"In all tarrifl legislation the true princlplo ol protection Is beat main tallied by the Imposition ol soch duties as will equal the differencs between the cost of protection nt home and abroad, together with a rcaronable profit to American Industries, and the benefits that follow are best secured by the es tablishment of maximum and minimum rates to be administered by tho l'resl dent under limitations fixed in the law-, the maximum to be able to lie available to meet discriminations by foreign coun tries against American gords entering Ilicir markets, and tho minimum lo rep resent the normal measure ol pro lection at home, the aim and tho purposo of the Republican party being not only to. preserve, without excessive duties, the security against foreign competition to which American manu facturers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high standard ol living of the wago earners of this country, who arc the most direct beneficiaries o( the protective system. "Between the United fc'tatcs and the Philippines, wo believe In a free inter change of produc's with such limit ations as to sugar and tobacco as will avoid damage to domestic interests'" Resides advocating revision of the tariff, the platform endorsed President Roosevelt's policies anil declares Ihe Administration fearless and praises the president (or curbing tho criminal trusts. The history ol legislation under the republican administration during tho last (our years I reviewed at con slderablo length. I. Frank Adams is in tho city from his ranch, He Is Inspecting tho work being dono by tlie dredge on the experi mental (arm and Is also completing ar rangements (or the construction of a dredge scow on the Upper lake. Recent measurements ol the waler flowing through tho Tuta lake outlet show a decrease of a fuw second feet. Several weeks ago the flow- was S3 sec ond (eet, but at the last measurement It was nlnteen (ee't. Thedecreato in. the flow Is explained by those familiar with Ihe conditions as being directly dun to the (act that the take is getting lower, and as the water recedes tho stream through the outlet decreases. There Is at this time no Indication whatever that the water is running Into a cave or cavityjlhat is likely to (111 up but those who have been watching the phenomenon are liecomlng convinced that the water Unds its way through a subterranean channel into some river In California. Engineers of the Reclamation Service are kept informed a to the condition ol the outlet, and it Is very likely that, next Kar a considerable mm will be set aside to enlarge the opening so that It will bo ol practical use In the recla mation of the Inundated lands In the Tule lake basin. There has been no work done on the outlet sinco early in the spring, and it la thought that the flow could lie again In creased to 23 second (eet if a channel were dug from the deeper water to the opening. The lake is gradually getting lower, but this is due to a measure only to the outlet, for at this season of the year the evaporation Increases and the Inflowing water decreases, causing a gradual receding of the lake.
