BRYAN's POLICIES DESTRUCTIVE
Mr.. Taft Compares Republican and
Democratic Platforms.
(From Mr. Tafts Speech Of Accep-
tance.)

The chief difference between the Re
publican and the Democratic platforms
is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies of Mr..
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Rooseyelt's policies
have boen progressive and regulative;
Mr.. Bryan's destructive. Mr.. Roose-
Welt has favored regulation Of the bust
ness in which evils have grown up so
as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business to continue. The tendency
Of Mr.. Bryan's proposals has generally
heen destructive of the business with re-
spect to which he is demanding reform.
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
TO conduct their business in a lawful
manner and secure the benefits Of their
operation and the maintenance Of the
prosperity of the country of which they
are an important part; while Mr..
Bryan would extirpate and destroy the
entire business in order to stamp out
the evils which they have practiced.

State Legislation.

The States have control of labor leg
islation within their respective bounds,
federal authority being confined, SO far
as labor is concerned, to the District
of Columbia and the territories, federal
reservations and federal public WORKS.
The story Of labor legislation shows
that nearly all labor reforms originated
in Republican States, and at the pres
ent day the Republicans are far ahead
of the Democrats in the enactment and
enforcement of laws for the welfare
of men and women and children who
work for living. Twenty-six out OF
thirty Republican States have labor
bureaus, and only seven out of sixteen
Democratic States have similar bu-
reaus, without which labor laws are
often dead letters. Twenty-three Re-
publican States have factory inspectors
to see to the enforcement of the factory
laws. Only six Democratic States nave
factory inspection services. Fifteen
States-thirteen Republican and two
Democratic-have free employment

on their statute books prohibiting labor
on government works or public con-
tracts for more than eight hours day.
Of these States sixteen are Republican
and two Democratic. -Four Republican
States and one Democratic State have
laws declaring eight hours to be q legal
working day in the absence of a con-
tract Twenty-seven States prohibit
the employment of children under four
teen years of age in factories. OF these
twenty-three are Republican and four
are Democratic States. Laws limiting
the hours of the employment of chill
dren in factories or stores have been en-
acted in twenty-four Republican and
thirteen Democratic States. Eighteen
Republican and ten Democratic States
prohibit night work by children. Twelve

Obligations OF civil war.

Money Indebtedness is not the only
obligation we incurred and assumed
in the great civil war. There was a
still greater debt an everlasting obli-
cation that could never be paid in full.
But in the years that have followed,
the Republican party has inaugurated
and developed pension laws under
which over three and one-half billion
dollars have been paid to disabled
veterans or to the survivors Of those
who gave their lives for their country
and their flag. This pension system, a
product of the policy of the Republican
party has no precedent in history and
no equal in justice and generosity
among the nations of the earth.-Hop.

HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT BY
M'KINLEY.
The Manner in Which the Republic
can Candidate Was Called to
Larper Srahara nf Action

The Manner in Which the Republic
can Candidate Was Called to q
Larger Sphere Of Action.
One afternoon early in 1900, when
Judge William H. Taft was debating
a decision of the United States Court
in the Federal Building in Cincinnati,
a telegram was placed in his hands.
He tore off the envelope and was sur
prised to find a telegram from Presl-
dent William Mckinley, reading:
II shall take it as a great favor if you
will call on me some time next week."
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
of the summons and guessed wrong.
He went to Washington and was shown
into a room at the White House, where
he met the President and Secretary
Long of the Navy. Later, Elihu Root,
the Secretary of War, came in. Then,
to use Mr.. Taft's own words:
"NIr. Mckinley said that he wanted to
send me to the Philippines to help in the
work of establishing civil government as
the army moved on. I thought of my
place on the bench and hesitated. Be-
sides, / believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
"'But we have them and must take
care of Them the President replied.
"'You are at the turning of the ways
in your life,' Mr.. Root then observed.
THE bench is the easy road. You can
stay there and be comfortable. On the
contrary, the Philippines will demand per-
sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work, but you will have an opportunity
of doing your country very great SER
vice. / went home, and argued the mat
ter for two weeks"
Tie telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door of American history to Will
liam HI. Taft and made him the RepuD-
lican candidate for President of the
United States.

