THE TARIFF.

Protection which guards and develops
our industries is a cardinal policy of the
Republican party. The measure of pro-
lection should always at least equal the
difference In the cost of production at
home and abroad. We insist upon the
maintenance of the principles of protec-
tion and therefore the rates of 6uty should
be readjusted only when cond tions have
SO changed that the public Interest de-
mands their alteration, but this work cen
not safely be committed to any other
hands than those of the Republican par
ty To intrust it to the Democratic party
is to invite disaster Whether as in 1892
the Democratic party declared the pro-
tective tariff unconstitutional. or whether
1t demands tariff reform or tariff revision,
its real object Is always the destruction
Of the protective system. However spe-
cious the name the purpose Is ever the
same. Democratic tariff has always
been followed by business adversely; a Re-
publican tariff by business prosperity.
