 Republican National Committee ana there can be but one explanation oi It's refusal to give the news ot con, tributors. and that explanation is that the Congressional committee ID to be made the blind pool into wnicn money will be poured which Will po too tainted to give to the Repuoicah National Committee.
 q demand an answer to the ques- tfon. will the Republican congression- al Committee promise to give 70 tne public the names or the contrlDusv.s .,.s to the campaign fund? The campaign Is drawing to A close. We have col- leeted something like s2s0,O0o on the 18th of october and the chairman an nounced that we would neeo aeout SiO0, 900 for the completion of the cam paign. The Republican committee mas refused to tell the public how mnch it has collected, but Republican, news papers announce that money has been pouring into the treasury lately and that large sums would be sent into, the doubtful States.
 What use is to be made of these large sums at this period or the cam paign? It Is not to be used Tor lit- erature. for the circulation or ntcra- ture has almost passed. It IS not TO be used for the perfection of the or OA 6OhA10NANAa already been perfected. What other use can be contemplated except the purchase of such votes as can be pur- chased? The Republican leaders have not scrupled at, purchase in the past and I call your attention to the fact that purchase is now contemplated wherever a purchasable voter can be found. How long will the American people permit the corruption or poll tics by the predatory interests? How long can the Republican party claim to be a moral agency while the lead CTS resort to the secret contributions and to the enormous corruption fund?"
 Tarim Breeds Panic.
 On the panic question he said:
 "Wo have had three panics since 1880 and all three of them came un- der high tariffs and two of them un- der Republican Presidents. The panic of "a came under the Morrill, high tariffs; the panic of '93 under the Me- KinleY high tarlffs-a year before that law was repealed. The panic of 1907 came under the Dingley high tariff. Here we have every panic in the last forty-eight years coming while high tariff law was in force"
 The tariff is a panic breeder and tn ose who favor high tariff are im- potent to protect their country from business depression. Statistics show thepe were more business failures the first nine months of this year than there were the first nine months of 1893, For the first nine months of 1894. The failures were greater during the first nine months of this year under the Dingley high tariff than they were in 1895 or 1896 under the Wilson bill And yet in spite of this record, MT. Taft has the audacity to threaten a panic if salaries are withdrawn from Republican, officials.
 Tt Is time for the Republican lead CTS to explain why these panics have come under the highest tariff rates this country has known. The only as- surance of permanent and universal prosperity is to be found the Demo- cratic policies. which are the reduc- ton of taxation, the lowering of the tarin the prevention of the trusts. the reconciliation of labor and capital. and the protection of deposits. Upon this roundation prosperity can return and returning. can remain"
