THAT toe high protection may result In some few Instancee in higher cost te the people does not justify the Imposition of a rate too low; for that way ruin Ilea. That Is why we say tariff revision must be in the hands of its friends. But there exists another cogent reason. THE GREATEST DISTRESS OF THE,LAST CLEVELAND ADMINISTRATION WAS NOT FROM THE FINAL PASSAGE OF THE WILBON TARIFF, THOUGH THAT WAS GREAT, BUT IT AROSE FROM THE FACT THAT ALL BUSINESS IS ANTICIPATIVE. Almost all articles are sold for future delivery and some in the long future, and the price must depend on the coot of the materials and labor of their manufacture. So that, within reasonable limits, one must know before fixing the price at delivery the cost of production. The raw materials of one manufacturer are the finished products of others. So, when In ISS2 the country pronounced for tariff reduction, no one could know how deep or widespread the reduction would be. Congress, unless called In spoclsl session, would not meet for a year. Slow progress of-isglslatlon might still longer postpone setion. SO PRODUCTION HALTED, BUSINESS WAITED AND CLEVELAND HAO HARDLY BEEN SEATED WHEN PANIC RESULTED, ALL BECAUSE FREE TRADE DOCTRINAIRES WERE IN THE SADDLE AND SOMETHING WOULD BE DONE; BUT WHAT, ALL HUMAN WISDOM COULD NOT TELL. LET IT ONCE BE KNOWN THAT A RADICAL CHANGE WILL BE MADE IN OUR TARIFF, AND THE SAME CONDITIONS WILL AGAIN RESULT. BUSINESS WILL ACCOMMODATE ITBELF TO ADVERSE FIXED CONDITIONS, BUT UNCERTAINTY IS ITS DEATH. Let it be known that after a|l revision done by friendly hands still there will be enough protection to equalize the rate of wages paid our albor wages paid abroad, and the producer has no uncertainty to dread and has only to meet the fluctuations In prices to which ho io accustomed.

What the Republican Party Stands For By SENATOR CHAS. W. FAIRBANKS. The Republican party had its birth In a quickened national coneclence. Its Immortal founders dedicated It to the caueo of human liberty, the highest and beet Intoreeta of the people. IT MUST CONTINUE TO BE TRUE TO THE IDEALS AND PURPOSES OF ITS FOUNDERS AND TO THE GREAT MEN WHO HAVE RAISED IT TO ITB PRESENT PROUD EMINENCE. New issues will arise, new queetiona will divide the people, of which m know not now. THE RBPUBLICAN PARTY WILL BE FOUND ESPOUSING THOSE ISSUKS AND THOSE QUESTIONS WHICH MAKE FOR THE STABILITY, THE HONOR AND THE WELFARE OF THE COUNTRY. IT MUST HOLD FAST TO THOSE GREAT FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINES OF HUMAN LIBERTY FOR WHICH OUR FOREFATHERS STOOD; FOR.THE RIGHTS OF ALL AND THE EQUALITY OF ALL BEFORE THE LAW. If It advocate princlploo and policloa which will square with these whelssome truths, the years of Its power and supremacy are unnumbered and Its beneficent influence unmeasured.

Our now peooeeolona answer that question; the Orient answers that question; the •oography of the world answers that guaotiek i
