questions are being debated in congress what Is to be the effect upon the manu- featuring industries that are enjoying the benefits of the high duties that are cer- tain to be reduced if there is any re- vision?
 It would be unwise Mir. Pugh believes, for the democrats in the next session not to support partial revision of tariff duties because the full measure of reduce ton cannot be obtained. Accept all that can be obtained; cooperate with repub- licans in securing the best possible result. Some progress in the direction of reduc- ton is better than no progress is the way MT. Pugh puts 1t. He thinks the national democratic convention should declare for a tariff levied primarily for revenue with desirable incidental protection.
 In regard to trusts. MT. Pugh thinks the late decision of the court in the merger suit will diminish the dangers and evils of such combinations as are covered by the decision, but the evils and expressions of combinations and monopolies created by the Dingley act, he says, will still have an open field. He thinks the democratic convention can be trusted to define the position of the party on this question without going to extremes of any charae- ter.

ROOSEVELT SPEEDS ACROSS THE WEST Met By Large Crowds In Dash
 Across Iowa. HE SPEAKS AT OTTUMWA One of the Largest Crowds That Has Greeted the President Since His
 Trip Began Assembled at
 DesMoines.

Ottumwa, Ia, April 2S-President Roose- welt dashed across the state of Iowa to- day and was everywhere met by large and enthusiastic crowds. His speech making began at o'clock this morning when he made a brief stop at Shenan- doah, and his last speech was delivered here shortly after o'clock tonight be- fore thousands of people. His speech here was preceded by short drive through the city, although his train was late and did not arrive until after dark retary Wilson has done In the field of agriculture.
 The President has had as his guests to- day Congressman Cummins and Secre- tary Shaw, and for part of the day Congressman Hull and Hepburn. He will spend tonight here, leaving at 4:30 0 clock tomorrow morning for Keokuk. and will arrive at St. Louis tomorrow afternoon shortly after o'clock.
 One of the largest crowds that has greeted the President since his trip be- gan was waiting for him at DesMoines this afternoon. He was taken for a long drive through the city and stopped for a moment to address the Mystic Shriners, who were holding a convention there. He was then driven to the capitol, where he made an extended address on Good Citizenship incidentally paying tribute to Congressman Hull for his efforts in securing the new militia law. At Des Moines the President kissed number of babies
 During the drive four mothers, each with baby in her arms, approached his carriage and handed him bouquets of flowers. They held up the babies to be kissed and the President did not disap- point them.

At every place he stopped and at many places where the train didn't stop the little people were congregated waving small American flags. This feature pleased the President very much and he referred to the chil- dren several tines.

Ex-sENAToR PUGH's VIEWS.
Favors Elimination of Silver Issue Ir
 1904.


 Special to the New York Times
 Ex-Senator James L. Pugh of Alabama, who has resided in Washington the greater part of the time since re- tiring from the senate, has furnished for publication signed letter. in which he gives his views In re- gard to the outlook for the democratic party next year and his estimate of cer- tain gentlemen who are mentioned as candidates for the nomination for Pres ident. In the two last national campaigns Mir Pugh was an ardent supporter of Mr. Bryan and an advocate of free silver. He believes, however, that no mention should be made in the national platform of the 16 to fallacy. Platforms, he says, should deal only in fundamental principles, meas ures and policies relating to existing con- ditions and affecting the public welfare.
 MT. Pugh does not believe that the elim- nation of silver coinage from the demo- cratic platform will keep the currency question out of the campaign of 1904 He says one of the most troublesome prob lems for the republicans to solve at the next session of congress is that of cur rency. More money is demanded to carry on the constantly increasing trade of the country. and 1t is insisted that existing laws are inadequate to meet the require ments of the country for additional cur rency. The action on this and other important public questions in the judg- ment of MT. Pugh. will furnish material for the democratic convention to deal with next year.
 MT. Pugh thinks revision of the tariff will be forced into the next campaign as the paramount question.
 Tt is manifest" he says, that the ques- ton of tariff revision is giving the repub- lican party more trouble than anything else. It is full of difficulties that cannot be avoided or overcome by standing pat" or crying. Let well enough alone Then. If revision must be undertaken by the republicans in the next congress. shall It be general or partial and limited? What duties shall be reduced? While thesa
