WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 2S.-In
a letter given cut by President Roose.
welt addressed to Senator P. @. Knox.
congratulatlng t:1e latter on his adj
mirable speech at Philadelphia, Mr..
Roosevelt in no uncertain terms calls
attention to the attitude of The Repub.
lican party and himself toward the la.
boring men. and the effort of William
Jennings Bryan and Samuel Gompers
to mtslead them as to the real hene-
fits which they have derived from
Republican legislation.
President Roosevelt takes this oc.
casion to air views on this Import
ant feature of the Campaign in order
tnat the laboring men Of the country
may be in position to Judge for
themselves whether or not they will
follow the leadership of Mr.. Gompers
and cast their votes for the Democrat.
ic presidential candidate or will vote
for William H. Taft, who, the presl-
dent states, is more OF a real friend
OF labor.
The President goes into the history
of labor'leglslation enacted by Repul,
lican administrations, and calls atten
ticn to the fact that it was through
thhs efforts Of senator Knox, then at
toney general, that the employers
liability act was upheld by the su.
preme court. His letter in substance
is an appeal to the laborlng men tc
study the situation carefully before
casting their ballots and not be mis-
guidesl by the promises Of Mr.. Bryan
or the threats of Samuel Gompers

ilater than the convention of 1904
which nominated Judge Parker Mr.
] Bryan was one of a subcommittee Of
three which by. his vote decided
against accepting the gold standard
as an accomplished fact. He has re.
Gently made declarations that he
would not go outside the Democratic
platform of this year to seeF issues,
and that he would be governed by the
laws which he found in the statute
book. These assurances are good as
far as they go. but they do not cover
the whole ground.
The question which the thoughtful
business man will ask before deciding
to vote for Mr.. Bryan or to contribute
even by indifference ito his election
will be "can I trust him in crlsis::"
The laws which Mr.. Bryan will be
called upon to enforce in case of a
scarcity of money or disturbance in
the markets are largely discretionary
laws. They depend for their enforce
nlent, not upon the letter, but upon
the spirit. Mr.. Bryan is committed
by the declaration of every platform
on which h ehas stood against the ex-
listing monetary system and against
The measures which were taken by
Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. mckinley and Mr..
Roosevelt to maintain the public cred

by a nearly two.thirds majority an ex-
preston Of confidence in Mr.. Cleve-
land, the Democratic President. The
convention OF 1900 denounced the gold
standard law, which had just been, en-
acted and demanded "the retirement
of national bank notes as fast as gov
crnment paper or silver certificates
can be substituted for Them Even
gold certificates would not content
him. And IT Mr.. Bryans friends
would seek to dismiss these references
as ancient history, they can hardly
treat in that manner the declaration
OF the Denver convention Of this year
against the new currency law and in
favor OF currency ISSUED and con-
trolled by the Federal government
In other words. the panacea which
Mr.. Bryan offers for existing difficult
ties is another plunge into the mlre
of greenback imitation.
Sympathetic measures to protect
the business interests of the country
cannot be counted upon by Mr.. Bry.
an unless he has. seen a light like that
before which Paul of Tarsus fell on
his face and turned from prosecutor
to devotee. Thus far Mr.. Bryan has
given no signs of this great transr
formation. Very pertinent to the un'
easiness which would prevail every
where If he were called upon to face
"a financial crisis is the recent sugges

Takes UP Gompers' Letter.
The daily papers Of october 10 con.
tain an open letter from MT, Samuel
Gompes, president OF the American
Federation OF Labor, appealing to
workingmen TO vote for Mr.. Bryan.
In that letter are certain definite
statements which interest the wider
American public quite as much as
those TO whom Mr.. Gompers makes
his appeal. These statements war.
rant all you have said in your speech:
and they would warrant you in asking
AR. Bryan. to say publicly whether Mr.

interest of corporate power; and he
further makes clear that the means
by which he believes this alleged des
Iptism has been set up in the place
of Democracy is by the process Of in
junction in the courts of equity. Mr.
Gompers in His letter states that his
appeal to the Republican convention
at Chicago for remedy against the in
