(
The Republican party, therefore, says
to him: Unless you consent to be an
American consumer, you shall not be
an American producer. You must be
an American in both respects or you
cannot enter American territory"
Republican laws against imported
contract labor are of the same class.
But for these laws manufacturers
would go abroad, hire laborers at the
european scale of wages. and bring
them to this country under contract
to work below the American scale
This was once the practice to the
prejudice not only of labor, but to
the prejudice of the American farmer
as we'll. Low wages compel poor liv-
ing, and poor living harms the far
mer and the manufacturer also, for it
restricts the consumptive capacity Of
the country

IMPORTANCE OF HOME MARKET.

The following is an extract from a
speech made by Ex-Governor Shaw at
Des Moines in 1904.
1t should be remembered that the
argument of the fathers in favor of
protective tariffs were based upon con-
ditions known to the fathers. The
price Of labor in the United States
was not then higher than in other
countries, and no one anticipated the
marked difference which has develop
ed. 1t was therefore. assumed and
urged that il American industries
could be protected until they were
thoroughly established thereafter they
would be able to survive. 1t follows,
therefore, that the infant-industry
argument. pertinent when used, Is now
outgroWn. The early. advocates of
protection were wiser than they
knew, and the American scale of
wages--from fifty to one hundred per
cent higher than in other countries
make necessary continuation OF the
protective policy responsible there
for.
There Is one other marked differ
enco in conditions prevailing now and
fifty years ago. The cost of trans
portauon from Europe to the United
States at one time afforded quite a
degree of protection to the American
producer. Cheap freight rates have
very nearly wiped this out, for the
English mechanic can now pay the
freight on years supply of food
from Chicago to Liverpool with the
proceeds of single days work.
am not urging that the existing
iron and steel schedule should be con-
tinued indefinitely, but do Insist that
to remove the tariff altogether would
permit European producers Of iron
and steel in every time of financial
depression to unload their surplus in
this country to the closing of every
factory and the extinguishment of
every furnace; and this in turn would
result in the discharge of more. than
half million operatives II freight
rates were as high as they were when
Daniel Webster and Henry Clay made
their famous speeches in behalf of
protection, tariff rates on the products
of well-established industries could be
made much lower than would be safe
under existing nominal freight rates.
| desire to call attention to one
other marked difference in tho posi-.
ton taken by the two parties. The
Democratic party has always laid sole
stress upon the Importance OF the
foreign market The Republican
party, ever mindful Of the Importance
of the foreign market, lays greater
stress upon the Importance OF the
home market. Every Democratic
speech and every Democratic message
TO congress within the last forty years
has emphasized the value of the
foreign market to the utter belittle-
ment OF our enormous and ureuualed
home market

The election of 1924 was a decided

The election of 1924 was a decided
change from the campaign of harmony
and good feeling which had preceded
for a number OF years. President Mon
roe, having completed two terms. was
no longer candidate for the presi,
dency. This left the field open for a
heated controversy and the campaign
which ensued was, as a result or party
disintegration, mainly personal and
therefore both petty and bitter. It was
more campaign of men than of par
ties. As matter OF fact bot one of
the aspirants was any party's nomi-

In the campaign Of 1928 there were
still practically no political differ

ton, as regarded party lines. 1t was
again campaign in men rather than
principles
The chief feature involved and The.
main issue put to the voters for settle
ment was in connection with the SET
t.ement OF IoEn Quincy Adams, four
years before by the house of represent
tatives. in the face of larger popula'
majority for Andrew Jackson. 1t will
be remembered that because of the
number Of candidates 4or president IN
1924 no candidate received the ncces-
sary majority, and under the constitl-
ton the choice fell to the house OF rep
resentatives. Under tho influence OF
Speaker Henry Cay the house reject
ed Jackson's and chose Adams de-
spite the fact that Jackson not only
led in the electoral college on the first
count, but also despite the fact that
Jackson led in popular votes at the
polls.
Adams had made Henry Clay his
secretary of state, and much bitter
ness was aroused because of the
charge that Clay had own his sup.
port in the house of representative to
Adams as part Of a bargain, in which
he was to gain the portfolio OF state as
his reward. Both Clay and Adams III
dignantly denied any such DEAL but it
was inevitable that the result of such
situation should become the chiaf
factor in the campaign Of 1928.

