STRONG CASE in POINT.
Atlantic Seaboard Workmen Get No
Advantage From Increased Cost
of Their Productions

Frederick Seymour. Democratic
lawyer, nominated for Congress in
New Jersey, in his letter Of acceptance
makes practical plea for the issues
raised by his party, addressing himself
directly to tradeSmcn and working men
Of New Jersey.
With the statement that the interests
Of New Jersey are largely manufacture
ing he asserts that lin common with all
the seaboard States it is hard hit by
our present tariff on raw materials
which enter into the various processes
Of domestic industry ard on articles
partly made up. which are virtually
raw materials, ard on animals and
foods.
After pointing out the various arti-
cleS adversely affected by the tariff he
turns to the relations Of the tariff to
the labor question. pure and simple,
with this interesting and irrefutablc
argument:
The labor question and the tariff arc
closely connected, but in very differ
ent way from what our opponents say.
While no Federal law can directly raise
wages, the Federal Government can as
certain the facts, and can make plain
the general principles to be derived
from them. and can settle to the ac-
ceptancs Of all men that raw materials
and coal are GearCr on the Atlantic
coast than in the great interior manu-
featuring centres. that the Gcaboard is
the best place to manufacture for the
export trade. that the cost Of labor il
manufactured products is less in the
United States than anywherc else il
the world, that the tariff on most man
ufactured goods is twice and. il many
instances, four times the cost Of labor
in the product. that the tariff is excess
sive and injurious. that it is the direct
cause Of part-time work il or factor
les, that the cost Of living is increased
by the tariff, and that the increased
cost Of manufactured goods does lot go
to labor, and having established these
facts may publish them"

Roosevelt and the Heroes.

Admiral Dewey completed his fiji
tieth year of service il the navy re-
Gently and Roosevelt condescended to
send him 4 bouquet of flowers from
the White House cOnServatories. Ad
miral Schley has completed forty-tive
years of like service for his country
without receiving any recognition at
all from the President-diCn't even
get bouquet. General Miles, after
more than forty years of active SER
vice in the army. rising from the
lowest to the highest rung Of the lad
der. was dismissed with the curt an
nOuIcement of his retirement, coupled
with the equally curt order. General
Miles will proceed TO his home The
real heroes in Roosevelt's eyes are
first, himself. and then Leonard Wood
and General CoTbin.

For Voters to Decide.

Professor Wyckof, Of Princeton Uni
versity. called President Roosevelt to
account for his tariff vagaries and de-
clares that the industrial prosperity

spite of protection, ana at the cost OF
incalculablc evils consequent upon pro-
lection.

OF living, which the protective tarl.i

which thoughtful voters should ponder
in the workings Of this wonderful

tariIf-fosterad trusts sell cheaper to
foreigners than 10 voters Of this cOun-

very thing that gives them the worst
Of all bargains.

Responsibility For Panics.

'To charge the panic of 1893 to the
Wilson tariff OF 1891 is not only a will
full suppression of facts. but is 4 mani
fest pervCrSion OF the truth. 1t would
seem as if even kindergarten would
rise in protest against an argument
like this. which yet is seriously ad-
vancei bT statesmen supporting tne
platform Of the Republican party. That
panic was caused by the administra-
lion OF President Harrison. and result
ed directly therefrom. and but for the
action of President Cleveland in call
ing a special session of Congress and
procuring the repeal of the Sherman
Silver act the consequences would
have been even more disastrous than
they actually were."-William E.

September 20.

