friends or Protection. We do
not need to remind our friends
among wage workers as well as
among share holders that when
the Tariff was revised by the
enemies Of Protection in 1894 We
had small employment, well dis.
tributed free soup houses, hard
ship for capital and for labor. In
Mondays conference between
President Roosevelt, Speaker
Cannon and others, the Presi-
dent agreed with the members
that revision Of the Tariff will
como when demanded by busi-
ness interests, and by the well
fare Of the plain people and that
such revision must be effected in
the light Of experience rather
than in the twilight of raw ma
terialism. Since the Democratic
Tariff was superseded by the
Dingley Tariff, we have doubled
our business, foreign and domes-
tic, whereas under the Democra-
tic Tariff Of q dozen years ago,
we sold few manufacturer to
Europe and consumed 50 per-
cent less goods ct home. We
have increased our exports Of
American manufactures up
wards Of 200 per cent. aud haYe

Having more business than we
can easily do under the Dingley
Taritf, It follows that il We want

the tendency Of manufatures to

nearby Chicago, and partially be-

ture to raise corn and wheat
rather than to weave wool and
cotton. The chief reason why
Iowa ID not developed In popula-

power tools. farming il carried
on BY steam, electricity and
horse power rather than under
the old hand system. Iowa can
cultivate her fertile soil ct much
