THE IOWA CAMPAIGN.
TOmaha Bee

*
The republican campaign in Iowa has
opened and will be vigorously pushed
until the election, the result of which Is
CT course foregone conclusion. The re-
publican ticket will be elected by per-
haps the largest majority in the history
of the state.
The opening speech Of the republican
candidate for governor. Mr.. A. B. Guns
minis, will have the hearty appreciation
OF all republicans. Not the least impor-
stant feature OF the speech is that relat-
ing to the tariff. In regard to this the
platform says: I'VE stand by the his
toric policy of the republican party in
giving protection to home Industries and
point for its ample vindication to the
extraordinary rapidity with which our
national resources have been developed
and our Industrial and financial indie
pendence secured. We. favor such
changes in the tariff from time to time
as become advisable thru the progress
of our Industries and their changing re-
iations to the commerce OF the world.
We endorse the policy of reciprocity as
the natural complement of protection
and urge its DEVELOPMENT as necessary
TO the realization Of our highest COM
mercial possibilities" Mr.. Cummins
said that his faith in the principle of
protection has rather increased than d.
minished, but he clearly indicated that
he thinks monopoiistfc combinations
should not have tariff protection, tho
he would not Unfortunately place all
articles produced by such combinations
on the free list, because the effect of
that would be to annifflate many an
honest business, impoverish honest
manufacturers and cast into idleness an
army of workingrnen. Mr.. Cummins
does not regard revision Of the tariff
as a remedy for the evils OF the trust.
AS to the Philippines, the Iowa repub-
lean candidate for governor is in entire
accord with the policy that has been
pursued. He makes no prediction re-
garding the future status OF the islands,
but he has absolute confidence that their
people will receive just treatment, that
they will enjoy the liberty guaranteed.
by American Institutions and that the
opportunity will be given them to in all
respects improve their condition. This
ia what is being done, with gratifying
progress, and the policy which has been
inaugurated will be steadfastly adhered
to and earnestly pursued.
The situation could not be more auspi-
cious than 1t is for the Iowa republicans.
The state is prosperous. the national
policies of the party have been yindi-
Gated by results. great national calam-
ity has been passed without the least
financial or business disturbance, thus
demonstrating how strong and substan-
tial are the conditions upon which the
national prosperity rests. the new adj
ministration at Washington is pledged,
to make no departure from the policies
by its predecessor, the OUT
look is most favorable for continued
progress and greater prosperity. The
policies and principles of the demo-
cratic party in regard to national affairs
Rave been utterly discredited by events.
In such circumstances the republican
campaign is simply formality.
