Yet If we are not to yield the
oceans of trade to rival nations, II
we are to win and increase that pros,

abroad alone can bring, we must
adopt the best tariff methods which
the experience of the world affords
The oldatime tariff teachings on bcth

Progress.
In the new tariff which we will
make Immediately after President
Taft's Inauguration we Republicans
propose 10 reject alike the long nee
cray and toothless theory of a tariff
for revenue only and the now halt and
crippled theory Of a single protective
tariff and adopt instead Ct ether a
revenue system that will protect
American industry and labor and at
the same time win new markets all
over the world for everything that
American industry and labor produce.
Six months from now we Republ-
cans will build this new and modern
tariff according to the requirements
of today II win not be a tariff for
Maine alone, or fer California alone,
or for beth in combination. 1t will be
a tarin for the whole American peo.
pie considered as one vast family Of

themselves alone, but dealing also
Will all mankind.
