ROOSEVELT HOT SHOT.
On Ilnakrll.
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.
