Much of his speech was devoted to a

business in the dark. Admitting that the

Dunn and cIapp Meet
Of local interest was Senator Clapp's
introduction Of r. e. Dunn and the re-
Spouse of the Republican candidate for
governor.
1.-TWO months ago we had an earnest
and aggressive campaign for governor,
Senator Clapp grinly said. .'Out of the
strife and turmoil came a man who is
the Republican standard bearer in the
state campaign. He is a man strong,
robust and Of sturdy character; a man
who never fiinched and who never waver-
ed, and 1t affords me great pleasure to
present the name of r. C. Dunn, the next
governor of Minnesota. .
There was quite liberal applause as Mr..
Dunn rose, but there was notable quiet
in the front rows where sat the uniformed
Rough Riders of st. Paul and Minneap-
oils. They really couldn't do it.
Mr.. Dunn excused himself from any
thought of making speech, for he said
the audience was present to hear national
issues discussed by men of national rep

There is a very radical difference be-

protective lines and a revision along free
trade lines. The result cannot possibly
be the same in each case upon all Of the

which will menace our Industrial sys-
tenn and diminish the domestic market
of the American farmers. No one is
in doubt as to what it will accomplish.
1t has an approval better than that
give it, and that is the approval of our
past experience
The improved conditions coincident
with the country's development, SEN
ator Fairbanks assumed to be due to
Republican rule. He told of the i'm
provement of the Northwest, in spite
of, instead Of by, virtue of the pro-
tectiye tariff. He said:
Prosperity during the last seven
years of Republican administration has
come to your Industries. to your cities
and villa geS, and to your great agricul-
tural interests. The farmers of Min
nesota who suffered in common with
their countrynen everywhere during
the last Democratic administration,
Or largely to reduce them. Their farms
have increased in value; their crops
have found ready market and at
higher prices, as a rule, than during
Democratic administration. This graf
flying change in conditions has been
due to a change in the policies of the
government, and in the administration
of our national affairs. Good policies
bring good times. Bad policies shake
confidence and produce business disor-
ders.
Open Mill Argument
1.-The farmers prosperity depends
upon a prevalence of prosperous condi-
tons in the country's great eenters Of
consumption. The farmers prosperity
depends upon the open mill, the open
factory and the remunerative employ
ment of the workingmen of the coun-
try. The farmers cannot be Indifferent

ditions in the great Industrial centers
of the country. Those policies which

ported, IL Is vital to the extension of
their markets abroad that they secure
their materials on the most favorable

Our martyred President, William
Mckinley, appreciated this situation.
He pointed out In his last address to
the people that We must make sensible
trade arrangements If I'VE shall extend
the outlets for our increasing surplus. E"
He said, "a system which provides a
mutual exchange Of commodities Is
manifestly essential to the continued
and healthful growth of our export

trade and commerce is the pressing
problem. Commercial wars are un-
profitable. A policy of good will and

prisals. Reciprocity treaties are in

This argument was made in the in
terests OF our manufacturers, whose
products, he urged. 'have so multi
piled, that the problem OF more mar
kets requires our urgent and immediate
attention" He had come to realize
that the so-called stand pat" policy
must give way-that there must be a
reduction Of duties to enable our manu-
facfurers to cultivate foreign markets.

makes 1t necessary that tariff reform
should be prudently and sagaciously
undertaken, ON scientific principles, to
the end that there should not be an
immediate revolution In existing con-
ditions.
In the words OF our platform we de-
mand "A revision and q gradual reduc-
ton of the tariff by the friends of the
masses, and for the common veal, and
not by the friends OF its abuses, Its
extortions and Determinations"
In my response to your committee
pointed out the method under which
a gradual reduction OF customs duties
may be accomplished without disturb
ing business conditions. l desire again
to express the opinion that this method
should be followed. g. -
1t is true that the Republicans, who
do not admit in their platform that the
Dingley tariff needs the slightest alter
alton, are likely to retain q majority
OF the Federal Senate throughout the
next Presidential term, and could,
therefore, IL they chose, block every
attempt at legislative relief. But ii
should be remembered that the Re-
publican party includes many revision
lists, and / believe Ii will shrink from
defyiDg the popular win expressed un-
mistakably and peremptorily at the
ballot box.
The people demand reform Of exist
ing conditions. Since the last Demo
cratic administration the cost OF living
has grievously increased. Those hav-
ing fixed incomes have suffered keenly !;
those living on wages, II there has been
any increase, know that such increase
has not kept pace with the advance in
cost Of living. including rent and the
necessaries OF life. Many to-day are
out OF work, unable to secure any
wages at all. To alleviate these condi-
tons, in SO far as is in our power.
should be our earnest endeavor.

the remedy, which In my judgment
can efrectually be applied against mo.

given that If existing laws, including

infant industries. Many OF these In.
dustries, after q hundred years OF
lusty growth, are looming up as indus
trial giants In their case, at least. the
Dingley tariff invites combination and
monopoly, and gives justification to
the expression that the tariff II the
mother OF trusts.
For the above mentioned reasons,
among many Others, the people demand
reform OF these abuses, and such re-
form demands and should receive Inn
mediate attention.
cope OF AID FROM THE SENATE
The two leading parties have always
differed as to the principle OF customs
taxation. Our party has always ad-
vanced the theory that the object Is
the raising or revenue for support of
the Government whatever other results
may incidentally flow therefrom. The
Republican party. on the other hand.
contends that customs duties should be
levied primarily for protection, so
called, with revenue as the subordinate
purpose. thus using the power of taxa
ton to build up the business and prop
erty OF the few at the expense OF the
many.
