as TO PANICS.

Mr., Bryan, in his clear exposition
Of the Democratic party'~ position
on the tariff question and tho in
justice OF the Republican party's
protective policies ON this question,
in his tariff speech ut Dt- Moincs,
Iowa, on the list, made the follow
| ing mcisiyc allusion t. the Re
publican party's responsibility for
the three panics of the last thirty
| five years:
81 cannot pass from this part Of
my subject, without calling atten-
| ton to the fact that Secretary Taft
has allowed himself to be drawn in
to the use of an argument which the
beneticiaries Of protection have been
employing for generation. Speak
ing Of the gradual substitution of n
revenue tariff for the protective
system, he says in his notification
speech:
1.-The introduction in power of II
party with this avowcd purpose can
l
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 n threat Of panic If the
Republican party is not retained in
power. This panic argument was
worked overtime in 1896, but | am
surprised that a Republican refers
to 1t in the present campaign.
"We have had three panics since
the Republican party was born:
the panic Of 1873, the panic of 1893
and the panic of 1907. The panic in
1873 came after the Republican
party had been in complete control
of the federal government for twelve
years, and eleven years before our
party succeeded in securing control
Of the executive branch of the gov
eminent. The startling panic and
depression of 1893 occurred in the
very midst Of Republican rule, Just
after a Republican victory, and un-
der high tariff. Is 1t not strange
that Secretary Taft should forget
this panic, when he warns us to be-
ware of any departure from the pro-
tective system9

Republican party had been in COM

TAFT's PERvERsIoN OF FACTS

Mr.. I. l.. Cairns of Kansas City,
writing to the st Louis Republic,
says:
According to th"press reports Oi
Mr.. Taft's speech at Hot Springs, Va,
he states that the last Democratic
administration repealed the Me
Kinley tariff bill, passed in 1890, and
enacted the Gorman-Wilson tariff
bill of 1898" and that, under the
operation of the GOrman-Wilsonb bill
period of industrial depression set
in which continued through the
campaign OF 1896.
The records shows, and every man
who Is well informed in recent
history knows that there was no tar
if bill passed in 1893. The German
Wilson bill was passed at the last
Of August, 1894, and more than
a year after the great panic. For
the most acute period of the panic
was in June and July, 1893, and
while the Mckinley tariff was in full
force and effect, as the Mckinley
bill was not repealed until the
German Wilson bill was passed.
This perversion of history is of
utmost Importance, and ought not
TO pass unchallenged. The people
ought to know the facts. They ought
to know that, If any tariff produced
the panic OF 1883, it must have been
the Mckinley tariff, which was then
in full force and effect, and 80 con-
tinued for more than a year there
after.
The Republican newspapers and
politicians havepersistedin this mis-
statement of facts for the last twelve
years. Even Mr.. Roosevelt, In his
letter of acceptance in 1904, refers
10 'the disastrous effects Of the tariff
OF 1893 :"
II is the duty of the honest portion
of the press Of the country to set the
facts before the people.

GOMPER'S ADVICE NO
ORGANIZED LABOR
Vote for Any Friend OF Organized
Labor, But in No Case for
Republican

'''''-'''''
ia" strong political move On tn
Labor for Tn" defeat uf every Re
publican national candidat" ut the
November election, was made know
locally yesterday, says the st, Louis
Republic, when a communication
from the "N"cutiy" council Of the
federation, signed by President
Endorsed 10y To" Central Trades anC
Labor Union. The communication
mentioned no names of presidential
candidates, but it is taken to mean
that organized labor will hcnccfortl
work with its entire strength for the
success Of Bryan and his ticket.
The communication was received
unanimously, not even the Social
lists in the Central Union offering
any dissent.
The federation and Mr.. Gomp"rs
are not committed by the communi-
cation for Bryan alone, but one ad-
mouitiun to union men throughout
the land, which is taken as signiiI-
cant, Is the phrase, "Not" for any
friend Of organized labor you may
like, but in no cas-" vot" for Rcpub-
Leans
TO make clear who the friends of
organized labor were, the runmuni-
cation reprinted what had been
asked by union labor Of both parties
at their national conventions, and
then was shown, without comment,
what the parties had don" FOR union

CANNON AND ROOSEVELT.

Even the tough old hide of the Right
Honorable Joseph G. Cannon is likely
to receive many punctures before the
present campaign is over; indeed, it is
currently reported that both Gompers
and the Methodist bishops have caused
the speaker TO vince more than once
during the past two or three weeks Yet
Cannon is only one of a type of Repub-
lcans, the stand-patters. of whom there
are many thousands, among them most
Of the leaders of the party. The stand
patters today stand where the ultra =
conservative Democrats stood before
the war. Their minds are so warped as
TO render them incapable OF learning
or of honestly fulfilling pledges made
10 the people. Cannon is no better
ard no worse than the majority of his
party. and while the president failed to
put In good word for him, 1t was
doubtless owing to fear of the effect
upon the Independent voter and not be-
cause he does not i'm the main indorse

Speaker Cannon has many friends
and admirers among the stalwart
branch OF the Republican party, and
many of them are outspoken in his be-
half The Des Moines Capital. edited
