But IS not the Republican party, by its last plat"

Not at all. Nothing said about reducing the
tariff. Tho platform pledges the party to correct
the inequalities of the tariff and reduce the surplus
This 1t has been willing to do since 1884, but could
not accomplish anything against Democratic Presi-
dent and House Of Representatives. Correcting inc-
qualities in the tariff does not mean the retention OF the
Internal Revenue tax, and wholesale or indscrlm-
mate reduction Of duties which would Impair or break
down our productive industries. degrade American
labor by reducing wages to the level of those pad
abroad-almost the starvation limit 1t means the
removal of such Inequalities as Will grow up from time
