Gated in such schemes who once feared
a general pursuit was Quoted when
the soothing assurance reached them
to run amuck.' Nor will they prob
ably accept the suggestion that re-
pentance or a change of heart ac-
counts for the manner by which the
threats and luminosity of many
powerful trust magnates have been
displaced by their approval and sub
stantial support of the party which
seeks to convince the people of its
misunderstanding proclivities.
Some Platform Claims.
This item OF the account will not
be passed over without a reference to
the platform statement that pro
lection, which guards and develops
our industries, is a cardinal policy OF
the Republican party nor without
noting the declaration OF the candi-
date standing on this platform, that
the protective tariff policy ought
now to be considered as definitely
established The question will be
asked, which are the American in
dustries that at this time are in need
of the shelter of such q tariff as that
now in force; and is there never to be
a time when American enterprise,
American ingenuity, and American
opportunity will free our industries
from their stage of infancy and per-
NIT American aspiration and Ameri-
can self-reliance to cast away the
leading strings of definitely estab-
lished protective policy? The peo-
Pile know that this policy has given
| rise to reckless greed and to a wor-
ship OF gain, menacing patriotic
| sentiment and our love for high
standards OF national greatness, and
they know that at best it lays bur-
dens on the consumers of our land.
with these tendencies and these
burdens in mind they will ask the
party pro essilg its anxiety to re-
strain or destroy harmful combina-
tons, why protective tariff policy
should be considered definitely es-
tablished, which, in addition to its
other sins, contributes to a situation
| that permits a combination or mo-
nopoly to sell abroad articles of our
manufacture at lower prices than are
exacted from our own citizens at
home. They will see the sheer wrong
fitness of this condition so clearly
and they will so firmly believe that
in this way they are made to bear
tariff burdens in order that they
may be Disseminated against in
favor of foreign consumers that they
will not be satisfied with the assur-
ance that the tariff has nothing to
do with trusts. They will consign
such an explanation to the limbo OF
negation, to take its place with the
outworn deception that the foreign
exporter pays our tariff taxes, and
with two other sadly weak pretenses
one that tariff should be reformed
only by its friends, and the other
that the party which believes that a
protective tariff policy ought to be
considered as definitely established
loves reciprocity in trade.

now shamelessly to assume that the
time has arrived when popular heed
lessness or dizziness will permit boast
ing and reckless assertion to pass for
truth and reason. Ii this assump-
ton is justified there can be no doubt
that the sober and responsible poiti-
cal thought and watchfulness, upon
which the true intent and purpose of
our government depends. are in
grievous peril. Ii, on the other hand,
this assumption is viciously unwar-
ranted, it is an insult to American
manliness which should arouse
prompt and effective resentment.
Infallibility and Supercilious-
Never before have our people been
SO belabored with party deliverances,
which, in every line and every word,
from platform declarations to the
last appeal OF party advocacy are SO
saturated with cOnceited and tire
some claims of infallibility, and with
supercilious disdain of all political
efforts except such as are attempted
under the banner of Republicanism
Shall this pass current at u time
when, at the parting OF the ways in
our nations development we are
especially called topatriotic thought
fulness and careful contemplation of
party designs and to a vigilant
watch against dangers that beset us?
My faith in my countrymen will not
permit me to believe this, or to doubt
that they will insist upon examining
for themselves the accounts of party
stewardship.
They know that their country
prosperity, like the rains of Heaven
which freshen and beautify the orna-
mental lawn and at the same time
make productive the farm and gar
den, should be distributed among all
the people in every station OF life;
and they will challenge the claim Of
a party which boasts of a prosperity
it has wrought which gives to it's
pampered favorites added opportun-
tiles to increase their riches, while
the poor and those who toll wait like
Lazarus to be fed from the crumbs
which fall from the rich mans table
How Credit Must Be Won.
The party will be given just credit
which, early or late, has endeavOred
to safeguard the soundness of the
nations currency; but the people will
reject as savoring OF presumption
the insistence that only those belong
ing to one party organization can
claim to be the protectors and de-
tenders of our financial integrity; nol
will they forget that the fight was
hOtly on when many OF the leaders
of the party now making such an in
sistence were worse than lukewarm
in the cause.
"a party may indulge in self-con
graduation when it has effectively
defended the people in their daily life
from the rapacity of trusts and com
binations, which thrive as private
enterprise is strangled, and which
grow fat, as by their control OF the
cost of living, they cause the homes
Of our land to grow lean; but the
people will hardly approve the

White men, you cannot afford to
be indifferent about the result OF this
election. How many of you would
like to see gang of rowdy negroes
voting again in Wayne county?
Well, that is just what the Republi-
can party in Wayne county is trying
to do. 1t is as plain as the bright
sunshine on this October day that
the Republicans are trying to cap
ture the Legislature SO that they can
amend the election law, get hold OF
the election machinery and allow
many thousands of negroes to vote
again. Then we would have negro
magistrates, Just like we had a few
years ago and negro school commit
teemen over white schools These
are the facts. Let the white men and
white men of Wayne county think o
these things.

States while engaged in the subjuga-
ton OF a people thousands of miles
from our shores, whom an incident
OF war undertaken by us in aid of
those struggling for liberty and in
dependence in another quarter, had
put within our power; and the peo-
pie will ask under what sanction
was this subiugation entered upon
by a nation pledged to the doctrine
that all just powers OF government
are derived from the consent OF the
governed; and they will DENY that
imperialism and our forcible rule OF
foreign people have any place among
the purposes OF our national life.
when credit is claimed for secur-
ing route for a long-desired inter
oceanic waterway, it viii not be in a
carping spirit that the people will
look at the incidents accompanying
this achievement. They do not un-
dervalue the object gained, but they
keenly appreciate the Importance
and value OF our national honor, our
national good name, and, above, all,
our national morality. Not even
the great worth of the thing accom-
plished will close theeyes of thought
ful Americans to the fact that in
reaching the results we have exhibit
ed such international ruthlessness
and such selfish International i'm
morality as have lastingly debilita-
ted our reputation for good faith,
and established a precedent which,
in time to come, may be invoked to
justify the most startling and repre-
hensible abandonment OF the high
ideals which have made us an eX-
ample of the best civilization-a peo-
pie, happy as we are intelligently
free, strong as we are scrupulously
just, and everywhere trusted and
| honored as we undeviatingly follow
in the way of uprightness and recti-
tude.
Misleading Claims to Support.

misleading purpose of the vainglori-
Gus claims made by party organi-
cation which seeks continuance OF
political control, and to intimate
the humiliating estimate of our peo-
pies intelligence and patriotic vigi-
lance which the exploitation of these
claims involve. 1t is surely not mar
row partisanship which prompts me
to entreat my countrymen to hold
fast and sure their independence oil

partisanship when beg them to re-
member that the true greatness and
rest upon wealth which finds its way
to the few at the expense of the many
nor upon such material success as
contaminates the purity or blunts
the potency OF patriotism; nor upon
expansion in disregard of our nation
al mission and intent; nor upon
achievements that put in question
our national morality.
"AbOve all, greater than all, guard

everything that American patriotism
