are now publicly their loudest cham
pions.
1t is said that we have gone roo
far and done too much; but why do
not those who say this propose to
erase a single line we have writ
ten?
| Why do they propose to abolish
the department of commerce and la
Dor, to repeal the pure food and
meat inspection laws, the irrigation
law or any other statute in that great
structure of righteous legislation
whose foundation and framework
these laws are? And if no man pro-
posed to tear down what we have
builded, shall we listen to their
counsel that we should not finish
our work? For there is yet work to
be done. If there is not, let us dis
band. When any party becomes
merely machine, seeking the spoils
of office, it is no longer a political
party, but company of brigands.
! Praise Sherman Law.
| Do-nothing policy is not republic
cannot American. Laurels fade
when not refreshed by new and mob
lie deeds.
We must revise the Sherman law.
and century old in spirit. It pen
allies dishonest combination, and
that is right; but also it manacles
honest business, and that is wrong.
Business is the name for the trade
activities of the people. Free it's
hands, unshackle it's feet. Only up
on the dishonest let the ball and chain
be locked. Strike only that bust
ness which pliers from the people;
but help all business that serves the
people. Our watchword is Justice.
For the pirates of business the yard
arm or the plank; but for honest
business the open seas and welcom-
| ing ports.
| Revise the Tariff.
The tariff must be revised immed-
| lately after the presidential election.
To revise it now would lock up bust
ness for months of disaster and
doubt.

Two years ago some of US began
this fight. We were met with AFRO
gance from those who think that the
world does not move; from interests
whom the tariff properly protected
when it was made, but whom chang
ed conditions now enable to act like
| highwaymen to other honest inter-
ests; from purchaser press owned

| in sight, and, as Indiana led the
first charge in this battle, so let In
diana lead the last charge that
crowns it with victory.
| And let that revision be honest
and businessiike. Let experts at
once begin the work of finding out
the facts and making classifications.

BY common sense tariff methods
Germany is passing on the seas of
commerce; even little Japan is riy-

common-sense methods, and she will
beat Germany. Japan, and all the
world combined.
