stop their engines entirely and drift past.
Tuesday morning, as the big steamer st.
Johns was leaving the harbor, the space
between the dredge and the warship was
almost closed up by the swing of the
dredge. The steamer was coming down with
a fair speed and In order to obtain room

voice in the control and management
Of your government or whether you
will vote it out Of your possession
for all time.
For | tell you my friends with it's
history of graft, political debauchery
and wrong doing fresh before us
and with the recent examples in both
State and National legislatures of the
evils of political Bossism and Gov
ernmental favoritism as exemplifed
by the republican state machine and
the subservience with which the
Pennsylvania delegation at Washing
ton has bowed to the will of this ma
chine if it does not now deserve
and receive fitting rebuke at the
polls, justice will have miscarried and
American citizenship and American
patriotism become but an empty
thing.
The Centralized Power of the Trusts
For years We have decried the cen
tralization of political power within
the hands of few men, but not with
standing our watchful alarm we have
seen this mighty octupus grow, and
grow and grow until it now hangs
like the shadow of rebellion over a
land Of free people. Free in person
al liberty, free to breathe the air and
drink the water that God has given
us, free to eat If we can work long
enough hours to buy the food, but un-
der a political bondage which neith-
er hears nor knows any voice but
the voice and command of the trust
and a financial bondage which now
has the power to determine how
much each man may earn and how
much each man shall spend-the
power to say to the working man we
will advance your wages 10 per cent.
and the cost of your food and clothing
and household supplies 20 per cent.
The power to say to the farmer and
home owner you must pay the
taxes to support our schools and poor,
and defray the expenses of govern

stance our present tariff laws. Born
in their inception of desire to pro-
tect certain home industries and to
provide revenue to meet the running
expenses of Government we find In
many instances that changed condi-
tiOns have converted what was orr
ginally thought blessing into bur-
den. Let me cite you briefly to one
or two specific cases which show
such a fragrant abuse Of Government
tai protection in the interest of IA
vored class as against the whole peo-
pie, of sufficient importance to be an
issue in this campaign and sufficient
to illustrate the need for tariff revis-
ion along certain lines
Lumber.
Ten years ago we were buying
hemlock lumber on board cars at the
mill for $1,000 per thousand. Today
the ruling price is $4,000 per thousand
on car at the mill for the same kind
of lumber We find by comparison
that the average wage rate paid to
mill men and woodsmen to be prac-
tically the same in wages as it was
ten years ago, with exceptional cases
of advance in wages that do not ex-
ceed an average in wage rate
of 10 per cent. Now who pays this
increased cost and who receives this
enormous sum of money represented
by an annual sale of thirty-five thou
sand million feet and clear profit of
$3.50, 100000.
Monopolies of Our Natural Resources.
In all countries there are three d.
rect sources of natural productive
wealth. The coal, mineral and oil
the earth's surface; the
farm production and real estate val
ues of the earth's surface, and the
virgin forests of standing timber. In
each article We find a necessity-we
must have fuel, we must have oil, we
must have food, we must have lum-
Der to build our homes, our mills and
