adopted. The platform says:
"We believe, with Lincoln. Garfield,
McKinley and Roo?velt, In the pro
tective tariff that wisely fosters Amer
ican Industries and safeguards Ameri
can wages. We oppose a general re
vision of the tariff at this time as both
inopportune and unconstitutional. If
in any schedule import duties are
found that have perverted from their
true purpose to inordinate enrichment
of corporations monopolists in fact or
In tendency, we look to the Republi
can congress to apply in its wis lorn
the needed corrective without Impair
ing the principle of protection."
