The bureau of immigration and nat
uralization it doing most effective work
in diverting hundreds of poor alien
from the crowded centers of the coun
try to fertile farm and other places
where there la a demand for that clans
of laborers. This bureau Is charged by
an act of Congress with the great un
dertaking of promoting a beneficial
distribution of admitted aliens and
others seeking employment, but the ac
tual work of distribution is conducted
by the Information branch of the immi
gration service In New York City. The
method employed Is to send out cards
to all persons unable to secure neces
sary help, Including farm laborers,
common laborers and mechanics. Whnt
erer kind of help Is seeded is Indicat
ed by the replies on the return postal
crds. About 000,000 cards have boon
cattered broadcast over the country,
nd It is estimated that altogether
bout 4,000,000 cards will be sent out
In the near future. From February 1
-last to, the close of Juno nearly 1,000
liens and others bad been sent in re
sponse to applications to various parts
of the country. Twenty-six nationali
ties are represented in this distribu
tion and the employment secured was
principally farm work.
When the Interstate Commerce Com
mission announced that It would start

before the Receivers' and Shippers' As

a public letter to the President, charg
ing that the Missouri Pacific and Rock
Island bad deliberately Ignored the
mandate of the court and asking If
there is no power in the laud "to reach
railroad companies that brush aside the
decrees of our courts." The statement
of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion gives notice that a close check Is
being kept on all Increases In rates and,
while admitting that It can not legally
do anything toward altering rates bo
r fore they have been in effect and com
plaints filed, It intimates that prelimi
nary Investigation on its own nniou
Is possible and that this would make
action very prompt. The presumption
that prosecution would follow is appar

SHERMAN'S SPEECH
Senator Burrows and Gontlemen of the
Notification Committee: Your chairman,
speaking for the committee, has notified
rae of my nomination by the Republican
national convention, held In Chicago In
June, an the party's candidate for Vice
President. As I chanced to lie in Chicago
in June, I bad an inkling of Hhe conven
tion' action, which was confirmed by a
warm-hearted reception tendered me by
my neighbors on the occasion of my
homecoming July 2.
This official notification, however, is
welcome and the nomination you tender
roe is accepted accepted with a gratitude
commensurate with the great honor con
ferred ; accepted with a full appreciation
of the obligations wliich accomny that
rwvnor. an honor greater because my name
Is linked with that of William H. Taft,
whom I respect and esteem highly and
who approaches the high office of Presi
dent exceirtionnlly well equipped to dis
charge the duties and bear the varied and
weighty responsibilities of that exalted
position.
Indorses Krrrr Statement of Taft.
My acceptance could not be made with
honor unless I were in full accord with
the declaration of principles adopted by
the convention. Not only am I In full
and complete accord with my party's
platform, but I indorse every statement
made by Mr. Taft In his address of ac
ceptance when notified of his nomination
as the Republican candidate for Presi
dent. That speech fully and comprehensively
discusses the issues of this campaign as
presented by the platforms of the two
great parties, so that It Is appropriate
that my statement should be short. Those
not convinced by the presentation of Mr.
Taft I could not hope to persuade. It
is, however, in conformity with custom
that I refer at least briefly to some of
the Important Issues of the campaign.
First, then, let me say that I am a
protectionist. I am sufficiently practical
to value the utility of a fact higher than
the beauty of a theory, and I am a, pro
tectionist because experience has demon
strated that the application of that prin
ciple has lifted ua as a nation to a plane
of prosperity above that occupied by any
other people.
Commends Tariff Plank.
I especially commend that plank of our
platform which promises an early revis
ion of tariff schedules. That pledge will
be fulfilled in an adjustment baaed in ev
ery particular upon the broad principles
of protection for all American interests,
alike for labor, for capital, for producers
and for consumers. The Dlngley bill,
when enacted, was well adapted to the
then existing conditions. The develop
ments of industrial prosperity in a de
cade, which in volume and-, degree have
surpassed our most roseate expectations,
have so altered conditions that in certain
details ot schedules they no longer in
every particular mete out justice to all.
In tills readjustment the principle of
protection must and will govern ; such
duties must and will be imposed as will
equalize the cost of production at home
and abroad and Insure a reasonable profit
to all American interests. The Repub
lican Idea of such a profit embraces not
alone the manufacturer, not alone the
capital invested, but all engaged in
American -production, the employer and
employed, the artisan, the farmer, the
miner and those engaged in transporta
tion and trade broadly speaking, those
engaged in every pursuit and calling
which our tariff directly or indirectly af
fects. During a statutory application of
this principle prosperity has abided with
as. When a revenue tariff has been the
law adversity and want have been our
portion.
