The Republican pnrty has Just cnue
to be proud of its pension record. With
the nid of patriotic men from other
parties It waged to a successful con
clusion, the greutcst war of modern
times.
It lias never censed to honor the
officers and men who composed the
victorious army. livery Republican
President elected since tho close of
that war hud boon a conspicuous olli
cvr of the Federal army, with tho ex
ception of President Roosevelt, whoso
brilliant record lu the Spanish wnr Is
a mntter of Just pride to the American
people.

The Act of Juno 27, lS'JO, Is a fitting
llluHtrntlou of the generosity of the
Republican party toward the veterans
of the Civil War, This law was passed
by a llcpuhllcan Congress, was signed
by a Republican President, and through
Its ailuilnlKtratlon there was expended
during tht next fiscal year a total
amount of $iS,7!S,Si0.71. The number
of soldiers receiving tho benefit of this
act amounted to 413,721, while the num
ber of tho dependents relieved by 'this
Act was 17l,''r.!. Tho gain In tho num

gain from June 30, 1800, to January 5,
1004, wiih 4,'.m.
The Kepubllcan party passed tho Act
of April 10, 1008, increasing pensions
of all widows from $8 to $12 per month
and granting pensions without refer

Increasing tho pensions for widows
from eight to twelve dollnrs jer month
was opposed by the Democrats. Tho
Amputation mil passed August 4, 1800,
was opposed by the Democrats aud vot

fought bitterly by tho Democrats.
In the Forty-third Congress a De

It solidly and the Democrats opposing
It by a two-thirds vote. In the IIouso
this bill was voted for solidly by Re
publicans and opposed by a majority
of tho DeiuiKTitts. After it had passed

effort was made In the House to pass

promises. Through lis legislation there
has been disbursed In tho payment of

to June 30, 1008, $:!..VS3,503,023.05, and
there were on the pension rolls on tho

All the civilized nations of the earth
combined have not equaled the United
States In Morality In granting pensions,
bounties, homesteads and land war
rants, providing homes, etc., for war
veterans. The appropriation for the
present fiscal year, for paying pensions,
Is $102,(100,000.00 -more than one-fifth
of the entire revenue of the govern
ment. No man who wns not old enough to
le a factor In that great struggle could
give his heart and soul more completely
to the welfare and welldoing of the vet
erans who fought for liberty and right
In the days of '01 to 'Go, than Mr. Taft
lie is the recognized and distinguished
friend of the old soldier and is pledged
to carry out Republican policy In a
generous manner towards the Grand
Army of tho Republic. He has never
been too busy to sec the veteran and
listen with sympathetic Interest to his
Just demand:. Taft, as President, will

BRYAN AND TILLMAN.
Hold Identical Viaws on the Ques
tion of Negro Disfranchisement.
On the question of negt--r disfran
chisement Rrynn; of Nebraska, and Till
man of South Carolina, stand shoulder

attitude, lu the following language:
"The white man In the south has dis
franchised the negro In self-protection.
The white men of tho south are de
termined that the negro shall be dis
franchised everywhere if necessary to
prevent, tho recurrence of the horrors
of carpetbag rule."
Senator Tillman has spoken even
more frankly, as witness tho following:
"We stuffed ballot boxes nnd we shot
negroes. We are not ashamed of it."
In the south Mr. Bryan poses as the
special friend of tho negroes and as
sures llioni that his election as presi
dent will bo greatly to their advantage.
Senator Tillman also Insists that he Is
their best frleud. Roth of these emi

It Is not beyond the range of possi

The performances of the Republican
party may well be contrasted with the
obstructive tactics of the party of slav
ery, State rights, secession, antl-expan-slon,
free silver, free trade, government
owners-Ill p of railroads, aud numerous
other foolish and impossible mukesbift
expediences. From tho immortal Lin
coln to.the renowned Tuft, there is one
long ll'no of brilliant achievements to
the credit of the Republican pnrty.
Foremost among these many victories
will forever stand the abolition of
human slavery. Lincoln gave his life
that four millions of human beings
might be set free. He washed the stain
of human slavery forever from the
Btas and stripes. Tho Republican par
ty saved the Union and made this a
free republic forever.
Thirty-seven years later tho cry of
tho oppressed went up from Cuba ; her
people had been ground Into the dust
for four centuries by Spanish greed and
oppression. Another Republican Presi
dent, another American martyr, came
to the rescue of the Queen of the An
tilles, and William McWInley, acting for
the Kepubllcan party, freed Cuba and
put her feet upon the solid rock of
H-nce and hope. Invincible lu war. tho

