There U no doubtful note in Candl

poech of Aug. 18, responding to tho
Itlclal notification of hi nomination
7 the Republican party for the vice
presidency rings true to protection.
"First, then, let me nay that I am a
Protectionist" No one doubts It Long
fears of faithful and efficient service
as a Representative In Congress have
proved It. Mr. Sherman has never wab
bled on the tariff. lie has always be
lieved that American labor and indus
try should have the first lien on the
American market. Bo far as his voice
and Influence can affect legislation he
Will as Vice President be found on the
tide of uureluxed and adequate pro
tection. lie believes In the "reasonable profit"
declaration of the Republican platform
- reasonable profit not alone for the
manufacturers whose capital Is invest
d, but for the wage earner as well,
for the farmer who supplies the raw
material, for the miner who digs the
al and the ore, and for every hand
bat helps to produce and market the
Mulshed product
' Without profit there con be no busi
ness. Mr. Sherman would first Insure
profits by shutting out unfair and In
jurious competition, and would then di
vide up the profits among all that are
entitled to a share.
Experience has proved that profits
disappear when foreigners are allowed
to undersell ' American labor in the
American market Also that employ
ment disappears and wages shrink,
leaving the wage earner only a beggar
ly share of the profits, and probably no
hare at all.
A revision of the tariff with the "rea
sonable profit" principle strictly ad
hered to Is the pressing need of the
flme. It is because of the heavy Inflow
t cheaper products from abroad that
CAN G0MPRS DELIVER
reasonable profits have become Impos
sible. Accordingly nilllu and factories
are running on reduced time, or not
running at all, and 2.000,000 artisans
are out of employment.
Mr. Sherman interprets the Republi
can platform as promising to remedy
these bad conditions by such a revision
of the tariff as shall bring a return of
needful protection. -When that shall
have been done there will be no idle
mills and factories, and the 2,000,000
artisans will get back their Jobs.
Purely this Is worth striving for. If
there Is in this campaign a single issue,
or any group of combined Issues, so im
portant as the question of restoring
prosperity by restoring work and wages
we do not know what those issues are.
"We Farmers Ilou'l See It."
Not Uiig ago uu editorial In the New
tork World appeuled to the farmers
of the United States to rully to the sup
lort of a party which is pledged to re
duce a tariff taxation which the farm
er (according to the World's argument)
is forced to puy on everything he buys,
while getting l'o benefit from anything
be sells. This Is an old, exploded the
ory which has been so completely (lis
countenanced In the past eleven years
of phenomenal prosperity for farmers
that the World ought not to resort to
its use.
American farmers are the backbone
of protection. They know perfectly well
what they get out of it. When Rryan
was beaten in IS'.KI and McKlnley and
the Dingley tar.ff touched the button
that started the wheels in the mills and
factories the farmers were among the
first to reull.e the value of a policy
which provides a near-by market for
their products at greatly Increased

prices. They had Just passed through
the dlsnint tariff "reform" period of
1SD.1-D7, when vnlues of form products
and farm hind In four years shrunk
more than five billion dollars, and they
were quirk to note the changed condi
tions brought by restored protection. In
eleven years they have recouped their
losses many times over, and to-day they
are the real money magnates of the
country.
Rut the World editorial did one g. vl
thing when II brought out the follow,
ing response from a New York State
farmer:
To the Editor of the World: I am an
lndeMii(lent in politics. I helped elect
Cleveland President, but I am not yet
ready to sacrifice a known quantity, for
an unknown one. During the adminis
tration of Cleveland I wss compelled to
place my butter on the ninrket at 10 cents
a pound and my pork at li cents a pound,
without a buyer in both cases. I)o you
wonder I don't want a change? Not 1 1
If we are passing through hard times
now, with butter at 25 cents a pound and
pork at 8 cents, we farmers don't see It.
C. J. WALDRON.
Medusa. N. Y.. August 10.
If anybody is looking for a reason
why the farmers of the United States
are not going to vote for Rryan this
year, that reason can be found in this
letter of Farmer Waldron, of Medusa.
Five million farmers have equally good
reasons. American Economist.
A Vital Diltrrrnce.
Democratic papers are multiplying
wards over 'Mr. Rryon's tariff speech
In Iowa as If It contained something
new and tniortont. As a matter of
fact, it is simply a restatement of Mr.
Rryon's views as a free trader. In
Just one thing he has been consistent
as a politician. He lias been a free
trader always, and Is one now. He
evades the iiso'of the term, but will
not, ns some of the Democrats In South
west Missouri are doing, say he Is for
the protection of elnc against tls free
importation of foreign ore, but for free
trade In- everything else. If he had
THE LABOR VOTEP
the power he would destroy all protec
tlon at a stroke, mid let American
wages and industries struggle unaided
ngulnst foreign competition.
Mr. Bryan, without qualification, Is
for free trade. The Republican party
Is absolutely committed to, ami a firm
believer In, the policy of -urotct'tlon. If
Mr. Tuft Is elected the protective policy
will lie maintained by the next admin
Istrutlon, with such revision of sched
ules as It may consider necessary. If
Mr. Rryan Is elected he will at once,
assisted by a Deuiocrutle House, assail
protection all along the line, uud work
for a" change In the Senate until free
trade Is agreed to by that branch ulsu.
Mr. Rryan simply repeated himself,
with Immaterial verbal changes, In his
tariff speech at Dcs Moines. Rolled
down, there Is nothing in It but free
trade, and It Is well known that Mr.
Rryan has always liecii u radical on
this subject. Intelligent voters will
goveru themselves accordingly. St.
Louts Cilobe Deinocrut.
The Demooruts in dealing with the
tariff, as In other matters, have shown
that they nre good critics hut bad no
tors. Their platform will not declare
for free trade, but they will attack the
protection policy of the Republican par
ty with arguments which, if sound,
would Justify free trade. If entrusted
with isiwer In the executive ollice and
both branches of Congress, they would
adopt an Illogical tariff glv,l.ig liberal
protection to the Industrie of the
South and grudging or inadequate sup
port to those not represented In that
section. Tho fact Is that the party ha
no national policy and Is united only In
distrust of the purposes and policies
of the optxsdtlon. Dubuque limes.

