brought to the laboring man by real
son OF protection. But what are
the facts? The laborlng man today
finds himself in position more
acute than ever before. He faces a
cruel situation. He finds the neces-
stiles OF life more than 100 per cent.
higher than they were before the
enactment OF the Dingley law, while
his wages have only been advanced
from 10 to 20 per cent. He now
faces the situation OF having his
wages cut. while the necessities of
life remain the same. Where his
wages have not been cut he must
work on half time. He is simply
between Scylla and Charybidis.
The plank OF the Republican
platform which declares for revision
is insincere upon its face. The in
CAPABILITIES OF which Mr.. Taft has ad-
vised the country have existed since
the enactment OF the law. It seems
as II the party is afraid OF tariff re
vision and believes that Il would af-
feet the country on the eve OF 4
presidential election and thus en-
danger the election of the Republi
can nominee Therefore the ques-
ton seems to be a matter of policy
as against the best interests of the
country. But "the devil never knew

lnsincerity! Isn't this enough
TO make one smile? If the Repub-
lican party is in earnest about

now? Both houses have RepubIi-

make a question OF so great import-

In his desperation the editor NJ

SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1908.

The Democratic papers who are
hghting Mr.. Bryan's nomination
claim that they are doing so in the
interest OF the party. and because
his nomination would mean defeat
while more conservative man
would lead the party to victory The
same papers made this plea four
years ago. which resulted in the
nomination of Judge Parker. Such
papers as the New York World and
Harper's Weekly should remember
That they procured the candidate of
their choice in 1904, for Judge Par
ker was a conservative of conserya-
tives. Judge Parker was a man OF
recognized ability and whose charac-
ter was above reproach. He was
exactly the kind of man the entire
anti-Bryan element declared would
lead to victory. But his failure was
much more disastrous than that OF
Mr.. Bryan.
In 1896 the shifting Of a few
votes would have elected Mr.. BRYAN
over Mr.. Mckinley. The total vote
cast for Mckinley and Bryan was.
In round numbers, for Mckinley.
100000; for Bryan, 100000.
making a total vote cast of 1860
600. In 1900 the vote for McKin-
ley was 100000. for Bryan $500
90; total. 13.56O.GOO. In 1904 the
vote for Roosevelt was 1900. 900:
Tor Parker 100000. Notwith-
standing the increase of population
from 1896 to 1904 Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived 100000 more votes than
Parker did eight years later. In
1900 Mr.. Bryan received 1890. 900
more votes than did Parker in 1904.
Mr.. Bryan represents the great
masses and his honesty, personalitr
and ability appeals to the people as
no other candidate. All such talk
as nominating man of the stamr
OF Judge Gray is out of the cues
ton. Judge Gray. like plenty OF
other Democrats, is a man who
would make a most excellent presi-
uent, but his election would be n
matter of impossibllity.
