AN IOWA OPINION.


Inaugural Address.
Any system OF taxation the effect OF
which is 70 take from one class and give
to another is necessarily a partial and
unequal distribution of public burdens.
II such a system is necessary because
none can be devised thai is absolutely
fair to all classes. 1t is apparent its in
capabilities should be confined To the low.
est practical limit. This can be done BY
combining its operation to the one pur-
pose Of raising absolutely necessary rev
enue and In no other way.
1t is probably true that the burdens OF
an exorbitant protective tariff fall more
heavily upon Iowa than upon most OF
her sister States Such q tariff IS neces-
sarily in conflict with the best interests
OF the one great industry which is the
chief hope and sustenance Of her poo
pie. 1t increases the cost of nearly
every thing we buy and diminishes the
price Of almost every thing we sell. IL
obstructs our own ports against the im-
portation Of products we are compelled
to use and foreign ports against those
we produce and must send abroad. We
have followed this delusion Of q pro-
tcctive tariff until, with ~granaries over
flowing. with fiocks and herds that man
can scarcely number. we are still poor,
because by artificial means the profits Of
our " great industry have been de-
pressed below their normal condition
that those Of another might be elevated
above its own.
Let it be understood that the people
Of this State demand cheap clothing,
cheap fuel, cheap implements OF labor
in short. cheap necessaries That they are
not Interested in cheap whisky or cheap
tobacco; and that II compelled to take
the latter cheap and the former dear

Republican pisns - Force = National

the results will DO far-rcaching. and In

be less desirable than to divide the
country into two great National parties
for and against the negro. The unwill-
ingncss OF the Democratic party To ac-

thus far served only TO encourage the
Republican leaders 70 become moro

a National negro issue which the Demo

No negro issue really exists in our
