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:
We have enacted n tariff law un-
der which, during the past few years.
the country has attained a height OF
material we'll 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
iustment 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 it can
not SO remain unless we have pro-
tective tariff which shall always keep
as a minimum rate of duty sufti-
cient to cover the difference between
the labor cost here and abroad. Those

THE ISSUE DEFINED
SPEECHES OF PRESIDENT ROoSe-
WELT AND SPEAKER CANkON.
Alike in the Address Of Notification
and in the Response Thereto, the
Predominance of the Tariff Cues
ton is Distinctly Recognized.

The two speeches delivered at O!s-
ter Bay on the 27th 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-haye set
tied the question as to what is the
dominant issue in this years cam
paign. If any doubt remained con
Cerning 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
Hies, Mr.. Cannon said:
Under the lead of the Republican
party for over forty years the United
States, from being a third-class pow
er among the nations has become in
every respect first. The people rule.
The people ruling, it is necessary that
they should be competent to rule.
Competency requires not only patriot
ism, but material well-being, educa-
tion and statccraft.
1.-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
developing, diversifyinG and maintain
ing our industries. at the same time
protecting our citizens laboriuS in pro-
duction against the competition of for
eign labor. Under this policy our mall
ufactured product to-day is one-third

protection as robbery, thereby ex-
plicitly commit themselves to the
proposition that if 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 it, with the workings of
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 tho
maintain the American standard Of
living. while the Democratic party,
caring nothing for the American
standard OF living, but intent. now as
always, upon cheapening and degrad-
ing American labor brazenly autaSo-
niZes protection both as to principle
and policy by denouncing it as rob
berry" of the many for the benefit of
I the few. No matter if protection does
maintain high wages and high
standard of living. Being robbery
of course, protection must go. That is
the Democratic attitude.
Upon the general subject of reci.
| prOcity President Roosevelt said:
we believe in reciprocity with for.
| eign nations on the terms outlined In
| President McKinley's last speech
which urged the extension of our for
eign markets by reciprocal agree
ments whenever they could be made
without injury to American industry
and labor"
By this rule there can be no reci

with American industry and labor |,

lican rule as laid down by the ma
tional Republican convention of 1904

A Reminder of His Wild Oats,

Richard Croker once visited an
ancient English castle, the owner be-

of interesting rooms opened a door
and disclosed a large number Of bot

reaching to the lofty ceiling.

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 30th of June, 1904.
our exports to foreign countries were
valued at sl,i00,000.0 900, of which
$3.50, 100000 were products of the fac
tory. The world fell in our debt last
year s470, 100000, 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 op-
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
that time, sent his telegram sayingi in
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,

In captivity elephants always stand

they lie down. The reason given for
the difference between the elephant
in captivity and in freedom is that

MAY CALL FOR BIDS
County Board VIII Act on Jail
Deficit Today.

At the regular meeting of the board
of county commissioners to be held
this morning, it is expected that the
county auditor will be instructed to
advertise for bids for the proposed
issue of additional Jail bonds, made
necessary by the failure of Auditor
Krahmer to include a proper amount in
the last bond issue to complete the
new jail.
The order would have been issued
some time ago, but it was necessary
to postpone action until County Audi
tor ESahmer could submit statement
of the exact condition of the Jail fund,
which will be readyofor the board to-
day. Mr.. Krahmer has been busy for
some days preparing this statement,
which is expected to contain informa-
ton of much interest to the taxpay
ers, inasmuch as it will show that the
new Jail will cost in the neighborhood
Of $270,000, instead of 100000, as orig
inally planned.
The new bond issue will probably
be for $4,000, of which amount $4,000
will be required to pay outstanding
bills for work already completed
When the question of the payment
Of these bills was first discussed in
the county board there was a decided
opposition to another bond issue ow-
ing to public sentiment against such
action. but after considerable discus
sion 1t was agreed that there was no
other way out of the predicament, and
a majority of the board members will
vote for the bond issue.

meet this afternoon to make final ar
rangements for leap year party, to
be given by them in the city hall the
evening of Feb. 10.
1t is the intention of the young wom-

floor of the building, and a committee
will call upon the mayor and the joint
commission to get the necessary per-

the promoters encouragement, and it is
stated that there will be no objection
to the young women using the big
corridor on the third floor as a place
in which to entertain their gentlemen
friends.
An orchestra has been secured and
the tile floor will be prepared for dane
ing purposes. Should the commission
disappoint the girls and decline to per-
init the use of the city hall, some other
hall will be secured.
Some of the young women who are
interested in the project are Misses

Suppose that an inhabitant of Mars

Savior, and should observe the man

should then return to Mars and repeat
the story to the other Martians.
"The natural question would be, L
suppose His name is held in great rev.

Supposing further that he should an

the real manner in which the name is
used, what do you suppose the Mar
tians would think? Nothing more nor
less than that the Christians were all
insane.
who would think Of using the name
of George Washington or Abraham
Lincoln as the name of Christ is used?
And why should the name of Christ
be singled out among all others as the
one to be so used? Surely He has done
nothing that merits such treatment of
His name.
1.-The present condition is in part ac
counted for by the fact that the early
Christians were in the habit of speak
ing the names of holy men at all times
and places, but always with the great
est reverence. AS time passed and
every veStige of Christianity vanished
from the Christians of today, nothing
remained as heritage of the past but
the habit of repeating sacred names.
The purpose for which they were or

only as curses. The wanton, savage
and insane manner in which they are
applied as epithets merits nothing but
the greatest condemnation.
THE habit of imitation is hard to
overcome. The power of example is
great. Set a good example by showing
that there still exists a bodyaof men
who can do without disappearing and
cursing. A child placed in british e1l-
vironment will in time develop british
instincts, and, oppositely, one placed
