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 party has shown by
it's creation of the tariff board, its
recognition of this situation, and its
determination to be equal to it. We
condemn the Democratic party for
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
bills passed by the house OF repre-
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 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 condl
! tons in countries which have a 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
a prompt scientific inquiry into tn,
causes which are operative both II
the United States and elsewhere I,
increase the cost of living. When tn,
exact facts are known II will take tn,
necessary steps to remove any abus
, es that be found to exist, in orde
that the cost OF the food, clothing an,
shelter of the people may in no wa
be unduly or artificially increased.
Banking And Currency.
/. The Republican party has Away
/. stood for sound currency and 70
safe banking methods. It Is respoI
@ sible for the resumption of specie pa,
s ments and for the establishment c
Il the gold standard. IL is committed
r.. the progressive development OF on
!. banking and currency system. On
n banking arrangements today need fu
l. Their revision to meet the requirement
e OF current conditions. We need mea
{. ures which will prevent the recurrenc
i. OF money panics and financial distu
il Dances and which will promote ii
G. prosperity OF business and the welfai
o. of the laboring people by producir
f. constant employment.
Is We need better currency facilitii
lie for the movement OF crops in the we
lie and south. We need banking arrang
lie ments under American auspices Z,
L. the encouragement and better condu
a OF our foreign trade. In attainir
~ these ends, the independence ~ ilt
Is vidual banks, whether organized Il
lie der national or state charters, mu

es political interests.
