Injunction. Restrain Capital.

81 am against those guerillas who
would destroy this most vital writ of
conscience. The court of equity is the
keeper of the peoples conscience and
the writ of injunction is it's most valu-
able power. 1t prevents the digging
of a ditch that will damage adjacent
property; compels railroads to furnish
cars. 1t stays the hands of lawless
corporations from committing acts,
which once done would work an injury
that could not be amended. Under the
plan of the opposition you take the
bride off for lawless wealth and bid it
run wild. Scores more Of injunctions
have been issued against capital than
against labor. Name me one and I will
name you at least 100 against capital"

THE SUPREME COURT.
Choice Of President Will Involve
Far-Reaching Consequences.

Choice Of President Will Involve
Far-Reaching Consequences.
(From Gov. Hughes Youngstown
specify
Not only will the coming election
directly affect the executive branch
OF the government, but it is most i'm
portant in its relation to the judicial
branch. Rarely has the choice of Presi-
dent involved more far-reaching con-
sequences, for it is not improbable that
the next President will appoint at least
four judges of the United States Su-
preme Court. Upon these appointments
will largely depend the quality of the
judicial work Of this great court for
years to come. Congress may pass
laws, but the Supreme Court interprets
and CONSTITUTES them and determines
their validity. The Constitution, with
its guarantees Of liberty and its grants
OF Federal power, is finally what the
Supreme Court determines it to mean.
Upon the learning, wisdom and char
acter Of the judges of the Supreme
Court rests not merely the just de-
termination Of the important matters
Of private right which come before
that august tribunal, but to a very
large degree the course of our politi-
cal history and the development and
security Of our institutions. In view of
the vacancies which in the natural
course Of events will most probably oc-
cur during the next few years we must
remember that we are about to choose
a representative of the people to whom
is confided the nomination of Federal
judges, power second to none pos
sessed by the President, the exercise
of which calls for the highest judg-
ment. If we should search the coun-
try for a delegate Of the people who
could be confidently intrusted with this
important duty it is probable that no
one could command higher confidence
than the Republican candidate for
President. Himself Judge, learned
in the wisdom of the law, he COM
manded the respect and esteem of the
entire bar of the country, without re-
gard to partisan division. By litigants
and lawyers alike it was felt that when
he left his important place upon the
Circuit Court of Appeals to undertake
his difficult duties in the Philippines,
the judicial branch of the government
had sustained most serious loss. And
he has long been regarded as one in
every way worthy to succeed the pres
ent chief justice of the United States
With his fairness and acumen, with
his wide knowledge of the bar from
which the judges must be recruited,
with his broadmindedness and demo-
cratic sympathy and his keen interest
in all that pertains to the welfare of
the people, we may be assured that if
he is selected to perform this duty the
interests of the country will be impair

Of the tariff. On fall suit of clothing,
based on the same figures and cOndi-
lions, the cost would be reduced to the
extent of say q cents or Whereabouts.
This means all-wool clothing, and does
not take into consideration any shoddy
or cotton, which everybody knows is
used extensively in low-priced gar
ments. AS matter of fact all wooden
clothing, or clothing made out of a
mixture Of wool, cotton and shOddy,
never has, and never will, be sold to
the consumer for one penny less under
free wool conditions. Every school boy
knows that the cost of his clothing I'M
der Cleveland's free wool reign was not
one cent reduced by the removal Of the
tariff. Any reduction in the cost Of
wool used in the manufacture of an
ordinary suit of clothing would be so
infinitesimal that any manufacturer,
jobber, wholesaler or retailer would
laugh at the idea of the public saving
anything by the removal of the tariff
on wool. 1t is the veriest nonsense to
consider this proposition for one mo-
ment. We have, for our own satisfac-
ton reduced the possible cost of all
the wooden clothing used in the United
States for one year, providing the sell
ing value of the goods were reduced to
the extent of the reduction in the price
of wool, and it reaches such a ridicu-
lousy low figure that it is not worth
mentioning. Everyone knows that our
manufacturers have to import about
twice the amount of wool we grow in
this country. Under ordinary business
conditions the tariff on wool has kept
the price up to a fair measure Of profit
for the grower. No, gentlemen, we want
no Bryan and free wool.

What New Organism Means.

Reduced down to it's final analysis,
this new Organism is the most danger
Gus fallacy that he has yet advocated
His main argument is that the state
and the national government exact OF
bankers security for public funds, and
therefore that the ordinary depositor
should be likewise secured. The plain
answer is, an individual depositor has
the same right as the government to
require security for his deposits, but
neither the government nor the deposit
or has any right to require one bank
to guarantee a deposit in another
bank."--Oscar S. Straus, Secretary De.

