tribute to
\ Mr.Taft J
brw *
I feel that the country i» indeed to be congratulated upon the
nomination of Mr. Taft. I have known him intimately for many years
and I have a peculiar feeling for him, because throughout that time
he worked for the same object, with the same purposes and ideals.
I do not believe there could be found in all the country a man
so well fitted to be President.
He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and up
right. but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation’s needs, with
out and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens.
He would be as emphatically a President of the plain people as
Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would be freer from the least taint
of demagogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of
any kind.
He has a peculiar and Intimate knowledge of and sympathy with
the needs of all our people—of the farmer, of the wage earner, of the
business man, of the property owner.
No matter what a man’s occupation or social position, no matter
what his creed, his color, or the section of the country from which he
comes, if he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty
toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that
he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the
most fearless of champions.
Mr. Taft stands agninst privileges and lie stands pre-eminently for
the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda
tion of our national well being.
BOUTELL ON BRYAN.
Is His “Shall the People RuleP” ,
Simply “ft Local IssueP”
Congressman llenry Sherman Uou- j
tell of Chicago, commenting oil Mr. I
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
Mr. Bryan's question, "Shall the pen
pie rule?" implies that somewhere in
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do |
not rule are the gtates that arc cx
IKM'ted to give ovecwhclining majorities
for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps'
Mr. Brvuu thinks that his question la I
purely “a local Issue.” If he Is sin
cere, 1 challenge him to make a speech >
In Vicksburg, Mass., on "Government
by the People." Let him repeat one of
Jds famous anti-imperialist speeches,
tilmply changing three words, substitut
lng "Mississippi" for "Philippines" and
"black brothers" for “brown brothers.''
Let him suggest that wo have as chair
mail of his iniHitlng John Sharp Wil
liams, leader of the Democrats In Con
gress, and as vice-chairmen the other
members of the Congressional deloga- I
tlon from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech |
In Vicksburg, If he shall have escaped
the rule of the people In that com
munity, I dare Mr. Bryan to repeat
his oration on popular government in
charleston, S. with Senator Till
man as chairman of his meeting. S.r.
Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo
graphical sincerity Ills epigrams and
staining conundrums are esiicclally de
signed to meet local demands. Of this
nature are all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr. Bryan's proposition that every
time a trust is formed a tariff schod
ule should Is* repealed, and every time
a trust is dissolved a new duty should
he added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
If on March -t next Mr. Bryan should i
become President, with a Democratic!
Congress In both houses, and should '
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries dc
livered by him In his speech of last
Friday, it would plunge the nation Into
bankruptcy and bring on industrial
chaos. If he should begin by repealing
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
finances by losing $(iO.OOtl,(KK) a year
in revenues, and would stir up a revo
lution In Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, if he should re
peal the duty on cotton goods, because
some hustling manufacturers of New
England or the Carolinas were dump
ing goods In China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
Invite still further Industrial ruin.
But. of course, Mr. Bryan would do
none of these things, any more than
he will Invade the solid South and sum
mon the cohorts of Demooruey to the
defence of the Constitution with the
battle cry “Shull the People Rule?”
Mr. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What he utters with Chad
baudian unction in the North he repudi
ates with Pecksnimau duplicity in the
South.
II iin! it cm h Men lloneat.
The business men of our community
as a'whole arc honest ami their meth
ods are sound. The President has
never said otherwise. Indeed, it is
chiefly in the interest of the great body
N of honest business men that he has
made his fight for lawful business
methods.—Hon. Wm. H. Taft, to Mer
chants and Manufacturers' Assoeiaticn,
Boston. Muss.
Gratitude to McKinley.
The highest claim of William Mc
Kinley for the gratitude of his coun
trymen is that, in spile of the abuse
and contumely that was heaped upon
■his head for this policy, he placed ouv
country in the forefront of nations as
n eiviliier and uplifter of unfortunate
rcopies.—Hon. Wm. TT. Taft, at Cleve
land. Ohio.
ENEMY OF TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From tUo Labor World.)
Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief lMat, If Mr. Bryan shall he elect
ed President, his plans for revision of
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr. Bryan Is the professed
enemy of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, ir at all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what lie chooses to call trust-made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in Import duties
arising from revised schedules in* esti
mates would he more than made up by
Increased Imports. Of course, his hope
is to strike at tin* great protection
States, w hich happen to tic Republican
In politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Vlr
glnln, etc. II docs not seem to matter
to him that every dollar’s worth of for
eign goods In tlie competitive class com
ing Into tlie Fulled States on a revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for liomti
goods, thus displacing just; that much !
American labor. W'lmt he wants to do j
is to rebuke and avenge himself upon j
protected manufacturers who do not i
agree woth him in politics and who will i
have none of him at the polls, says an |
exchange.
But while Mr. Bryan is gunning for |
protected industries and Republican
States, once liis proposed tariff law
should he in force it would fall alike
upon all sections of the country, the
only differences between one State nnd
another being in jtlie degree of hardship
Imposed.
We hear of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr.
Bryan, .because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is a tariff for
revenue, ignoring the protection Idea
altogether, going to open the shops nnd
mills? How will the election of Sena
tors by direct vote start the wheels of
Industry? Or the publication of cam
paign contributions? Or the further
harassment of the railroads? Or the
reorgalit7.atton of the House, so that
the Speaker may tu* powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
of the world when we have not sutH
eient demand to consume what we our
selves manufacture? Under Republi
can rule we have Just had ten years of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for tiny period, long or
short.
Can’t Disaffect the Farmers.
The failure of Bryan’s desperate at
tempts to curry favor with the farmers
Is Illustrated by the manner In which
he was received at Crookston, Minn.
According to Congressman Ilalvor Stev
enson the event went off as follows:
“Bryan's speech at Crookston was a
great disappointment. He actually lost
ground there for Democracy. Thous
ands of people were there to hear him,
and waited till ten o'cb>ck In the even
ing before lie appeared. The address
was a narrow appeal to farmers, a
harangue, trying to prejudice them
against Republicanism. It didn’t take
at all. Only once was there the slight
est symptom of applause. He spoke to
a silent, disappointed audience.”
rninpaiKii of Education.
In the great battle of 1S!X> the Re
publican party again stood for the
maintenance gf the integrity of the na
tion. The light was against odds pro
duced by a great industrial depression,
and against the most sophistical argu
ments. The Republican party main
tained a campaign of education among
the wage-earners and the farmers,
which ultimately led to the complete
defeat of this second financial heresy
which has threatened the integrity of
our business structure.—Hon. Wm. II.
Taft, at Kansas City, Mo.
