SUBSCRIPTION T
THE ALLISON RESOLUTION

1t is apparent from the reading cf
the Allison resolution, which the
Iowa State Republican convention "a
ccpted as satisfactory. and as putt ng
the party OF that state in harmony
with the principles Of ex-speaker Hen
derson did not misinterpret the ser
icusness of the declaration in last
years Iowa platfJrm-"the Iowa idea
The party OF that state was then in a
funk On the trust question and adopt
ed a principle that won't stand the les,
OF examination. Senator Allison has
undertaken to construct a corduroy
road that will lead the lost and be-
wildered ones out of the malaTial and
moquisto infected swamp of fraction
al free trade and back to the high and
firm ground of steadfast and impartia
protection.
The resolution admirably fulflls this
Office. II is pronounced and emphatic
in its devotion to protection and very
properly says that under the benign
influence of this principle capital has
created industries and developed the
resources of the country in a splendid
manner and the success OF the ReDub
lican tariff has been its indicator. tt
declares directly against the discrimi-
nations in the tariff, the very thing
that last years platform demanded
and very justly points out that though
schedules may demand modification
from time to time these changes must
be made on general lines, and not with
a view to punishment or rewards. and
that when made the changes must be
formulated according to Republican
principles.
With this lead into right paths. and
in straight lines, the Iowa Republicans
will have no difficulty next year in en-.
dorsing without reserve the Wholesome
and undiluted declaration in support
of protection which the Republican ma
tional convention will make.
That reciprocity is the natural com
plement of protection, as the Allison
resolution declares, is generally recog-
nlzed; but only when applied by Re
publican statesmen. Reciprocity on
Democratic lines could be made to
subserve and enforce all the vicious
effects and vagaries of free trade.
Hence the Importance of having reci-
procity conducted on protective lines.
and by Republicans, as well as hay
ing Republicans alone deal with
changes in the tariff. Under Democra-
tic auspices, reciprocity could as cas-
lily ruin the country as if it were spell
ed free trade straight.
The declaration in regard to bust
ness and trade combinations is reason
able and just. No n could 90 fur
Their, specially Bryanward, without
aiming a seriuOs blow at the industries
and financial operations of the coun-
try. The right of combination of cap.
Ital for better economic use is Just as
undoubted as that of any sort of q
combination; the restriction is against
combinations for m~onopoIistic pur.
poses or in restraint of competition
and trade. The commentator of the
administration for its efforts in JUS
restraint Of oppressive combination.
were warmly approved, and a just tri.
butte was paid to the recent legislator
by Congress under this head.
Senator Allison has proved himself
a master of diplomacy and of the ar
OF putting things, in the draft CT thi.
harmony platform. 1t is good for the
whole country to read and think upon
but especially beneficial for the Iowa
Republicans.-Salt Lake Tribune.
