perhaps no other man is so much in

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 a pro-

Mrs. Boldero, having been advised
by the doctor ito keep up her
strength" had ordered for luncheon a
rump steak and kidney pudding, which
che was just about to carve, and some
mutton outlets, now in front Of Miss
Lucy Westlake, her companion, whose
principal duty was to read Mrs. Boil

The pudding was served in white
basin with napkin around it, and
the parlor maid stood, interestedly
looking on, while Mrs. Boldero cut
.V-shaped piece out of the top, placed
this on plate, and began to spoon
out the contents. Suddenly pausing,
with the spoon in her right hand, she
turned wrathfully toward Mary.

Mrs. Boldero felt disappointed. She

twice since her 10 o'clock breakfast.

Lucy Westlake tried somewhat mark

no interest in the world for herself.

Nevertheless, Mrs Boldero felt a

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-have set
tied the question as to what is the
dominant issue in this years cam
paign. If any doubt remained con-
corning 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

words alike of the authorized spokes-
man of the Republican party and of
the candidate chosen by the unani-

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 it's rela-
ton to the shaping of events and pol
icies, Mr.. Cannon said:
Under the lead of the Republican
party for over forty years the United
States, from being 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-
ton and statecraft.
"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

protecting our citizens laboring in pro-
duction against the competition of for

protection as a 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 preceding tariff law of 1894 and
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
protective policy is it possible to
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 antago.
nizes protection both as to principle
and policy by denouncing it as rob.
berry" of the many eor the benefit OF
the few. No matter IL protection does
maintain high wages and a high
standard of living Being robbery"
of course, protection must go. That is
the Democratic attitude.
Upon the general subject of reel.
procity President Roosevelt said:
1--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-
procity in products which compete
with American industry and labor. 1t
is a safe rule. 1t is the only Repub-
lican rule as laid down by the ma.
tional Republican convention of 1904.
1t was what President Mckinley
meant at Buffalo in 1901. 1t is what
President Roosevelt means now. 1t is
also what the Republican party meaus
all the time.

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 Goth of June, 1904,
our exports to foreign countries were
valued at 40O,OOo,0O0, Of which
$3.50, 100000 were products Of the fac
tory. The world fell in our debt last
year $470,000,000, 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 OPP
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, hay
ing been as silent as the sphinx to
that time, sent his telegram saying.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
reDcy laws; a majority may de-
stroy the gold standard and establish
the silver standard, or, in lieu of Ell
Their or both. make the treasury note,
aon-interest bearing and irredeem-
able, the sole standard of value.

able land, to the region of assured Ger.

Chance of Spending His Money.
I'm the West" said Mr. William
Sturgis of Cheyenne, Wyo., 1.-The people
take very slowly to the notion that
government should busy itself in the
endeavor to regulate public morals.
For that reason, although we have
a pretty stiff state antigambling law,
the statute is of little potency, and the
boys gather in the old familiar centers
to bet their coin against faro, roulette,
hazard or poker.
Not long ago one of my clients, OF
the cowboy tribe, who had deposited
$1,000 with me, made a trip to town,
and for several days got me to let him
have about 500 per diem. l thought
he was trying his luck at faro, and
finally, when he had spent just hall
his capital, l advised him that the
writing of checks was getting monot
onous, and that IL he meant to keep on
playing to withdraw the remaining
$500 in a lump, so that he need moi
bother to hunt for me- At the same
time l advised him in strong terms tc
stop then and there and take nc
chances in losing the money he had
acquired through months Of patient
toll on the plains. He heard me
through with the utmost patience, TAX
ing no apparent heed of my rebuke
and then said: L know what you say
is true, Judge; but supposing l should
