ditions whish were intolerable.
Experience makes it plain that the
business OF the country may be carried
on without fear Of without disturbance
and al the same Zine without resort
to practices which are ahhorrent to
the common sense Of justice. The Re-
publican party favors the enactment
of legislation supplementary to the
existing antitrust act which will de
fine as criminal offenses those specific
acts that uniformly mark attempts to
restrain and to monopolize trade, TO
the end that those who honestly in
tend TO obey the law may'haye a guide
for their action and that those who
aim to violate the law may the more
surely be punished The same Ger
tainty should be given 70 the law pro~
bibiting combinations and monppolies
that characterizes other provisions OK
commercial law. in order that no itsst
OF the field OF business opportnsiity
may be restricted by 'monopoy.1 oy'
combination, that business success
honorably achieved may not be scor-
verified into crime, and that the right
OF every man to acquire commoditieS
and particularly the necessities Of
life, in an open market, uninfluenced
by the manipulation of trust or combi;
nation, may be preserved.
The Tariff. k&g
I'VE reafflrm our belief in proteo;
tive tariff. The Republican. tariff policy.
has been of the greatest benefit 10 thf
country, developing our resources, edt
versifying our industries and protect-
ing our workmen against competition
with cheaper labor abroad; thus estab-
fishing for our wage-earners the Amer
lean standard Of living. The protective
tariff is SO woven into the fabric Of
cur industrial and agricultural life that
TO substitute for ii tariff Sforreyenue
only would destroy many industries.
and throw millions of our people out
OF employment The products of the
farm and OF the mine should receive
the same measure OF protection as 9TH
er products OF American labor.
I'VE hole that the import duties
should be high enough while yielding q
sufficient revenue TO protect adequate
~ American industries and wages.
Some of tho existing import duties are
too high, ard should be reduced. Re,
adjustment shoald be made from time
to time 70 conform TO changing condi

but without injury TO any American
Industry. TO accomplish this correct
Information is Indispensable. This in
formation can best be obtained by an
expert commission, as the large vol.
ume of useful facts contained in the
recent reports Of the tariff board has
demonstrated. ~
THE pronounced feature of modern
industrial life is. its enormous diyersi
fication. To apply tariff rates justly to
these changing conditions requires a
closer study. and more scientific meth
DDS than ever before. The Republican
party has shown by it's creation of a
tariff board its recognition of this sit
uation. and its determination to be
equal to it. We condemn the Demo
cratic party for its failure either to
provide funds for the continuance OF
this board or to make some other pro
vision for securing the information

one OF the st. Louis men interview
ca vn lie SUBJECT says.
4 realIy cannot see now the manu-
factturers OF Chicago, New YORK and
orner cities can hope TO compete with
those OF ST. Louis III lines where cleo
trlcal power is Of paramount import
ance."
How can even st. Louis manufacture
ers compete with keokuk In these
lines it Keokuk takes this horse
power by the foretop and uses its
force right here in the city where it
is produced, where there will be no
waste by transmission and reduc-
ton from other causes from tbs
cost to faraway towns and cities?
These are questions to be needed
by capitalists of this city and those
who contemplate locating their BUSH
ness here.
Keol1uk is waking up. she is slowly
realizing the changed conditions and
the prominent position thrust upon
her by the building of the great dam.
1t is a gigantic enterprise in every
phase. 1t requires great big square
dot to designate Keokuk's location on
the map, where it required only a fly
speck few years ago.
The manly manner in which Keo-
kuk met the 100000 hotel issue is
evidence of the changed and improv-
ed condition of the public mind here
What We're once possibilities have
now become probabilities and soon
will be realities. The people are be-
coming educated to the new order of
things and the sooner they have fin
ished this education the better it will
be for Keokuk as a rapidly growing,
and one Of the most prosperous COM
mercial and Industrial cities in the
country.
