MANLY AND VIGOROUS
PRESIDENT ROOSEvELT'S LET
TER OF ACCEPTANCE.
He Meets the Democrats on Their
Own Ground and Challenges Them
on the Issue Between Free Trade
and the Republican Policy Of Pro-
lection.

In President Roosevelt's letter of
acceptance the subject of the tariff is
given great prominence. To its dis
cussion considerably more space is
devoted than to any other topic
treated in the very lengthy letter.
Rightly considering that the tariff is
the chief issue in this campaign, the
President has undertaken to convince
the American people that the party
Of protection is the only party to
which tariff legislation can safely
be trusted. He will succeed, we feel
sure. Never before has Mr.. Roose-
welt spoken or written so wisely and
so convincingly on the tariff question.
He recognizes that no tariff schedules
can remain forever, and that modifi.
cations must come to fit new ext
gencies
But the genuine underlying prin-
ciple of protection, as it has been en-
bodied in all but one of the American
tariff laws for the last forty years,
has worked out results so benificent,
81 CNChiy anu WluCly oc ou
vantageous alike to farmers and capt.
talists and workingmen, to commerce
and trade Of every kind, that the
American people, if they show their
usual practical business sense, will
insist that when these laws are modi-
fled they shall be modified with the
utmost care and conservatism, and by
the friends and not the enemies of
the protective system. They cannot
afford to trust the modification to
those who treat protection and rob-
berry as synonymous terms"
Right here is the central fact of the
situation. The Democratic party de-
nounces protection as crime, and
yet asks to be empowered to revise
the tariff. On this point Mr.. Roose-
welt says:
"Of course, if our opponents are not
sincere in their proposal to abolish
the system CT a protective tariff there
is no use in arguing the matter at all,
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1904-10-14

vast material resources to account.
But it is no less true that it is our eco
nomic policy as regards the tariff and
finance which has enabled us as a ma
ton to make such good uses of the in
dividual capacities of our citizens,
and the natural resources of our coun-
try"
No more important recommendation
than this has ever been submitted to
the judgment of the American people.
That the question of protection to do
nestle labor and industry should be
settled finally and permanently as a
fixed principle is of vital consequence
to all labor all industry, all business.
Then, indeed, could the tariff be taken
out of politics. 1t is only kept in poll
tics to-day by the persistent antag-
onism of wrong-headed theorists and
INSCRIPTIONS partisans. In the victory
OF the Republican national ticket this
year it is to be hoped that the Dem
ocratic party will recognize rebuke
and an admonition, and that never
again will Democratic national plat
form be made to declare that "protec-
ton is a robbery" If the Democratic
party could only forget enough and
learn enough to enable it to quit be-
ing foolish on the tariff question 1t
would be a great and permanent gain
to the country.

save by pointing out again that if on

save by pointing out again that II on
one great issue they do not mean
what they say, it is hardly safe to
trust them on any other issue. But II
they are sincere in this matter, then
their advent to power would mean do
nestle misfortune and misery as wide
spread and far-reaching as that which
we saw ten years ago. When they
speak of protection as robbery they
of course must mean that 1t is i'm
moral to enact a tariff designed las
is the present protective tariff to Sc
cure to the American wage worker
the benefit of the high standard of liv-
ing which we desire to see kept up in
this country. Now, to speak of the
tariff in this sense as a robbery
thereby giving it a moral relation, is
not merely rhetorical; it is on its face
false. The question of what tariff is
best for our people is primarily one
of expediency, to be determined not
on abstract academic grounds, but in
the light of experience. 1t is matter
of business, for fundamentally ours is
a business people - manufacturers,
merchants, farmers, wage workers,
professional men, all alike. Our expe-
rience as a people in the past has
certainly not shown us that we could
afford in this alter to follow those
professional counselors who have con-
fined themselves to study in the clos
ct; for the actual working Of the tariff
has emphatically contradicted their
theories"
The Democratic attitude on the tar
in is to be construed from the Ian
guage employed in the Democratic
platform. Not only the promise of be-
ing destructive only little at time,
until the country gets used to the
destructive process; nor the curious
schoolboy plea that they can't be as
bad as they would like 20 be, because
the Senate won't let them-nothing
can obscure the intention TO destroy
protection. For. says the President:
IF protection is indeed robbery
and if our opponents really believe
what they say. then it is precisely to
the destruction and uprooting OF the
tariff. and therefore of our business
and industry. that they are pledged.

