SHERMAN TOLD OF
 NOMINATION AT CHICAGO

 be short Those not convinced by the presentation of Mr. Taft I could not hope to persuade. It is, however, in conformity with custom that 1 refer at least briefly to sons Of the impor- tant issues of the campaign.
 First. then, let me say that l am protectionist am sufficiently prac- tical to value the utility of fact high. CT than the beauty of a theory, and am a protectionist because experience has demonstrated that the application of that principle has lifted us Hs a nation to a plane of prosperits above that occupied by any other people.
 I especially commend that plank of our platform which promises an early revision of tariff schedules. That pledge will be fulfilled in an adjust ment based in every particular upon the broad principles of protection fol all American interests; alike for labor. for capital. for producers and con sumers. The Dingley bill when en- acted, was well adapted to the then existing conditions. The developments of industrial prosperity in a decade, which in volume and degree have sur passed our mdSt roseate expectations, have so altered conditions that in cer. tain details of schedules they no long CT in every particular mete out justice to all. In this readjustment tae prin- ciple of protection must and will gov ern: such duties must and will be i'm posed will equalize the cost Of production at home and abroad and insure a reasonable profit to all Amer ican interests. The Republican idea of such profit embraces not alone the manufacture, not alone the capi- tal invested, but ali engaged in Ameri- can production, the employer and em- ployed. the artisan, and the farmer, the miner and those engaged in transpor- tation and trade: broadly speaking those engaged in every pursuit and calling which our tariH directly or in directly affects. During, a statutory application of this principle, prosper ity has abided with us. When a rev enue of tariff has been the law, ad- versity and want have been our DOT ton. Our Democratic brethren, Whose memories are as short as their prom ises are trail, and who have always exhibited a lack of capacity to profit by experiences, unmindful of the dis Tress and destruction that arrived and departed with the last Democratic ad- ministration, declare in their platform that they favor such immediate re- vision of schedules as may be necessary to restore the tariff to revenue basis" A revenue basis, tariff for revenue only" =ultimate free trade"-all have an identical meaning, that meaning being an as- So S-% upon American industries, an at tack upon, the American wage scale, a lessening demand for the products of American soil and American toll; less work, less pay, less of the necessaries of and comforts of life. In the light of history, what issue of the cam lpaign so yitally effects American citizens? Experience, that effective teacher-effective save with the one ! man power now parading under the title of the Democratic party-has taught the nation a valuable lesson and the result of the coming Noyem- Der election will once more prove the American people to be apt scholars. What the laborer of the land, skilled and unskilIed, desires is the oppor- tunity at all times to exchange his brain and brawn for good pay in good money. A protective tariff and the gold standard, both now the existing achievements of the Republican party, in spite of Democratic opposition, give 1 the laborer that opportunity.
 The Republican party believes in the equality of all men before the law; be. lieyes in granting Iabor's every request that does not seek to accord rights to one man and denied to another. Fair minded labor asks no more, no less, and approves the record of the Repub- lican party because of that partys acts
