1t involves the principle of protection and
not simply the measure of the duties to be
laid.
A revision of duties should be made only
when conditions have so changed that the
public interest demands their alteration,
and they should be so revised as to pre-
serve and not destroy the protective prin-
ciple.
revision and reduction by those who
regard the tariff robbery must awaken
serious apprehension among all whose capt.
tai is employed or who are engaged at
labor in the various enterprises through
out the country, which depend in large
measure upon the maintenance of the pro-
tective system. A revision of the tariff
along revenue lines means the increased
Importation of the products of foreign
manufacture which come into competition
with our domestic production. 1t means
a loss TO the American wage earners and
to American capital. This is. therefore,
not a theoretical question which is pre-
scented to them, but is one of immediate
and practical moment. 1t can be settled
by them. and by them only.

Will maintain our silver and paper cur

The republican convention did well not
only to pledge anew our fidelity to the gold

equivocaton or doubt as to our infiexible
purpose, not only to maintain the gold
standard. but to keep all silver and paper
currency at a parity with it.
