(Contumed from Tint Page.) tendered hlinty the Republican state con vention today, expressed his unqualified approval of "every line and letter" of the V platform. Then he said: "I cannot allow this occasion to pass without a word respecting some differ ences of opinion In the Republican ranks as to the tariff and reciprocity. We all stand firmly for the policy of protection. It Is the fundamental economic doctrine of the Republican party, and every Re publican must believe In It, stand for It, and advocate It, else he Is not a Re publican. "When, however, we approach the ap plication of the policy to our Industrial affairs there Is room for honest differ ences of objection, and I for one neither discourage nor condemn the fair, honest and frank expression of these differences of opinion. Some may believe that there are schedules which should be changed now; some may believe that there are schedules that should be changed next year and there are others who may be lieve that the schedules should not be changed, at all; and still they are loyal to the .party and present a united front to the common enemy. t Will Stick to His VI errs. "I neither Impugn any man's motives, question his Integrity, nor challenge his Republicanism because he does not agree with me concerning the application of the historic pdllcy of the industrial world. For myself, I have during the last two years frequently given utterances to my views upon the various phases of the tariff and reciprocity. These views have not been hastily formed nor carelessly expressed; and I shall .maintain them In the future as I have in the past, simply because I believe them to be true, r have the profoundest faith In the policy of protection; and I find In the platform you have Just adopted one of the moat complete and emphatic tributes to Its wisdom and efilclency ever penned "by 'the hand of man. "I believe that the transformations of the last six years demand a- change In some of the schedules that were enacted to carry this policy Into effect; and I find in your platform a distinct recognition of the necessity. I believe that some of the tariff rates are too high, and that they should be reduced; and I find In the platform the warrant for my position. Monopolies Are Intolerable. "I believe that monopolies are Intoler able, and all Just powers of the Govern ment should be unceasingly exerted .to prevent any overthrow of. them; and I find In the platform that schedules must he opposed to domestic monopoly as well as foreign control. "I believe In the reciprocity which will Increase the production of American farms and American workshops; and I .find In, the platform that reciprocity be tween nations Is trade for mutual advan tage, and both sides must give and take. "Conscious of the differences of opinion that I have already outlined, and con scious of nothing but a spirit of amity, I yet Intend to exert all my power, hum ble and feeble as It is, to make the views I have so inadequately slated the pre vailing views of the Republican party." THE PLATFORM. Tariff Revision Ik Favored Only When- the Conditions Realrc. DES 3IOINES, July L The platform adopted by the Republican state conven tion today congratulates the Nation on the present era of prosperity; commends the administration of Governor Cummins; rejoices In Iowa leadership In National affairs; favors good roads legislation? In dorses -the Louisiana Purchase Commis sion, and on other subjects says: "We commend entirely and without reservation the Administration of Presi dent Roosevelt. Called as he was to the office of Chief Executive under the most trying circumstances, his fidelity to the public welfare, the wisdom and modera tion of his utterances and counsel, and the painstaking zeal which he brings to the performance of all his duties com mand our respect and admiration. Iowa n Republicans, In common with the Repub licans oi tne entire xsation, expect and o .desire his unanimous nomination as his .mj jwn successor. th "We congratulate the people of the state ar that In hte Cabinet and among his ad si vIbmh. Town, hns such Tsrlf nhlA anil of Judicious statesmen as Secretaries Shaw nx ana Wilson. qi "We also congratulate the people of the Estate that in the Senate of the United States our representatives hold positions - of the highest character and Influence; and that our representatives In the lower f. house of Congress occupy positions of foremost place in' that body. The Tariff. "We reiterate our faith in the historic policy of protection. Under its Influence our country, -foremost In the bounties of Nature, has become foremost in produc tion. It has enabled the laborer to success fully Insist upon good wages and has in duced capital to engage In production with a reasonable hope of a fair reward. Its vindication is found In the history of its success and the rapidity with which our National resources have been developed and onf Industrial Independence secured, and we: heartily renew our pledge to main tain it. "Tariff rates enacted to carry this policy into effect should be Just, fair and impar tial, -equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monopoly, to sectional dls crimination and Individual favoritism, and must from time to time be chanced to meet the varying conditions incident to the progress of our industries and their changing relations In our foreign and do mestic commerce. Duties that are too low should he Increased, and duties that are too high should be reduced. "We Indorse the policy of reciprocity as the natural complement of protection. Reciprocity between nations Is trado for mutual advantage and both sides must lve and take. