BRYAN1sM A SERIOUS ISSUE.

"The Bryan candidacy is not taken
seriously by the men one meets in
daily life,9 says Mr.. D. A. Nudge, a
business man of St. Paul, Minn.
The time not to take the Bryan
candidacy seriously will be after the
election. While Bryan is in the field
the fact that he is the candidate Of
the Democracy for President, and
that his success, however improba-
bic, would be a crashing blow to
business interests, ought to make the
issue very serious one for every
business man. Many business men,
seeing the importance of the issue,
are doing everything they can to pro-
mote Republican success, and by tt
election Of Taft and Sherman to as
sure prosperity for the country and
for themselves.

titude Of the Republican party on re-
vision Of the tariff was SO plainly SCI
forth BY Mr.. Taft in his speech al
Milwaukee, Wis, on September "a
that his words ought to be repeated
to every voter in the United States
as convincing and conclusive am
swer to Mr.. Bryan's unfounded as
sertions that the revision viii not be
genuine. Mr.. Estt I.. said;
'The party is pledged to genuine
revision, and as the temporary head
Of that party and President of the
United States, If It Be successful in
November, / expect to use all the in.
fluence that I have by calling i'm
mediately special session, and by
Recommendation to Congress, to se'
cure a genuine and honest revision
of the tariff, in accordance with the
principles of protection laid down
in the platform, based Upon the ex-
..mination Of appropriate evidence,
and impartial as between the con
sumer and the manufacturer"
There is no mistaking the meaning
of anything Mr.. Taft says. There is
nothing Delphic or misleading in his
assertions. There viii be revision
Of the tariff, fair to the person who
buys and the worker who makes
American goods. It win be a genuine
revision, not a pretended tariff for
revenue, like the Democratic Wilson.
German tariff Of fourteen years ago,
which gave protection to certain
powerful interests which needed no
protection, and omitted to protect
the industries on which the farmer
and wage-earner depended for sup
port. The consequence in disaster and
ruin to manufacturers, and distress
and privation to workers have not
been forgotten, and the bitter mem
ories of that period will have no
slight influence in prompting Ameri-
can workingmen to vote for Taft and
Sherman for President and Vice
President fthe United States, and
thereby assuring a revision Of the
tariff by the Republican party, whose
policy it has been from the time the
party came into power to safeguard
American labor from the unfair COM
petition Of the cheap labor Of Europe
and Asia.

II rocks Weighing from one to five
tons each are able to resist the waters
of Meacham creek, the o. R. & N.
company will be troubled no more
with washouts of its grade along the
creek in the Blue mountains.
A steam shovel and work train are
now employed in getting out massive
rock Weighing all the way from one
to five tons as foundations for the
grade which is being built at the
washouts and practically all Of the
grade recently destroyed will be re-
placed with this heavy material In the
hope that a permanent foundation
may be secured.
A monster steam shovel Is at work
in a rock quarry near Meacham and
the side of the mountain Is being
blasted out in securing rock for the
work.
The work OF repairing the grade In
this substantial manner will require
practically all OF the summer season
and a work train will be kept busy
hauling rock and other material for
the repairs.
II it were possible TO change the
grade to higher ground at the places
where the track was damaged. this
would be done. but there is no room
In the narrow canyon for a change.
Consequently the company is deter
mined to make a permanent grade
and will use every device known to en-
