friends who think wisely on the subject
do not regard their attitude as a menace.
and some. however. feel that the declara-
ton in the st. Louis platform is another
menace to the great protective system of
the Republican party.
Roast For Democrats.
.''I hold to the opinion that when the
Democratic party declares the tariff to be
robbery. that we should not entrust to
that party the responsibilities of the ma
tionsl government. They say that while
we regard the tariff as the existing law.
no harm can come under the substantial
interests of the party because there is a
Republican senate which will stand be-
tween the Democratic administration and
harm 20 the great interests of the Amer
lean people I do not believe that is
wise way to consider the great questions
OF our national welfare I think we
ought 10 rely on a Republican senate.
NC might make assurance doubly sure
we should plod along with a Republican
senate: we should have a Republican
house Of representatives and a Republican
policy. We should avoid taking any
chance upon these great problems.
FrauCht with such consequences to our
future welfare. we should make sure that
by expressing our judgment at the bailoi
hoX we do not lay the groundwork for
distrust and uncertainty. Let the Amer
lean people know that they are satisfied
with the protective system. that they are
satisfied with the policies Of the Repub-
Hcan party. and that they are satisfied
with the Republican foreign market.
Appeals to Democrats.
."Our Democratic friends deliberately
invite the American people to overthroW
the policies and turn out OF the White
House the chief executive under whom
these splendid results are being achieved.
No. fellow citizens. If the American people
