Never swap horses while crossing
a stream" This trite and homely ad-
monition of "Old Abe" Lincoln will be
followed by the voters Of Pennsylva-
MIA at the coming election, when they
will roll up tremendous majority for
the party of protection and prosperity.
Reports from every county in the
commonwealth show that the great
body of Pennsylvanans the farmers,
the merchants and the wage earners
in all the big industrial centers are
determined to vote for Taft and Sher-
man and indorse the platform of the
Republican party.
Bryan is making tariff reduction,
which to the Democrats means their
old slogan of free trade, the para
mount issue of his campaign.
In doing that he is striking directly
at Pennsylvania. at Pennsylvania la
Dor, at Pennsylvania capital and at
Pennsylvania's vast natural resources,
her coal, her iron, her cement AMI her
various other interests.
No Free Trade For Pennsylvania.
The Keystone state has acquired
her enviable position as the most
prosperous and wealthiest state in the
Union under the Republican party's
administration OF state and national
affairs, and to no other policy does she
owe more than to that OF the protec-
tive tariff.
The present onslaught Of Bryanism
upon the tariff has aroused a feeling
of indignation and alarm in every
quarter of this state.
Just as confidence is being restored,
as orders for manufactured products
are coming in and mills are starting
up. coke ovens and blast furnaces are
being lighted and the textile and all
manner of industrial establishments
are resuming operations, after TEN
porary cessation. along comes Bryan
with his Trades against the protective
tariff. He is serving notice upon capi-
tai and labor alike that in the event
of his election revolutionary tactics
may be looked for to the inevitable
destruction of the interests of the
wage Garner and the manufacturer, to
the granger, the dairyman, the mine
worker and all classes of citizens of
this state whose happiness and liveli-
hood depend upon the administration
, of the national government under safe
and sane and well established policies.
I Taft's Nomination Brought Confidence.
No reasonable man has attempted
to charge TO the Republican party re-
sponsbiity for the recent disturb
ance in business and momentary halt
in the march of progress.
But every one who stops to consider
the revival of confidence. the resump-
ton OF commercial and industrial ac-
tiyities and the universal predictions
of a renewal Of good times, cannot but
attribute these conditions to the pOpu-
lar belief that the election Of Taft and
Sherman and the continuance Of the
Republican party in control of the
federal government means an assur-
| ance of national prosperity.
To Promote American Patriotism.
The patriotism and sturdy Ameri-
canism of the administration Of Theo-
! dore Roosevelt, all know, will be ac-
centuated with Judge William Howard
| Taft in the White House. and the
| prestige that has been added to "Old
Glory" by the vigorous Rooseveltian
! policies will never be detracted from
by any act of the distinguished son of
Ohio who is now the Republican
| standard-bearer.
! The vital concern which every Penn
| sylvanian must have in the present
| campaign was emphasized by United
! States Senator Boies Penrose in his
recent speech before the Republicans
| Of Lehigh county, when he made the
! tariff the principal feature of his ad-
! dress.
Penrose On the Tariff
Senator Penrose, among other
! things, said
This is pre-eminently an age the
world over OF commercial, Industrial
md agricultural development. The
| United States leads in all these forms
Of activity. We are today admittedly
the leading nation of the world, and
| our progress in the past and the pros
| pect of development in the future are
| beyond precedent in the history of civ
! iliZation
