Iowa hns been selected for the prcscn tutlon of whut I desire to any upon this miujcct, becauso the Iowa Ilppubllcnni wyro nlonecra In tho effort to secure tar iff revision at tho hands of tho lteputill rnn parly. I come anions; them to do llnn and defend tho Democratic position on tho tariff question, Itecuuso I bHlevo It will commend Itself to them. That the laauo may bo clearly ststed, I jiliall rend you tho Democratic plank on this uub jcet. nnd then ttie Republican plank: The Democratic plntform Bays: "Wo welcome the belated promise of tariff reform now offered by tho Republi can party as a tardy reeoRnltlon of tho righteousness of the Democratic position on this question; tint tho peoplo cannot safely entrust tho execution of this Im portant work to a party which Is so deep ly obligated to the hlRhly protected In terest as Is tho Republican party. We call attention to the slnlflcant fact that tho promised relief was postponed until after the coming election an election to succeed In which the Republican party must have tlio samn support from tho beneflclnrles of tho hlRli protective tariff as It has always heretofore received from them, nnd to the further fact that durlns yeuis of uninterrupted power, no action whatever has been taken by the Republi can consrens to correct tho admittedly exIMliiR tariff Inlnnlttcs. "Wo favor Immedlato revision of the tariff by tho reduction of Import duties. Articles entering Into competition wtlh trust-controlled products should be placed upon tho freo list; material reductions nliould bo mado In the tariff upon the necessities or life, especially upon articles compiling with such American manu factures as arc sold abroad moro cheap ly than nt home; and gradual reductions should bo mode In such other schedules os may bo necessary to resloro tho tariff to a revenue basis. "Existing duties havo given tho manu facturers of paper a shelter behind wincn they have organized combinations to raise tho prlco of pulp anil paper, thus Impos ing a tax upon tho spread of knowledge. "Wo demand the Immedlato repeal of tho tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lum ber, timber anil logs, and that these ar ticles bo placed upon the free list." Republican Platform. Tho Republican platform says: "The Republican party declares un equivocally for a revision of tho tariff bv a special session of congress Immedi ately following tho inauguration of the next president nnd commends the steps already taken to this end In the work as signed to tho appropriate committees of congress, which aro now Investigating tho operation nsid effect of existing schedules. In oil tariff legislation tho true principle of protection Is best maintained by the Imposition of such duties as will equat the difference between tho cost of pro duction nt homo and abroad, together with a reasonable profit to American In dustries. "Wo favor tho establishment of .maxi mum and minimum rates to bo admin istered by tho president undur limitations fixed In tho law, tho maximum to bo BAullablo to meet discriminations by for eign countries against American goods entering their markets and tho minimum to represent tho normal measure of pro tection at homo; tlio aim nno. purposo oi the Republican policy being not only to preserve, without nxcesslvo duties, that security anglnst foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers aro entitled, but also to maintain tho high standard of living of the wage earners of this country, who are the most direct beneficiaries of the protective system. "Retween tho United States and the Philippines, wo bellovo In a free Inter change of products, with such limitations as to sugar nnd tobacco as will afford ndequata protection to domestic Inter eats." Aro wo not Justified In Baying that "the people cannot safely entrust the execu tion of this Importnnt work to a party which Is bo deeply obligated to the high ly protected Interests as Is tho Republi can party?" Tho "fat frying" process has become familiar to tho American peo plo. rressuro has beon brought to bear upon tho protected Invests overy four yeors and to a less extent In the con gressional campaigns between presiden tial elections to compel contributions to the campaign fund In return for former favors nnd In anticipation of favors yot to come. It Is difficult to ovcrestlmnto the corrupting Influences Introduced Into tho polltlcnl llfo of tho nation by this partnership between tho government and the favored Industries, . . . Those who nro acquainted with thn turlff fight know to what an extent tho pecuniary argu ment has been used. Tho