Chairman Carter Answered.

Chairman Carter should hasten to re-
lieve the impression that he is a mischief
maker in the Republican party. That is
an impression very likely to grow out of
his attitude upon the silver question and
his recent statements that the issue at st,
Louis will be extreme or moderate pro-
lection. In reply to the latter assertion
Congressman Dingley is reported by the
Washington correspondent of the Boston
Transcript to have said
Protection is protection. 1t is n broad,
economic policy. clearly Defined to which
the Republican party has given its adher-
ence There may be something more
than protection or something less, but the
principle itself is fixed thing, and not
open to any issue so there can be no divi-
sion at st. Louis on that question as
affecting individual candidates.
Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania,
another member of the ways and means
committee, said 1.-The question of ex-
IRENE or moderate protection is not one
which has any place before national
convention. That can relate only to the
fixing of rates and arranging of schedules.
and such work is for those who frame
a protective measure. The Republican
party stands broadly for the American
policy of protection, and the national
convention expresses that general prin-
ciple without going into rates and
schedules -
