We look upon the landmarks of our
history and pronounce them good and
we do this without contentious parti-
san division
There is close relation, my friends,
between individual liberty and indus
trial freedom. The republican party
has never failed to keep this relation
in mind, though it has often been
charged, as it is now charged, with
Indifference toward one or the other.
But I insist, and you will insist, that
the party has been steadfast in its
support of the underlying and vital
principles which called it into being.
In the national convention of the
party in Chicago in 1860,at the thresh-
old Of it's national responsibility and
power, this declaration was made:
THAT, while providing revenue for
the support Of the general government
by duties upon imports, sound policy
requires such an adjustment of these
imposts as to encourage the develop
ment of the industrial interests Of the
whole country; and we commend that
policy of national exchanges which Sc
cures to the workingmen liberal
wages, to agriculture remunerative
prices, to mechanics and manufactur-
ers an adequate reward for their
skill, labor and enterprise, and to the
nation commercial prosperity and in,
dependence"
I feel free to predict that this con,
vention might easily, without reserva'
ton, reaffirm that plank from the plat
form Of 1860.
After four years of industrial war
blighted hopes and broken promises
the rule of the democratic party at
Washington was broken by the return
of the republican party in 1897 to its
rightful place. In the st. Louis con-
vention of the year before, in the plat
form upon which Mckinley was elect
ed and in the platform upon which
republican congress was elected, the
national republican party declared;
eve renew and emphasize our ale
glance to the policy Of protection as
the buIwark of American independ'
ence and the foundation Of American
DEVELOPMENT and prosperity. This
true American policy taxes foreign
products and encourages homo indus
try: it puts the burden OF revenue on
foreign goods; it secures the Ameri-
can market for the American pro-
Queer: it upholds the American stand
ard of wages for the American work
ingman; it puts the factory by the
side of the farm, and makes the Amer
lean farmer less dependent on foreign
demand and price; it diffuses general
thrift. and POUNDS the strength of all
in the strength of each. In its reas'
enable application it is just, fair and
impartial, equally opposed to foreign
control and domestic monopoly,to sec
tional discrimination and individual
| favoritism."
That, I take it, is the tariff platform
of the republican party of Iowa. The
republicans of this state have made
no departure; they are unlikely to do
SO. They stand by the historic poll
cy of the republican party in giving
protection to home industries, and
point for its ample vindication to the
extraordinary rapidity with which our

STATE REPUBLICANS.
Gov. Cummins Renominated--Riggs
for Superintendent.

Des Moines, July AFTER nominal
ing the above ticket and adopting a
platform that will be entirely salts
factory to every republican in the
state, the 1903 state convention of the
Grand Old Party adjourned. The ses-
sion this afternoon was one of bust
ness from start to finish.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1903-07-02

Des Moines, July 1T was some
little time after two O'Clock, the hour
appointed for the opening of the d.
ternoon session, when the delegates
were found seated and the convention
got down to work once more.
The first enthusiasm of the after
noon broke loose with the receiving
of the report of the committee upon
permanent organization. Hon. Nate
E. Kendall of Abba Monroe county,
was made permanent chairman Of the
convention, and in taking the gavel he
responded to the honor in brief but
red hot address that captured the con-
vention. Nate declared that the re-
publicans would have a majority in
the state at the November election OF
a round one hundred thousand, and
the way the entire house whooped 1t
up in approval of the sentiments eX-
pressed was good to hear.
E. w. Weeks was made permanent
secretary.
Governor Cummins was chosen by
reclamation as candidate to succeed
himself as governor of the great state
of Iowa. and the enthusiasm of the
house again went off en- a celebration.
The governor made an appropriate re-
sponse to the calls made for him. 1t
was a brief talk but full Of republican,
ism of the best sort.
Herriott was nominated by acclama-
ton to be a candidate to succeed him.
self to the office Of lieutenant govern
or. The thing was done neatly and
quickly and amid the almost unbound
ed enthusiasm of the assembled dele
gates and multitude.
The nomination Of candidate Tor
the Office of superintendent OF public
instruction followed. The first ballot
was made formal and the bother OF
an informal ballot was done away
with. Three candidates were in the

THE CURE OF CANCER
NOW SEEMS ASSURED
DR.. Schmidt, of Cologne, Claims He
Has Isolated the Specific
Parasite.

