Some republican papers of the pro-
gressive kind are not going to sit qui-
escent under the beating that has been
given tariff revision (downward) by
President Taft, Senator Aldrich and
Speaker Cannon. The Des Moines Even
ing Tribune speaks right out in meeting
as follows:
"For itself the Evening Tribune
stands squarely by the insurgents. 1t
believes the new tariff to be COM
promise arranged to get the votes Of
all the great industrial trusts of the
country. 1t has been made by the
sugar, oil, lumber, smelter, citrus, fruit,
and steel groups of representatives in
congress, with the New England manu-
facturers steering the enterprise
through the political pitfalls. Hides
were thrown as tub to the whale
because the east wanted cheap leather
and because the range senators from the
hide country allowed themselves to be
worked.
But there is no use getting excited
over the outcome in hot weather. JUS
such legislation has been enacted be
fore and the country survived. Probably
a great deal more will be enacted il
the future. All to be done is to b.
alive to the true situation and to whe
the tomahawks for the next foray in tn
cause of a square DEAL

ALDRlCH EXULTANT.

Senator Aldrich is feeling quite proud
over his tariff victory and he has a
right to feel that way. 1t was great
winning for New England, for the trusts
and the big manufactures. The farmers
of Iowa will be interested in reading
what he says about hides. He says:
Now that the duty on hides is remov-
ed, this country is placed on an equal
footing with the rest of the world in
buying. 1t may not necessarily mean
that hides will always be cheaper, for
they will be regulated by the world
market, and if the market rises the
price here will rise. But in the past
we have been paying Is per cent more
than the market price. There was alb
solutely no reason for maintaining the
duty on hides and the removal of it
will be beneficial.
This is very plain and blunt admis-
sion that taking the tariff off hides will
reduce the price of hides to the manufac-
turer Of leather and leather goods ard
that the cattle raisers Of the west will
have to sell their hides in the free mar
ket of the world and buy their boots
and shoes, their harness, betting, ETC.,
in protected market.
President Taft who forced free hides
into the bill will be making $25, 00O
tour through the west in few weeks
He will no doubt tell the people OF
the west how the law is going to help
them.

A REPUBLICANS DREAM.

Under the headline can Awful Mo-

"Quite remarkable. How did it hap

Promise and Performance
The Performance

The following report of dis nguished republican
senator's speech is by the AS Iocated Press:
Senator Dolliver the first speaker of the day.
Opening his remarks with defense of his course as
republican in contending for lower customs duties. Mr..
Deliver denied the right of other republican senators
to question his position in the senate position which
he said was dictated by his conscience.
at has been my fortune he sad."to enjoy thatmu
tual good will that should meet the efforts of senator
to change the tariff laws of the United States
The people of his state he added had been referred
to 'green folks while the state itself had been de-
clared to be unreliable given to populism and green
backism. Iowa, he insisted had always been true to
republican standards, and still unfolding the in
terests of the protective policy.
"Here" he said 1--WE have had the spectacle of men
compelled to bargain with the authorities which
troll the senate for the protection of their people
Maiorities obtained by system of reciprocity
ranged in the citadel of protection
Presenting statement prepared by the treasury
department. Mr. Dolliver said it showed the rates in
the common schedule increased the present
law all along the line, and of them had much

made here that only minor and insignificant changes

Battle in the Clouds" of Fifty Years
Hence.

That the warfare of the future is to
be in some measure conducted hlgn
in the air seems now to be accepted
by all. In anticipation of this deVel-
opment of scientific contest OF ma
tions, Pain, the great pyrotechnlc
specialist, has prepared for this sea-
son the new display "The Battle IN
the Clouds" which will be shown for
the first time in the west at the Iowa
State Fair commencing Aug. 27. This
is said to be by far the most wonder
full of the many shows put up OF this
character. 1t includes not only all the
latest developments in bombs, rockets,
signal lights, shells, and novelty de-
vices worked out in colored fire, but
also the use of airships especially con-
structed from which to carry on the
mock warfare high in the air. The
spectacle must be witnessed with the
thought of what is coming In the
future for it illustrates something OF
the wondrous possibilities of warfare
after the airship has become the com
mon vehicle of the army.

The Promise

The republican tariff plank for 1908 was as fol-
lows
The republican party declares unequvocally for
revision Of the tariff by special session of congress
Immediately following the Inauguration of the next
president and commends the steps already taken to
this end in the work assigned to the appropriate
mites of congress which are Investigating the
operation and effect of existing schedules In all tariff
legislation the true principles of protection is best
maintained by the imposition of such duties will
equal the difference between the of production at
home and abroad together with reasonable profit to
American Industries.
We favor the establishment of maximum and mini
mum rates to be administered by the president under
limitations fixed in the law, the maximum to be avaa
able to meet determinations by foreign countries
against American goods entering their markets and the
minimum to represent the normal measure of protec-
ton at home; the aim and purpose of the republican
policy being not only to preserve, without excessive
duties that security against foreign competition to
which American manufacturers farmers and producers
are entitled but also to maintain the high standard of
living the wage of this country who the
most direct benefcares of the protective system.
Between the UnitedlStates and the Philippines we
believe in free interchange of products with such
quate protection to domestic interests.

In reply to what he terms "Misrepre-

minority in the house, gave out state
ment regarding the course OF the demo-

out of the tariff fight more thoroughly
united on that question than they have
been in a generation but that the repub,
