Restoration of Prosperity.


Gradually business is acquiring d
healthier tone. Gradually wealth,
which was boarded, is coming out to
be used Confidence in security of bust
ness investments is a plant of slow
growth and Is absolutely necessary in
order that our factories may all open
again in order that our unemployed
may become employed, and in order
that we may again have the prosperity
that has blessed us for ten years. The
identity of the interest of the capital
of the farmer the business man and
the wage Garner in the security ana
profit of investments cannot be TOO
largely emphasized. l submit TO
those most interested, to wage earners,
to farmers and to business men, wheth-
er the introduction into power of the
Democratic party with Mr.. Bryan at
its head, and with the business con-
struction that it openly ADVOCATES as
a remedy for present evils, Will bring
about the needed confidence Tor the
restoration of prosperity
THE Republican doctrine of protec-
ton as definitely announced by the
Republican convention this year, and
by previous conventions, is that tariff
shall be imposed on all imported prod
ucts. whether of the factory, farm or
mine, sufficiently great to equal the
difference between the cost of produc
ton abroad and at home and that this
difference should of course, include the
difference between the higher wages
paid in this country, and the wages
paid abroad, and embrace reasonable
profit to the American production.
Advantage Of Unions.
"ro give to employees their proper po-
sition in such controversy to enable
them to maintain themselves against
employers having great capital, they may
well unite, because in union lhere Is
strength and without it each Individual
laborer and employe would be helpless.
The promotion of industrial peace
through the instrumentality OF the trade
agreement is often one of the results OF
such union when intelligently conducted.
There is a large body OF laborers,
however. skilled and unslNlled, who are
moi organzed into unions. Their rights
before the law are exactly the same as
those of the union men, and are TO De
protected with the same care and watch

have the right to strike in body. They
have n right to use such persuasion as
they may, provided 1t does not reach
the point of dureSs, to lead their reiuc-
tant co-laborers to join them in their
union against their employer and they
have a right, If they choose, to accumu-
late funds to support those engaged in
a strike to delegate to officers the pow

in controversy.
What Labor Cannot Do.
"What they have not the right to do
is TO iniure their employers property, TO
iniure their employers business by use

or deal with him or by carrying on what

settled by the courts of this country.
