and our people receive almost double
the pay for their labor that similar
labor receives elsewhere in the world,
thereby enabling us to bear the bur-
den Of citizenship.
Liberal compensation for labor
makes liberal customers for our prod
ucts. Under this policy of protection
our home markets afford all our peo-
pie a better market than has any
other people on earth, and this, too,
even If we did not sell any OF our
products broad. In addition to this,
we have come to be the greatest ex-
porting nation In the world. For the
year ending the Both Of June, 1904,
our exports to foreign countries were
valued at $1,400,0OOO0O, Of which
$3.50, 100000 we're products Of the fac
tory. The world fell in our debt last
year s47O,OOO,OOO, an increase OF $751;
100000 over the preceding year.
This policy Of protection has al
ways been opposed by the opponents
Of the Republican party, and is OPP
posed by them to-day. In their last
national platform, adopted at st.
Louis, they denounce protection as
robbery. They never have been given
power, but they proceeded by word
and act to destroy the policy OF pro-
lection. Their platform is as silent as
the grave touching the gold standard
and our currency system. Their chos-
en- leader, after his nomination, hav-
ing been as silent as the sphinx to

substance that the gold standard is
established, and that he will govern
himself accordingly If he should be
elected"
Later on in his speech Mr.. Cannon
returned to the subject uppermost in
his mind, as follows:
Correct revenue laws. protection
or free trade, the gold standard and
our currency system, all depend upon
the sentiment Of the majority Of our
people as voiced at the ballot box.
A majority may change our revenue
laws, a majority may change our cur
reDcy laws; a majority may de-
stroy the gold standard and establish
the silver standard, or, in lieu Of ell
ther or both. make the treasury note.

able land. to the region Of assUsd GER
tainty. The Republican party stands
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1904-09-08

for protection. It stands for the gold
standard and our currency system.
All these dwell in legislation enacted
under Ghe lead Of the Republican par
ty and against the most determined
opposition Of the Democratic party,
including its leader and candidate.
These being our policies, and having
been most useful to the country, we
have confidence In and love them. II

they should be strengthened here and
controlled there. the Republican party
stands ready, with loving, competent
hands, to apply the proper remedy.
say remedy Being our policies, we
will not willingly subject them to
their enemies for slow starvation on
the one hand or to sudden destruction
on the other.
"Since the Republican party was
restored to power, in 1897, under the
lead Of Mckinley, our country has
prospered in production and In COM
merce as 1t has never prospered be-
fore. In wealth we stand first among
all the nations"
Not less plain and positive on the
subject Of vital Importance of the
protective tariff as an issue was Pres
ident Roosevelt in reply. He did not
hesitate to declare himself in har-
mony with the proposition that pro-
lection Is and must continue to be the
settled, permanent policy of the Re-
publican party when he said:
I'VE have enacted q tariff law I'M
der which, during the past few years,
the country has attained height Of
material well being never before
reached. Wages are higher than ever
before. That whenever the need arises
there should be a readjustment of the
tariff schedules is undoubted; but
such changes can with safety be made
only by those whose devotion to the
principle Of protective tariff is be-
yond question; for otherwise the
changes would amount not to read
justment, but to repeal. The read
justment when made must maintain
and not destroy the protective prin-
ciple. To the farmer, the merchant,
the manufacturer, this is VITAL but
perhaps no other man is so much In
terested as the wage worker In the
maintenance Of our present economic
system, both as regards the finances
and the tariff. The standard of living
of our wage workers is higher than
that Of any other country, and 1t can
not so remain unless we have a pro-
tective tariff which shall always keep
as a minimum a rate of duty suffi-
Client to cover the difference between
the labor cost here and abroad. Those
who, like our opponents, 'denounce

| protection as a robbery thereby ex
plicltly commit themselves to the
proposition that II they were to re-
wise the tariff no heed would be paid
to the necessity Of meeting this diff
ference between the standards Of liv'
Ing for wage workers here and In
other countries; and therefore on this
point their antagonism to our position
is fundamental.
Here again we ask that their
promises and ours be judged by what
has been done in the immediate past,
We ask that sober and sensible men
compare the workings of the present
tariff law, and the conditions which
obtain under 1t, with the workings OF
the preceding tariff law of 1894 and
the conditions which that tariff OF
1894 helped to bring about"
The fundamental difference In the
attitudes Of the two parties on the
subject Of protection is herein stated
with great force. The Republican par.
ty stands committed to the doctrine
that only through the operation Of the
protective policy is 1t possible to
maintain the American standard OF
living, while the Democratic party,
caring nothing for the American
standard Of living, but intent, now as
always, upon cheapenlng and degrad.
ing American labor, brazenly antago.
nlzes protection both as to principle
and policy by denouncing It as rob.

"And your good fortune Is what,

her eyes.
"A much more important position
has been awarded to me, with cor
responding increase in emolument,"
replied General Garden with more Of
dignity than Of pride. Jessie threw
her arms around her fathers neck
and spoke tender words of congratula-
ton.

clared with augh,which brought the
roses to her cheeks. II am going to

General Garden looked into the
handsome face of the young man who
calmly made this proposition. For
some moments he was silent, but the
old hopes awoke and the courage of
youth came back.

THE ISSUE DEFINED
SPEECHES OF PRESIDENT RoosE.
WELT AND SPEAKER CANNON.
Alike IN the Address Of Notification
ard in the Response Thereto, the
Predominance of the Tariff Cues
tion is Distinctly Recognized.

The two speeches delivered at Oys-
ter Bay on the 9th of July, 1904, first
by Speaker Cannon as chairman Of
the committee appointed by the Re-
publican national convention to notify
Theodore Roosevelt of his nomination
for President of the United States;
and, second, the speech Of President
Roosevelt, giving notice of his accept
ance of that nomination-have set
tied the question as to what is the
dominant issue In this years cam
paign. If any doubt remained con-
corning the chief issue, almost the
only issue, which divides the two
great parties in the civic battle Of
1904, such doubt has been completely
removed. The tariff is the issue. 1t
has been made the issue by the plain
words alike of the authorized spokes-
man of the Republican party and Of
the candidate chosen by the unani-
nous action Of the Republican party.
In his address Of notification Speak
er Cannon devoted his attention to
the tariff more largely than to all
other subjects combined. After dwell
ing briefly upon the splendid history
of the Republican party in its rela-
ton to the shaping of events and pol
icies, Mr.. Cannon said:
"Under the lead of the Republican
party for over forty years the United
States, from being third-class pow
er among the nations has become In
every respect first. The people rule.
The people ruling, 1t is necessary that
they should be competent to rule.
Competency requires not only patriot
ism, but material well-being, educa-
ton and statecraft.
"The people, under the lead Of the
Republican party, wrote upon the stat
ute books revenue laws, levying taxes
upon the products Of foreign countries
seeking our markets, which replen-
ished our treasury, but were so adj
justed as to encourage our people in
