THE TARIFF PLANK.
| especially commend that plank OF
our platform which promises an early
revision of tariff schedules. NAT
pledge will be fulfilled in an ADJUST
ment based in every particular upon
the broad principles of protection Tor
all American interests; alike for la.
Dor. for capital, for producers ana
consumers. The Dingley bill, wheh
enacted, was well adapted 10 the then
existing conditions. The develop
ments of industrial prosperity in
decade. which in volume and degree
have surpassed our most roseate ex-
pectations, have so altered eohui-
tions that in certain details OF scned-
ules they no longer in every partlc~
ular mete out justice to all. In TINS
readjustment the principle of pro-
lection must and will govern; such
duties must and will be imposed as
will equalize the cost of production
at home and abroad and insure rea-
sonable profit to all American inter-
ests. The Republican idea of such a
profit embraces not alone the manu-
facturer, not alone the capital invest
ed, but all engaged in American pro
duction, the employer and employed,
the artisan, the farmer, the miner
and those engaged in transportation
and trade; broadly speaking. those
engaged in every pursuit and calling
which our tariff directly or indirect
ly affects. During a statutory appli-

Our Democratic brethren, whose

exhibited a lack of capacity to proht

form that they favor such "immedi-

As nation our duty compels that
by every constitutional and reason
able means the material and educa-
tional condition of the colored race
be advanced. This we owe to our
selves as well as to them. As the
result of course of events that can
never be reversed, they are a part of
our civilization; their prosperity is
our prosperity; their debasement
would be our misfortune. The Re-
publican party therefore will offer ev-
cry encouragement to the thrift in
dustry and intelligence that will bet
ter their prospect of higher attain
ment.
