Mr.. sherman's Acceptance.
After declaring that he was In
hearty accord with the sentiments ex-
pressed by Mr. Taft in his speech OF
acceptance. Mr.. Sherman said In part,
"First, then, let me say that am a

cal to value the utility Of fact higher
than the beauty of a theory. and am
q protectionist because. experience has
demonstrated that the application Of
that principle has lifted us as nation
TO plane off prosperity above that
occupied by any other people.
For Early Tariff Revision.
81 especially commend that plank OF
our platform which promises an early
revision of tariff schedules. That
pledge will be fulfilled in an ADJUST
ment based in every particular upon
the broad principles Of protection for
all American interests; alike for labor,
for capital, for producers and con-
sumers. The Dingley bill, when en-
acted, was well adapted to the then
existing conditions. The developments
of industrial prosperity in decade,
which in volume and degree nave sur
passed our most roseate expectations,
have so altered conditions that in GER
tain details of schedules they no longer
in every particular mete out Justice
to all. In this re-adjustment the prin-
ciple of protection must and will gov

posed as will equalize the cost OF
production at home and abroad and
Insure reasonable profit to all Amer
lean interests. The republican idea
of such profit embraces not alone
the manufacturer. not alone the capt.
tai invested, but all engaged in Ameri-
can production, the employer and en-
ployed. the artisan, the farmer, the
miner and those engaged in transpor-
