Washington Aug. 22-The Secretary of Ag-
riculture returned to Washington to-day from
the West. When he asked to define the
tariff plank adopted by the Republicans of
Iowa, Secretary Wilson said:

those schedules that adopted TO protect

That is what they expect of the Republican
party. They are particularly anxious to see

said that the people were enthusiastic in their

manly. They have every confidence that the

it proves defective. the President will advise
Congress to that effect, and that Congress Will
