SHAW TALKS ON COMMERCIALISM
Delegates to State Convention Gather
at Lincoln Choice for Supreme
Judge Open to the Field Ernst
Lcadc for Regent of State University.
Lincoln , Aug. 28. The annual meetIng -
Ing of the Nebraska League of Repub
lican clubs was held tit thoilVudltorlum
yesterday afternoon , with the largest
attendance In Its history. The ad-
dretis of the retiring president , B. M.
Pollard , was a summary of the work
of the league In the past campaign ,
which ho declared was a potent factor
In wresting the state from Populist
control. The report of the committee
on resolutions was brief , congratulat
ing the party on Its victory and com
mending the national and state admin
istration.
Walter A. LCCHO of Lincoln was elect
ed prusldunt. Last night the league
mouthers weio addressed by Governor
Shaw of Iowa , who Bald In part :
"By the application' of Republican
pollclcn wo have won mercantile inde
pendence and are well started toward
the conqnunt of the commercial world.
TIIO 8,111110 purpose must actuate Repub
lican ! ) In the futuic. American labor
must have employment and to that end
American capital must find avenues of
profitable Investments. But American
markets are no longer sufllclent. The
time Is on us when wo must secure
new outlets. In 50 years our agricul
tural products.have multiplied by foUr ,
whrTw otir manufactures have multi
plied by 11. Wo are consuming an
ever-Increasing proportion of the prod
ucts of our farms and exporting an
ever-increasing proportion of the prod
ucts of our factories. The demand for
now markets now Is but a whisper
rouipnrcd to the cry of coming years.
The best that can bo done for our In
dustrial Interests Is to open the ways
and broaden the channel of trado. How
'
can this bo done ? I answer , In many
ways and all ways. Reclaim the arid
portions of the states bordering on
the Rocky mountains and If no moro
feasible plan bo presented charge the
expense to the lands benefited , en
courage a merchant marine , construct
an Isthmian canal , continue to Improve
our consular service , and atiovo all , se
cure convention rights In the ports
of Europe and an open door throughout
Asia. The principle of reciprocity
must bo put In operation or It will
never again require the declaration
of a party platform to convince the
American people that the whole theory
of roclprocjty when It comes to actual
practice is a failure. The future of
reciprocity must not depend upon the
ratification of any particular treaty ;
but reciprocity as a policy , If not al
ready , will soon bo on trial , and on
trial for Us life. It must bo either ap
plied or , abandoned. > I do not say that
commercialism and statesmanship are
synonymous terms. But If legislating
for the nrotoctlon of our own markets
and the acquisition of others Is com
mercialism , then commercialism Is by
no means nn unimportant element In
American statesmanship. "
No Change In' Cuban Tariff.
Washington , Aug. 28. It Is probable
that there will bo no change In the
Cuban tariff. The commission which
has been revising the present tariff
lias not yet reported. It was stated at
the war department yesterday , that
such good progress is being made on
the formation of a Cuban government
that the revision of the tariff for Cuba
probably will await action by that gov
ernment.

Baltimore , Aug. 28. The seventh
