During the last decade tue principal
progress in the use OF high explosives

explosive projectiles from powder guns

lecttle has passed through the plate to

Long years of faithful and efficient
service as Representative in Con-
gress have proved It, MIR. Sherman
has never wabbled on the Tariff. He
has always believed that American
labor and industry should have the
first lien on the American market So
far as his voice and influence can af-
feet legislation he will as VicexPresi-
dent be found on the side of unre-
Taxed and adequate Protection.
He believes in the reasonable pro-
fit declaration OF the Republican plat
form-a reasonable profit not alone
for the manufacturers whose capital
is invested, but for the wage earners
as well, for the farmer who supplies
the raw materia flor the miner who dig
the coal and the ore and for every hano
that helps to produce and market the
finished product.
Without profit there can be no bust
ness. Mr.. Sherman would first insure
profits by shutting out unfair and in
furious competition and would then di
vide up the profits among all that are
entitled to share.
Experience has proved that profits
disappear when foreigners are allowed
to undersell American labor in the
American market. Also that employ
ment disappears and wages shrink.
leaving the wage Garner only a beg
carly share of the profits. and proba-
bly, no share at all.
A revision of the Tariff with the
reasonable profit" principle strictly
adhered to is the pressing need of the
time 1t is because Of the heavy inflow
of cheaper products from abroad that
reasonable profits have become i'm
possible. Accordingly mills and fac
tories are running on reduced time. or
not running at all, and 1000, 900 ar
tisans are out of employment.
Mr.. Sherman interprets the Republi-
can platform as promising to remedy
these bad conditions by such a re-
vision of the Tariff as shall bring a
return of needful Protection. When
that shall have been done there will
be no idle mills and factories, and the
100000 artisans will get back their
jobs.
Surely this is worth striving for. If
there is in this campaign single is

so important as the question OF res
toring prosperity by resto ring work
and wages we do not know what those
issues are.

it might be large enough and represen

There is nothing which hurts the
