ABRAHAM LINcoLN's
TARIFF POLICY

The following was the Republican
party's tariff plank in the platform
OF 1860:
"That while providing revenue for
the support Of the general govern
ment by duties upon imports, sound
policy requires such an adjustment
OF these imposts as to encourage the
development of the industrial inter
ests OF the whole country; and we
commend that policy OF national ex-
changes which secures to the work
ing man liberal wages, to agriculture
remunerative prices, to mechanics
and manufacturers an adequate re-
ward for their skill, labor and enter,
prise, and to the nation commercial
prosperity and independence.
1t is not true. as President Wilson
has asserted, that the Republican
party has not had new idea In
thirty years, but we challenge him
to run for reelection on tariff pol
Icy that directly challenges the Re
publican tariff policy as expressed
sc years ago.

force. International law has no
force behind it. Some day, we hope
and intend, it will be made unsafe to
break the law of Nations. AS yet,
however, each Nation must still go
unprotected or protect itself. Until
the Nations unite together to enforce
international law, our best hope for
peace lies in making 1t dangerous for
any Nation to attack US.
You and | belong to a great peace
loving people. We hate war and de-
sire peace. We seek with eagerness
for any means that will hasten the
coming OF permanent peace. We are
ready to do everything that is just
and honorable to secure it. Doubtless
we join with every lover Of peace IN
looking forward to the day when rea'
son and understanding will settle or
prevent disputes among the Nations
But the road to peace does not lie
through fabby weakness, as the his
tory OF China proves, but through SELF
respecting strength. That is why
believe in National defense. The
mere desire for peace, and the best
intentions on our part, can not al
ways secure peace. Among nations
as among men, it often takes but one
to make a quarrel.

LIQUOR FEUD
IN ALABAMA
VERY TRAGIC
Judge is Murdered and Two
Others Are Killed in a
Booze Fight.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala, July 10.-For
the second time within the last few
weeks the liquor question has caus-
ed scenes of violence and death in an
Alabama city. The cold-bloOded muir
der of Probate Judge w. 7. Lawler
and the suicide of Sheriff Robert
Phillips, of Madison county, and
Shelby S. Plesants, widely known
constitutional lawyer, all in the city
of Huntsville, are sequels to the IL
Quor feud that recently came TO light
in Cirard, where over S1,000,00O
worth Of contraband was destroyed.
AS a result of the bitter feeling and
the charges and countercharges in
volving some Of the leading citizens
of Huntsville, outside judges and So
licitors have been sworn in to take
the place of local officials, Many
of the latter have been disqualified
because of political or social Connec-
lions with one or the other of the
factions. Special deputies have been
sworn in to maintain order, and the
city is in a ferment from fear Of
further tragic outbreaks.
War Between "WetS" and "Drys."
For some time before the murder
Of Judge Lawler political feeling in
Huntsville had run high because of
constant antagouism between PROFIT
bltionists and anti-prohibtionists. In
recent primary Lawler was re-
elected probate judge by 800 major
ity over David D. Oyerton, who re-