Having tln-ppfd the free coinage of
silver, the iinnlhilntlo : i f the courts,
nnd immediate freed! in tor the Fili
pinos ns bis paramount Issues, Mr.
P-iynn will now attempt to capture thi
Pit siilency on the tariff Issue.-
The Republicans declare their adher
ence to the policy of protection, under
uic the enormous business of this
country bus lecn built up, nnd unltr
which the soplo have enjoyed n great
er degree of prosperity than the world
cvtr saw Is-fore. And they declare that
I we "true principle of protection Is best
maintained by the imposition of such
dutls ns will equnl the difference be
tween the cost of production nt horns
and abroad, together with n rensonabls
profit to Amerlciin InduHtries."
The Democrats reject the protection
principle uiterly. What they propose
Is "to restore the tnrlff to a revenue
luiix." This Is equivalent to the old
denial il fur "a tariff for revenue only."
In lejcctliig the protection principle
the 1 (niiK-rats are tit last consistent.
for It was not long ago that they for
mally declared that "protection is rob
bery." That there has been no modl
fUntloii of opinion on this question Is
clear from the action of the Committee
on Resolutions. When one of the
members suggested that the cost of
labor should be recognized In reducing
the tariff schedules he was sharply
hlclscd on the ground that his prop-
oaitloi- was "iiudoinocrntlo," and It was
witlslruwn from consideration, says a
Denver dispatch, "upon telegrophlc re
quest from Mr. Rrynn."
Humming It nil up, the Republicans
would revise the tariff to protect Amer
ican workliigmen from the competition
of poorly paid labor In Europe and
would maintain the protective principle
for the lienefit of both wage earners
and .manufacturers, while the Demo
crats would revise the tariff without
regard to the difference In the cost of
Inboi' between Europe and the United
Str.tes, and would get as- closely as
possible to a tnrlff for revenue only.
How can there be any question about
the result of the presidential campaign
when the great Issue Is so clearly de
fined ns this? Chatham (X. Y.) Re

Would Hrynn lie Hatmleaat
Some persons sny that If Rrynn wen
elected he could do no harm, for the
Republican Senate would tie his hands,
nnd the Senate Is certain to lie Repub
lican for four years more at least, re
gardless of any mutations which may
conic In the presidency or the House of
Representatives. Several Democratic
papers which op-sined Rryan not only
for the nomination, but until long af
terword, and which now give him a
hull' heurted support. Justify their ac
ceptance of his eandidoey on the theory
that the Republican Senate would make
a cipher of him if he should carry the
couutry. Those papers ought to under
stand that if Rryan could do nothing la
the presidency except draw his pay this
would lie n pretty good reason why bs
should be kept out of the presidency.
Representative Rurke of the I'llt-
burg District, however, in n sjieeeh de
livered In Salem, III., Rryau's birth
place, shows thnt this Idea of Rryau's
harinlessness Is a mistake. He iwilntB
out thnt the Executive Department of

