Ex-Congressman William ID. Bynum,

Mr.. Bynum 1.-THE fact Is the conser-

he were candidate for the presidency

necessarily advantageous and it may be
positively disadyantageous.
For example. Connecticut produces
cutlery and New Jersey produces pot

with cutlery and New Jersey supplies
Connecticut with pottery.

Suppose. further. that under a condi

cutlery for French pottery.
In such case France gains what New
Jersey has lost.
The exports will show a gain Of

pense of New Jerseys labor and pro

The political battle of 1908 will be-
gin n September. Now therefore, IS
the time for Republicans to take their
bearings.
The country, thanks to Republican
policies, is exuberantly prosperous.
Never before, in this or any other coun-
try, has the average well being of the
people been so great as it is in the
American republic to-day.
Whatever the incidental evils of this
prosperity, no sane American wishes to
see it stopped. However any man may
resent the prosperity of some neigh
Dor, he desires prosperity for himself.
Every patriotic citizen wishes to get rid
of the evils, but also to keep the pros
perity.
Vice President Fairbanks, Speaker
Cannon. Secretaries Root, Shaw and
Taft. and Senator Foraker, the Repub-
licans who will lead the fight next fall,
are all men who think on much the
same line.
Their line of thought Is that we
should first preserve national prosper
ity-without ignoring its incidental
eviIs-but first preserve prosperity. The
main thought of Mr.. Bryan and SIR.
Hearst lit is hard to recall any other
Democrats of national dimensions rs
that we should give first attention to
the evils and let prosperity take care
of itself.
Fairbanks or Cannon or Root or
Shaw or Taft or Foraker-some one of
this group-will almost certainly be the
Republican standard bearer in 1908.
These men and men like them will have
to bear the burden of 190S-will have
to stand against the Bryan Hearst
proposition that it is more important
to kill the rats than to save the barn
will have to stand for the Republican
proposition that 1t IL of first importance
to save the barn and then to kill the
rats.
Hence 1t Is necessary that Republi-
cans should now prepare to give these
men whom they have made their lead
ers.a platform on which they can stand
fast and from which they can fight
effectively-should assure them and all
sane Americans that the Republican
party is not now and never will be

ten years ago, will be conspicuous by
Its absence.

Mr.. Bryan has seemed to grow also
by the mere operation of time and dis

leaders. The task of getting the Demo-
cratic party upon any line that hope

could follow has become so impossible
that it has been given up in despair
and disgust Mr.. Bryan is about the
only Democratic leader with any con-

left in the country. He is the only
Democrat of national dimensions.
Over and above all, however, Mr.
