Of this country such as we never had be-
fore. Yet they voted against their con-
| v~ictions, for that awful danger, just be-
cause it has always been enough for a
Democrat to say, I am a Democrat;
never mind the issue
Gold Standard, Wise Tariff.
sYon can be sure that Roosevelt and
| his party will treat the tariff wisely.
| How Parker and his party will treat the
| tariff nobody knows, but we all fear.
With Roosevelt and his party we are
sure Of sound money, but with Parker
and his party we can only hope for ITS
permanence. The Democrats will vote
for Gold Parker for the same reason
they voted fer Silver Bryan, just because
they are Democrats, but the Silver Dem
ocrats repudiate Parker's gold creed
| millions and millions OF them. Parker
| telegraphed that he believed the gold
standard to be i~rrevocably fixed. 1t is
80 irrevecably fixed, providing the Re
| publican party remains in power, but not
irrevocabiy fixed if the Democrats come
into power. What could Parker do with
his wild herd Of silverites If the chance
ever came fer them to stampede?
Safety with Roosevelt.
"We know that Roosevelt and his par
ty will deal with the trusts seriously and
| vigorously, as in the past, but how Par
ker and his party will deal with the
trusts no one knows. Roosevelt stands
| clearly ON his record as to trust abuses.
| When the Northern Securities vas violat-
ing the antitrust law, he Instantly or
dered the most stringent Investigation,
and the Supreme Court decided that the
law had been violated, and ordered a
dissolution. We can be u that Roose-
welt will keep on in that same vigorous
attitude towards the enforcement Of the
laws.
"0n the ether hand, Parker has been
very tiRid and tame in speaking Of che
trusts In his speech Of acceptance. Back
OF that strange caution in Parker's utter
ances is the wellknown alliance OF some
of the biggest trust systems to secure his
| election. 1t is absolutely impossible to
predict what treatment he will give them
IL he is called upon as President to en-
force the laws against them
sour foreign policy is safe with Roese-
welt and John Hay, but Parker and his
party are likely to plunge into the un-
known, with paths that lead to nowhere
in particular. II Parker were elected.
David b. Hill. the corrupt political boss
| OF New York, would doubtless occupy the
| position new - ably filed by Secretary
| or State Hny.
"Rscseyek and his party have always
been constitutional Parker and his par
ty make 'eenstitutienaHsm' q mask for
a lack Of aggrcssiveRess and an excnse
for failure to meet public questions ia
an Intelligent, aggressive n Roose-
/ vclk has never ceme near overriding the
Constitutes. Ii he had ever dsne vie
lence 70 the OonStitutisn he would have
to meet the charges Of impeachment.
But not eace has the widest Democrax
in Congress even suggested THAI Boosep
| velt was open to i~mpeachmest. When a
| strong man PERFORMS q great duty be
does IL in a prompt and decisive man
ner. Instantly weak and envieus peo-
pie cry. Behold a giant whs win tram
| pie usr
0pea. Henest, Prank.
"As Ger honesty, Ne living mAa can
| charge nseseveR WIN d~ecsitfulness, and
uobedy fsib - knew what he Is driving
at. PARKER nay nss be deceitful, but he
takes q IsnGss timc q show himself spen
| and s~bsvcbeard. Befsre his nonination.
he wes fansss for not spcring his mouth
| on geld Nobody knew any<hing Of his
attitnds except that he lad twice voted
Ger Bryan. He got his nomination be-
cause Of that golden silence. After half
OK tina ~esnsentinn Aad gase home he
sent his fanous telegram.
"In view Of all these thiK ls," says Mr..
Cisws, Il think It pretty clear that it
win be SAFER Dor che country to vote for
Roosevelt and che Republican nominees