OUT OF A JOB.
PATRIOTISM.
Bryan Opposed to Giving Nebraska
Volunteers Praise.
It has been charged in the Capital
that on the subject of pensions Col.
William J. Bryan was not patriotic
while a member of congress. The
friends of the colonel dispute the state
ment. But there is another record.
Kvery one remembers the great career
of the First Nebraska volunteers in the
Philippine Islands. That regiment
made u reputation which thrilled the
country.
The Nebraska legislature in 1809
adopted the following Joint resolution:
"lie It resolved by the legislature of
the State of Nebraska, That the thanks
of tho State be hereby extended to the
olllccrs and men of tho First Nebraska
regiment of the United States volun
teers for their gallant conduct on the
field of bnftl'e. their courage In the
presence of danger and their fortitude
in tho hardships of camp nnd cam
paign. "Resolved, That we acknowledge with
gratitude aud Joy the debt the State
owes them by reason of the honors con
ferred, upon it by their valor while de
fending in the far-off Philippines tho
principles of our government and add
ing new glory to our flog. We pledge
the honor of tho State that to the liv
ing shall be accordr'iK worthy distinc
tion, and to tho dead Jnll that can be
given to the dead ff ng memorial
The gotefilor ' Hi i iflska at "tliTt
time was a Democrat he vetoed thjs
resolution, and lateryit was cbarg'M
that this was done on the advice of
Mr. Bryan. On tho ad of May, ISO!),
in nn open letter to the editor of, the
State Journal, published in Lincoln, Mr.
Bryan denied that Governor Poynter
discussed the question with lit in prior
to tho publication of the veto. He
said ;
"I knew nothing of the passage of
the resolution until I read the veto
message in tho newspapers. I approve
of the governor's action, however, and
believe that ho did right In thwarting
a partisan attempt to make political
capital out of the bravery of Nebraska
soldiers."
We call the attention of Captain
Clark and other veterans of the civil
war to this partisan action on the part
of Colonel Bryan.
In no State In the union, except Ne
braska, could such 'a veto and such a
letter have appeared. And It could not
have occurred -in Nebraska except for
the partisan leadership of Colonel
Bryan.
Looking on tho matter ns history that
Is made and canuot be undone, one can
not realize that the governor of Ne
braska would take the action which he
did, nor can it bo realized that Colonel
Bryan would approve it Des Moines

When he said, "Down w'Ui Trusts that

Ills Past remarked unfeelingly. "They're

When be said. "I have never sought

His Past observed, "Except, of course,

"I stand upon my record," often Bryan

Statistics Compiled by President t
Bookbinders' Un on Prove the
' Assertion.
Striking Contrast Between the Deedr
of the Republican Lawmakers
and the Democratic Leg
islators. One of ths irnes in evety eanvpaljnn
is fliat of labor legislation. All parties
claim to be the friend of labor, and it is
but natural that this would bring eut
the facts.
This year th Democratic party is do
ing more claiming tbnn ever before alone;
this line, and Miis has led James Fecney,
president of Washington Union No. 4,
International Brotherhood of Bookbind
ers, to compile some statistics which,
spenk for themselves. Mr. Fceney is oua
of the best known and most highly re
IHeted labor leaders in the national cap
ital, nnd his word is always acceptor
with those who know him.
Mnnjr Iteeurda Taken.
Mr. Feeney has taken the records of
the various states for the purpose of find
ing out whnt laws have been passed and
by what party tliey were enacted. He bus
taken ten laws, including those creating
labor bureaus, public employment agen
cies, state boards of arbitration; tilsov
eight-hour laws, child lnbor laws (mini
mum age), child labor laws (night work),
women's labor laws, seats for shop girle
laws, nnii-sweat shop laws and laws for
protection of unions.
In every one of these laws bli lubor
union ha furnished the incentive for th
passnge, it being the most vitally inter
ested. Majority la Itepnltllcaa.
Mr. Feeney shows tliot in the cas at
eui'h law the great majority of the state.
which have passed them are Republican.
This is true to a remarkable degree.
For instance, la the case of the eight
hour law. eighteen slates have them, six
teen being Republican states and twa

Another instance is in the case of laws
protecting labor unions, there being such,
laws in fifteen states, fourteen of which

Seeklnif to .Minima Labor.
From the very beginning ot the cam
paign there has been a concerted Demo
cratic effort to misrepresent Judge Tuft
on questions pertaining to labor inter
ests. His Judicial decisions have been,
distorted, and falsehoods Invented.
In his canvass of the West Judge
Taft has devoted considerable attention
to this subject with good effect. He
has not been apologetic, for there I
nothing in his record Unit needs apol
ogy. He has not beeu on the defensive
because no one on the bench who does
only what the law requires him to do
mods defense. He bus made clear his
position made it clear that it was
helpful ond uot hurtful to labor and
turned buck falsehood and misrepre
sentation. It is one of the many illusions of Mr.
Bryan that lie is the special and only
champion of bibor. What has he ever
done for It? When In Congress he
helped to frame n tariff bill which kept
hundreds of thousands of people out of
employment until a Republican admin
istration was elected and a Republican,
tariff act w?s passed. fie could not
at that time have hit labor a more par
alyzing blow. Philadelphia Press.
An I'prlvlit Judate.
The attempt to make the Republican
candidate out the enemy ot labor fails
In the light f the facts. Judge Tuft
has demonstrated that as a Judgo he
dld what the law required bliu to do.,
and if he had done otherwise he would
have been entitled to no resiect Prom
the labor or any other Interests. Some