States prohibit the employment of chill
dren in operating dangerous machinery
or cleaning machinery in motion. Eff
teen Republican and six Democratic
States limit the hours of labor OF Wom-
en-. 1t should be noted that twelve of
the Republican States which limit
women's hours Of labor have factory
inspectors to see that the law is obeyed,
while only three Of the Democratic
States make such provision. In twenty
three Republican and ten Democratic
States employers are required by law
to provide seats for female workers.
Twelve States have enacted legisla-
ton intended to effect the extinction of
the sweatshop system, with its degrad-
ing and revolving accessories. Of these
twelve States ten are Republican and
two Democratic Seventeen Republican
and five Democratic States have laws
requiring the payment of wages weekly
or fortnightly, or, in some instances,
prohibiting a longer period than one
month between pay days.

LABOR LEGISLATION
Republican States Have Been Lihs
eraI in Legislation for
J., Labor.
Democratic States Have Done Little
to Make Labor Conditions Better
Within Their Bounds.

1t is fact that every important step
for the benefit of American labor has
been taken either by a Republican
Congress and administration, or by the
Legislature of Republican State, OF
course with the consent, and sometimes
by the advice, of the State executive.
Democratic Congresses have been no
tably negligent in this respect, and
Democratic States have either done
nothing to make labor conditions bet
ter within their bounds, or have slowly
and reluctantly followed at a distance
In the trail of Republican reforms.

1t will probably be but a short time
after the convention between this coun-
try and England goes into effect, until
the dream of a universal 2-cent letter
postage, championed by the Republican
party, will be realized. Australia, New
Zealand and Egypt have already called
for the 2-cent rate The Emperor Of
Germany has said that if England es-
tablishes a 2-cent postage rate with
the United States, he will have Ger
many do the same. France, Italy,
South Africa, Japan, Belgium, Hol-
land, Denmark and Sweden would need
little more than an invitation to fol-
low suit.
A 2-cent postal rate would bind all
the South American republics and the
United States still more closely togeth-
er into peaceful reciprocal, progress
Eive, civilization, which would mean
more rapid development Of both Ameri-
can continents and a new application
Of the Monroe doctrine. With these
countries agreed, on the object desired,
the continent of Europe alone would
then be wholly outside this compre-
hensive postal union, and then the
continental powers would not long
stand aloof from it.
1t has remained for the United
States to take the initiative in move
to reap the great glory Of being the
rioneers Of world wide 2-cent post
age Mill',ns of our citizens will feel
almost rs grateful for this benelicent
net as millions of slaves did, when the
Republican party broke the shackles
thai bound them to perpetual physical
services.

Trade Union Labels.

Fourteen Republican States and only
one Democratic State-Nevada-have
laws in force prohibiting employers
from discharging persons on account of
membership in labor organizations, or
from compelling persons to agree not
to become members of labor organiza-
lions as a condition of securing employ
ment or continuing in their employ.
Forty States have passed laws allowing
trade unions to adopt labels or trade
marks to be used to designate products
of the labor Of their members, and pro-
hibiting the counterfeiting of the use
of such labels or trademarks by I'M
authorized persons. OF these States
twenty-eight are Republican and twelve
are Democratic.
The foregoing presents for considera-
tion by intelligent, patriotic labor sub
stantial facts and figures taken from
the statute books of the several States
No platitude can upset them. They
prove the records of the Republican
party and Of the Democracy on the Ia
Dor issue, and they must convince ev-
cry reasonable reader that the Republi-
can party has not only brought Ameri-
can labor up to its present honorable
standard, but that labor can look only
to the Republican party for assurance
of protection and prosperity in the
future.

Colonel Bryan laments the ''discrimi-
nation that has been going on against
the farmer in electing SO few tillers
of the soil to Congress and the Senate.
What troubles him chiefly, however, is
the discrimination which the whole

certain farmer of Lincoln, Neb., in de-
dining to elect him to the White
House.-New York Tribune.
