Mr.. Sherman's Speech.

Senator Burrows and Gentlemen of the
Notification Committee: Your chairman.
speaking for the committee, has notified
me of my nomination by the Republican
national convention. held in Chicago in
June, as the party's candidate for vice
president. AS I CHANGED to be in Chi
cago in June, | had inklng of the
conventions action. which was confirmed
by Warm-hearted reception rendered me
by my neighbors on the occasion of my
homecoming on July 2. This official no.
tificatiOn, however, is welcome and the
nomination you tender me is accepted
accepted with gratitude commensurate
with the great honor conferred; accepted
with a full appreciation of the obliga-
tons which accompany that honor. an
honor greater because my name is linked
with that of William II. Taft. whom / re-
spect and esteem highly and who ap-
proaches the high office of president eX-
ceptionally well equipped to discharge
the duties and bear the varied and
weighty responsibilities of that exalted
position. My acceptance could not be
made with honor unless / were in full
accord with the declaration of pr.hci-
pies adopted by the convention. Not only
am l in full and complete accord with
my party's platform, but l indorse every
statement made by Mr.. Taft in his adj
dress of acceptance when notified of his
nomination the Republican candidate
for president

Protection First.

In this reimbursement the principle of
protection must and will govern; such
duties must and will be imposed as will
eQualize the cost OF production at home
and abroad and insure reasonable pro-
fit to all American interests The Re
publican idea of such profit embraces
not alone the manufacturer, not alone
the capital invested, but all engaged in
American production. the employer and
employed the artisan. the farmer, the
miner and those engaged in transporta-
ton and trade; broadly speaking, those
engaged in every pursuit and calling
which our tariff directly or indirectly af-
fects. During statutory application of
this principle, prosperity has abided with
us. When revenue tariff has been the
law, adversely and want have been our
portion. Our Democratic brethren whose
memories are as short as their promises
are frail, and who have always exhibited
a lack of capacity to profit by expert
ence, unmindful of the distress and de-
struction that arrived and departed with
the last Democratic administration de-
clare in their platform that they favor
such Immediate revision of I"
schedules as may be necessary to restore
the tariff to revenue basis" A "reve-
nue. basis" a tariff for revenue only"
ultimate free trade"-all have an identi-
cal meaning; that meaning being an as
sault upon American industries, an attack
upon the American wage scale, a lessen
ing demand for the products of American
soil and American toll; less work, less
pay. less of the necessaries of and COM
forts of life. In the light of history, what
issue of the campaign so vitally affects
American citizens? Experience, that eff
fective 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 re-
suit of the coming November election will,
once more prove the American people to
be apt scholars. What the laborer of the
land, skilled and unskilled, DESIRES is the
opportunity at all times to exchange his
brain and Drawn for good pay in good
money. protective tariff and the gold
standard. both now the existing achieve
ments .of the Republican party. in spite
of Democratic opposition, give the labor
er that opportunity.

Merely Follows Custom.

That speech fully and comprehensively
discusses the issues of this campaign as
presented by the platforms of the two
great parties. so that it is appropriate
that my statement should be short. Those
not convinced by the presentation of Mr..
Taft / could not hope to persuade. 1t is,
however. in conformity with custom that
l refer at least briefly TO some of the
important issues of the campaign.
First, then, let me say that I am a
protectonist. l am sufficiently practical
to value the utility of fact higher than
the beauty of theory, and ! am pro-
tectionist because experience has demon
strated that the application of that prin-
ciple has lifted us as a nation to a plane
of prosperity above that occupied by any
other people.
l especially commend that plank of our
platform which promises an early re-
vision of tariff schedules. That pledge
will be fulfilled in an adjustment based
in every particular upon the broad prin-
ciples of protection for all American in
terests; alike for labor. for capital, for
producers and consumers. The Dingley
bill. when enacted, was well adapted to
the then existing conditions. The devel-
opments of industrial prosperity in a de-
cade which in volume and degree have
surpassed our most roseate expectations.
have so altered conditions that in certain
details of schedules they no longer in
every particular mete out justice to all.