recent Republi can platform Is rt bugle call to every beneficiary of spoclnl privilege, to enlist again under the Republican banner, nnd when tho election Is over and tho Repub lican committee publishes tho list of con tributorstoo lato to inako the Informa tion valuable-It will bo found that tho Republican party has again so obligated Itself to tho protected Interests as to bo utmblo to mako a revision In tho Inter ests of tho consumers. Republican "Revision" Impooslble. Ilut lot us suppose, for tho sake of ar gument, that tho Republican party sin coroly repents of Its delay In beginning tariff reform, repudiates Its obligations to tho contributing manufacturers and honestly boglns a "revision," What rulo Is to govern tlin revision? Tho Republi can platform says: "In all tariff leglslotlon. tho true prln clp'.o of protection Is best mnlntalncd by tho Imposition of such duties os will equal tho difference between the cost of production at homo and abroad, tosethcr with n reasonable profit to Amorlcun Industries," BRYAN OUTLINES DE MO IS Mr. Taft Indorses this rulo and says that "In i number of schedules tho tariff now exceeds this difference, nnd that tho excess offers a temptation to those who would monopolize the production and sale of such articles In this country." Ito adds, however, that "there aro some few articles on which tho tariff Is not suffi ciently high to give them tho mcasur of protection they should receive " Will li explain upon what rule th present tariff was framed? When hno tho Republicans claimed more protection than enough to cover tho dlffcronco In tho cost of production here nnd nbrond? Tho "reasonable profit to American In dustries" la nn addition to the rule, nnd Is likely to be used as an excuse, for raising tho tariff. Anil, bv the way, to what other business does the government uariintpe n "reasonable profit''" To th 'srmer, or tho merchant or the laborer? r none of these if In revising the tariff Mo Republican parly Is to work upon exactly tho same plan (or n plan con templating a higher ratM what horo havo wo that the new tnrlff will be lower than tho present one' Aro the present leaders moro honest thnn tho ones who framed tho existing tariff? Aro they not. In fact, tho same men who nro respon sible for tariff extortion during the last decade? If this new-born teal for re vision were nn hundred times gi eater than his notification speech Indicates, what chance would the Republican rnndl dlrlnto havo of securing any real tariff reform nt the hands of such Republicans as now lepresent that party In tho sen nto nnd house, the ery men who rep-res-ntcd It In the recent national con vention? Hpo-iker f'linnon. who ban sup pressed tariff legislation In the present congress, was u domlmi'lng factor In tho convention nnd, If the Republicans retain control of the house, will be the ppe-iker of tho next copirreps Does his promi nence afford tariff reformers nnv nsnitr nnre of a reduction of tho tariff In tho Interest of tho consumers" In case of u Republican victory, Congressman Sher man will become the presiding otlleer of the senate. He Ins been the confidential companion of Fpeaker Cannon, nnd In the convention It was Speaker Cannon who vouched for him. Meant for Deception. The Republican platform suggests that there should bo a msxltuum tnrlff nnd n minimum, tho maximum to bo used In retaliation and tho minimum In ordinary cases. This Is merely nddlng delusion to procrnsthmtlon and uncertainty. It Is strange that so many voters have beon so long deceived as to the oblect nnd the operation of the laws which nro ostensibly designed for the protection of the wage earners: It can only be account ed for on tho theory that the voters havo not understood either tho theory of protection or the fncts that arc relied upon to support It. No Republican leader will now deny Hint reductions ought to be made, but who Is to mako the reductions? The only answer given by tho Republicans Is that tho tariff ought to bo reformed by Its friends: that Is, that those who made tho last tariff should be Intrusted with tho making of a new tariff law Rut sup pose tho people adopt tho Republican Idea nnd Intrust the making of the tnrlff law to Republican congressmen; what will bo tho method of procedure? It Is a enso of confidence. The voters have confidence In Republican lenders; tho loaders havo confidence In n Republi can congress; a Republican congiess hns confidence In tho ways nnd mentis com mittee: the ways nnd means committee hns confidence In tho men who represent tho trusts, and the trustn write tho tar iff law and thus secure