Serrotnry Shaw this morning said:
"In my Judgment the tariff will come
first, and declaration on that subject
will practically follow the one of four
years ngo.
"There has been no change of con
ditions and utterances of the party
will be reiterated. The "Iowa idea"
has been shelved by Iowa Itself, and
although there will be no declaration
to the effect that there will be no re
vIhIcih nf tho tariff schedule, neither
I will there bo any promise of revision
I In tho near future, or later.
"Of course the platform will con
, sldcr the trust question. Tho admin
istration's policy will be approved,
but there will be no declaration call
ing on rongresB for riotous action.
"There will probably be a demand
that the tariff be removed from artl
cle.s on which there Is no competition
in trade, but I don't think It will go
further than that."
