When the great iron and steel indus
try of the United States thrives, other
American industries thrive. The Dem
ccratic party could not legislate to de-
stroy the protection to the iron and steel
industry without legislating to destroy
the prosperity of the United States.
The millions of additional profit and
wages that have come to the Iron and
steel industry under Republican rule
would have been earned, IL at NIL. by
foreign nations. had Democratic policies
prevailed during the last eight years.
The gigantic rise of this industry dur
ing the last eight years added enormous

ROOSEVELT GOOD ENOUGH
The People Like the Pre.ident's Dem
ocrntic Ways.
[John S. Wise. of yirginia.l

lJonn >. WISE, OF virginia.
The people have seen more of Roose-
velt-now as youth and cowboy and
sportsman and naval secretary and po-
lice commissioner and soldier and gov
ernor and President to think themselves
fair judges of his ingram democratic and
republican personality. They believe he
would spring at and grapple with a
usurper or a monarchist as fercely as
he would lasso wild broncho or fight
a Spaniard. And they like his demo-
cratic ways, more democratic far in ac-
ton than the aristOcratic and exclusive
ness of Parker, with his colorless demo-
cratic platitudes.
Talk does not settle popular estimates
of public men. Thousands-nay, hun
dreds of thousands-of Democrats see
more real democracy in the vigorous, ag-
eressive, wideawake Theodore Roosevelt
than in the colorless, secretive Alton B.
Parker. The platforms are mighty near
together. The men are going to be a
more decisive feature of this campaign
than usual. And with my knowledge
of the American people and the things
which please their taste and fancy and
fill their ideals Of what real American
manhood is would. il were betting
man, stake all had that Roosevelt will
be an easy winner.

The truth is, there is now more dis
affection in the Democratic party than
there was when Bryan was nominated
the first time. Neither Bryan Demo-
Gratis nor friends of w. II. Hearst will
support Parker. In New York State the
Bryanites have put State pvpunst
ticket in the field and will vote for Wat
son, the Populist nominee for the Presi-
dency. In New Jersey the Hearstites
have organized the Peoples Demo
cratic party" and will fight the regular
organization. In Indiana and other
States the free silver and Bryan Demo-
Gratis are in arms and will worry the
Parker party.

Railway Firem-u Paw Notable rrib-
ute 60 President Roosevelt.

ute 20 President koosevett.
No President ever received a more
notable tribute from a labor organiza-
ton than Theodore Roosevelt did at the
convention of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen held in Buffalo. A pub
lie meeting was held Oh the night of
Sept. 13. Fully 5000 persons were in
attendance.
Grand Master Hannahan, In conclud-
ing an address, called attention to the
fact that New York newspaper had
criticised the President because he had
accepted an honorary membership in the
brotherhood OF Locomotive Firemen.
'Let me say" said Mr.. Hannahan, "that
II the President of the United States or
any other of its citizens does nothing
worse than accept membership in this
organization he will neither merit the Ill
will nor deserve the censure of any Of
his fellow-men. (Cheers.)
IF the rest of the public. and particu-
larly those who are intrusted with the
direction of our government and the
management of the nations greatest en-
terprises would do as the President and
meet us upon common level. there
would be fewer strikes and less strife
and more of peace and goodwill in the
industrial world"
your shouted an intoxicated man, who
stood near the stage door on the right
What has the President donef" re-
peated Grand Master Hsnnaban. "The
President has proven to the organized
workingmen Of this country that he has
an interest in their welfare by accepting
an honorary membership in an orgnniza-
ton of men whose faces are begrimed
by smoke and dust, and who daily and
hourly face the gravest dangers"
The monster audience burst Into
deafening cheers. The tumult rolled
from wall to wall and back again. Men
stood up on the benches, wildly waving
their hats and cheering for the Presi-
dent. The demonstration was spon-
taneous and was general all over the hall.
Finally 1t died down and some one in
the audience shouted.
"Hurrah for Theodore Rooseveltw
And again the crowds burst into
cheers and when the second demonstra-
ton died out the intoxicated man was
nowhere to be seen.
During the demonstration the men on
the stage sat silent and made no effort
either to check or urge on the remark.

ceived. The brotherhood does not per-
