Tariff

We believe IN a protective tariff which
shall cqudliZe conditions OF competition
between the United states and foreign
countries. both for tho farmer and the
manufacturer. and which shall maintain
for labor an adequate standard OF living.
Primarily the benefit OF any tariff should
bc disclosed I'm the pay envelope OF the la
borcr. We declare that no industry de-
serves protection which is unfair to labor
or which is operating I'm violation OF fed
cral law. We believe that the presumption
* always I'm favor ~ tho consuming pub
lie
We demand tariN reviclon because the
present TORN Is unjust g. the people OF
enc United 'Ststes. Fair DEALING toward
the people requires an immediate down p
ward revision OF these schedules wherein
duties are shown 20 be unjust and esces-
exc.
We pledge Ourselves to tho establish
m"nt of "A non-partisan scientific tariff
commission. reporting both 10 the Prcsi-
dent and to either branch OF Congress.
which shall report, first, as To the costs
of production. efficiency OF labor. capi-
talization. industrial organization and
efficiency. and tho general competitive
position IN this country and abroad or
industries seeking protection from Con
gross. Second. as to the revenue pro-
duclng power Of the tariff and its rela-
tion to the resources OF government
ana. thirdly, a. 10 the erect OF the thtllI
on prices. operations OF middl"men. ana
on the purchasing power Of the consumer
We believe that this commission should
have plcnary power To elicit Information.
and for this purpose TO prescribe a unit
form system Of accounting for the great
protected Industries. The work OF the
commission should not prevent the I'm
mediate adoption Of acts reducing these
schedules generally recognized as cx-
cCSsiYe.
We condemn the Payne Aldrich bill as
unjust 10 the people. The Republican
organization is IN the hands Of those who
have broken, and cannot again be trusted
10 keep. the promise of necessary down
ward revision The Democratic party IL
committed to the destruction OF the pro-
tcctive system through a tariff for rev
cnue only-a policy which would incvi-
tably produce widespread industrial and
commercial disaster.
We demand che Immediate repeal Of the
Canadian reciprocity act.
