THEY'RE MAKING THE ISSUE.

Iowa Republicans lending n forlorn hope in
their nsistence that the Republican party shall be
come a party of tariff reform The protectionist in
fuence is too strong in that organization to permit OF
surrender of the creed that the tariff is sacred
instrument and that its provisions must be held in
violate.
Nevertheless, the champions of "the Iowa idea
doing good work for tariff revision Their I'M
successful fight within the ranks Of their own party
will carry its plain teaching to the American people
1t will convince the voters of this country that is
folly to expect anything in the nature Of tariff reform
from the Republican party in control Of the Govern
ment.
The logical result of this teaching will be to in
cline to the Democratic party many voters who would
prefer support the Republican ticket year. but
who demand revision Of the tariff and who will
vote for the Democratic candidates on that issue.
Democracy has always been the party of tariff re-
form. and ringing declaration against Dingeyism in
the party's 1904 platform will prutably emphasize
this truth upon the minds of American voters 1t is
opportunity which may be improved to the party
utmost advantage, and campaign with the tariff as
the paramount issue would contain exceptional PROM
se Of Democratic victory at the peIls.-
Tariff revision along Democratic lines will carry

the evil trusts which owe their existence and

political fight more purely and consistently Demo

dication thar the public sentiment Of this country in
favor Of tariff reform so strong as at the
present moment The controversy inside the Re

Democratic leaders may wen AFFORD to recognize the
significance OF these truths and to arrange their plan
of campaign accordingly. The tartn win be the log

STIMULATING DEFINITION
According to John Barrett, Commissioner to the
Assatic countries II was uphill work to get the Oren-
tai peoples interested In the matter Of Worlds Fair
representation The occasion did not at first appeal
to them. The name Louisiana Purchase Exposition"
conveyed no meaning
Mr.. Barrett tells Of Chinaman who addressed an
audience Of his fellows In behalf of Worlds Fair
work. They sought to know what the title meant
The Chinaman replied that The Exposition called
Louisiana" because 1t was to be held in a State
bearing that name, and Purchase" because all the
exhibits would be purchased by Americans. The
statement made immediate and enthusiastic friends
The good Chinamsn was not far wrong Although

caso he may hope to sell the very articles.

China, japan, Siam, Korea, India, the Philippines
and other parts Of the Far East have arranged to

caught the spirit Of the project comprehending its
full significance. The example Of their lavishly free
expenditures and the enormous scale of their rep
resentxtion should awaken increased enthusiasm both
in Western Europe and among the United States
themselves.

While there may be some difficulty in providing
adequate rapid transit Accommodations for the big
crowds that will be assembled ON the Worlds Fair
site at the time Of the dedicatory ceremonies the pros
pect now is that the local street railway companies
appreciate the Importance of the task with which
they confronted and that they VIII do their best
to be equal to its adequate performance. At any
rate the lesson to be taught at that time is Of the
most value as bearing upon the demands of the