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own markets for ourselves; reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. r "We approve the treaty with Cuba re cently ratified, as conferring substantial benefits upon both countries and urge that the remaining steps necessary to make It eifective be promptly taken. The Traat. "We believe that the large corporations commonly called 'trusts' should be so regulated and supervised both In their or ganisation and operation that their tvll tendencies may be checked and their evil practices prevented. . In many instances they 'are efficient industrial instruments and the natural outcome of an inevitable process of economic evolution. We do not desire their destruction, butlnslst that they shall be so regulated and controlled as to prevent monopoly and promote compe tition and in the fullest measure subserve and advance the public good. "Tho patriotic and resolute course of the President of the United States in his recommendations to Congress upon this subject and upon the related subject of the further regulation of Interstate com merce commands our confidence and ad miration and recent legislation of Congress In harmony with his recommendations meets our hearty approval." "We note with satisfaction the gradual improvement of conditions In our relations with the Philippine Islands under an ad ministration avoiding the necessity for control through military power, and we commend the steady progress made in the preparation of the Philippine people for the fullest practical degree of self government. AlIesrlaRce ,to Gold. Standard. "We renew our allegiance to the prin ciple of the gold standard as enunciated In the National platforms of the National Republican conventions in 1S56 and 1900, which resulted in the establishment of the parity of all our money and the stability of our currency on a gold basis. "The essence of freo government la government by law. Laws must be en forced by the Government and should be cheerfully obeyed by the people. The spirit of lawlessness wherever met must be rebuked, and we commend the fidelity and zeal of the National and state officials, wherever exercised for the vindi cation of this principle. "We are earnestly opposed to all legis lation designed to accomplish the disfran chisement of citizens upon lines of race, color or station In life, and condemn the measures adopted by the Democratic party in certain states of the Union to accomplish that end. "Under Republican administration of National affairs gratitude to our soldiers and sailors has been attested by liberal pensions provided by legislation sup ported always by the nearly unanimous votes of the Republicans In Congress. We recommend the further provision for this purpose as made by the last Congress." ADDRESS OF THE CHAIRMAN. Reciprocity MBit Be Extended and the Treats Controlled. DES MOINES, la., July L The Hon. George D. Perkins, of Sioux City, the tem porary chairman of the Republican State Convention, today, on assuming the gavel, made the following address: "While we Insist on stability of eco nomic policy as a prime economic need of our country; I take It the Republicans of Iowa agree to the declaration or the President of the United States In his last annual message that 'this stability should not be fosslllzatlon.' It would be extremely unfortunate, as the lessons of experience give us warrant for believing, If sweeping and violent changes in our tariff system should be undertaken, and especially so, as the President pointed out In his recent Minneapolis address, 'If approached on the theory that the principle of the protective tariff was to be abandoned.' The fact, however, is not for one moment to be lost sight of that change is Inevitable. Fosslllzatlon will not bo tolerated. Dic tation apart from consideration of the broad interests of National welfare will not be endured. 'Where the Industrial conditions so frequently change, as with us must of necessity be the case,' said the President In his late tariff speech, it Is a matter of prime Importance that we should be able from time to time to adapt our economic policy to changed condi tions.' That Is what our platform In 1S01 declared. That Is what our platform In 1902 reaffirmed. As to Changes in TariS. "The Republican party from the begin ning of Its history has given the policy of protection uniform Interpretation. The object Is, in association with raising rev enue, to safeguard the industrial interests of our own people to protect the labor of our country against unequal competition. It follows, of course, that as conditions change some of our tariffs may be too low, and such tariffs should be raised; It is even more likely that some of our tar iffs are too high and such tariff s. should be reduced. The labor of the country, under the best and wisest application of the protective policy. Is not only to be protected In what It has to sell, but it Is also to be protected In what it has to buy. "Tariff changes should be well consid ered. They should he made cautiously and conservatively. They should not be dictated by mere- 'politics. Every change should have the support of a sound busi ness reason. Every change should be made In strict conformity to the general policy, which we call 'the historic policy.' The Republican party has had but one definition of that policy. 