the presidency in 1924. John raincy
Adams, William III. Crawford, John G..
Calhoun, Henry Clay and Andrew
Jackson. Before the campaign was
well advanced Calhoun withdrew be-
cause of the assurance of an undis-
puted election to the vice presidency
True to this arrangement all of the
iactional powers united in making
good the promise to Calhoun and he
was elected vice president by sub
stantlal majority But with four can.
dldates remaining in The race for the
presidency, IL was natural, in view OF
the close divisions of interests, that
no one candidate could receive ma
jority i'll the electoral college. Jack
son led with 80. Adams came next
with "a, then Crawford with Al, Clay
bringing ND the rear with 81. Jackson
had received plurality Of the popular
vote, which indicated lie was the
choice of the people, hut under the
constitution there was no election and
for the second time in our history
decision devolved upon the house Of
representatives voting by states.
AS the constitution provided that
the choice i'll such cases chould be
made from the three highest cundi-
dates on the list, Clay had to be
dropped from the contest. Had his
name come before the house. over
which, it must be remembered he pre-
sided as speaker, II is practically Ger,
tain he would have been promptly
chosen, as his ascendency over that
body was we'll nigh complete. Thus
eliminated from tho contest before
the house Of representatives, Clay
was left master of the situation, with
power TO decide which one OF his
three rivals should be given the prize.
1t was well known that the represen.
tatives of these states which had cast
their electoral vote for Clay originally.
namely Kentucky, Missouri and Ohio,
would vote with him in the house and
that many others would also follow
his lead
Clay was opposed to Jackson, whom
he repeatedly stigmatized as Il dan.
gerous military cheftan. Crawford
suffered stroke. OF paralysis which
physically eliminated him from the
field of sane possibilities. Thus there
remained only JOHN Quincy Adams
and Adams accordingly inheriting the
support of Clay, received the election.
lie was chosen by l3 states as against
seven Tor Jackson and four for Craw
fCrd.
With the election of John Quincy
Adams to the presidency, it is inter.
esting to note that the candidate who
had received the unquestionable plur-
ality at the polls and the candidate
who had received the highest electoral
vote in the electoral college, was
forced TO submit to the choice, OF one

MR.. MooRE,s POSITION.


Ed ]. Moore, Republican candidate
for representative from Wapello coun-
ty. in the Iowa legislature, has issued
the following statement relative to
his position ON the senatorship pri-
mary:
To the Republican voters of Wapello
county:
Actuated by desire to promote
harmony and erase fac,ior.sl lines
within our party. have decided to
make known in this manner my posi-
tfon regarding the coming senatorial
primary
| want every voter to know that if
am elected member of The next
Legislature. | VIII abide by the pri-
mary law. | will cast my ballot for
United States senator in accordance
with the will of the majority of the
Republicans Of iowa as expressed at
the coming primary Hoping this dec
laratton will met with your approval
| am,
Yours truly,
Ed J. Moore.
This IS a plain, straightforward
statement that should be approved by
all Republican voters. On election day
every Republican will be given an ex-
ira ballot on which will be printed
the names OF Major Lacey and Gov.
Cummins, the two senatorial candi
dates. The voters will express their
preference as between these two can
didates. The will of the majority will
thus be expressed and the legislature
will be bound by the result Of this
preference vote in electing senator
for the Allison succession. Mr.. Moore
does not want any misunderstanding
rs to his position. He will abide by
the will OF the majority and cast his
ballot for the candidate receiving the
majority vote. Mr.. Moore should re-
ceive the vote Of every Republican in
the county, regardless Of the vote on
senatorial candidates

Industrial Missions, Christian Litera- ture and the organization of the Native Church. Dr. Chamberlain was well known for his interest in great questions affecting the whole of the country; for instance he was a leader in bringing about the union of the Presbyterian churches in India, his voice was always potent in the counsels of his brethern. In short, the keynote of his life was his determination to do Gods will. He gave his best, his ali, his entire life to the country of his adoption.
 The Rev. Dr. Cobb, Secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions. a life long friend, bore strong testimony to the strength and beauty of the character of the great missionary. He went forth forty mine years ago from this church, having been ordained earlier ill this very edifce. During his missionary life some of the traits manifested by him were these: he was mechanical genius, a diplomatist, politician Gin good sense,) large minded, firm in purpose, loving and gentle in disposition, sym pathetic, indefatigable worker.