Criticises Democratic Party.
Our Democratic brethren, whose mem
ories are as short as their promises are
frail, 'and who have always exhibited a
lack of capacity to profit by experience,
unmindful of the distress and destruction
that arrived and departed with the last
Democratic administration, declare in
thnir platform that they favor such "im
mediate revision of schedules as
may be necessary to restore the tariff to
S revenue basis." A "revenue basis," a
tariff for revenue only," "ultimate free
trade," all have an identical meaning,
that meaning being an assault upon
American industries, an attack upon the
American wage scale, a lessening demand
for the products of American soil and
American toll; less work, less pay, less
of the necessaries of and comforts of life.
In the light of history, what issue of
the campaign so vitally affects American
citizens? Experience, that effective teach
er effective save with the one-man pow
er now parading ujider the title of the
I'emorratic party nas taugtit the nation
a valuable lesson, and the result of the
coming November election once more will
prove the American people to be apt
scholars. What the lnlstrer of the land,
skilled and unskilled, desires is the op
portunity at all times to exchange his
brain and brawn for good pay in good
money. A protective tariff and the gold
standard, both now the existing achieve
ments of the Itepuhlicnii party, In spite
of Democratic opposition, give the laborer
that opportunity.
Labor's Equality la t'nhrld.
The Republican party believes in the
equality ot all men before the law be
lieves In grant itig IiiInm-'h every ropiest
that docs not seek to accord rights to one
tnau denied to another. Fair-minded 'v
bor aks no more, no less, mid npprove.4
the ret out of the RepubU-i.ri party e
cauxe ot that party's acts. 1 havo- leaped
to make my party's record hi the eni"t
menc of the eight-hour law, the employer'
lU'i lity act, the statutes to minimize t'ie
hazard of railroad employes, the chlld

mill other enactments designed especially
t improve the conditions of labor. 1 c-ru
not hoM to state my position on Injunc
tions better than by a vitie Indoiw
nieut of -Mr. Tuft's Cincinna'i declara
tion on that subject. That inoorsemt-ut I
mrd.e.
As a nation our duty comels that b
ever.i constitutional and reasonable means
thy material and educational condition of
the eoN.ied race be advanced. This we
owe to ourselves as well as to them. As
the result of a course of eveuts that c.tn
ni-ver be reversed they are a part of our
civilization; their prosierity is our pros
perity; their debasement would be our
misfortcne. The Republican party, there
fore, Hll offer every encouragement lo
the thrift. Industry and intelligence that
will bullet their prospect of higher attain
ment. Army and Kavjr as IVace Guaranty
1 believt in the maintenance of such an
army, the upbuilding of such a navy as
will be the guaranty of the protection
of American citizens and American inter-4-sti

OF ACCEPTANCE
o fortified that no power on earth may
be tempted to molest us. I believe in
the restoration of the American merchant
marine and In rendering whatever finan
cial aid may be necessary to accomplish
tills purpose.
I spprove the movement for the con
servation of our national resources, the
fostering of friendly relations, the en
forcement of our civil service law and the
enactment of such statutes as will more
securely and more effectively preserve the
public health.
Our platform, as It should do. pledges
adherence to the policies of President
Roosevelt and promises to continue the
work Inaugurated during his administra
tion, to Insure to persons and property
every proper safeguard, and all necessary
strengthening of administrative methods
will be provided to furnish efficient In
spection and suMrvision, and prompt
. righting of every injustice, discrimination
and wrong.
I have not touched upon every plank of
our splendid platform, but I reiterate my
full and unqualified approval of Its every
promise.
Onpoars Fostering; Class Hatred.
I emphasize as my party's creed and
my faith that in legislation and adminis
tration favor should be extended to no
class, no sect, no race, no section as op
posed to another. To foster class hatred,
to foster discontent, is un-Republlcan and
un-American. Our party stands on the
declaration that all men are created with
equal rights, and it will have no part in
the enactment or execution of any law
that does not apply alike to all goo.l
Americnn citizens, whatever their calling
or wherever they live. It will allow no
man in our land to hare advantage in
law over any otiher man. It offers no
safeguard to cajHtal that Is not guaran
teed to labor; no protection to the work
man that Is not insured to his employer.
