A Democratic Contradiction.

The following is an interesting illus
tration of the way Democrats say
things they don't believe, or the way
they let a few of their members of
ficially express for them as a collec-
tive whole views that later on they
can unofficially and individually repu-
date.
- The Democratic platform says:
1--WE DENOUNCE PROTECTION AS
A ROBBERY OF THE MANY TO EN-.
RICH THE FEW"
James ]. Walsh, chairman of the
Democratic state committee Of Con
necticut, says. according to Raymond
of the Chicago Tribune: mo ONE BE
LTEVES IN FREE TRADE NOW
ADAYS, IF FOR NO OTHER REA-
SON THAN BECAUSE THE TARIFF
is THE EASIEST WAY OF RAILS
ING REVENUE, AND THE TAXA-
TION IS FELT LESS THAN BY
ANY OTHER SYSTEM"

Nobody Scared.

Parker says if he is elected he will
cut off the old soldiers age disability
pension by revoking order rs. But the
old soldiers don't seem to be the least
bit scared!
Parker says he is in favor Of pro.
ceeding with due diligence in CON
structing the Panama canal, but he
thinks the Rooseveltw way was source
of regret to many" But RooseT cit is
not troubled.
And Parker says that the manage
ment of our foreign affairs has "e-
cited serious apprehension" in some
quarters. But the American people
are not among the apprehensive.
Then Parker is in a bad way about
imperialism, but the citizens of the
United States only smile when they
hear that word.
Also, Parker is distressed over the
poor Filipinos, but the Filipinos con-
tinue to learn to read, write and

Democratic Tariff Revision.

How does the Democratic party pro-
pose to deal with the tariff? Does it
say: I'VE assent to the principle of
protection and ask the people of the
United States to commit to our hands
the revision of the tariff in conformity
with that principles" Far from it. 1t
avows its unrelenting hostility to the
principle Of protection and asks the
people to put in its hands the revision
of the tariff in order that it may re-
wise protection out Of it and repeat
the experiment of Grover Clevelands
second administration. According to
Mr. Gompers, president of the Ameri-
can Fedora ton of Labor, that admin
istration put 100000 American work
ingmen to walking the streets and
without bread for their families. That
is the kind of tariff reform revision
the Democratic party proposes.

THEY WILL HAVE THEIR SAY
The Plain People and Their Candidate 70,
President.

1t is about time that the plain people
had their say; the farmers, mechanics,
railroad men, storekeeperS, sailors,
teamsters and general workers all
along the line of American industrial
life.
These men are tired Of the ceaseless
adulation given to the fortunate few;
tired of the neglect in which the for
tunate many are left. The fortunate
few are the accumulators of vast
wealth and corresponding houses,
lands, and the appearance of ease. The
fortunate many are the workers who
live in comfort, but do not have race
horses, yachts or automobiles to kill
time, yet these last named fortunate
men want to be heard in the councils
of the nation. They are determined to
have president who respects and
cares for the plain people, one who has
declared and who has lived up to the
declaration that EACH MAN NO
NATTER WHAT HIS OCCUPATION,
HIS RACE, OR HIS RELIGIOUS
BELIEF, is ENTITLED TO BE
TREATED ON HIS WORTH AS A
MAN, IN ANY AND ALL PLACES
UNDER ANY AND ALL CONSIDER
ATIONS."
That is the kind of democracy which
Is real-not name merely. 1t is the
democracy of the first citizen of the
United States, a man born into the Re-
publican party, a consistent Republic
an all his life and one who puts to
shame the injustice and inhumanity of
the party which calls itself Democrat
fc." This man of common sense, justice
and Christian brotherhood is Theodore
Roosevelt, our president now. and our
president to be until 1908.
The plain people will have a chance
to speak out loudly early next Novem-
Der. AnC they will give no uncertain
sound when their day comes. They
will elect their man by such a majority
as will aStOniSh the world

RURAL FREE DELIVERY
Republicans Alone Deserve Credit for In
As F augurating the service.

augurating the service.
a When Democrats assert that their
PARTY is the father of rural free de-
livery, they willfully misstate the facts.
It is charity to call their assertion a
plain falsehood, for it Is deliberate
lie, uttered with the intention to de-
ceive many persons. Rural free deliv-
cry had it's origin under the Harrison
administration. and Postmaster Gen.
eral Wanamaker was it's father" He
proposed and established the first ex-
perimental route. When the Demo-
Gratis came into power, under President
Cleveland. they did everything posi-
BILE to kill rural free delivery; in
fact, they absolutely refused to eXpend
any of the $4,000 congressional appro-
priation for it's nourishment, and both
POstmasters General Bissell and Will
son, in their annual reports, did their
utmost to discredit it. President Cleve-
land also threw cold water ON it in
hostile message to congress. When Nc
Kinley became president, rural free de-
livery was pushed to the front as Re
publican policy This policy has been
continued under President Roosevelt,
until now there are about 27,5CO routes
in operation. No farmer need be de-
ceived by Democracys false claims,
for the record shows that to Republic
ans alone belong the credit of inau-
gurating and fostering a mail service
that is of incalcuiable benefit to rural
communities

