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

(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 PROGRESSED
enemy Of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, If at 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 Vir-
ginia, etc. 1t does not seem to matter
to him that every dollars worth or for
eign goods in the competitive class COM
ing into the United States on 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 rebule and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him in 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 1t would fall alike
upon all sections of the country, the
only differences between one State and
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 sufIi-
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.

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 great Industrial depression,
and against the most sophistical argu-
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
our business structure.-Hon. VIM. Ii.
Taft, at Kansas City, Mo.

HOW TAFT WAS SOUGHT BY
M'KIMEY.
The Manner in Which the Republi.

The Manner in Which the Republi-
can Candidate Was Called to a
Larger Sphere Of Action.
One afternoon early in 1900, when
Judge William II. Taft was debating
a decision OF the United States Court
in the Federal building in Cincinnati,
a telegram was placed in his hands.
He tore off the envelope and was sur
prised to find telegram from Presi-
dent William Mckinley, reading:
II shall take it as a great favor if you
will call on me some time next week."
Judge Taft guessed at the meaning
Of the summons and guessed wrong.
He went TO Washington and was shown
into room at the White House, where
he met the President and Secretary
Long of the Navy. Later, Elihu Root.
the Secretary of War, came in. Then,
to use Mr.. Taft's own words:
''Mr. Mckinley said that he wanted to
send me to the Philippines to help in the
work of establishing civil government as
the army moved on. l thought of my
place on the bench and hesitated. Be
sides, l believed and said we could get
along without the Philippines.
"'But we have them and must take
care of them the President replied.
"'You are at the turning of the ways
in your life Mr.. Root then observed
'The bench is the easy road. You can
stay there and be comfortable. On the
contrary, the Philippines will demand per-
sonal sacrifices and risks and much hard
work, but you will have an opportunity
of doing your country very great SER
vice. | went home, and argued the mat
ter for two weeks"
Tie telegram to Cincinnati opened
the door of American history to Will
liam III. Taft and made him the Repub-
lican candidate for President of the
United States.

of the Workingman.
(From the Concord IN. H. Monitor.)
The Labor World comes out strongly
in it's advocacy of Mr.. Taft. 1t charac-
terizes him true friend of labor and
declares that the unfair attacks OF Mr..
Gompers will have little or no effect in
alternating from him the labor world.
1t says: That Secretary Taft is a true
friend of labor is certain, and all the
untrue. ungenerous, vicious attacks
that President Gompers or any one else
may make on him cannot prevent him
from continuing to be the friend of the
wage worker. Organized labor cannot
afford to have Itself split 10 into fac

most oIninous fight is certain, and in

NOMINATION. 1Or mayor OF Wlcnlla, DuC Whhe Ihe
election campaign in progress the Haymarket
riots took place at Chicago with such fatal results
and his political enemies, consisting of church
people, used this argument against him,
claiming that the radcalsm of DIR. Martin, if elected
would involve Wichita in similar conflict. This
had its effect and DIR. Martin met with defeat.
Though frequently urged to make the race again he
steadfastly declined. He now took post graduate
course at the Rush Medical College, and once more
resumed the practice of medicine
DIR. Martin was essentially Fraternalist. AS
member of the Free and Accepted Masons he rose,
step by step, to the 33rd degree or the highest
that masonry can confer This had been one of the
ambitions of his life but he never realized it, Before
he could leave for Scotland to take the degree he
was stricken with paralysis from which he never
recovered This affction came over him in 1881
and after lingering for more than three years he
died in September, 1894. His daughter Isis b.
Martin became one Of the most widely known
women in Kansas, a frequent contributor to
the Freethought press of the country and finally
became the wife of John R. Charesworth, who
ring on the Freethought platform, and is now the

explained the conditions. Mr.. Bah
cock explained the matter at the
time to Mr. Charlie Frank, and left
instructions that when this dam
should be closed this spring it was
imperative to see to it that it should
be closed gradually so as to permit an
overflow or spill the entire time.
The first Of last week Mr.. Babcock
sent word to Mr. Charlie Frank, Of
your place, who is looking after our
dams in your vicinity, directing the
closing of dams generally, including,
of course, the one on Deerskin, and
he went to Eagle River Thursday of
last week to see that everything was
right. He saw Mr. Frank, who had
been quite sick and was still confined
to his home and learned that the
men had gone to Hackley on the
train, and would walk in from there
to DeerSkin dam to do this work. Mr..
BabcOck reminded Nj. Frank of the
Importance of having this dam closed
so as to have a continual overflow or
spill. Mr.. Frank explained that his
instructions had properly provided
for this, but it seems that when the
men returned and reported to him he
was not satisfied that the very i'm
plicit instructions given by Mr.. Bah
cock had been carried out, and he
wrote Mr. Babcock Tuesday, March
3lst, that he would send man there
at once to watch this dam and pre-
vent the possibility Of any injury to
fish i'm the river below This dam
would no doubt have been closed I'M
