been holding conferences to deter
mine what they shall do on the
tariff question at their approach
ing State convention, and to what
extent the Iowa idea" shall be
given life and vitality. The "Iowa
idea" rejects the notion that the
Republican party shall "stand
pat'' on the tariff as embodied in
thesDingley bill, but it is to be
seen to what extent it has the
courage of it's convictions. The
present idea is to defer any agita-
ton of the tariff question in or
out of,the Republican party until
after the presidential election, and
this viii probably prevail among
the politicians, >as it is also said to
be the plan favored by President
Roosevelt. Virtually it means
lodging the issue for a more con-
venient season. The Iowa plat
form will not demand immediate
revision; will declare free trade,
which no one proposes, would be a
National calamity; but here comes
in the saving clause in a declara-
ton that the tariff schedules
should be adjusted from time to
time to meet changed conditions,
and especially where it is found
the tariff is sffording shelter to
monopoly.
1t is this last declaration that is
likely to cause trouble, as it is
something of an open-door doc
trine as to future revision. If the
present tariff shelters monopoly,
which very few dispute, why
should reform be postponed until
after the presidential election,
which practically means indefinite
postponement?
The Western farmers, Republi-
cans and Democrats, are pretty
thoroughly aroused as to the in
justice of the Dingley tariff to
their peculiar interests. The wire
for the farmers fences is taxed
from 40 per cent upward. Wood
screws are taxed cents pound,
equivalent at some stages of the
market to rs per cent. The horse
clothing he needs for his team Is
taxed at least 40 per cent. The
window glass in his house is taxed
at least 66 per cent, and much of
it still higher. The cheapest car
pets are taxed from Is cents to A
cents yard plus A per cent, fire.
quently amounting to 100 per
cent. His rubber boots and
blankets are taxed A cents a
pound plus 60 per cent, and rare
ly less than 100 per cent. On
jackets and overgarments for him
self and family the same tax is
levied. On shotgun the tax is
SO per cent at the lowest, and on
his pocket knife it is at the low
est 100 per cent.
This list might be extended in
definitely. 1t ends in the general
fact that the farmer has to sell his
products in the cheapest market in
the world, and buy his supplies in
the dearest, because of the excess
SEES of protective taxation. The
Western farmers are waking up,
and when they are thoroughly
aroused, then may come a cyclone
in politics. 1t is due about 1904.
On the other hand, the trusts and
monopolies are determined that
not line of the sacred tariff shall
be touched. 1t is not improbable
that this may be the determining
factor in next years contest