POOLING THE FARMER.
Eoosevclt's Letter Drops Into the
Old Republican Pretense. s.r

The Republican party has for years
been trying to delude the farmer and
the WOrkingman into the belief that
the present tariff makes them better
off; that is, that it makes the American
wage Garner or farmer richer to pay
heavy taXes-taxes on all that he
wears, his tools, on his agricultural
machinery, on the nails and wood that
go into his house. his bed, his table
and his coffin, on his Swaddling clothes,
his wedding garments ard his Shroud
1t is pure pretense that fifty-two
per cent. of the American farmers
crops are used as the manufacturers
raw material. 1t is characteristic of
the Presidents letter of acceptance
that he does not say thai raw cotton
makes more than half OF the products
Of the farm used in this way, and there
is no reason why this fact should have
been omitted unless the assertion
would have made the whole statement
ridiculous

Of Right Rev. J. Percival, Bishop of

plea for universal peace, and con-

SURPLUS AND DEFICIT.
Comparison by Bryan to the Credit
of CIeyeland's Administration.

Speaking of the panic of 1893, Will
liam ]. Bryan says in the current is
sue Of tie Commoner:
The first indication of its coming
appeared November II. 1880, when
the New York Clearing House As$O-
citation voted its certificates to banks
in need of assistance. November IL
the Boston Clearing House did like

of Philadelphia, failed with liabilities
Of S5,000,000. Mr.. Bryan then gives
a long list of failures. beginning with
the United Rolling Stock Company, Of
Chicago. November %. 1880. and end
ing with that Of the Spring Garden
Bank, of Philadelphia, Nay S. 1891.
Then came the Homestead and other
great labor troubles. followed by the
election of Cleveland to the Presiden-
cy. In May, 1895 there were more
failures. and finally the raids on the
United States Treasury. January II.
1894. the Administration ordered a
S5O.OO0.O00 bond issue. August /,
1894. the Wilson tariff went into eff
feet
Continuing with his most INTEREST
ing and timely retrospect, 9Ir. Bryan
says:
1t will be observed That the Cleve-
land Administration ordered the SjO,-
100000 bond issue January II, 1894.
That was seven months before the
Wilson bill became Il law. Perhaps
it is not significant. but III view cf
Mr.. Rooseyelt's claim. it is at least
interesting. that the first Indications
of the panic occurred November II,
1880 a little more than thirty days
after the Mckinley tariff bill became
a law. From that date the panic ragged
and while its effects were felt for
several years. ii reached its west

hard for the success Of the Democratic

NO MUD SINGING.
Judge Parker Speaks Out FOR a
Clean Campaign.

That Judge Alton e. Parker. the
Democratic nominee for the Presi-
dency. is man far above the small
things Of life and Il man of rOck-ribbed
principle. his famous gold telegram
to the ST. Louis convention was in it
self sufficient evidence, but more
striking Illustration of his absolute
high-mindedness is the following letter
10 Mr.. George L. Parker, Chairman of
the Literary Bureau of the National
Democratic Committee, and 4 number
of the committee which prepared the
textbook. The letter follows:
RosemOunt,
Es0DuS. New York,
August II, 1904.
Ny Dear M. Parker:
The Times of this morning says that
the party textbook is about prepared,
and that it will go to the printer in a
few days. Therefore / hasten to beg
you to see to it that there is no word
in it that reflects upon the personal
honor and integrity Of President ROOSe
welt.
An Evening Post editorial indicates
that but little care was taken in that
direction toward myself by the com
piler of the Republican textbook, but
let there be 10 rcjoinder in kind or
otherwise.
| feel confident that YOU need no re-
hinder. still my anxiety impels me to
send this caution.
Very truly yours.
ALTON 3. PARKER.
Nh. George +. Parker.
1t viii be remembered that many
pages Of the Republican campaign
book We're devoted to an attack upon
ihe personal character of the Demo
cratic nominee; especially in regard to
his motives in sending the Gold Tel
egram" 70 the party convention at
ST. Louis.
That the wishes of Judge Parker
that there be mo rcjoinder in kind or
otherwise" have been scrupulOusly OBJ
served Will be apparent when the DEM
Ocratic text book, now about to be
issued, is read.
The book will have as a sort Of
preface full copy OF the Constitution
Of the United States, as emphasizing
the Democratic contention that the
return to, the Constitution" is one
of the principal issues in this cam
paign. The greatest amount of space
in the book is devoted to the discussion
Of the tariff.
