The reason this did seem all right

cles In carrying our his promises
than to the president. Beset en- all
sides by violent and unjust criticism,
harassed by factional disputes, he re-
mained serenely confident to Ike end
and the end waS a triumph. He had
determined from the beginning that
party pledges were made to be per
formed. Today these pledges are the
laws of the land.
Included in his legislation are the
revision of the tariff, the railroad
bin, the establishment of postal saw
ings banks, the creation of tariff
commission, the provision for the in
vestigation of railway accidents and
for monthly reports thereof; the Gre
alton of bureau of mines, the ex-
tension of laws requiring safety ap-
pliances on common carriers, sup
preston of the white slave traffic,
the conservation bills, a campaign
publicity bill, and the admission Of
Arizona and New Mexico to statehood.
No such program of constructive
an progressive legislation has ever
been enacted at any session of con-
gress in American history. 1t is a
record of magnificent achievement
and the glory belongs first to the
president of the United States.
Tariff Leading Issue.
The principle issue upon which we,
vhe Republican party in Ohio, will ap-
peal to the people in this campaign
is and must inevitably be the tariff.
We could not dodge it if we would;
we ought not if we could. We are re-
sponsible for it in the fullest sense.
1t would be mere futility to attempt
now to shirll our responsibility A
Republican delegation from Ohio in
both houses of congress, with one ex-
ception, voted for it; an Ohio Repub-
.ican president signed it. 1t remains
for the Republicans of Ohio to fight
for it. We refuse to be stampeded.
We have fought the preliminary fight,
let us prepare for the final battle.
This is no "stand-pat" program that
| am advocating. 1t is program of
progress, not of reaction The Payne
tariff law as it stands today, fortified
by the tariff commission, with ample
funds to carry out it's functions, is no
'stand-pat" law. 1t is an immense
advance in the direction of thor
oughly scientific American tariff A

revenue, while maintaining the Amer

feature in recent tariff Legislation,
and it is we'll worth while to examine
in some detail its history and func-
tions.
In section two of the Payne law,
which relates to maximum and mini
mum rates and imposes upon the
president the duty of asceriaining
whether or not foreign nations are
discriminating against our products,
1t is provided that he may appoint
persons to assist him in the investi-
cation of these facts. Other sections
of the bill confer additional powers
in the way of investigating the cost
of production, both here and abroad,
of articles in which we compete with
foreign nations. Acting upon the au-
thority conferred by these sections
the president appointed a tarif COM
mission, primarily for the purpose Of
adjusting the maximum and mini
mum provision which, under the law,
had to be settled on before the 31st
day of last March.
What the Republican party did was
to increase the rates on things like
silks, laces, perfumerics, fancy soaps.
wines and liquors, cigarets and the
like, all luXurics, pure and simple,
and, in addition, to impose tax upon
the receipts of corporations over
$5,OOO,0o0 year