to themselves tho right to levy tribute upon tho public. Wo would not expect n Jury to do Jus tice to tho defendant If It was composed entirely of tho relatives of tho plaintiff. neither can wo expect n congress to do Justice to the musses If It Is composed of men who are In sympathy with, nnd ob ligated to, tho corporations which have for n generation been enjoying special privileges. Thoro Is nn prospect of relief from n Republican president and congress. The Democratic party, If Intrusted with pow er, can and will reduce the tariff. What woulil bo tho effect of tho remedy proposed by tho Democratic platform? Simply this: A law goes Into effect nt some fixed date In tho future, nnd If tho Democrat r pass a law, putting upon tho free list articles coming Into competition with thoso controlled by a trust, thn trust will have until that date to dissolve. If the trust considers the law too drnstle. It can avoid It by giving up Its monop oly. Remedlet for Trust Evl. Secretary Taft calls this remedy "ut terly destructive" nnd In his anklety to prevent It overlooks tho fact that the Democrntlc pnrty has other remedies for tho trusts. If wo can succeed In dissolv ing existing trusts, nnd In preventing the organization of new ones, there will be no trusts ngalnst which to uso the reme dy or which ho complains. There Is now 4 law ngalnst tniBts. but It has not been sufficiently enforced to provent trusts. Tho Democrats demand Its enforcement: If Its enforcement rids the country of trusts, then this policy which Mr. Tart so much fears will become perfectly harmless. If tho Democrats secure con trol of both tho hnuso and tho senate, they nro pledged to legislation which will mnko n private monopoly Impossible. If the Republicans retain control of part of tho legislative machinery of the gov ernment and refuri to Join In the effort to mako a private monopoly Impossible, they ure not In n position to complain of tariff legislation aimed at trusts. How long will the Republican farmers, merchants and laboring men permit n row men to mako the tnrlff laws for their own pecuniary advantage and nt the ex pense of the rest of the country? Tho second step In tho reduction of the tariff Is u "material reduction upon the necessities of life, especially upon goods competing with such American manufac tured as aro sold abroad moro cheaply than nt homo." At present the articles used by the poor bear a higher rate, ad vulorem, than the articles used by the rich. This statement can bo verified by an examination of any of tho schedules. A tax upon consumption, even when laid with ab-pluto Impartiality, bears heaviest upon tho poor, because our necessities nro much moro uniform thnn our posses sions, It Is only fair, therefore, that In an nttempt to rellnvo the people fiom tho iniquities of a high turlff, thn poor, who nro over burdened, should bo given first consideration. Then, too, n reduction In tho tariff on tho necessities of llfo brings n bonoftt to nil tho people, whllo a reduction In tho tax upon luxuries would benefit but u portion of tho peoplo. To Intimidate Voters. Surely no one will object to n reduc tion being made upon articles which como Into competition with American manu factures which nro sold abroad moro cheaply than at home, Tho American manufacturer who sends hl:i goods to for eign lands and there, without uuy pro tection whatever, competes successfully with tho manufuetutern of all tho world, dr.os not need a high tailff to meet com petition In tho homo market. And there nro enough articles sold abroad ut a low prlcu to ussuro u largo advantugo to tho American consumers through the carry ing out of this ono plank. Tho Now York Leather Reltlng Com pany has sent out a number of letters to companies with which It has business dealings, usktng them to post In thr factorial n notlco saying: "Relieving that the. election of Tnft and Shermnn means a safe and conservative administration, tho day following tho election wo shall start this plant on full time and keep going." Hero la a direct attempt to Influence election by a bribe. It Is virtually a promise of wages If tho Republican tlc. et Is successful and an Implied threat In ense of Democrntlc success, but tho offer Ij no made that It gives tho employes no guaranty of its fultlllment. The snma kind of promises were made In 1S90, and et for six months after tho election times were worse thsn thoy wero before. If any factory posts up the sign which tho Leather Ueltlne Company Is sending out. the employes ought to get together nnd nsk for a guaranty ns to tho amount of thn wages they are to rocolvo nnd to the Ungth of time during which tti K'iaranty Is to extend.

