"A contest in the committee the chair

known that the governors friends had
controlled the committee. but had they
compromised or had they reaffrmed
with the exact phrase as TO "affording

ton uppernost in every mind. The
chairman read on in a clear voice and
when he reached the changes in sched-
ules made necessary" etc, there WAS
applause. Then more applause when

and Deliver The convention was loud
in its demonstration OF approval of the
Cedar Rapids platform and the govern
cr's position.
Naturally such an expression from
the convention was very gratifying to
the T.-R., which had been accused of
being irregular" a ''mugwump,'
free trader ETC., for defending the
principles and phrases of the Cedar
Rapids platform. 1t demonstrated that
the T.-R. is quite as able to interpret
the true republicanism of Iowa as are
many of the journals that would read
the T.-R. out of the party because it
presumes to express views of its own
different from theirs.
Furthermore. the T.-R. believes that
the republicans of Iowa have done the
wisest thing in their platform utter
ance Such able men as Congressman
think not. but the trust question can
not be laughed aside. The monopoly is
as un-American as a monarchy and a
clear-cut expression that if tariff
schedule can be found aiding or abet-
ting monopoly the sovereignty of the
people shall be exercised to remove the
tariff that the consumer may have fair
competition for his patronage. To have
said less or to have refused to repeat
what was said at Cedar Rapids would
have been a backward step and an in
excusable blunder. There is no deser-
Aon from the doctrine of protection and
ITO admission that protective tariffs es-
tablish monopoles implied. The con-
vention applauded a platform that
declared for progressive republicanism
and INDICATED Governor Cummins,
whose star of popular favor continues
to arise in the Iowa political heavens.

ice was within the reacn of everybody. as
it was sold reasonably; but the people
had hardly begun to enjoy this great ne

Public BuIIdIng site.

Elsewhere in this issue we publish ar
advertisement from Ac:ng Secretary OF
the Treasury, Taylor, asking for pro-
posals ''to sell to the government of the
United States Il site for the erection of a
Government building" in this city, also
a notice giving the structiOns as to the
mode and manner Of procedure III max
| ing an offer of sale.
In calling attention to this advertise
ment we wish to say to the people that it
is hoped that each and every one who has
lot that they might think will come up
to the requirements as given in the adver-
tisement and notice referred to, will make
offer of it for purchase by the Govern.
ment, tor the more the offers the better the
chance to select. the most desirable site.
Under the act Of Congress making the
appropriation for the purchase of this
site The Secretary of the Treas Try be,
and is hereby AUTHORIZED and directed to
acquire by purchase, condemnation, or
otherwise, a suitable site, &c, we trust
there will be no necessity for resort to
the power given to condemn or otherwise
acquire other than by straight out pur-
chase from voluntary offers madeR to sell
the people we take it, fully appreciate the
great necessity and benefits of such
building and will do all i'll their power to
aid in securing desirable site.
We are happy to say several sites have
already been promised to be offered, but
there are several others as desirable,
from. which we would like to see the gov
eminent have the opportunity to Select.
While the advertisement says ''cOr-
ner lot is required, we do not believe it
is intended that the Government is barred |
from purchasing any but "a corner lot"
and thCrelre several most desirable sites |
that are i'll the very center of blocks, and
we hope to see some of them among those
offered for selection.
There should be 70 delay in making
these offers to sell. as the ''sealed propO-
sails must be i'll before the 18th of July.