EDWARD ]. MAXWELL.
"New York, Oct. IA, 1905"
| Every Community Has Taft Converts
Efforts of the Buffalo News to ascer-
| tain the sentiment in the smaller towns
of western New York reveal the fact
that in every community are many for
mer Bryan men who declare they will
vote for Taft and the assurance of
prosperity.
Brig. Gen. Horatio G. Gibson, U. S.
A., retired, of Washington, says:
II am a Democrat, but l don't see
how the Democrats can support Mr..
Bryan. He does not seem to stand
for any of the real principles of the
party, and if l had vote for the pres
idency, l certainly should not cast it
for him."
P. L. Jones of Ardmore, Okla, has
written to the Ardmore Statesman, say
ing that although a Democrat, he will
break "a custom that has been fam
lily pride since the Civil War" and will
vote for Taft. Bryan's connection with
Haskell was the last straw for Mr..
Jones.
Frank H. Jones of Chicago, who was
First Assistant Postmaster General for
four years under Mr. Cleveland, said !:
"Mr. Bryan favors the guaranteeing
of bank deposits and has committed
the Democratic party in it's platform
and in his public speeches to this I'M
sound and dangerous doctrine. 1t must
be admitted that ON economic .Ques-
lions affecting the farmer, the me-
chanic. business and country generally,
either Mr.. Bryan is dangerously I'M
sound or he is willing to mislead the
people and threaten their prosperity
by advocating measures he knows to be
unsound, merely because for the mo-
ment his views seem popular.
II do not want to see the prosperity
of this country threatened by unsOund
experimental policies such as Mr.. Bry-
ans past career proves he is too prone
to indulge in.
Business confidence must be main
tanned, the factories kept busy and
labor employed and the farmer must
not be disturbed in the prosperity he
is now enjoying.
1.-The calm, forceful, intelligent and
conservative attitude of Mr.. Taft i'll
all of the important questions affecting
the public good assures us of continued
progress.

If Bryan Should BE Elected.

(From the Philadelphia Ledger, Ind. }
Two letters have been received from
readers who touch on the intensely
practical aspects of the campaign. A
business man wishes to know what, in
all human probability, would become of
business and Of our wonted and desired
prosperity if, perchance Bryan and a
Bryan administration should be chosen,
and blunt, intelligent workingman,
whose letter is too long for publication,
says that there is 'lot of blather" in
politics, and he would like to know
what the ordinary skilled workman is
to ''get" if Bryan is elected and what
Taft has to Offer"
Those two inquiries embody a large
part of the pertinent question for the
mass of the nation, and the gist of the
answer may be given in a few words !:
If Taft be elected there will be rest, re-
cuperation, confidence and prosperity ;
if Bryan be elected there will be acute
danger of unrest, lack of confidence
and uncertainty at least for long time,
and the probability Of prolongation
of resuscitation of that stagnation from
which the country is now by slow, la
bored and painful effort beginning to
recover.
The country is just beginning to re-
cover from the industrial paralysis.
The crops are passing fair; the people
of the nation are rich; our institutions
are all sound; every known factor and
material influence concerned in the re-
turn of immediate, Astounding, astound-
ing activity and prosperity is present
save only-complete restoration of con-
fidence The only known or conceivable
influence which acts to retard manufac-
turing and general industrial operations
and the full employment of all work
ers at this time is the lingering politi-
cal unrest and the knowledge that a
presidential campaign must be held be-
fore the atmosphere is finally cleared,
so that "cowardly capital" will trust its
head forth again from its safe deposit

MISSIONARIES CAPABLE
AND EARNEST
Taft Speaks Well of Mission Work
in Orient,

In orient.
Reference to the recent flattering in
terview about Mr.. Taft by Bishop Bash
ford of the NJ. e. Church in China led
the candidate into a talk of missions.
He referred to book written by DR..
G. e. Morrison, of the London Times,
in which the missionaries are criticised
as not being Of real use, and sighting
reference Is made to Rice Christians"
These, as Mr.. Taft explained, are the
natives who are said to pretend to be-
come converts only to enjoy the bounty
of the missions.
"My own observations in the Orient"
said Mr. Taft, lead me to believe that
DR.. Morrisons criticisms are not jus
titled. The missions are the outposts
of our western civilization in China and
the other Oriental countries, and l have
found the missionaries an earnest and
capable lot of people. 1t was because of
my observations Of the good done by
them in the East that our government
established clubs on the Isthmus OF
Panama, and put Y. NJ. G. A. secretaries
in charge We also employed seven
preachers, Protestant and Catholic, who
have built up churches. There are per.
haps 10000 white people and 10000
others brought from the West Indies in
the canal zone. 1t was absolutely neces.
sary that something Of this kind be
done to prevent the pernicious effects
of vice, which grows luxuriantly there

Bryan's -Denunciatfon of Hughes.