It would offer to each and to both in
pursuit of health and happiness and pros
perity every possible advantage.
The work that has been given the Re
publican party to do bas been of Immense
importance. Much of that work bas been
fully accomplished ; some has yet
to be completed. Republican declara
tions once in our platform and no longer
there are omitted because they have be
come accomplished facts. On the other
hand, Democratic declarations have been
abandoned because the voters have pro
nounced them to be unwise and unsafe
and unsuited to our times and our coun
try. Shall People Unlet" No Issue.
"Shnll the people rule?'is declared by
the Democratic platform and candidate
to be "the overshadowing issue
now under discussion." It is no issue.
Surely the people shall rule, surely the
people have ruled ; surely the people do
rule. No party rules. The party, com
missioned by the people, is simply the
instrument to execute the people's will,
and from that party which does not obey
their expressed will, or which lacks the
wisdom to lead successfully, the people
will withdraw their commission.
For half a century, with but two ex
ceptions, the people have commissioned
the Republican party to administer the
national government, because its declared
principles appealed to their best judg
ment ; because the common sense of the
American people scented danger in Dem
ocratic policies. Ours always has been,
always mnta be, a government of the
people. That party will, after March 4
next, execute old laws and enact new ones
as in November it Is commissioned by
the people to do. That commission will
be from an untrammeled American elec
torate. Shame on the party which, shame
on ;he candidate who, insults the Ameri
can people by the suggestion or declara
tion that a majority of Its electorate Is
venal I The American voter, with rare
exception, in casting his ballot Is guided
by his best Judgment, by his desire to con
serve his own and the public weal.
The overshadowing Issue of the cam
paign rcajly is : Shall the administration
of President Roosevelt be approved ; shall
a party of demonstrated capacity in ad
ministrative affairs be continued In pow
er; shall the reins of government be plac
ed In experienced hands, or do the people
prefer to trust their destinies to an aggre
gation of experimental malcontents and
theorists, whose only claim to a history
is a party name they pilfered?
With a record of four decades of wise
legislation, two score years of faithful
administration, offering Its fulfilled
pledges as a guaranty of its promises for
the future, the Republican party appeals
to the people and, with full confidence in
their wisdom and patriotism, awaits the
rendition of the November verdict.
Smoke Stacks and Tariff.
With glaring inconsistency some of
our cMtccnicd contenipriirics clamor for
"more smokestacks," and, nt the same
time, vehemently denounce the protect
ive tariff.
This country owes Its great Industrial
development to the policy of protection.
Were It not for the tariff there would
be but few sinokeHtitcks. mills or fac
tories In the United States. Those
countries that had their manufacturing
Interests highly dovclool and thai
were paying lubor wretched wages,
could hold the American market In
definitely with their products, and their
competition would make It unprofitable
and Impossible' to develop American In
dustry. Under the stimulating Influence of
the tariff this country hits become the
leading Industrial center of the world.
The high degree of development It has
attained In ttfis respect, suggests the ad
visability of certain mMliiicatloiis In
tariff schedules, uud a revision has been
decided uisin, but this will la carried
out by the friends of protection not
the veiled udvoctites of free-trade.
Scran ton Truth.
t'ndermtalnic th Rc-venae.
The tnrff schedules as arranged by
the Congress which pussed the very ef
fective Dingley bill produced ample
revenues until, under the Influence of
the unceasing pressure of the free-trade-crs,
commercial treaties attacking the
source of revenue were consummated
and confidence was undermined by in
cessant talk about tariff revision, which
had n tendency to still further reduce
receipts. The effej't now being witness
ed is merely u repetition of former ex
iKTlcnceK, which seem to jsilnt con
clusively to the lnevltnbleness f de
ficiencies and their attendant evils
when the sources of revenue us assail
ed by the odvs-utcs of free-trade.
Sun Frauclscu Chronicle.
Calling; on tb Farmers.
Mr. Bryan Invites farmers to com
forward with campaign contribution
and reminds them thut many of their
number would not miss $100 from
their cash surplus If they gave thl
amount toward a change of the na
tional administration from Republican
to the Bryan faith cure. Twelve years
ago, lu the first and much the most
promising of his efforts as a presi
dential candidate, Mr. Bryan appealed
to farmers as u poverty-stricken class,
contending with low prices and finan
cial evils thut he said were due to the
gold standard, and thut ctjuld be cured
only by reducing the value of the dol
lar one-lmlf, regardless of what other
nations might think or do about it.
