ENEMY OF TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan of Tariff for Revenue Only.

(From the Labor World.)
Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, If Mr.. Bryan shall be elect.
ed President, his plans for revision OF
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr.. Bryan is the professed
enemy of the tariff system. lie would
impose duties, If mt all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call truSt-made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti-
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. OF course, his hope
is to strike at the great protection
States, which happen to be Republican
in politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Nir-
GINA, etc. II does not seem to matter
to him that every dollars worth Of for
eign goods In the competitive class COM
ing into the United States OF a revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demand for home
goods, thus displacing just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
is to rebuke and ayenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him I'm politics and who will
have none of him at the polls, says an
exchange.
But while Mr.. Bryan is cunning for
protected industries and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
should be in force it would fall alike
upon all sections of the country, the
another being in the degree of hardship
imposed.
We hear of workingmen saying that
this time they intend to vote for Mr..
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How Is a tariff for
revenue ignoring the protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election of Sena-
tors by direct vote start the wheels of
industry? Or the publication of cam
paign contributions? Or the further
harassment of the railroads? Or the
reorganization of the House, so that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
Of the world when we have not sufh-
cient demand to consume what we our
selves manufacture? Under Republi-
can rule we have just had ten years of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for any period, long or
short.

Campaign of Education.

In the great battle of 1896 the Re-
publican party again stood for the
maintenance Of the integrity of the ma.
ton. The fight was against odds pro.
duced by a great industrial depression.
and against the most sophistical arg,,.
ments. The Republican party main.
tanned a campaign of education among
the wage-earners and the farmers.
which ultimately led to the complete
defeat of this second financial heresy
which has threatened the integrity of
gu business structure.-Hon. VIM. II.
Taft, at Kansas City, Mo.

Can't Disaffect the Farmers.

The failure of Bryan's desperate at

is illustrated by the manner in which
he was received at Crookston, MINI.
According to Congressman Halvor Stey-

organs speech at Crookston was a
great disappointment. He actually lost
ground there for Democracy. Thous.
ands of people were there to hear him,

was a narrow appeal to farmers, a

BOUTELL ON BRYAN.
Is His "Shall the People RuleP'
Simply "a Local IssueP"

Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
tell of Chicago, commenting on Mr..
Bryan's speech III Iowa, says:
Mr.. Bryan's question, shall the PEG
pie ruler" implies that somewhere in
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do
not rule are the states that are ex-
iected TO give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps
Mr.. Bryan thinks that his question Is
purely "a local issue" II he is sin.
cere, | challenge him to make a speech
In vicksburg, Miss, on Government
by the People" Let him repeat one of
his famous anti-imperlalist speeches,
simply changing three words, SUBSTITUTE
ing mississippi for philippines and
BLACK brothers for brown brothers,
Let him suggest that We have as chair
man of his meeting John Sharp Will
llams, leadAr Of the Democrats in Con-
gress, and as yice-chairmen the other
members of the Congressional delega-
tion from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
in Nieksburg, If he shall have escaped
the rule of the people in that com
munity, | dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his Grafton on popular government in
Charleston, $. c., with Senator Till
man as chairman of his meeting. Mr..
Bryan's sentiments have a purely geo
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de
signed to meet local demands. OF this
nature are all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr.. Bryan's proposition that every
time a trust is formed n tariff sched-
ule should be repealed, and every time
a trust is dissolved a new duty should
be added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
If on March 1 next Mr.. Bryan should
become President, with a Democratic
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de.
livered by him in his speech of last
Friday, 1t would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy aud bring ON industrial
chaos. IL he should begin by repeating
the duty on sugar TO punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
nance by losing $60,0O0,0OO a veal
ia revenues, and would stir up a reyo
luton in Louisiana, Utah. Colorado
and Michigan. Then, IL he should re
peal the duty on cotton goods, because
some hustling manufacturers of New
England or the Carolinas were dunn
ing goods in China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury apd
invite still further industrial ruin.
But, Of course, Mr., Bryan would dc
none of these things, any more thar
he will invade the solid South and sum,
NOR the cohorts of Democracy TO tht
defence of the Constitution with IN,
battle cry Shall the People Rule?'
Mr.. Bryan simply does not mean wbat
he says. What he utters with Chad
bandlan JUNCTION In the North he repudi
ates with Peeksnifian duplicity in tn,
South.
