have been in advancing the interests
OF the people which they govern.
Such is the position with which the
people of the United States find them
selves confronted this fall. Never
before in the history of the govern
ment has there been such general
prosperity as during the past six years
III which the affairs OF the government
have been guided and guarded by the
protective policies of the republican
party. Notwithstanding the unparal-
leled success that has come to every
line of American labor and industry
through the constructive policies of
the republican administration, which
is heartily endorsed by the republic
cans of Iowa, the democratic party in
this state has declared in favor of a
change in the conditions that exist
at the present time. They have de-
clared for the destruction of the large
commercial and industrial institutions
that have grown up because of the in
creased facilities of handling an en-
larged commerce and the necessity
that has been created for such COM
binations by the increased demands
made, by the consumers in our enlarg-
ed markets, upon the producers.
To accomplish their avowed desires
they would strike these combinations,
and to do this they would remove the
present tariff that has given protec-
ton to American labor and industries
alike. They proclaim that it is the
duty of the government to grapple
with these combinations and "by laws
that can neither be evaded nor de.
fed, drive them from every inch OF
American SOIL"
The following paragraphs from the
republican and democratic state plat
forms gives in brief the policies of the
two nartias

INTERVIEWS AT LONG RANGE.

James V, Mahoney, of Chicago, in an
interview in Washington-If the dem
ocrats desire to win in 1904 they will
have to look to the west for a candi-
date, and my belief is that they could
not do better than to take that popu-
lar citizen of Iowa, Hon. j. d. Yeo-
mans, at present a member of the in
terstate commerce commission Mr..
Yeomans was for many years a citi-
zen of New York, and he has thous-
ands of friends in the east In his
adopted state of Iowa he is widely
known and is liked by all classes. He
is a democrat of the old-fashioned
sort, and his party loyalty is unques,
toned. But he is, moreover, man
with an abundance of common sense
and the proprietor of level head on
all questions of national Importance.
He would make as strong candidate
as his party could name, and on him
all elements of the democracy could
get together.
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, of Hi
Inois-Personally am not in favor of
interfering with the tariff. The peo-
pie of my state are not demanding in
reference with the Dingley chedules,
so far as | was able to observe. | am,
| however, in favor Of the Presidents
proposition to appoint tariff commits
sion to make scientific investigation
of the existing tariff laws and recon-
mend to congress such changes as it
may deem necessary. A few years
ago | advocated the appointment of a
similar commission and urged that it
be made permanent body. My puI-
pose then was to secure from acknowl-
edged experts suggestions on which
could be founded permanent tariff
| laws.
Marion Butler, ex-senator from
North Carolina-The race question
has been eliminated from North Caro-,
| lima politics, and the state is undergo
ing a remarkable political change. The
white voters have been liberated from
political slavery, which was worse
than negro slavery Democratic poll
ticians, who have driven the white
man with a lash to the end of which
I the negro was attached, must change
their tactics They can no longer
brighten intelligent men into following
/ them. The inevitable result of the
change will be an era of great prosper
ity in the south The change must
come slowly 1t cannot come in a
years, or in five years, but southern
politics are destined to be controlled
by reason in the near future.

Us necessary 10 real can never be over

sibilities.
Instead of working the destruction
declared for in the foregoing para
graph OF the democratic platform, the
republican party favors the regulations
OF all large commercial and industrial
institutions by laws that will allow
them to carry on their business along
legitimate lines and at the same time
give Justice and protection to every
working man in the United States
against the cheap pauper labor of other
nations.
Instead of taking away the present
tariff and throwing our home in
dustries into direct competition with
those of other nations it is the policy
of the republican party to effect the
lowering the tariff, where ever it is
practical, by means of reciprocity with
other nations. In short instead of Civ
ing everything and getting nothing in
l
to give concessions in a lower tariff
to those countries which will give the
same privileges to the United States.
What could be better or more sensible
as merely a business proposition.
These are the essential differences
between the republican and the demo
cratic propositions that are being pre-
sented to the people in the present
campaign. The one stands for the
! gradual and continued upbuilding of
the American nation, while the other
would call halt in the present rapid
advancement of our interests by in.

be rendered in the courthouse

also received invitations to ap