WHY Does Parker Object

The Democratic presidential candi-
date says, in substance, that President
Roosevelt advocates violent methods
Of diplomacy; that is, he has departed
from the old style, believes in a
straightforward expression Of exact
ly what the attitude of this nation is,
and does not hesitate to say that this
nation is quite prepared to take care Of
itself.
Well, what would you have? Are
we not great nation, practically COW
ering with our Canadian brothers, a
great continent and quite prepared,
not merely to suggest but to assist in
the affairs Of the world? And is it
not a duty?
Why does eX-Judge Parker, David
Bennett Hills ex-political manager,
object to this?
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1904-10-27

Democratic legislation has never
erected a factory, or given working
man a job, or increa sed his wages Or
the contrary it has put out factory
fires that Republican legislation had
lighted; it has closed mills that Repub-
lican legislation had opened, and it has
taken jobs from thousands Of working
men to whom Republican legislat ton
had given employment. No American
workingman owes anything to the
Democratic party.

Boss Patrick FL. McCarren has indi-
rectIy conceded that Roosevelt will car
~ New York by $4,000 to 10000. In
discussing what should be the proper
betting odds between Higgins and Her
rick, candidates for governor of New
York. he said, it was an even thing
and Immediately thereafter in answer
to another question claimed that Hig
gins would run 10000 or 10000 behind
Roosevelt. Putting two and two to-
gether would indicate that there is no
doubt in the boss mind how New
York will go in the national election.

"There is very broad distinc-
ton between the unlimited issue
of silver as a currency and it's
! limited use; a distinction which
the advocates of unlimited coin
age in their extraordinary zeal
seem to fail to perceive. The re-
suit, sir, which would flow from
T the two policies of limited and
unlir,ited coinage would be quite
T divergent" - Senator Fairbanks
/ in the Senate, March 5, 1900.

Tom Watson finds in the visit of
ex-senator Jones of Arkansasto Esopus
occasion for this fine burst of pity for
the Democratic candidate: Poor
Parker! His burdens were already
heavy. Too much Cleveland, too much
Hill, too much Belmont, too much Nc
Carren, too many Sights put on Tom
Taggart. too much German, too much
Juggling with the old English language,
too much foxiness generally-but when
Jones of Arkansas rolled up, we could
almost see the same old pick and spade
and shovel with which he dug the
graves for the Democratic national can
didate in the memorable campaigns Of
1896 and 1900" In truth, it was hard
that the judge should have to endure
a visit from the first Democratic ma
tioral grave digger month previous
to his political decease.

Since 1896, the last year of Demo-
cratic administration in national af-
fairs, the rate Of interest on farm mort
cages has fallen from per cent. to 6.
This reduction in the rate of interest
means a great deal to farmers who
borrow money to buy more land or 20
make Improvements, and it is due to
Republican prosperity.

ably in full bodily vigor and not

If there is a citizen of the United
States anywhere who has too much
business and too much employment
and longs for the stagnation that pre-
vailed from 1898 to 1896, he can con-
tribute to that end by voting the Dem
scratic ticket this year.

Confidence in Roosevelt,

Not all public men who are popular
enjoy public confidence in the same de-
gree. People may say of a public man,
II admire him for his brilliancy and re-
sourcefulness, but l am not sure that
his motives are altogether disinterest-
ed" No person speaks that way of
President Roosevelt. People not only
admire his ability and resourcefulness,
but they have absolute confidence i'm
his integrity, in the purity of his mo-
tives and in his determination to ad-
minister the government in the interest
of the whole people. That being the
case, why not re-elect him and con-
gress that will hold up his hands?
Why vote to remove tried and faith
full public servant, Or for a congress
man who would try to tie his hands
and embarrass his administration?

The question as to where Judge
Parker would apply the pruning knife
to national expenditures, whether in
the postoffice department, the army,
the navy or on pensions-items cover
ing more than so per cent. of the ma
tional expenditures-ha not been an
swered, and won't be, because nation
al honor, safety and mail facilities
are dependent on the appropriations
for these purposes.
