Revision of the Tariff.
The last convention OF the republican
party In the state of Indiana declared in
favor ot revision Of the tariff whenever
such revision would do more good than
harm Protection was never matter oi
schedules, and while re-affiTminE the time
honored doctrine that there shall always
be discrimination in duties that will fully
protect the wage Garner in the United
States, We have never desired a higher
rate than would accomplish that purpose
and always contemplated revision from
time TO time as the eyer-changing condt-
tions might make wise. We believe that
revision would be now beneficial and 10
minimize the harmful disturbance that
tariff changes necessarily produce We in
sist that revision be speedily done. we
also favor the calling Of an extra session
early In November, 1905, TO make such re-
vision, and recommend that congress take
immediate steps TO secure the proper data
BY experts for Intelligent revision as advo-
Gated by our senators and representatives
from this state; but we also insist that IN
such revision the protective principles shall
De maintained and that maximum and
minimum rates be imposed so that our ex-
port trade can amply BE- protected and for
vented.
We favor the extension OF the United
States mail service upon the surrounding