Should Be Iaken Seriously

The Boston Advertiser thinks the
Democratic attitude on the tariff
that of immediate revision, without
disturbance to business"-is not like
ly to be taken very seriously, because
the whole proposition is so contradic
tory and nonsensical. For Jnat very
reason it should be taken seriously. A
party which is capable of promising 6
general ripping up Of the tariff that
will cause no disturbance to business
which depends upon tariff stability as
a prime requisite, is not fit to be
trusted with the tariff. Ignorance and
incapacity may prove more dangerous
than intentional destructiveness.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1904-10-14

a protective tariff unconstitutional
and the effort to put this declaration
into practice was one of the causes
of the general national prostration
lasting from 1898 to 1897. II a pro-
tective tariff is either demonstrations
al or robbery then it is just as un'
constitutional, just as much robbery,
to revise it down, still leaving 1t pro-
tective, as it would be to enact 1t. In
other words, our opponents have COM
mitted themselves to the destruction
of the protective principle in the tar
if, using words which, II honestly
used. forbid them from permitting this
principle to obtain in even the small
est degree"
With the trained eye OF an eXpe'
rienced observer of economic cause
and effect, the President discovers and
points out the successful workings OF
the protective tariff in the past forty
four years; how its benefits have been
distributed among farmers, wage earn
ers, manufacturers and all classes OF
the community; how the farmer has
prospered immensely from the advan-
tage of having big consuming mar
ket at his door, ready to take and pay
good prices for his farm products, IN
stead of being compelled to ship TO
foreign markets at lower prices. We'll
employed and well paid artisans have
good appetites. and the farmer mas
ample reason to be thankful that he
caters to the most liberal consumers
that the world knows.
One expression in the letter OF ac'
ceptance should command careiul at
tention. Says the President:
1T is a matter of regret that the
protective tariff policy, which, during
the last forty odd years, mas pecohe
part of the very fiber of the country
is not now accepted as definitely es-
tablished. Surely we have rlght 70
say that it has passed beyond the 40
main of theory, and right TO expect
that not only it's original advocates
but those who at one time distrusted
it on theoretic grounds, should now
acGuiesce in the results that have
been proved over and over again by
actual experience. These forty odd
years have been the most prosperous
years this nation has ever seen; more
prosperous years than any other ma
ton has ever seen. Beyond question
this prosperity could not have come
if the American people had not pos
sessed the necessary thrift, energy
and business intelligence to turn their

The quantitative theory OF
money for which the democratic
party has contended, has been
abundantly proven by the fact that
better times and better prices came
with the doubling of the money in
circulation caused by the discover
les of gold in Alaska and the in
creased output Of gold in South
Africa. This increase, with cou-
sequently increased coinage OF gold
has swelled the volume of money
In the nation and the world much
more than could have been done
by the free coinage of silver. In
fact it has settled the silver ques
ton for the time by supplying
the money needed for the trans
action of business. Without this in
creased production of gold W
would still be having inancia
stringency and hard times. An
although the increased gold prt
duction has added nearly billio
dollars to the circulating mediul
OF this country, yet there are fiji
anciers a-plenty who are clamo
ing for asset currency for the fir
and unlimited coinage Of priya
and national bank notes becau

REPUBLICAN HARMONY.

In scramble for the spoils OF
Office, the republicans of this state
have stirred up a most delightful
row and az their troubles increase,
the peoples chances for an honest
governments become brighter.
Many Of the leading republicans
Of the state have openly accused
the faction now in control of their
party of being in league with the
head Of the Mormon church in
order to promote their personal
political interests. At the meet
ing Of the republican state COM
mittee last week, a resolution
was passed condemning but not
denying this report. 1t says.
Resolved, That we deprecate
and condemn any and all efforts
to create misunderstanding, dis
sension or friction within the
ranks of the party in this state by
an attempted revival of political
issues long since dead and for
gotten, based npon a difference OF
religious belief.
The Boise Statesman, the Oldest
and by far the most influential re-
publican paper in the state. takes
them to task on the resolution in
the following editorial:
The interests which dominated
the committee will find it difficult
to delude the people Of this state
into the belief that criticism OF the
actions of certain party leaders has
been an attempt to revise any
issues CHASED upon a difference 0
religious belief" When thos
leaders secured adoption of tina
section of the resolutions the.
attempted to screen themselve
behind q flimsy structure. AT n
time has the religious belief of an
man been assailed, but the me
who compose what is known
the party organization have bee
vigorously condemned for havir
placed the party in the positio
of catering to the vote of certal
religious organization which
charged with having notorious
participated in politician int
mingling of church and state tn
is generally distasteful. In carr
ing out arrangements with tn
church organization these social
leaders Of the republican party
Idaho have foisted upon the pub
men who are entirely untitled
the positions that have been b
tered off to advance personal pc
ical interests. The resolution

Tense those leaders can present
their actions, they are certai