LONDON. Nov. 1o.-Important results
have been attained by the new cancer

Otto Schmidt. Of Cologne. and inves f.
gated by DR.. Jesse Johnson. OF London,
VINO has given the results OF his OBJ
sorvatiOn TO the medical society here,
DR. Schmidt does not claim fnality for
his discovery, but he asserts that he has
isolated the specific parasite which
causes cancer.
Many parasites have already been dis
covered. notably by DIR. Gaylord n
America. associated with cancer DR..
Sehmidt maintains that they are all one
and the same. their shape and appear
ance being determined by varying con-
dttiOns. BY altering the conditions,
Schmidt has made his parasite assume
all these different appearances. He uses
this parasite in two different forms
either sterilized as serum or obtained in
the usual way by inoculating animals.

NEGROES
WITHIN A FEW STATES
Bishop Halsey Offers This as the Only
Solution Of the Race Prob
lem in the South.

The segregation OF negroes ia one or
more States is the solution of the race
problem offered by Bishop Lucien Hal
sey. Of the African Methodist Zion
Church. IN the first meeting OF the
Washington conference Of the National
Sociological Society. This proposition
was warmly discussed on both sides,
but no resolutions on the matter were
introduced.
In his paper Bishop Halsey proposed
to have the colored race given one or
more States in which TO live exclusively.
and from which the white race should
be barred.
IL was argued on the other hand, that
such absolute separation from the white
man meant that the negro race would
never be elevated, and that the plan
was utterly impracticable.
a number Of impromptu speeches were
made at this session. Among those who
spoke were DIR. Glenn, of the Bureau OF
Education; W p. Burrell, secretary of
the True Reformers; DIR. John Gordon,

concessions will be made in these figures
before our agents in London come to the
point OF Withdrawing sovereigns from

sumed by leading foreign exchange
houses is that, inasmuch as Europe
seems reluctant to part with SIS gold at
present. it Will be poor policy for us to
force her hand until really necessary to
do so: that is. until definite signs of a
real money stringency appear here.
European investors are just now very
well disposed toward our bonds and

customers OF our large banking houses

they have been for two years. Needless
Withdrawals of gold from the leading

serve to check this buying, and so do
more harm than good to the American

STEEL STOCKS SINK
TO NEW LOW RECORD
Both Issues Make Heavy Declines, and
With the Aid of Pennsylvania Had
the Market On Downward Course.

NEW YORK. Nov. lO.-The feature of
the stock market this morning was the
weakness of the trunk lines, which de-
pend largely on the steel and coal in
dustry FOR their tonnage As there were
no further price cuts in steel and iron
products. the movement appeared TO be
simply the cul ulninatfOn in liquidation Of
the recent bearish pressure on this
group.
The weakness in the railway list was
preceded by 4 further decline of rs per
cent in United States Steel preferred
and a fractional loss In the common.
both issues making new low records.
Pennsylvania was sold steadily from
the start, and finally showed a loss Of
per cent New York Central was more
active than usual. and declined over a

cidedly stronE.
Outside of the discussion Of the re-
action in the steel trade the depressing
influence in speculation related TO the
increasing hrnness Of the money mar
ket. both here and abroad.

ness amounted TO probably 1900 shares.

this morning was 4s7s. The common
shares sold down 10 105s.
The Washington times., 1903-11-10

More than 100000 shares of stock were
dealt in during the first hour on the
exchange this morning. The heavy vol
ume OF business was accounted for by
a selling movement in Pennsylvania and
the continued liquidation OF Steel.
Operators were at loss to account for
the extreme weakness in Pennsylvania
today. Beginning with the opening.
great pressure was brought to bear on
the stocks, and a loss of several points
was soon scored. Since last week the
common has declined 8 points.
The hopeful sentiment in evidence sew
eral days ago among the trading ele-
ment seems to have disappeared through
the adverse sentimental influence of the
steel trade. The market is narrower
than ever before IN consequence, and
investors are losing confidence.
Railroad stocks seem to be held by
insiders. and are looked upon as good
investments. The railway business has
been so heavy that these securities are
not likely to feel the effect of bear pres
sure on some industrials

gagged for that purpose.
I should describe sentiment 10 be
conservatively bearish." said a broker
People are afraid to sell stocks short
but fear that prices are going lower.
The disposition to buy speculative
stocks on the dips is not as pronounced
as It was little while ago"
For several days speculative interest
has been so much preoecupied with de-
velopments in the Steel shares that rail-
road stocks have beer. neglected TO an
unusual extent. During this period the
| aggregate Of speculative transactions in
the railroad list has been smaller, per-
haps. than during any corresponding
period OF two or three years.
The accuracy with which a certain
clique OF professional tipsters has fore
told market movements in the past few
weeks, especially the movements Of
United States Steel, has occasicned a
great deal Of comment The prophet not
