Mr.. TAFT III Tho course o. a briei but

laboring men. gave a definite reply to
the assertion that be had said that 20
dollar day Is enough for any man. "
His answer was short, sharp and fright
to the point. He exclaimed; ''Itfs

That vigorous declaration puts into
the mouth Of the slanderer file upon
which he may gnaw to his hearts
content. 1t serves notice, also, that
in the present campaign the liar will
be dealt with as such, and not handled
with the soft glove Of courtesy.
There is no place in this years cam
paign for the liar, the bigot. the crank
or the anarchist. What is needed is
an honest discussion Of real issues in
the light Of truth and justice, IN order
that the people may be helped to
correct understanding Of the purpose
OF opposing parties and opposing can
didates.
The only Democratic occupant Of
the presidential chair since the civil
war, when confronted with a given
proposition during his first campaign.
gave his party councillors this simple
instruction:
"Tell the truth"
Mr.. Cleveland's admonition is the
Repu blican watchword for 1908. The
plain truth, clearly understood, is all
that is needed to justify popular con-
fidence in the purpose and policy Of
the Republican party. The party or
the candidate attempting this year to
trick the people by statements OF half
truth, by Misrepresentation or by
evasion of records and issues is sclf-
doomed to defeat and humiliation
The people are today more thorough.
" informed as to national conditions
and national needs than ever before.
they cannot be fooled by pretenders
nor betrayed by false prophets. They
are the real rulers OF the country, and
hey will measure each party seeking
their favor by what it has done rather
than by what it promises to do.
The Republican party will tell the
ruth throughout the whole campaignl
It will stand fast for the candor, cour-
age and resolute Americanism which
pities coward but hates liar.

If
For nearly airy years under Repub'
Iican administrations and legislation,
the United States has enjoyed the
benefits Of a protective tariff, except
Ing during the period from 1924 70
1897, when the Free Trade wilson
German law was in operation. Dur
ing the same period, In fact since
lS46, Great Britain has had q free
trade tariff. During these years q
home market has been built up In the
United States with sufficient purchas-
ing power to consume 80 per cent and
more OF our manufactures and farm
products. In the same period Great
Britain has striven to become the
workshop OF the world, and has sue
ceeded in becoming the dumping
ground for the products Of other
nations.
Let US see now what has been the
result OF these two policies on the
railroads Of these two countries, as
affected by the wages Of the en-
ployees and the freight rates. The
testimony is that Of Mr.. B. +. Yoak-
UNI, one Of the leading railroad men
Of this country. In a recent inter-
view, be made the astounding declar-
alton that four thousand million dol
lars would be added to American
freight bills II the shippers Of this
country were compelled to pay the
same rate as the English shippers pay
while at the same time the average
wages paid to American railroad en-
ployees are more than double that
paid to those Of the same rates Of
labor in Great Britain.
To be more. specific, Mr.. foakum
shows that the average wages paid to
he railroad employees in Great Britain
ire $SOS per year, while the freight
.ate in Great Britain is 1924 per ton
Der mile. As compared with this,
he average wages Of the railroad en-
oloyees Of the United States are $642
Der year, while the freight rate is %
tents per ton per mile. In Great
Britain fremen are paid $500 per
year; in the United States, $766. In
Great Britain, conductors are paid
1915 per year; in the United States,
E1,155 per year, or more than four
lines as much.
Shall we continue to operate farms
md factories under protective tariff,
Or shall we let down the bars and re-
sort to the fiscal policy Of Great

Oklahoma's Queer Plan.

plan it is to be hoped 1t will be
more intelligent one than that Q
Oklahoma. In that state the fund !!
being invested in state warrants bu'
it is realized that in panicky times
these could not be sold.
Itissuggested by an Oklahoma bank
er that the guaranty fund should be de-
posted in the banks from which it il
collected, all banks Of course, being
protected under the state law.
Whatever amount is collected from
bank should be Immediately de-
posted with that bank in the form Of
certificates Of deposit, drawing S-per
cent interest, and always subject to
call. Let the banks carry the guar
anty fund as part Of their assets until
used, then check it of. 1t is main
tanned that in this way tho guaranty
fund would always be safely deposit
ed and available in time Of need.
II this isn't an attempt to pull ones
self up by the boOtstraps we fail to
understand what it means. The
money is drawn from the banks for
the guaranty fund. but redeposited
by taking out certificate Of deposit
which is given some special sig
niticance by describing it as ''draw-
ing 8 per cent interest and always
subject to CALL" These be words,
words, words. The man who put
forth the above brilliant idea is en-
meshed in morass Of bad banking
and faulty economics.
Let us see. The guaranty fund
must be invested. II so, it cannot be
different in kind from any other in
vestment. II the market is right, you
can realize on your securities. II
there is no market there will be ne
realization. On October "a Of last
