duties are too high and should be re
duced. REIMBURSEMENT should be made
from time to time to conform tC
changed conditions and to reduce ex
cessive rates, but without injury tC
American industry. To accomplish
this correct information is indispen
sable. This information can best BE-
obtained by an expert commission, al
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 it's enormous diver
sification. To apply specific rates
justly to these changing conditions
requires closer study and more sc1en
tific methods than ever before.
The Republican party has shown by
its creation of the tariff board, Its
recognition Of this situation, and it,
determination to be equal to 1t. We
condemn the Democratic party fol
its failure either to provide funds fol
the continuance of this board or tC
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
bills passed by the house OF repre-
sentatives of the SiXty-second con
gress as sectional, as injurious to thu
public credit, and as destroying bust
ness enterprise.
The steadily increasing cost OF liy
ing has become matter not only o
national but of worldwide concern
The fact that it is not due to tn,
protective tariff system is evidenced
by the existence of similar condi
tons in countries which have a tariff
, policy different from our own, as wei
as by the fact that the cost of Twin,
has increased while rates of duty hav,
remained stationary or been reduced
The Republican party will supper
prompt scientific inquiry into tn
causes which are operative both II
the United States and elsewhere t

exact facts are known 1t will take tn
necessary steps to remove any abus
es that be found to exist, in orde

shelter of the people may in no wa
