The American flag has never been
pulled down from any territory that it
ever claimed jurisdiction of: it never
will be pulled down while a Repub
lican president is in the White House"
Mr.. GrosvenOr declared that the Re-
publican party does not worship the
schedules OF the tariff as a fetish, but
favors revision whenever the require
ments of business demand il. He
added;
Tariff Revision.
"The vital question for the Repuo-
licans at this particular time is the
question Of where and how and by
whom any revision of the tariff. which
is deemed important, shall be IsHlde.
What is there in the portents of the
times that indicates a necessity for any
revision Of the tariff schedules Of the
Dingley act? We have unbounded pros
perity. Is that the time to commence
tariff agitation that shall unsettle
values and disturb the peace of bust
ness am precipitate into cOmmotiOn
the business interests Of the United
States? That is the important question
and a question which in my opinion
can only be answered in this way: I'm
til injurious results to business and
prosperity are known to have been
produced by the existence of tariff
schedules. the time has not yet come
10 enter upon a revision of that dOcu-
ment.
Incidental to this subject is the
question Of wider market We cannot
go on forever adding TO the volume OF
our production and yet fail to gain new
and wider markets. The problem of
the day is the question of new mar
kCts for American production.
Reciprocity must not be used to de-
stroy home industries Reciprocity
must not be made use of to lessen the
wages Of the American laborers or to
curtail the scope of their employment.
But reciprocity may be used TO open
the markets of other countries to the
production Of our country and thereby
and in that way make ii possible TO
-lre iH0ri' wages and nlore hours of
labor 20 The American workman"
Referring TO trusts. the speaker de-
clared that Republican statemcn were
the only ones that bad ever made any
practical efforts to meet this great
question and called attention TO the
contest now going on in the courts for
the disruption of the sO-called beef
trust

nOrs address. the platform was re-
