WILSON DEVOTES
 ADDRESS ID TARIFF
He Says Pr0gressiyeness Is Feature of All Gov
 ernmentS

Bay City, Mich. october 24.-secretary of Agriculture James Wilson was the principal speaker at a republican rally here tonight. Devotng his address prin- cipally to the tariff. the secretary said in part:
 "The nation is considering the presi- dency. The parties are aligned on the two sides of the tariff, with incidentals such as trusts. economics, public lands, the navy, child labor immigration and other questions deserving attention but that does not divide the great parties
 We hear of progressiveness. That is always a feature of govSnment in all countries, as some men are by nature more radical than others. Protection for American labor on the farm, in the shop and factory has been an expressing ques- ton.
 'The American people have had experi- ence along these lines with both parties and we must concede them both to be honest. Republicans believe in protec- tion to the extent of the difference in cost of production here and abroad The democrats do not believe protection con stitutional. The country has tried both parties. From lS95 10 l6Sf It had low tariffs and had industrial distress. Since 1897 we have had protection and every great prosperity.
 Vigorous efforts are being made by the department of justice to break up com binations whose object is to put up the price of good products after they leave the farm. The breaking up of these and other monopolies will eheapen the price of foods and the cost of living. These ex- actions put the price of some food be- yond the people,
