric chair for his front
porch.
"I made my debut here years ago,’
ho explained, "at next to nothing a
week, 1 want this chair for sweet
sentiment's sake. It came while I did
my first week at Huber's.”
The effort to learn from Houdinl
wherein sentiment might be found In
so grisly a relic as this was unavail

"I took the aviating prize In Aus

as belonging to some prehistoric mon
ster, and the crowd said, "Good boy.

Hill’s dumbbell would not sell at all.
