Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1870-09-15

out impairisg the revenue, impose the least |
burden upon tbs Industrial interests Of |
every section Of the country.
At its late State Convention, the
Republicans Of Ohio resolved in fa-
vor Of tariff 50 adjusted as to secure
"ss tie home producer fair competition
against the foreign producer" as follows:
Resolced, That the tariff for revenue is in
dispensable, and should be 30 adjusted, -
to be least prejudicial TO the industrial and
producing interests Of every class or section
Of the whole country, securing 10 the home
producer fair competition against the for
eign producer.
II the convention intended that
resolution to secure ",ncidental protec-
tio~,' the proper use Of language was
sadly sinned against.
The resolution, on the same sub
iect, BY the late State Conucntion in
Michigan, uses nearly the same words
and means the same thing, as fol.
lows
"Resolued, That the policy Of the raising
revenue BY tariff is part Of the history Of
the Government, and has. recei, ed the sane
ton. in some form, Of every party, and
now, since the war has made large rev>
enues necessary, should be 50 adjusted as
TO be least prejuAicial to the industrial and
producing interest of every class and sec.
ton, securing to the home producer fair
competition against foreign capital and La
bor.''
The resolution adopted by the
late Convention Of Iowa, is to the
same effect, and includes, as does all
the above, Intentional protection, rs
follows:
Resolred, That isriE Of revenue 10 indis.
pensible, and should be 50 adjusted as net
TO teesme prejudicisl TO the industrial i'm
terests Of any class, or section Of the coun-
try, while securing 70 our home producers
fair competition with foreign capital and
labor.
At the State Convention of the
Republicans of Missouri, on the I'd,
INST, the following resolution was
xxans,sowsly adopted:
Resoleed, That while We are in favor Of .
revenue for the support Of the General Gov.
eminent by duties on imports, sound policy
requires such adjustment Of thee imports
IS to encourage the development Of the
industrial interests Of the whole country,
and We commend that policy Of national
exchanges which secu.e TO the working men
liberal wages, to agriculture, remunerative
prices to mechanics and manufacturers, an
adequate reward for their skill, labor, and
enterprise, and the nation commercial pros
perity and Independence.
Surely there can not be the least
shadow of doubt as to the thoroughly
protective" feature of the above res
olntion.
Our contemporaries attention IL
also called to the TACT, forgotten, OF
course, that in his own county, the
Republican convention of June I,
1869, passed the following good res
olution, which has not, so far as We
are able to learn, been ignored, o. re-
solved against, by the Republicans OF
the county of Benton:
Resolred, That We heartily approve Of a
judicious Tariff, which will protect Amer>
lean Industry from competition with the
pauper labor Of Europe, and which will de-
velop the resources Of our own country, &c
that we may be commercially, as we'll ~
politically, Independent of the Old World
If our contemporary has any evil
dence that the Republican opinion Of
the West is "rapidly tending toward,
an almost strictly revenue tariff
with only incidestal protection" VIC
would be glad to have our attention
called to 1t.
