TIE IOWA lpEA.n

Iowa is furnishing the politicians Of
the country with about the only politi-
cal sensations that are going these
days And these are mild In COM
parison with the usual strenuous
Western politics. A few days ago the
Democrats held their convention and
incontinently kicked out the Kansas
city platform. although a Bryan Demo-
crat was nominated for governor. To-
morrow the Republicans in convention
viii nominate state ticket. and the
press Of the country is showing a mild
interest in the platform that will be
adopted. The question is asked whether
what is known as the Iowa idea" will
dominate the convention.
The Philadelphia Press contends that
the Iowa idea" is the Republican idea,
and that it is perfectly consistent with
the protective principle. and In har-
mony with the ideas Of such experts
as Blaine, Mckinley and Dingley. In
this assertion we concur. The key note
Of the Iowa idea" is found in the plat
form adopted at the last convention in
which in referring to the tariff there
occurs this qualifying phrase: such
changes therein as from time to time
become advisable through the progress
Of our industries and their changing
relations to the commerce Of the
world"
That means simply that while Re-
publicans believe in the policy of pro.
lection, yet they hold no particular
schedule sacred. Probably no tarin
schedule that could be framed woul,
be unobjectionabe in every item, an,
undoubtedly the changing relations o
commerce" should be taken into con,
sideration. and adjustments madl
from time to time But whether or no
that plank is adopted, the question o
the expediency OF revising the tariff a
the present time is left open. Il ma.
still be held that our present tariff Law
is so good in all essentials that an,
revision is unadvisable and yet tn
Iowa idea" may be endorsed.
It viii be remembered that at the las
State convention OF the Delaware Re
publicans a tarin plank was adopte
similar to that Of the Iowa Republican,
But nobody interpreted it as being a
abandonment OF the protective prin
ciple. AS a matter Of fact we are wed
y ded to that principle. II has been

Cotton Speculation.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Batween workmens strikes for higher
wages and speculators strikes for higher
priced cotton, textile manufacturers have
been kept ON the ragged edge OF anxiety
ever since the opening of The busy sum
mer season. = ey note that cotton ex-
changes are no. only effective devices to
absorb surplus product and maintain
stable prices. but also convenient agencies
for cornerng the market under favorable
speculative conditions. To advance prices
of manufactured goods would lessen con.
sumption end let in a larger volume OF
fcre gn competition. There is no recourse
save to shut down and wait until the spec
ulat've furry shall have subsded.
One year ago, with a supply Of 2.5lo.OOt
bales In open market the world ovev. the
price OF cotton ranged from nine ~ ten
cents per pound. At the presert time
with a visible supply stated .ls 2SI429l
bales, raw cotton prices are jumping be.
tween thirteen and fourteen cents pei
pound. Why is this thus. The relativ,
decrease OF stock for spinncrs' Lsc is u

over 25 per cent. But last yeag there wa,