Many tillers of the soil thought there
was truth In this theory, und certainly
knew that the prices of farm product
were low. The country nt thut time
wus under u Democratic administration
and had recently been subject to full
Democratic control, but Mr. Bryan
preached a new kind of Democracy, es
pecially hi regard to the unicy stand
aid. Several northern agricultural
States west of the Mississippi gave him
u majority In lsotl, but went against
him four years later, because events
proved him to be mistaken in views and
talse lu reasoning. Prosperity came by
taking the road ho declared would be
fatal.
Xo longer is Mr. Bryuu offering the
farmers u oO-ccut dollar. He Is silent
on that subject. He can smile and
smile Just the same, regardless of his
large collection of played-out para
mount b-sttes. Ills argument now Is
that. In sonic mysterious way, farmers
will be benefited by his election and
that, since the gold standard has re
plenished their cash reserve, they
should Invest n part of it in the lutest
Bryan blind pool. The most powerful
political microscope falls to show any
fungible good for farmers lu the Bryan
program. In fact, he has nothing wor
thy to be called a prospective line of
action. If he were elected the Senate
will continue to be Republican through
out his term. Ills policies, If he has
any outside of free trade, could not
take the form of laws during the next
four years. He has had uo experience
in statesmanship. Ills brief and only
official service has been in the House
of Representatives. He could name a
new Secretary of Agriculture, but that
department has been admirably well
managed during the last twelve years,
und Its field effectively broadened, as
every live farmer knows.
Farmers do not gather in cash so
easily that they will send a share to
political committees without sulmtan
tlal reasons. Mr. Bryan, In his way,
Is a farmer, but has said that he tuust
make money otherwise to keep even.
He received last year $,"2,000 from lec
turing mid his political organ adds
largely to his Income. His perpetual
candidacy advertises his lectures and
his weekly pnper. He can give strong
personal pecuniary reasons for the
course he pursues, but what Is there In
It for n farmer who sends $100 to his
campaign fund after digging the money
out of the soil? Under the last Demo
cratic turiff n sheep jrould not be sold
for 50 cents. M. Bryan offers another
free trade Democratic tariff with a cor
rcsiMHidlng range of prices. What else
he offers no prophet can tell though
much can be guessed from the fact
that lie Is already up to his neck In
exploded fallacies, a subject on which
he Is dumb In spite oJL,hls unlimited
facility for speech. A farmer who sends
money to the Bryan campaign fund
must truly have a superfluity to throw
at the birds. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Opposite Policies.
, The DeiniK-racy as shown by the tar
iff phi nk ndopted at Denver stands foi
a tariff for revenue only with Inci
dental protection if so It may happen.
The two policies are diametrically op
Ksed to each other. It Is not so lonj
ago that this country tried this pollcj
as embodied in the Wilson tariff bill
that its disastrous consequences to tht
worklngmen has been forgotten. II
was a severe lesson, and the intelligent
worklugman has since voted against I
policy which produced so much wanl
and misery. The tariff revision thai
Republicans are demanding Is not tin
kind the Democrats would give us II
they got a chance. The country hai
had all of that sort that It want, atU
will assuredly vote for no more. Tht
principle that protection means pros
lerlty Is one that we cannot afford tl
lose sight of lu making tariff changes
The tariff will be revised by thl
friends of the protective thoory. II
will be revised upward In some cases
downward In some other. It will b
equalized In all cases. It will be madi
to fit the changed conditions that hav
arisen In the lust dozen years. It will
remain protective, however.
The present schedule will not stiff el
n horizontal scaling down. It will bi
taken up by Its friends and carefullj
gone over, section by section, and care
fully prepared so as to afford prote
tlon and revenue to fit modern condl
tlons. Camden l'ost-Telegrain.
Free-Trade and Crime.
With the raising of the standard of
living during the eleven years of the
Dlngley tariff act, there has been a de
crease in crime lu comparison with that
of the period of the Wilson tariff act
a conspicuous feature of which was the
long Huts of gaunt men and women
waiting at the soup houses. Men who
were out of employment then huddled
their families Into single rooms, where
as, under the prosperous period of the
Dingley tariff act. many of these fami
lies have bivii able to occupy homes for
their own families exclusively. Th
growth of crime, or Its disappearance.
Is largely Influenced by modee of living.
