Secretary Shaw and hasn't whimpered tariff reform' Since,-except as he does so indirectly yet very plainly in the language quoted, for it is largely due to the tariff that "industrial and manufacturing companies 7 form monopolies,. Mrestrain.tra.deJ1lrui.n jiyals . and, inflict ;; the Imost grievous injustice upon the unprotecfed pub- lie." Governor Cummins .., declares that protection . doesn't protect the public, but only the "companies that" thereby "form monopolies." ; v - Evidently- Senators. Allison and rDoHiver and Secre tary Shaw and ; other Iowa standpatters witl have' to discipline the governor again, or .try maybe if they, did he would succeed walker- in the senate. The governor may : be sincere, and his backbone may have stiffened, but though he is beginning his tariff reform crusade tather late he will nevertheless be warmly welcomed to the fold. ! .. .i.: 11 ij i. : ,t -': ;, sJfR.
