RECIPROCITY FAVORED
We are uncompromisingl in favor
Of the American system OF protection.
Duties on foreign imports should not
be levied for revenue only, but should
be so adjusted as to promote our do
mestic interests enlarge our foreign
markets. secure remuneratjve price for
the products OF our factories andefarms
and maintain superior scale OF wages
labor. Wise and unselfish tariff laws
maintained in the interest of the gen
eral welfare, equally opposed TO foreign
control and domestic monopoly, are es-
sential TO our commercial and. indus.
trial prosperity.
We. believe that all Inequalities in
the tariff schedules, which inevitably
arise from changing industrial and
comm ercial conditions, should he ad-

ing without reserve all assaults upon
the: protective system, we favor such
reasonable and timely changes as will
keep the tariff in harmony with our

by Blaine, advocated. by Mckinley and
Roosevelt as recognized in Republican
platforms and legislation.
