That Iowa Plank.

Again extremes meet. There are certain
hfgh proteCtionists among the republicans
who see a grave menace to the policy Of
protection In the Iowa deliverance. Ihelr
opinion seems to be that the Dingley sched-
uIes cannot be touched at all without seri-
Gus consequences to business all along the
line And here comes Mr.. Bryan, one of the
lowest Of low tariff democrats. with this
observation:
Il am glad to see that the republicans of
Iowa have admitted the necessity for tarlIf
reform, for while il will strengthen the
republican party in that state for the com
ing campaign il Will ultimately weaken 1t,
for the republicans cannot permit any re
form in the tariff without endangering their
whole system. and they cannot abandon the
protective system without annihilating 1T
This is sheer extravaganza. The idea that
reform of the tariff means it's destruction.
that the readjustment of protection duties
means the abandonment of the protective
system. partakeS somewhat Of the comlcai
The very success of a tariff bill makes
readtustment of its rates necessary. As
business is stimulated by 1t, changes. in
time become imperative. The rates of one
era do not fit the conditions of another era.
Take the case of the Mckinley tariff bill.
That very carefully prepared under
the direction of a man who had fully mas
tered the whole question of protection. and
who always insisted that If a fair trial had
been given 1t the bill would have justified
itself But it was condemned at the polls
In something like six weeks after its enact
Ineut into law, and soon as the demo-
Gratis could get at 1t In Congress they su-
perseded 1t by passing the GOrman-Wilson
bill. That in turn was superseded by the
passage of the Dingley bill, which is now in
operation
When Mr.. Dingley and his assistants took
UP the subject Of revision they did not go
back to the rates OF the Mckinley bill
Seven years had passed since the prepara-
tion of that bill. and business conditions
had changed in that time. The Mckinley
were required. and these Mr. Dingley and
his friends. guided by the business require
ments of the day, prepared. They have
justified themselves in every instance. and
I'm some Instances so very well that indus
tries benefiting by them no longer need the
care they then did. In the five years since
the Dingley bill was written conditions have
again changed and now the great prosperity
Of all enterprises suggest that duties in GER
tain directions may be lowered to the gen
eral advantage.
The Iowa republicans are not proposing
either a general revision of the tariff. or an
abandonment of the policy of protection in
any quarter where protection has yet to do
Its perfect work.

Mr.. Joseph Monosmith. who lost his

and she accepted, and the prospective
groom went so far as to secure min
lister, and then he heard some gossip

that he had heard some news about
her and that he didn't want to marry
and that he was not coming back any
more, so she consulted a lawyer and
filed suit to set aside the deeds.

Strange and Rather
Doubtful Story
THE CIGAR COMPANY is ROBBED
Bruce Claims to Have Been Bound and
Gagged by the Thieves, Who Secured
sso-He Managed to Release Himself
After Three Hours Of Effort and Tells
Police His Experience.

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Oct. 4.-Bound hand and
foot with a gag thrust between his
teeth from 8 o'clock in the morning UNI
til nearly o'clock, when he was I'M
ally able to release himself, is part OF
the story told of himself by 9. T..
Bruce. an employe Of the Strow Cigar
company The remainder of the tale
is that while he was in this helpless
condition two men who had entered the
building went thru a cash register and
a desk and then departed with $50 In
their possession.
Bruce reported to the police that the
Strow bowling alley, in which he is
employed, had been robbed during the
night. He stated that at o'clock IN
the morning, while cleaning out the
room he was overpowered by two men,
bound and gagged and left in that con-
dition until nearly o'clock when he
at last succeeded in releasing himself,
the men meanwhile departing with the
contents OF the cash register and q
desk in which money was kept.
The story as told by Bruce presents
some unusual features from the
fact that the bowling alley is situated
directly across the street from the po-
lice station and that Bruce can give
no description of the robbers. The po-
lice are working on the matter and 1t
is limited that some unusual develop
ments in the case may result.

Harris is of great interest and sustains
the opinion the police had when they

burglar who last May entered the house

several watches and other articles of
jewelry and some pieces of plate ana
several rare coins. among them two

Immense Sum May Have to Be Paid to

Council Bluffs, Oct. S.-Nearly ST.
100000 may have to be paid into the
Fottawattamie county treasury by the
Portland Gold Mining Company If the
effort which is now beng made to as
sess that corporation proves successful.
Some time ago the Portland officials
were notified to appear. before County
Treasurer William Arnd and show
cause, 4 why their company should not
be listed for taxation forafthe last five
wears on a stock valuation of 100000.
With a levy similar to last years, the
tax on this valuation would amount to
about $4,000 year, or 1855, 1000 for the
five years. This is equal to about three
fourths of the taxes paid by the entire
county. Pottawattamie county is all
ready practically out of debt and such
a windfall would make it the richest
county in the state, and would almost
wipe away the municipal obligations OF

That Waterloo Shooting ARRAY.

Waterloo, Oct. According to q
statement made yesterday forenoon to
County Attorney S. b. Reed and Sheriff
William Law by Fred Wheeler, the VIC
tim of Wednesday nights shooting at
fray, Miss Mary Cummings, in case of
his death, would have to answer to the
charge Of murder in the second degree.
Up to this morning Wheeler stead
tasty refused to make any statement
OF the facts concerning the ARRAY. He
was visited by Sheriff Law and County
Attorney Reed, who were investigating
the case, and made a statement of the
details of the matter. the essence of
which is quoted above. Both Mr. Reed
and Mr.. Law refuse to divulge all that
Wheeler stated.
Miss Mary Cummings, the accused,
was arraigned yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock before Justice Mears for her
preliminary hearing. Owing to Wheel
er's condition, County Attorney Reed
secured a continuance of the hearing
until Oct "a. The charge upon which
she was arrested was assault with in
tent to commit murder, but in case of
Wheeler's death this would be changed
to murder in the second degree. Her
bond was left the same as fixed previ-
ously, $4,000.
Wheeler's case Is rather mystifying
