says:
I'VE believe In tariff for revenue
only. There should be immediate re-
lief granted to the people who nre
now being robbed by extortionate
prices exacted under the shelter If
tariff. We believe that the people Of
this country who produce our wealth
to pay our taxes to fight the battles
of the republic are entitled to pus-
chase the goods manufactured in this
country as cheaply as the people who
reside abroad. We denounce the ex.
tortion inflicted upon our people un,tcr
the pretense of protection as al cut
rage upon the consumer and upon
the poor and upon the laboring people
who produce the wealth of the coun-
try We believe the tariff should be
removed from all trust made goods
and in the removal of all duties on
iron, steel, lumber and coal. We de-
mand the enactment of such legisla.
ton as will effectually destroy all
trusts and the strict enforcement OF
all laws concerning the same, and
we denounce the executive Of the
state of Iowa for failure to enforce
existing laws"
