EASY TO BLAME TARIFF.

How easy it is to blame the tariff!
Very few can know that you are put
ting up a job on them by ascribing
your own faults TO the tariff. The
trusts have been laying the high price
of the necessaries of life to the tariff.
because they know of the difficulties
of proving to the contrary. 1t takes
time to try out tariff and while that
is going on no end of false impress
sions can be lodged in the public mind
which it will be impossible to entirely
remove. The time has come, however,
when such detractors of the tariff will
have to face some facts and figures
that won't fit in with their creeds.
Ten months under the Payne tariff
bill shows, for instance, that on the
importations, as compared with those
under the old tariff law, there is a
reduction in schedule rates of s15.000,-
600. Now what about revision down
wards?" To listen to some of our
Democratic friends and their Republi-
can allies one would suppose that
the new tariff law raised the duties
on imports. 1t was a clear case of
revision downward" and they know
it, or ought to know If they do not.
The fact that there is an increase
of revenue from the tariff will now
be pointed to by these people as a
proof that rates We're increased, when
as a matter of fact the increase in
customs revenue collected is due to
the increase in importations. You
can fix a duty at figure that will
keep out all importations in any line,
or you can fix it at a figure that will
encourage importations, and that is
just what has happened.
The increase of importations has
resulted in an increase of customs du-
ties collected to nearly $4,000, 600 in
the ten months preceding May 8
1910, as compared with the like period
in 1909. 1t is thus furnishing the
government with funds, which is the
first reqpisite of a tariff. and while

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Henry Clews, the eminent New
York financier and publicist says that
there is no question that readjust-
ment to lower basis is going on in
industrial and mercantile affairs,
which he declares will prove hignly
beneficial and pave the way for re-
newed activity at a later date. I'm
fortunately the country has become
so accustomed to high pressure
activity and advancing prices that it
cannot experience any movement in
opposite directions without becoming
unduly discouraged Mr. Clews says
in this connection in his latest letter
to The Gate City:
1T is question if the national
business nerve has not been weaken
ed by too prolonged prosperity, since
it now takes unnecessary fright at
the slightest sign of reaction. 1t has
long been insisted upon in these adj
vices that the country would be
benefited by some sort of readjust-
ment: our industrial machinery being
out of gear because some portions had
advanced much more rapidly than
others. We are now going through a
period Of this character in which
equilibrium is being restored There
is no occasion for undue anxiety and
after period of moderate retreach-
ment we may look forward to re-
newed activity, provided the harvest
realizes expectations. At present the
crop outlook is promising. although
containing spots of disappointment.
1t is still too early to indulge il pes
simistic views regarding any of our
crops. A cool and backward spring
can hardly be considered detrimental
when accompanied by adequate mois.
ture and it should be remembered
that few warm days will quickly
place the crops upon satisfactory
footing"
Should the crops prove satisfactory
Mr.. Clews predicts we will soon wit
ness revival of confidence and
more activity in business. Just now
there is an excess of pessimism
abroad; in Mr.. Clew's view more
than is justified by actual conditions.

able the. country to regain its nerve
and pave the way for renewed aeuv'
ity upon a lower and safer level

Vote for Taft DELEGATES.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: There seems
to be a good deal of misunderstandin
concerning the matter of the selection
of delegates to the coming state con-
vention. These delegates will be Sc
lected in the old way, by county con-
ventions. The delegates to teese
county conventions will be selected in
the primaries at the various precincts
in the counties. The voters will vote
for set of delegates in each pre-
cinct There will be two sets of del
egates in the field, one a Cummils-
Dolliver-Garst delegation, the other a
delegation representing the interests
of tie Taft administration and the old
line party. These delegates selected
will go from each precinct to the
county convention and there they will
select delegates to the state conven-
ton. If county convention has a
majority of so-called progressive dele
gatees Trey will indorse Cummins, Dol
aver and Garst, and make point of
=d.screditfng the Republican organiza-
ton and the administration OF Presi-
dent Taft. If the delegates are for
Taft and the Republican administra-
ton they will certainly indorse Kenne-
dy. Carroll and pure Republicanism
There is no mistake about this, and
the members of the party should be-
come acquainted with tire situation at
once and prepare to act accordingly.
The intention of the Cummins- Dolli-
yer-Garst faction is to turn Iowa over
to the progressive insurgent element,
and score a signal victory against the
Republican organization and President
Taft. The speeches of Dolliver and
1 Cummins in Des Moines, and the cam
+ paign key note of Governor Garst. all
point clearly to the intent of that fac
ton. The Republicans of the First dis
trict should take up arms against such
an attempt upon the integrity Of the
/ Republican party in the state.

Will Bossism Rule?

Columbus Safeguard: Brookhart,
who is trying to get the people of the
First district to send him to congress,
claims that he is greatly opposed to
bossism and one man rule and all
that. Let's see, is he? 1t is said that
he boasts in other parts of tue dis
trlct that Carpenter will deliver
Louisa county to him. The local sit
uation seems to indicate that boss
ism is very much in evidence in the
political game that is being worked
in Mr.. Brookhart's behalf in this
county. Will it meet with success
Will people stand for being dictated
TO and being denied the right to do
their own thinking and their own
voting? We cannot see how Mr..
Brookhart is to get a very strong
following in the First district, unless
1t is from the class of voters who can
be controlled by local political
bosses The farmers and the labor
ers OF Iowa cannot point to a single
bit OF political legislation that could
make their conditions and their inter
ests better than they are at present.
Times are the best in the history of
the world, Iowa farmers and Iowa
shippers are getting into the eastern
markets at 2 rate that even Cummins
admits is more than fair to them and
everything is in bully good shape.
Congressman Kennedy, who is a can
didate for reelection. is one of the
men who helped to bring about and
to retain these conditions. Mr.. Brook
hart admits that he is opposed to
nearly everything that Mr.. Kennedy
and the present Republican admins
tration stands for. We would like to
know what the voters are going to do.
Are they going to vote the way they
talk and the way they admit is the
only sure way Of retaining our present
financial conditions, or will they vote
to please the wishes of man who
has laid claim to their power of suf-
frage and their right to vote for
whom they desire because 1t will
help him to be dictator and boss
among his fellow men? AS we have
said before, the trouble with our pres
ent political affairs Is not down at
Washington, it is at home where the
leaders place theSvalue of the right to
control above the great principles of
their party.

this the Association has given the

OF the state and that properly and
faithfully.
1t should be taken into consdera-
ton that on the tariff we are not all
agreed. If Governor Carroll had
violently sided in with Senator Dol
liver on the tariff, he would at the
same time have opposed six out of the
eleven congressman from Iowa, the six
who voted for the tariff bill. includ-
ing Congressman Good from this dis
trict. They were just as conscien-
tious in voting for the tariff as Dol
liver was in voting against it-and
they were with the Republican ma

tor Cummins has in insisting that
