MR.. FAIRBANKs's LETTER.
A Clear ard Effective Statement oR
Republican Principles.

A Clear ard Effective Statement o8'
Republican Principles.
Senator Fairbanks's letter of accept
ance is document which appeals direct
ly to the business men and workers gen.
orally. 1t states clearly some of the most
important, but perhaps not sufficiently
understood, tenets of the Republican,
party in its conflict with Democracy.
In calling attention to the service done
to the entire country by the establish
ment Of the Bureau of Commerce and
Labor with a special department to deal
with corporations. the Senator points out
the first real attempt by the government
to deal with the trust problem. He clear
" sees that the regulation of the great
combinations Of capital by law is pos
sible, is necessary, and he shows the
consistent course Of the Republican party
in this regard.
As to our foreign policy Senator Fair
banks rightly considers that we have
much to be proud of in the firm. eonser-
vative and thoroughly broad and Chris
tian policy which has been adhered to
during the years of Republican admins
tratiOn. The tremendous expansion in
our trade. our foreign interests and in
tluence has been accomplished by peace
full methods, and no remote sign OF war
has appeared upon our horizon in the
years following the establishment OF new
National relations or our acquisition Of
vast territory in the far East
In his enunciation Of the Republicans
idea Of the desirability of closer trade
relations with our great neighbor. Can
ada, the candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency is peculiarly happy. He is plainly
for a liberal movement for reciprocity
between this country and the people just
over the line to the north. He also
emphasizes the value Of the open door
secured for us in China. and promises a
continuance Of thea benefits of thar re-
sult of our recent foreign policy.
As a whole. the letter of the Vice Pres
idential candidate is a strong paper. one
which commands respect and confidence.
Senator Fairbanks is meeting the Ameri-
can people face to face. from one end
of the country to the other, in his very
lively campaign. 1t is well, however. to
lave in hand his written opinions and
aspirations as a public man on the great
questions at issue at this moment

ASSAILING THE TARIFF.
Democrats Seem Determined to Force
a Disturbing Isaue.


a Disturbing Issue.
Signs increase that the Democratic
leaders are determined to force the tariff
| Issue to the front in the presidential cam
paign. While Republicans will welcome
the discussion Of this question, well
knowing that it is sure to add many
thousands of votes to their majorities,
they cannot but regret the selection Of
the tariff as the main issue. because Of
the unfortunate influence it VIII have up
ID the business interests of the country
So far this year the presidential cam
paign has not blocked business and inan-
cial activity. Affairs proceed as usual.
In all lines of business there is hope
fulness and confidence which is most en-
couraginc. But If the country is to be
confronted with another visitation Of tar
if revision agitation. with even re-
mote chance Of success in the election,
there is bound 10 be a great slump in
the industrial word and corresponding
depression in all business interests.
II is well remembered what happened
ten years ago, when. as President R0ose-
welt puts ii, "the last attempt was made
by means Of lowering the tariff TO pre-
vent some people from prOspering too
much. The attempt was entirely sue
cessfuL The tariff law Of that year was
among the causes which in that year
and for some time afterwards effectually
prevented anybody from prospering too
much. and labor from prospering at all.
Undoubtedly it would be possible at the
present time to prevent any Of the trusts
from remaining prosperous by the simple
expedient of making such a sweeping
change in the tariff as to paralyze the
industries of the country"
The people Of the United States viii
not soon court again the destruction and
panic Of 1898 Once is enough for one
generation. There will be a tremendous
vote against tariff legislation by the
Democrats.
The confidence of the country may
stand even throughout a tariff revision
campaign. hat it IS risking a good deal
to raise that issue in the manner con
They, however. have every |
thing 10 gain and nothing to lose. They
have got to have something to stand
1pon. and complete failure in every other
attack made upon the Republican posi-
.ion has driven them upon the tariff as
4 standing outpost Of Republication
which can always be assaiied, when
lothing else affords q convenient target

Some of the landmarks Of historic
legislation created during President
Roosevelt's administration are: On TIL,
law for the civil government Of the Phil
ppiues; o. Corporate legislation. chief
of which is that creating the Department
of Commerce and Labor, with broad
powers which. in the nature of things.
must steadily grow; a. Cuban reciproc-
ity, comforting material benefits on both
Cuba and the United States: IA. The
treaty and laws that make the Panama
canal certainty; o. The law for the
irrigation Of the arid lands OF the greaf
West.
Against these accomplished results dur-
ing one administration OF the party that
does things, the Democratic party has
nothing to offer blt empty words and

THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
A Man of Action, Who Can Be Relied

n Man OF Action Who Can BE Relied
on in Emergencies.
Theodore Roosevelt occupies a unique
position in the estimation of the Ameri-
can people. 1t is not that other men in
public life are not honest or earnest or
incorruptible-.hese qualities are not
rare. 1t is that Mr.. Roosevelt combines
them in an unusual way. He is possess
ed of great physical vitality and mental
energy; be has of his own taste and his
own motion entered into various Occu-
pationS that have put him in touch and
sympathy with all classes of men. high
and low. When he was a ranchman he
made the cowboys his friends 50 thar
when he became a soldier they clamOred
TO be of his regiment He became Police
Commissioner in New York, not for "the
money there was in it," as was the Gus
tom in New York. but to see that certain
abuses were remedied. They were rem
edied in spite OF the opposition of other
members Of the board. He became As
'lstaut Secretary of the Navy in order
'o carry ont certain plans of naval pro
sress. He enlisted in the Spanish war
from patriotic motives and made a rec
ord. He was elected Governor Of New
York on account of his public services
and was nominated for Vice President
against his own wishes for the same
reason. In all these positions and as
President Of the United States he has
done his duty fearessly and honestly.
The people have learned to regard him
as man of action; as a man who does
things, and who can be relied on in an
emergency. In common phrase he IS
regarded as a man who will do to tie