CommcntliiR on tho thrco jianlcn thnt havo anitctcd tho country nlnco tho birth of tho Republican imrty thoso of 1873, of 1893. and of 1907 Mr. Ilryan denied that tho Democratic party mlRht truthfully ho charged, with responsibility for tholr occurrence, llo continued: Kur ". years the American working man hns been told that ho receives high er uageH than tho nngltsh workman solely because of piotectlon, but our wage eat ncrs now know that this enn not be duo to protection, because tho Hngllsh wotkman receives higher wnges than the (teruiau workman, although tho rtermait tariff Is higher than tho tariff of limit Rrltaln I'rolectlon does not mnko good wngos. Our better wages me due to the greater Intelligence uud skill of our workmen, to the greater hope which free Institutions glvo them, to Improved machinery, to thn better conditions that sut round them, and to the organizations which have been formed ntnong the wago earners. A revenuti tariff will not bring n panic: It will not Inaugurate Industrial depres sion; It will not rcducn wages; on the con trary, It will stimulate business nnd glvo more employment, nnd a larger demand for lubor will be n guaranty ngalnst the reduction of wages. A reduction of tho tariff will reduce the extortion that Is now practiced beenuso of the high sched ules; a reduction In p'rlco will enable more peoplo to buy, nnd this larger de mand for the goods will put more pooplo to work and Increase the number of In dustries, A lower price will greatly stim ulate exportation, nnd manufacturers who are now crippled by a tariff upon what they uso will be better prepared to en ter tho contest for uupreinucy In tho world's trade, The Democratic plan does not con template uu linmedlute change from ono system to the other. It nxprensly declares thnt the change shrill bo gradual, and a, gradual change Is only possible where tho country Is mtlslled with tho results of each step taken. Wo e'ect a congress every two ears nnd a president every four yenrs, and the people can soon stop any policy If the results of that policy mo not satisfactory. Income Tax Upheld. The Dcmociatlc party has declared for on InconiH tax us u part of the rnvcnuo system, and for a constitutional amend ment an a mentis of securing thin tnx. Secretary Tnft announces tu his notifi cation speech thut he Is In favor of an Income tnx whenever the revenues are so low as to require It. and expressed bin be lief that It Is posrlble to secure such n, tnx without it constitutional amendment. If It is posslblo to frame n law which will avoid tho objections rulsed to tho income tux law of 1MM, well and good, but that Is Uncertain. If nn Income tax Is desirable, surely Secretary Tnft cannot consistent ly oppjM the ndoptlou of n ronstltul-'M-al amendment. If the principle Is tight and the tux wise, congress oirght to havo nuthotlty to levy nnd collect such a lax, nnd no supporter of Secretary Taft can oppose our position without dissenting from the Republican candidate, The whole aim of our party Is to secure Justice In luxation. We believe that each Individual should contribute to tho sup port of the government In proportion to the benefits which be receives under tho protection of the government. We bellevo that n revenuo tnrlff, nppronehed gradually, according to the plan laid down In our platform, will equnllic the burdens of tax ation, nnd that the addition of an Incotnn tax will mako taxation still moro equit able. If the Republican party Is to havo the Ktipport or those who find n pecuniary profit In the exercise or thn taxing power, ns a private asset In their business, i.o ought to hue the support of that larga mnjorlty of the people who produce tho natlou'h wealth In time of peuce, protect the nntlon'u'llug In time of war, and ask for nothing from tho government but even-handed Justice. For Overwrought Nerves. There is a little treatment that hardly deserves the namo of bathing, ns It consists merely of putting a fowr drops of pure alcohol on tlo wrlsls, over the pulso, nnd on tho tcmpIeB and throat where tho tired nerves oftonent got to throbbing. As for tho tlmo it takes to do all these things, that can be more than saved by curing oneself of the hnblt of sleeping Into In the morning. You can seldom sleep with even tho dawning light in your eyes. It is but n half sleep at host, and brings fatiguing dreams. If you wake up too early, and still do not feel qulto rested, get up with a promlso to yourself that you can Ink- a beauty nap this rest hour later on. Ilut even so.
