Description of the Republican Pres

Borah Of Idaho.
(From Senator Borah's Boston
Speech.)

TATT's SERVICE TO LABOR.

Destroyed the Old English Law As
sumption that Union Labor IL .
Conspiraey.
(Trom the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
The simple fact is that no man has
done more to place union labor on a
sound, square, l~aw-abiding, respected
footing than william H. Taft by his
decisions in labor cases. Both employ
srs and employed have acknowledged
the justice. Of his decisions and learned
to abide by them, and to-day there is
not an intelligent worker or fair
minded employer who would seek to
abrogate them.
Judge TAFT lifted union labor from
the doubt and uncertainty AZ to its
rights which had before prevented and
gave It a standing which 1t has ever
since retained, and which has proved
under his rulings, secure against all
attack. The old assumption, derived
from England, that union labor il a
conspiracy, and that workers could Be
prevented from leaving railway or
other employment at their will, was
swept away forever BY Judge Taft 40
far % the United States 10 concerned.
and when an attempt was made, years
later, to revive the principle, Judge
Taft's decision was quoted successfully
BY the labor side to defeat the plea.
Mr.. Taft was and IL labors' friend.
because he 10 absolutely just, and
would no more permit wrong to be
done to the poorest laborsr in the land
than he would to any one else. And

Of his ability to meet problems and

Of their operation? BY their fruits
we shall know them
with the record OF promises and
prophecies unfulfilled for a period Of
twelve years; with this record Of a
hunt for an issue upon which to
achieve the presidency; with this rec
ord Of reputation, Of negotiation and
Of running away from national respon-
sibilities. Mr.. Bryan comes forward
and asks that the people now give him
an opportunity to put into operation

In respect to guaranty Of bank depos-

and on their face bearing evidence Of

u looking for plausible arguments
rather than real reforms. He only in
q qualified way approved the postal
savings bank recommended by the Re
publican platform, which is a tried
and proved means Of encouraging the
w~age-earner and small farmer to make
deposits in a bank absolutely secure ;
but much prefers a system which takes
a mans money to pay another mans
default, and which instead Of strength
ening our banking system will break IT
down by destroying the value Of the
banking character and experience and
capital and by offering inducement to
reckless and speculative bankers with
cut character or capital.
1.-THE record Of Mr.. Bryan and his
character, as 1t Is understood by a
twelve years acquaintance with him,
have impressed the business communi-
ty Of this country and those whose
judgment determines whether or not
capital shall be invested that he is not
q safe man with whom to try expert
ments in government; that he loves
financial theories that are full Of 10
phistry and are impractical; that he
advances propositions with but little
sense Of respect As to how they may
be carried out in practice, and that he
gives but little attention to the vel
fare Of the conservative business com
nunity in his suggestions of reform.
Certainly his record justifies this judg,
nent Of him by the business men. II
he was to be elected. unquestionably
because of his record, however much
now he may seek to pose az a conserva-
t~ive-because of his record, because OF
the failure Of the theory which he has
