The "Iowa Idea" Triumphs.

The n,atform of the Iowa republicans is
now before the country. and surely it's
treatment of the tariff question is entirely
accountable to every friend of tariff revision.
What Is known as the Iowa idea is most
distinctly Endorsed. Gov. Cummins. its
foremost advocate and representative, Is
the nominee by acclamation for reelection.
and his party at home is enthusiastically
behind him. What more could the tari1
reyisonists ask of Iowa? And If Gov.
Cummins is reelected. as seems almost GER
tain, after a campaign conducted by nun
aggressively in explanation of his views.
how will il be possible for the next repuD-
lican national convention to frame Its tarfn
deliverance on other than revision lines!
This result in Iowa has never been In Sc
rious doubt. The effort has been made not
only by some standpatters but by the po-
litical opponents of the republican revision
lists to confuse the situation. and even to
misrepresent the issue. Protection. as We
all know. has never been assailed by the
revisionists. Nor has the wisdom which
fashioned the Dingley bill ever been ques-
toned by them. They have been at pains
at all times to pay tribute both to protec-
ton and to the sagacity and patriotism OF
the men who applied that policy to the
years ago. Of the return of the party OF
protection to power At Des Moines yes
terday therefore. 1t was but question Of
giving an intelligent expression to views
which had never been challenged by any
thing more convincing than the lofty gen.
eraIizatiop to stand pat.
OF course. we cannot stand pat" In the
sense in which 1t Is urged by the Aldrich
wing of the republican party. Laws which
make for progress must, in the very ma
ture of things. when progress comes. be
changed. They must be adjusted to suit
the conditions they assist in producing.
The Dingley bill was passed to meet an
emergency. 1t very much more than ac-
complished it's object. The emergency has
long since passed. Where there was de-
preston then there is buoyancy now. So
that we need to have the law which has
brought us out of 1.-The valley of the
shadow of death changed to help US
along the highway of sunlight and pros
perity. That is all the revisionists are
asking. Less than that the country cannot
afford to accept.
Revision is coming. Ohio has spoken for
1t. Iowa follows. The sentiment is strong.
and is growing. Every month of prosper
ity adds to the necessity of overhauling our
tariff schedules in the interests of equity
and common sense.

one Of joyous hullabaloO
This year the principal orators chosen are
Senator Bailey and ex-senator Towne. two
men of very high character and very high
ability. The one represents the democracy
of the south and the other the democracy
of the northwest. Neither takes the east
ern view of the money question. Both have
been vigorous critics of the Cleveland wing
of the democratic party. But time and de-
feat have somewhat softened their feelings.

be able to enjoy New York as place OF
residence. and to pocket with equanimity
some fat fees earned in the neighborhood of
Wall street. 1t will not be embarrassing.
therefore. on political grounds for, these
men to speak at Tammany's meeting and
unbosom themselves on the issues of the
day.
But will their deliverances contribute to
harmony? 1t is to be doubted. The Cleve-
land people are very exacting. 1t was Mr..
Bryan who few years ago laid down the
terms upon which the gold democrats would
be received back into the party. They must
come in sackcloth and ashes. confessing
and regretting their sins But this is now
the tone held by the gold men toward the
Bryanites. The friends of silver must con-
fess that in the campaigns of 1896 and 1850
they were entirely wrong, and agree not to
press their views further. before the terms
of a united effort against the republicans
for next year can be 80 much as seriously
discussed.
Tammany in its approaching demonstra-
ton has not. of course. party harmony on
a national scale in view. At most it is
figuring on harmony In the city in next
falls local campaign, and Is trading on the
prestige of its distinguished guests. But
| it seems hardly possible for Mr.. Bailey and
Mr.. Towne to avoid national topics. or in
treating them to avoid saying something
that will bear on the party's national prob
lem. How will they acquit themselves?

If the organizers of the trusts would be

If the organizers of the trusts would be
satisfied to reduce every interest-bearing
obligation to the lowest terms and to let the
stock of the corporation stand as the chief
issue rather than the bonds there would
be less difficulty about maintaining these
giant organizations. 1t is a common belief
that there have been such heavy profits
among certain capitalists in the mere or
ganization of trusts in which their own
funds have not been involved that the busi-
ness attracting others. has been oyerdone.
Professional trust makers who have moth
ing at stake beyond the amotiIit of their
