No Time to Revise Tariff.
Senator Beveridge presided and made
the principal address:
After we elect our president we
will revise our tariff. any man in any
party who purposes tariff revision on
the eve Of a national election is either
too uniformed or too insincere to be
trusted Tariff revision unsettles some
what the legitimate business of the
country, but a tariff revision before
a presidential election would prolong
that disturbance for ruinous months
Meanwhile a tariff commission should
gather the facts and have them ready
for congress.
We must amend the railway rate
law al points where il is defective.
We must make modern the sherman
law, which now shackles honest enter
prise because it does not fit present
conditions We must prevent over
capitalization and the swindling for
which it furnishes opportunity and ex-
cuse. We must drive the canal to
completion and improve the nations
waterways that the people may have
the transportation designed by nature.
Must End Child Labor.
And we must and viii end the
infamy OF child labor in this republic.
Those who say that it is unconsti
tutional for the nation to stop this
national evil deny the authority Of the
supreme court and the validity Of a
dozen similar laws already on the
statue books. We republicans regard
the constitution as Marshall regarded
1.-THE chart Of progress. not the shield
OF wrong"
