public credit and destructive to bust

public credit and destructive to DuSl-
ness enterprise. We demand such an
equitable tariff on foreign imports
which come into competition with Am
erican products as will not only furnish
adequate revenue for the necessary
expenses of the government but will
protect American labor from degrade
ton to the wage level of other lands.
We are not pledged to any particular
schedules. The question Of rates is a
practical question, to be governed by
1.-THE conditions of the time and by pro-
duction the rule and uncompromising
principle is the protection and devel-
opment of American labor and indus
try. The country demands a right
settlement, and then it wants rest"
That is the Mckinley principles set
forth in a few words. They are
Numerically opposed to the theiry
now advanced by Geo. e. Roberts to
the effect "that if goods can be pro-
duced in one country cheaper than
in another, that is the place to pro-
duce them"
When Mr.. Roberts was out here in
Iowa, when he was student OF mar
kets rather than maXims, he stood
foursquare for the principles OF pro-
lection. Now that he is surrounded by
Wall street influences he seems to
have absorbed the doctrines promul-
gated by importers anent tariff legisla-
ton and seems willing to go the lengths
advocated by Richard Golden and his
free trade followers Of three quar-,
tiers Of a century ago.
The republican platform upon which
Warren G. Harding was swept into
office by an unprecedented majority
re-pledged the party to the principle
of protection and not to the policy
of ALLOWING trade to follow its own
channels," as Mr.. Roberts now advo.
Gates and as the Des' Moines Register
approves. That platform declared:
1.-THE republican party reaffirms its
belief in the protective principle and
pledges itself to a revision of the tar
lift as soon as conditions shall make il
necessary for the preservation of the
home market for American labor, az.
riculture and industry
Well, the conditions are now here
that make redemption of this pledge
imperative. Corn is coming from All
gentina, wheat and oats and eggs from
Canada, meat from South America and
other farm products from other coun
tries. Our total imports last year from
all countries reached the unprecedented
value of approximately $5,3O0,0OO,OOO
Now the people are expecting the re-
publican party to turn its back upon
the counsels of such men as Mr.. Rob
erts and such editors as Harvey Ing
ham and enact a protective tariff law
that shall preserve the home market
for American labor, agriculture, and
industry

Why should not the business depart
ment of an honorable newspaper take
advice of the editorial department
rather than have its editorial depart

But why should the editorial depart

the best way is to let those in charge
