Republican Threaten Panic.
l cannot pass from this part of my
subject, without calling attention to
1.-THE fact that Secretary Taft has al
lowed himself to be drawn into the
use Of an argument which the bene-
ficiaries of protection have been en-
ploying for a generation. Speaking of
the gradual substitution of a revenue
tariff for the protective system, he
says in his notification speech:
THE introduction in power Of a
party with this avawed purpose can
not but halt the gradual recovery
from our recent financial depression
and produce business disaster, COM
pared with which our recent panic
and depression will seem small in
deed"
Here is a threat OF a panic If the
Republican party is not retained in
power. This panic argument was
worked overtime in 1896, but I am
surprised hat a Republican refers to
it in the present campaign.
We have had three panics since
the Republican party was born; the
panic of 1873, the panic of 1898 and
the panic of 1907. The panic of 1873
came after the Republican party had
been in complete control of the fed
eral government for twelve years,
and eleven years before our party sue
ceeded in securing control of the ex-
e~cutive branch OF the government.
The startling panic and depression"
of 1873 occurred in the very midst of
Republican rule, just after a Repub-
lican victory, and under a high tariff.
Is it not strange that Secretary Taft
should forget this panic, when he
warns us to beware of any departure
from the protective system?
The panic of 1907 came after the
had been in complete
Of the federal government for
more than ten years. They had had |
an opportunity to do everything that
wanted to do n undo every
b a needed t be undone, and
were under such a high tariff that
even Secretary Taft admitted the
necessity of revision. This panic was
so a that banks felt it necessary
o do something that they had never
lone before, namely, arbitrarily lin

ton of wages. A reduction of the tar
if will reduce the extortion that is
now practiced because of the high
schedules; a reduction in price will
enable more people to buy, and this
larger demand for the goods will put
more people to work and increase
the number of industries. A lower
price will greatly stimulate exporta-
ton, and manufacturers who are now
crippled by a tariff upon what they
use will be better prepared to enter
the contest for supremacy in the
worlds trade.

The Income Tax.
The Democratic party has declared
for an income tax as a part of the
revenue system, and for a constitu-
tional amendment as a means of Sc

which will avoid the objections rails

income tax is desirable, surely Score.
tary Taft annOt consistently oppose
the adoption of a constitutional amend
ment, If the principle is right and the
tax wise, Congress ought to have
authority to levy n collect such a
tax, and no supporter of Secretary
Taft can oppose our position without
dissenting from the Republican candi-
date.
The whole aim of our party is to
secure justice in taxation. We be-
lieve that each individual should con-
tribute to the support of the govern
in proportion to the benefits
which he receives under the protee-
ton of the government. We believe
a revenue tariff, approached gra-
dually, according to the plan laid
in our platform, will ~equalize
burdens of taxation, and that the
addition of an income tax will make
still more equitable. If the

Electricity and the Soil.

Electricity takes the nitrogen out of
the air and fertilizes the earth with it.
Thus the problem of renewing the soil
has been solved. Ten years ago Sir
William Crooks pointed out that the
world soon would be starving unless
some way could be found of restoring
to the soil the nitrogen extracted by
the growing cereals. All the nitrate
supplies stored in the earth, so far as
known to be valuable, will form only a
temporary and limited renewal of fer
tility. But there is plenty of nitrogen
in the air. Several years ago a small
plant was built at Nottoden, Norway.
where electricity generated by water
power was used in the production of
nitrate of lime and nitrate of soda
from the atmosphere.
The process was found to be eco
nomical, and there was a ready mar
ket for all the fertilizer thus produced.
Now a new plant has been built, using
the Tinfos waterfall as power for the
generation of electricity, and French
capitalists have obtained a concession
for another plant at the Rjukanfos,
This is one of the greatest waterfalls
and the dam to be constructed will
supply the plant with ~250, OOO-horse
power The inexhaustibla supplies of
nitrogen in the air will furnish fertility
to the soil as long as the world lasts.
The process, simply described, is the
electrical combustion of the air and
the fixation of the nitrates.