About this time in a presidential con-
test partisan speakers run emptyings
AS melancholy instance of this behold
Mr.. Bryan denouncing Gov. Hughes as
the hacker of trusts! No man in Amer
lean life is more clearly entitled to
credit as the defender of the rights of
the people than the governor of the
Empire state. He is reformer who
has achieved results without talking
everybody to death. 1t may be added
that the voter who wants to get at the
real fact in the closing weeks of such a
contest as is now in progress, when
each side is busy misrepresenting the
other, must dig them out for himself
and very often, too, the aforesaid voter
is too mad to do it !-Springfield Re-

REPUBLICAN
PLAN RATIONAL.
Noted Financial Expert Advises
Against Inconsidered Action.
All Glasses Interested in Establish
ing Sound Banking System.

Victor Morawetz, recognized as an
expert upon financial and economic
questions, says the Bryan bank deposit
guarantee plan would encourage wild
cat" banking. These are excerpts from
recent article written on the subject
by Mr.. Morawetz:
If it were true that the adoption of
this plan would make all deposits in
national banks equally safe and there
by would inspire confidence in all ma
tiOnal bank deposits, as Mr.. Bryan
claims the plan would prove direct
encouragement to wildcat" banking
and would prove disastrous in the long
run. 1t would enable spectators or
inexperienced persons to form bank
with small capital and to obtain large
deposits on the strength of the guar
anty, by offering higher rates of inter
est to depositors than conservatively
managed bank could afford to pay and
they could then use these deposits in pro-
noting speculative or unsound ventures.
They would only risk the loss of the
small capital which they contrib
uted and their individual liability for
an equal amount. If their speculations
should succeed, they would reap large
profits, but if their Speculations should
fail and the money obtained from de-
positors be wasted, the sound banks
would have to bear the loss.

The Republican party proposes to
deal with this banking question in a
rational, conservative manner. Having
regard to the difference between savings
deposits and those commercial deposit
liabilities which are merely bank cred
it's created as a means of carrying on
the business of the country, the Repub-
lican party proposes to establish sys-
tenn of postal savings banks so that the
people everywhere throughout the
country can deposit their savings with
absolute safety. A proposal has also
been made, and, no doubt, will be con-
sidered by Congress, of authorizing the
national banks to establish savings de-
partments to be managed, under the SUI
pervision of the Comptroller of the Cur
rency, according to the most approved
methods of managing savings banks.
The Republican party recognizes that
the United States should have. the
soundest and safest system of banking
and currency that can be devised, and
to that end Republican Congress has
appointed national commission, con-
sisting of Senators and Representatives
of both the political parties. That COM
mission is now considering the subject
in all it's bearings, and after holding
public hearings will make it's recon-
mendations to Congress at the earliest
opportunity.

All Glasses Equally Interested.

All classes Of the people and all Sec
lions of the country are equally inter-
ested in establishing our system Of
banking and currency upon the sound
est possible basis. The welfare of the
entire country depends upon sound
and practical system Of banking and
currency, and the only patriotic course
is to eliminate all party feeling and
politics from the consideration Of this
great subject. We know that the pres
ent system is not perfect and should be
improved, but we know also that we
have prospered under this system and
that there is no such pressing need for
a change as to warrant hasty or i'll
considered action. This plan of guar
anteeing bank deposits undoubtedly will
be considered with the utmost care by
the National Monetary Commission, and
if the plan can stand careful analysis
and scrutiny it will be adopted by Con-
gress whether the government be con-
trolled by Republicans or Democrats.
But it would be wrong-ineXcusably
wrong-to treat this great and difficult
question of finance as a question of
party politics, to be dealt with by popu-
lar vote in the heat Of presidential
campaign. Surely the American people
will not make this far-reaching change
in their banking system and try this
dangerous experiment, upon the recon-
mendation of the Democratic party and
of a leader who, twelve years ago,
and again eight years ago, urged the
adoption of the worst financial fallacy
of the age, and, if his counsels had pre-
vailed, would have plunged the whole
country into disaster and shame.
