The Platform.

Probably the most important declar,
alton in the Republican platform Is
the plank favoring tariff revision. In
explanation 1t may be said that this
does not mean an abatement in any
tot or title Of the Republican policy
of protection. 1t means simply tina.
the tariff schedules are to be gone
over critically; Tint where abuses
have arisen through unnecessary pro.
lection, they will be corrected and
wherever and whenever It is possible
to create n new American industry
or stimulate one already existing. by
imposing new duties. we Will not hes
itatee to do so. Wheeling people to-day
have the most striking evidence OF
the benefit of the protective principle.
We are undergoing business depres-
sion. These things occur with some
regularity periodically. What woul.l
be the situation in this valley II the
tin plate and sheet mills had all been
shut down rs some OF your other
plants have been, yet twelve years
ago we didn't have tin plate mill of
any size In this wl3le country. The
Mckinley tariff created the tin plate
Industry and has maintained 1t. At
the present time our pottery and
glass trades are languIshing on ac-
count Of excessive foreign COMPETE
ton, and In my opinion when the tar
tf Is revised YOU will find that in
some respects the schedules in these
trades will be advanced slightly In
stead of lowered.
There will. of course. be many
changes. lowering schedules, but
simply want ID make clear this fact
that the Republican party stands just
as firmly rs 1t ever did by the protec-
tive tariff principle. We intend to put
onr house in order: we intend to show
that protection builds up Industry and
commerce. and that the party of pro-
tetcion is at the same time strong
enough and brave enough to correct
any schedules OF which there Is any
just complaint.
A Splendid Record.
More important possibly than the
platform Is the record of achievement
of the Republican party in the last
two sessions of congress. by their
fruits yc shall know them.' and I say
without reserve that no sessions OF
congress In forty years have been
more productive of wise and bene-
fetal legislation than the last two. I
have previously referred to the Hep
burn rate bill and the pure food law.
These were two splendid pieces of

POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.

Postmaster General Meyers
has announced his intention to
recommend to Congress the pas
sage of law to permit the post
offices to receive the small saw
ings of the people. His plan
provides for paying two per cent
interest on deposits, lending the
money to national banks at two
and one half per cent and limit
ing to two hundred and fifty dol.
lars the amount received from
any Individual.
The purpose of the proposed
postal saving banks will be to
provide q safe place for money
that is now boarded at home and
to get that money into circula-
tion. Mr.. Meyer believes that
many foreigners, who now use
the postoffice as q safe-deposit
vault by investing their savings
in money orders, will be attract
ed by the plan, and that in dis.
tricts where there are no sav.
ings- banks it will appeal to III

NEW W. & N. DEPOT IN ASHES
Fire Last Night Destroys the Entire
Structure

Fire Last Night Destroys the Entire
Structure
The pretty little depot built a
year ago by the Wisconsin &
Northern Railroad at Crandon,
lies in ashes.
The building was discovered
to be on fire at about $50 Thurs
day evening, and slowly burned
to the ground in the presence of
a large crowd Of spectators, who
cussed and discussed Crandon's 8
inadequate facilities for fighting
fire, went home to sleep off their
"mad, and in few weeks will
probably do the same thing over
again.
A few buckets of water would
have put out the blaze when the
first people arrived on the scene
but there were no buckets and
no water.
Fortunately there was very
little freight in the building and
that was removed. Several car
loads of logs were near enough
to the burning building to catch
fire but were pushed away by the
crowd before any damage was
done.
There was So, 500 insurance on
the property in the Forest Coun
ty Abstract Cos agency.
The fire is supposed to have
originated from an overheated
stove - Crandon Republican.