lative. A man of fads and crankerlea.
like P.! .van, In the White House could
do much to cast discredit on the gov
eminent nnd to hunilllate the pnple.
Moreover, under the President's direc
tion the covernment now expends about
$l.(MWU',(H.i) niinnally, and this would
give hi.'ii an Influence which, In the case
of an unbalanced person like the Demo
cratic candidate, would be likely to In
flict harm on the country.
It Is a mistake to suppose that the
election of n man like Rryan would
bring no ill effects to the country. His
election would probably carry with It a
Rryanlte House of Representatives. It
would be likely to carry with it several
Rryanlte Legislatures which would
choose Rryanlte Senators. The big Re
publican majority In the Senate would
be reduced, nnd the new members
would be of the Rryanlte order. More
over, the pressure of a Rryanlte Preal'
dent and House of Representatives, re-
eiifoived by some new Senators of the
siiine stripe, would be likely to weaken
the Republican Hue In some sisits, for
a Rryan victory could easily be made
to appear to be a popular mandate for
reckless legislation. Ry denth or resign
nation tour places on the Supreme
bench are likely to be vacated during
the term of the President who will takij
ollice next March. How would tho sane,
conservative people of the country like
to see Rryan get the power to fill these
places? The only way to keep liryun
harmless Is to roll up a bigger majority

American Boundary.
"pnlelo rorreponnVnrf :
With flags flying, bands playing,
crowds cheering, and a bright sky over
head, veterans of the Grand Army of
the Republic inarched through the
stieets of an eciiiiiiment city for the
forty-second time Wednesday after
noon At tile official reviewing stand,
where stood William H. Toft, Governor
Hairls, Senator Forakei and Mayor
Rrand Whltlock, the colors weredlpped,
and the department commanders Joined
Codinuaudcr-ln Chief Rurton In the
stand. The parade being the leading
feature of the encampment, many timed
their arrival for the event, and the
ciowd of visitors was augmented by
thousands during Tuesday night.
It Is estimated that, including the
veterans and their wives, there were
l."A(Ki() visitors In the city. Excursion
trains brought them by hundreds from
cities of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan, and they poured In from the
rural districts on the Interurban lines.
It wos well toward 11 o'clock when
the van of the parade marched past
the reviewing stand, where they, were
saluted with a bombardment of flowers,
for which surprise the women of To
ledo hnd been preparing for several
days. They emerged from the floral
shower to be greeted by on Immense
humnnMlng, made up of nearly 3,000
children, who. in their dresses of red,
white and blue, swayed their bodies so
thnt the emblem seemed to sway as in
a breeze.
Harrlaon Proaerved nonndary.
Two events of the G. A. R. encamp
ment Tuosdoy were the dedication of
the Fort Meigs monument " and the
civic parade. In the latter 3.000 mem
bers of locnl organizations morched
with bands playing nnd banners flying.
While the veterans, whose parade was
to take place Wednesday, looked on.
It was at Fort Meigs that General
William Henry Ha-rlson checked the
Rrltish advances under Froctor after
the general had profited by General
Hull's surrender nt Detroit. With citi-
een soldiery gathered from Ohio, Ken
tucky. Pennsylvania nnd Virginia, Gen
eral Harrison succeeded in preserving
the American boundary as It now ex
ists. In those days Toledo was a mere
collection of huts, which served os
headquarters for French furriers' and
traders trnvellng from Montreal and
Quebec to Cincinnati and New Orleans.
Not many years ago the groves of the
heroes of Fort Meigs loy unmarked. A
church stands where there was former
ly a Rrltish battery.
Teats An Discarded.
The forty-second encampment will,
veterans declare, go down in history
with a most laudatory chapter devoted
to a committee which abandoned the
traditional tents and domiciled the old
soldiers under real roofs and on real'
beds. The veterans In Toledo ran no
risk of colds and rheumatism from
sleeping on the straw strewn ground or
from dew soaked canvas.
There was something in the tents of
former reunions which ap-iealed to the
Imagination of the veterans nnd stirred
their memories of wnr days, but many
of them paid for It with pneumonia
and rheumatism, nnd they were un
stinted In their praise of the arrange
ment this year.

Lateat Telephone Marvel.
A German inventor, GiistavUrzanna,
has been astounding Ixindon with demon
strations of his device for sending hand
writing simultaneously with the voice
over an ordinary wire for considerable
distances. He uses a low tension current
of twelve volts and his apparatus can be
made an auxiliary to any telephone. Aside
from its sentimental value, this invention
is expected to prove of great importance
commercially. Thus, an engineer, in or
dering parts for a structure in a hurry,
can send along a diagram. A newspaper
reporter can send his account at the same
time that an artist over the same 'wire
is sending a sketch of the scdnc. This
marvel is accomplished by means of a
light ray passing over a sensitized paper,
the transmitter using a lead pencil with
two electrical contacts, one for horizontal
and the other for vertical lines. As soon
as the pencil is lifted a bulb glows and
its ray is so reflected on tiny mirrors in
the receiving box as to reproduce the
movements of the point on a spool of pre
pared paper. When the message or pic
ture is finished the paper is automatically
run through a bath so as to develop the
photographed lines. In ten seconds the
writing is visible. At the same time an
other film is placed in position to receive
another message. '
