Stand on Tariff.
We reaffirm our belief in a protective
tariff. The republican tariff policy has
been of the greatest benefit to the coun-
try, developing our resources, diversity
ing our industries and protecting our
workingmen against competition with
cheaper labor abroad. thus establishing
for our wage earners the American
standard of living.
The protective tariff is SO woven into
the fabric OF our industrial and agricui-
tural life that to substitute for It tariff
for revenue only would destroy many
industries and throw millions Of our peo-
pie out of employment.
The products of the farm and of the
mine should receive the same measure
of protection as other products of Amer
lean labor
We hold that the import duties should
be high enough, while yielding a suff1-
eient revenue. TO protect adequatel!

We believe that one OF the countrys

The Mississippi river is the nation

minion of Canada, constitute an over

These floods are national in scope. and
the disasters they produce seriously af-

operation OF the regency act, passed two

II will noe be abrogated. II appoints
Queen Mary regent in the event of one
of King Georges sons succeeding to the
throne before he reaches the age of
eighteen. Probably he will secure pro-
motions in the army and navy: certainly
all the monarchs and rulers OF Europe
and the east will shower decorations on
him.