'It Is fundamentally based,' said the President so recently as the 3d of April, 'upon ample recognition of the difference between the cost of production that Is. the cost of labor here and abroad, and of the need to see to It that our laws shall In no event afford advantage in our own market to foreign Industries over American Indus tries, to foreign capital over American capital, to foreign labor over our own labor. "It is vitally Important to the preserva tion of the policy of protection to keep the definition In mind, to keep the essen tial qualities In mind and to falter not In loyal, Intelligent and courageous service. "We have not passed the tlme In this country or anywhere In this' world when contest Is not Imperative against the Im mediate and changing alms and organiza tion of selfish interest What we need to do is to meet narrow Interest with broad interest, giving adherence to enduring principle, determined to subordinate the few to the will and welfare of the many. This we may insist upon in the name of protection. "The Republican party will take its record with It Into the campaign of this year, and It will carry it as an open book in the campaign of next year. In all that record there is no history of fosslllzatlon, and upon that will be "based the claim that fosslllzatlon does not await the party in the immediate future. In Behalf of Reciprocity. "Wo have accomplished something In behalf of reciprocity, but not much meas ured by our desire. The Democratic party .has been able to defeat, In the main, the application of that policy In the develop ment of our trade relations with other countries. The -Democratic party may be able to defeat treaties requiring approval by the Senate hy a two-thirds rote, but I do not anticipate that the Democratic party will be ablo to defeat the policy of reciprocity. "I would not remove a slnglo safeguard to American labor.v I would not put out of mind for a moment the material Inter ests of our increasing armies of workers. I would not lose sight for a day of the essential need of supremacy In our own markets. If the policy of reciprocity Is not compatible with the welfare of the men of the field and the shop, then to pronounce it 'twin' of protection, 'the handmaiden of protection,' 'the natural complement .of protection" Is an Inexcusa ble misnomer. "I am not "unmindful of the fact that prosperity has come to us beyond tho dream of the St. Louis convention, nor am I unmindful of the fact that our indus trial and commercial relations at home and throughout the world have undergone and arc still undergoing marvelous change, but all this does not lessen our responsibility. Centre! ef the Trust. "I take It In readjusting our economic policy we cannot -wisely Ignore the nat ural law of competition. Domestic com petition has made us powerful at home; we cannot wholly cut loose from compe tition in tho safe pursuit of our ambition to lead in the trade of : the world. "But we cannot lace our whole de pendence on competition nor can we in voke competition at wllL Because we cannot do this om of vs are disposed to feel resentful. ,We are disposed to an tagonize large corporations and to believe the worst of them. We say the law In some way should bring them down to our level. Not much of benefit to ourselves or to society can be hoped for on that line. "Mighty, forces are at work, and can not be diverted, to eliminate competition in the large business of the country and the world These forces are engaged In cheapening the cost of production and of transportation, and to that extent, we must agree, are answering popular de mand and following sound economic law. The vast magnitude of transactions, Im possible except under enormous aggrega tions of capital, of Itself precludes old fashioned competition. If what we recog nize as competition remains at all, it Is transferred to the comparative few, with interests largely Identical and inviting to compacts and understandings. We do not care to destroy or cripple the business of these corporations; we want to pro tect the business and at the same time protect the public welfare. Thus It Is that we are compelled to call Into action a reserve power of the Government the power to regulate. That Is the power we, Invoke In dealing with so-called trusts and monopolies. What we need to do is to provide protection against abuses. We do not wish to punish the Innocent, but tho guilty we must pursue. Unbridled Competition an Evil. "We are compelled to admit, as an eco nomic principle, that ' evils attend, com petition as well as combination. ' The evils of unbridled competition are many. Because this Is so labor Is organized and for the same reason capital Is organized. If It were desirahle It would not be possi ble to prevent men from using all the re sources at their command to secure Just compensation for their labor, to preserve their property and to Increase their legit imate business gains. Therein Is the great field of competition and whatever else we may undertake to do It Is to be hoped the policy of crippling the energies of men In that field of competition will not be seriously undertaken. "In working out this problem there is yet much to learn on either side, but I am disposed to say that the progress that has been made Is gratifying, and-that It affords good promise of adjustment on lines of enduring and mutual Interest. "The situation, as It seems to me, must Illustrate to temperate and well-ordered minds the Importance of maintaining a man of wisdom and high charactor In the office of chief executive; and this gives me confidence that Theodore Roosevelt will be nominated and elected for a full term in the Presidency In his own right. I am also encouraged to believe that un der the same scrutiny and Judgment the Congress to bo chosen next year will be chosen from the ranks of the Republican party. "Our flag Is the flag of the free; and wherever It is set up human liberty must be protected, ennobled and expanded. I have that confidence In the American people. I have that confidence In their ability to govern themselves. I have that confidence in their tact and disposition to teach the nations that all wise and en during government Is founded In righteousness." BRISTOW VICE-PRESIDENT? Graphic, Sketch of the Fourth As sistant Postmaster-General. Major Carson