CARROLL. Ia. Sept. l5.-Gov. Horace
Boies, whose presidential chances we're
postponed at the Chicago convention,
opened the national campaign In Iowa to-
day Ia most vigorous fashion for Cleveland
and Stevenson. He had an immense audiences
and bis appearance on the speakers stand
was the signal for remarkS bic outburst OF
cheering. The important question at issue,
he said, Is the momentous proposition
whether or not the general governments
can legally and rightfully tax resident Of
Iowa engaged In any one Of her industries
70 protect and thereby enrich some other
person engaged In different line OF bust.
ness In another state.
APPROPRIATE TIE nNoRIrY's EARNINGS.
II suoh power rightfully exists under our con-
atitution then q bare majority deriving lie
strength from sectional localities or otherwise
may, through the aid OF the power to lay and
collect taxes, literally appropriate the earnings
OF the minority. For more than quarter OF q
century pecessity alone compelled levy by
this government of an enormous
tariff upon almost every article OF
necessity produced In this country
have since been placed upon the free list, others
have been retained, and In some instances the
war tariff has been increased. The necessity
which caused the levy OF this tariff has passed
away. Since the war closed we have had five
rep ublican administrations and one democratic.
The latter terminated three and q half years
ago. It came into power with
WAR TARIFF IN FORCE.
II was powerless to change It, for one branch
OF congress was republican. lt could do moth
ing less than receive into the treasury of the
nation the money which this tariff took from
the people. What was the RESULT The treasury
was gorged by these laws until at the end OF
that administration, on the 4th OF March. 1889,
IL contained q large amount in excess OF every
masured obligation of the government. and this
was being increased at the rate of nearly
500 O0000 of surplus annually This was the
condition OF the treasury when the democratic
administration turned it DO their republican
successors. Where Is that surplus nowf To an
swer Ia the mildest language can use, l will
say dissipated. Why was IL dissipateds Be-
cause il stood in che way Of
PROTECTIVE TARIFF.
The two could not exist together One or the
other must disappear. But our friends say this
protcottve tariff Is made for the benefit of the
labortng man. All that tax Is intended 10 do is
TO equalise the difference between the wages OF

two whole years. Has 1t allayed the struggle

NO BENEFIT TO FARMERS.
Gov. Boies then made an argument TO
show that the republican doctrine that pro-
lection benefited the farmers by giving
them home market was unsound. That
In fact it bad contrary effect, keeping us
out OF markets we might secure abroad.
He briefly touched on the force bill, and
then taking up the state bank plank In the
democratic platform he said the republican
leaders are unnecessarily alarmed.
No one proposes TO interfere with our national
bank system or 70 establish state banks with
