We had a little panic, but we are
recovering from 1t more rapidly than
our own or any other people ever
recovered from any panic. Brief as
1t was. that panic would have been

How Many Mills Would Bryan's Elcc-
4 ton open?
But suppose Mr.. Bryan should be
elected President. Does any laborer
think that would help the rapidly re-
/ covering business of the nation. on
which the employment of labor de-
! ponds? How many mills would Mr..
Bryan's election open? How many
idle workmen would 1t send back to
factory and mine? Let the working
man discuss with his family this pTac-
teal question Of their dai'y bread,
and then vote as the interests OF his
own fireside tell him to vote. Let
him compare the panic of 1893 with
that of 1908 and remember Thai
whereas this last panic began to blow
over almost as soon as 1t arose, the
great panic got worse, year after year
until the people once more put Re-
publican administration in charge Of
the country.
The Writ of Injunction.
Before President Taft's administra-
ton is one year old we shall end the
abuse of the Injunction in labor dis
putes. On this great question there
are extremists on both sides-bcth
wrong, as extremists always are.
There are those who declare that the
power to ehjoih4 has never been a5us-
/ ed-but the American bench and bar
| ingmen know 1t, the whole people
know 1t. Injunctions have been is
sued without notice, hearings not CIV
en- until the trouble had passed: men
punished for disobedience without
theld day in court. These abuses IRE
not mans, but there have been
enough of them to prove the evil, to
arouse sense of injustice In the
breast Of labor. to create unrest
throughout the nation.
The possibility of these abuses must
he stopped. Every man should have
his day in court-this is the first
great maxim of law-made liberty
and lIberty-made law. This is the
foundation OF the peoples respect for
and obedience to the courts. When
4 the meanest man beneath our flag
is denied that right. the Republic
ceases to be free. No injunction
should issue without notice: and once
issued 1t should speedily be heard.
Square Deal and Taft.
l introduced a bill at the last ess-
sion providing for these fundamentals
it will be enacted into law by the next
congress. To give to the laboring
man his day in court on any injunc-
ton against him gives him nothing
more than his just rights. and takes
from the laborer's heart his sense of
rights. On the one hand 1t takes
fro mthe laborer's heart his sense OF
outrage and from the constituencies
agitator his chief argument, while on
Qae other hand 1t puts the employer
to no disadvantage IL he is in the
right, and denies him improper ad-
vantage II he is in the wrong. 1t
Il quenches the fires of unrest; 1t
strengthens the Nations faith in the
courts, and IL does all this by secur-
ing Justice. Justice is the sovereign
word Of public peace and human well
fare. And never have known a man
who stands so firmly for Justice as
William H. Taft.
The labor problem will be solved
because IT is everybody's problem:
the real rights of labor will be estab-
lished because they are humanity's
/ rights. This nation of toilers will
(! prevail because in the end their hear
i is sound, their brain Is clear. One by
one we are ending he ancient
abuses; step by step we ascend the
heights of our salvation. We strug-
gle ever and often err; for struggle
and error are humanity's schooling
toward the ultimate true and beau
h tiful good"-but always we advance.
Let not US Americans question our
mission, our destiny. our future. God
planted this Republic; His wisdom
rules us; we work out His perfect
purposes. whether We will or not.
