duties are too high and should be re-
duced. REIMBURSEMENT should be made
from time to time to conform to|
changed conditions and to reduce ex.
cessive rates, but without injury to
American industry. To accomplish
this correct information is indispen.
sable This information can best be
obtained by an expert commission, as
the large volume of useful facts con-
tanned in the recent reports Of the
tariff board has demonstrated.
Tariff Study Needed.
The pronounced feature of modern
Industrial life is its enormous diver
sification. To apply specific rates
justly to these changing conditions
requires closer study and more scien.
tific methods than ever before.
The Republican part has shown by
its creation of the tariff board its
recognition of this situation, and It's
determination to be equal to It, We
condemn the Democratic party Tor
its failure either to provide funds fol
the continuance of this board or to
make some other provision for secur.
ing the information requisite for in
telligent tariff legislation. We pro-
test against the Democrats methods
Of legislation on these vital important
subjects without careful investigation
We condemn the Democratic tariff
sentatives of the SiXty-second con
gress as sectional, as injurious to the
public credit, and as destroying bust
ness enterprise.
The steadily increasing cost OF liv
ing has become a matter not only OF
national but Of worldwide concern
The fact that it is not due to the
protective tariff system is evidenced
by the existence of similar condi
lions in countries which have tariff
policy different from our own, as vel
as by the fact that the cost of living
has increased while rates of duty have
remained stationary or been reduced
The Republican party will supper
prompt scientific inquiry into the
causes which are operative both IL
the United States and elsewhere t
increase the cost of living. When tn,
exact facts are known It will take tn,
necessary steps to remove any abus
: es that be found to exist, in orde
that the cost OF the food, clothing ant
shelter Of the people may in no wa!
be unduly or artificially increased.
