| The question of tariff taxation is
one of vital interest. l am in hear
tty accord with our platform declar-
taions on that subject. The Repub-
lican candidate for vice president in
his recent speech OF acceptance laud-
ed the Dingley bill, and declared
| that when enacted it was we'll ad-
apted to conditions, but proceeded
to add, That the developments of
Industrial prosperity in decade
which, in volume and degree have
surpassed our most roseate expecta-
tons, have so altered conditions
that in certain details of schedules
they no longer in every particular
meet out justice to all" For these
reasons, he declared in favor of a
readjustment biased on broad prin-
cfples Of protection for all Ameri-
can interests, alike for labor and
capital, for producers and consum-
ers." The hundreds of thousands OF
American workingmen who are now
vainly seeking employment were
doubtless delighted when they read
about that industrial prosperity
whis 50 surpassed our most rose
ate expectations" In thousands OF
American homes, families will gath.

many months have not been en-
numbered with beefsteak and in
dulgs in "roseate expectations" o1

Il American manufacturers who's

IA restricted market. and those who's
business has been crippled by rea

closed and an army OF men unehd

should any one favor a reduction o
that tariff? If, after II years
SURPRISING prosperity brought abou
BY the Dingley bill, business condl