to the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Personally Bristow is a figure to know and remember. He stands six feet two In his stockings. He Is sinewy and pow erful In muscle. His eyes glow and flash behind his spectacles. In manner he w one of Nature's gentlemen, and has all the kindness and gewtlllty of manners that would mark a nobleman, but he was born and brought up to hard conditions of life. He knows what toil Is, and long ago confessed to fate that nothing would come to him without his going after It and working like a beaver to get it. When a boy and on until he was a man grown up he used to tumble out of bed at 4 o'clock In the morning, and get to feed tho plow team and milk the cows. He went barefoot until he could buy his own hoots, and he never dared go courting until he had gone out to Kansas and got an education, and his first suit of tailor- made clothes. All this was long ago, and yet he was born the day after the first battle of Bull Run, and will not be 42 for a month yet. He would be a young man's candidate, and this Is another rea son why President Roosevelt likes him. He went to Kansas when he was 19, went through a university named after a Mr. Baker. This was seven years after he had gone back to Kentucky to get mar ried. He was 26 years old, and did not think he could afford the time to read law. So he took up newspaper work. He owned and edited the Sallna Republican, then a weekly and now a good dally. In 1SS4 he attended his first state convention. Popu lism ha'd fun Its course In his county, there were few Republicans in good and regular standing there, and Bristow was the best man there was. His neighbors sent him to the front to represent the county, and he has stayed' there ever since. He be came Governor Morrill's private secretary, and at the same time took the little larger Income he now received to buy the Otta wa Herald, a paper that has, as he says, been a good friend to him ever since. Kansas people say It Is a veritable gold mine, the editor's popularity and the pros perity of the region combining to make It a household necessity. At this time also Bristow was made secretary of the Republican state commit tee, and began to show generalship with men. It carried his name two years later to the White House, and he was ap pointed by President McKinley Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General, a position which no man before him has held for Beven years, or honored more. In the dead heat of the Summer of 1900 he was sent to run down the postal frauds of the Neely-Rathbone regime. The long, lean Kentucklan from Kansas, stripped to his undershirt, and with the thermometer chockablock In the tubs and the moisture so thick In, the air that blotting pads wouldn't work, went through the books and put his finger on the steals. When the present Investigation came on, Bristow was the first man feared hy the rascals. He was the first man thought of to put on the trail. He has been there night and day since, and he will stay there until the last one Is caught and the department cleaned up. This may take months. If so, all the better for Bristow. It will keep his name at the front, and compel the honor an honest man deserves at the hands of his party and the people. , This Is the trend of the Bristow Idea among the men who have been first to re allze his fitness for the time and the op portunity. It is a year to the convention, and with some men there might be a doubt as to what might happen In the Interval. Not so with Bristow. He Is a man of even character and accomplish ment. He Is never brilliant today and flat as a shingle tomorrow. He Is good for Just so many "hard licks" every day In the year. If he were splitting rails and he knows from experience Just how to swing a maul and plunk a wedge he would cut, split and pile his 300 a day Just as long as the timber lasted. There Is.no danger that Bristow will not keep his record a year and add to It handsome ly. When the convention wants him 3ie can be found right where he has been all the time doing his duty. A Cotton Gin Plant for Memphis. Memphis Commercial-Appeal. Tho Fulton Cotton Gin Company, cap italized at J750,000. will establish a fac tory In Memphis for the purpose of manu facturing the Fuller cotton gin as soon as a suitable location can bs found. The site will comprise ten acres and will be occupied with a number of buildings. This Is the first plant to be established In the United States for the manufacture of this gin, which is comparatively a recent In vention, being the work of James T. Ful ler, formerly a native of Calvert, Tex. The plant Is to be operated with electricity throughout, and will employ about 200 men and make 900 gins a year.

Llpplncotffl Magazine. He was extremely bashful and very much In love, and the combination made his life miserable. One evening he called and found the whole family, with the great exception of Herself, assembled In the library. He discussed politics with Her father and the servant question with Her moth er, when suddenly his tongue faltered, for She appeared In the doorway. Rising hastily, he exclaimed, more cor dially than gracefully: "Ah, at last, here comes the missing link-;' He Coald Hot Be Seen. Our Dumb Anlmal3.

We want every man In every walk of life to know about the wonderful potent features that have made our practice grow. One Is, we curp dis eases quicker and more thoroughly than other physicians can.

"WEAKNESS" We not only cure "weakness" promptly, but we employ the only treatment that can possibly cure this disorder permanently. It Is mainly a system of local treatment entirely original with ourselves, and Is employed) by no other physicians. This may seem a broad assertion, but It is just as substantial as It Is broad.
