Governor Haskell's utter unfit ness for any public position of trust or for association with any man anxious to make an appeal on a moral Issue to the American people has been abundantly shown. As an American citizen who prizes Ills Americanism and citl zrnsl ip far nbove any question of partisanship. I regard It as n scandal and disgrace that Gov ernor Haskell should bo connect ed with the management of a na tional campaign. To llryan. Ill my Judgment the measures you advocate would be wholly In effective In curing an evil, and so far as they had any effect at all would merely throw the entire business of the country into hope less and utter confusion. I put Mr. Taft's deeds against your words. I ask that Mr. Taft lie judged by all his deeds, for he wishes none of them forgotten. I ask that you be judged both by the words you wish remembered and by the words that seemingly you and your party now desire to have forgotten. BRYAN’S SPECIOUS RECORD. Jude* Tuft I’ulnlv Out the Weak S imii m In the % ebraikan'i I’ollt Iral History. (From Taft’s Cincinnati Speech.) "What Is It that we have to expect from Mr. Bryan? Have we anything to expect but what he promises? Have we unythtng to expect but what Is based upon his eloquence and his adroitness as u public critic? Has he ever given any practical demonstration of his ability to meet problems and solve them? Has lie ever done any thing but formulate propositions in his closet of an utterly impracticable plausibility, and very little with a view 01 their operation? ‘By their fruits we shull know them.’ GROWTH OF WEALTH PER CAPITA. Doctrine tlint the Poor Are Growing Poorer Shown to He Falar. (From the Los Angeles Times.) In 1820 the savings banks of the United States held $1,138,576. This was u poor country then compared with now. The amount was only mi average of 12 cents for the population of that time. That amount of average economy was very small. Now the people of this country have $3,600,878,015 in savings banks. This is an average for the whole population of this time of over $42. The actua' depositors have an average of $120 to their credit. In 1820 only S.li.'!." per sons ia the country were rich enough to have a savings bank account. Now there are 8,588,811. When James Buchanan, the last Democratic President in a long line, went Into office, there was about $100, 000,000 in the savings hanks of the United Stales. By 1870, after lighting out ilie grea* war, the people, undci Republican rule for twenty years, Lad $55(1.000,000 in the savings banka. When the next Democratic President took his seat In 1883, tkp savings of the people had passed the billion point. By 1808 the savings had doubled again. So there it Is. In 1820 there were only nbout 8,000 people rich enough to have a snvlngs bank account. Now there are over 8.000.000. In 1820 the savings were 12 cents per capita ; now they are over $42. That the poor grow poorer and the rich richer in this country is as true a» any other Populistic notion. “With the record of promises and prophecies unfulfilled for a period of twelve years; with this record of a limit for an Issue upon which to achieve the presidency; with this rec ord of repudiation, of negotiation and of running away from national respon sibilities, Mr. Bryan comes forward and asks that the people now give him an opportunity to put Into operation new reforms in respect to trusts and in respect to guaranty of hank depos its. wholly untried, wholly theoretical, and oil their face bearing evidence of their impracticability mid of having been devised by the ready brain of one looking for plausible arguments rather than real reforms. He only in a qualified way approved the postal savings hank recommended by the Re publican platform, which is a tried and proved means of encouraging the wage-earner nud small farmer to make deposits In a hank absolutely se«-ure; but much prefers a system which tnkes a inau's money to pay another man’s default, nud which Instead of strength ening our hanking system will break it down by destroying the value of the bauklug character and experience and capital and by offering Inducement to recklesa and speculative hankers with out character or capital. ‘The record of Mr. Bryan and his character, as it la understood by a twelve yeare' acquaintance with him. have Impressed the business communi ty of this country and those whose Judgment determines whether or not capital shall be luvested that he ia not a safe man with whom to try experi ments In government; that he loves financial theories that are full of so phistry and are impractical; that he advances propositions with but little sense of respect as to how they may be carried out in practice, and thnt he gives but little attention to the wel fare of the conservative business com munity in his suggestions of reform. Certainly his record Justifies this Judg ment of him by the business men. If he was to be elected, unquestionably because of Ills record, however much now he may seek to pose as a conserva tive—because of Ills record, because of the failure of the theory which he has proposed for the last twelve years— his election will mean a paralysis of business, and we should have a recur rence of the disastrous business con dition of the lust Democratic adminis tration.’* Brraa. He talks In the morning and talks in the night, He talks when he's wrong and he talks when he’s right; He talks In the offlee and talks in the hall, He talks in the church and he talks at the ball. He talks to the Senate and talks to the House, He talks to the people as poor common souse; He talks to the press and he talks to the crowd. He talks and he talks with a* voice long and loud; Like an old clapper mill he'll sound to the end And die disappointed for offlee and friend! —John A. Joyce in Baltimore Ameri can. Roosevelt on Taft. I hope and believe that all far sighted citizens who wish to see this country prosperous in mate rial things will support Mr. Taft, hut above all 1 ask for support for him because he stands for the moral uplift of the nation, be cause his deeds have made good Ills words, and because the poli cies to which he is committed are of immeasurable consequence alike to the honor nnd interest of the whole American people. —■———■>■—— Ladies’ Cloaks At Anywhere from $5 to $50 We are showing the widest range of kinds, colors and styles ever in our Ready-to Wear Department.
