SPEECHES or PRESIDENT RoosE-
WELT AND SPEAKER CANNON.
Alike In the Address Of. Notification
and In the Response Thereto, the
Predomlnance Of the TarlM Cues.
ton 10 Distinctly Recognized.

The two speeches delivered at Oys-
ter Bay on the 9th Of July, 1904. first
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 nominationha set
tied the question as to what Is the
\ dominant issue In this years cam
paign. II 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. II
has been made the issue by the plain
words alike Of the authorized spokes-
man Of the Republican party and Of
the candidate chosen BY the unani-
nous action Of the Republican party.
III 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
81 the Republican party In Its rela-
tion to the shaping Of events and pol
icies, Mr.. Cannon said: s
Under the lead Of the Republican
party for over forty years the United
States, from being third-class DOW
er among the nations has become ia
every respect first The people rule.
The people ruling, 1t Is necessary that
they should be competent to rule.
Competency requires not only patriot
ism, but material well-being, educa-
tion and statecraft.
1.-THE people, under the lead Of the
Republican party, wrote upon the stat
ute books revenue laws, levylng taxes
upon the products Of foreign countries
seeking our markets, which replen-
ished our treasury. but were 50 ad-
justed as to encourage our people in
developing, diversifying and maintain
ing our industries. at the Same time
protecting our citizens laboring IN pro-
duction against the competition Of for
eign labor. Under this policy our man
ufactured product to-day Is one-third
Of the product Of the civilized world.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1904-09-16

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 III
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 IL 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 Both Of June. 1904,
our exports to foreign countries were
valued at s1,4OO0O0,000. Of which
$45O,000. 900 were products Of the fac
tory. The world fell in our debt last
year s470.OOO,o0O, an increase Of $75.-
100000 over the preceding year.
This policy Of protection has al
ways been opposed by the opponents
of the Republican party, and is op-
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, hav-
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, majority may change our cur
rency laws; a majority may de-
stroy the gold standard and establish
the silver standard, or, in lieu Of Ell
ther or both. make the treasury note,
non-interest bearing and irredeem-
able, the sole standard Of value.

STILL CHASING HIMSELF.

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 ii 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 the
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 1t as rob
berry" Of the many for the benefit OF
the few. No matter II 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:
I'VE 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 reel
procity in products which compete
with American industry and labor. It
is a safe rule. 1t is the only Repub-
lican rule as laid down by the ma.
tional Republican convention of 1904.
It was what President Mckinley
meant at Buffalo in 1901. It is what
President Roosevelt means now. It is
also what the Republican party means
all the time. =

This was doubtless the general YER

Of nearly every one was sentiment
Of pity for Mrs. Stage, that she should
have on her hands such white Gle

we're tranquilized, Emma felt far
from easy In the company Of Uncle

dispelied by a nights sleep In map

next two days. a. the end Of which he
was to take his leave, she was not
averse to allowing Eleanor to appro-
pirate him to her hearts content,
though she insisted on accompanying
him on preliminary drive, and
pointing out to him precisely to
whom every house OF Importance
along the shore belonged. Then she
became willing to let Eleanor sit be-
side him IN the back seat OF the
wagonnette, while she got In front
with Harold, with a glowing con-
seriousness Of duty performed. From
the censeless fow OF words, It was
evident to her that they were enjoy
Ing themselves. Every now and
then she caught q word that made her
prick up her ears and perhaps give
Harold a nudge II the subject were
especially serious or abtrusiye. Nor
did they seem ever to get to the end
or what they had to say; when they
were not driving they were strolling
through the woods, or climbing over
the rocks, as much absorbed In each
others society as two young lovers.
Emma reflected that II she would only
appear more like that when she was
with Owen Page. there would be no
cause for anxiety.
Professor Baldwin, on the morning
Of his departure, took leave Of his
hostess with show Of deep respect
that was pleasing to Emma. TO his
thanks for her hospitality, he added
some enthusiastic words, out Of his
niece's hearing. as to Eleanor's
charms.
If my brother were alive. he would
say that he could have done. no more
himself; and / thank you and your
husband, ma'am. for your goodness

For an instant, the thought crossed
her mind that Eleanor might have
confided in him, but she dismissed II
as improbable. Still she felt that she
looked little conscious as she re-
piled, with slightly mysterious unc.
ton:

Baldwin. We will take care that she
