SEVEN GOOD REASONS.
Partial List of the Items Com
posing Logical Opposition to
BRYAN
(From the Omaha Bee.)

(From the Omaha Bee.)
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner has boiled
down into nine paragraphs the reasons
why the Democratic candidate should
be preferred by the voters. Here are
seven paragraphs showing why each of
Mr.. Bryan's reasons are invalid:
First. Mr.. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican party of fail
ing to provide for electing United
States Senators by popular vote Ne
braska has a provision for securing
from the people an expression of choice
on United States Senator, but when
Mr.. Bryan was a candidate for Senator
in 1904 he refused to submit his candi-
dacy to popular vote.
Second. Mr.. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican Congress of
falling to pass law for campaign pub
licity. Every Democratic member of
the House voted against the publicity
law that was passed by Republicans
simply because It included a provision
for an inquiry into Democratic disfran-
chisement of the negro in the South.
Third. Mr.. Bryan is estopped from
accusing the Republican Congress for
failing to pass postal savings bank
bill. He has professed to favor postal
savings banks for years, but now says
he will favor it only in case his guar
anty deposit scheme proves failure.
Fourth. Mr.. Bryan is estopped
from charging the Republican Congress
with passing currency bill "encour-
aging speculative banking" when his
own deposit guaranty scheme would
throw the door wide open to wildcat
banking.
Fifth. Mr.. Bryan's charge of des-
potic rule by the Speaker of the House
Of Representatives is best answered by
legislation enacted during the Roosevelt
administration.
Sixth. Mr.. Bryan should be es-
topped talking about the cost Of living
increasing faster than wages because
under the last Democratic administra-
ton the trouble was to get any wages
at all. incidentally the truth Of the
Bryan assertion may be challenged.
Seventh. Mr.. Bryans reference to
the Republican position on the tariff is
pure buncombe. The Republicans favor
revision whenever changed conditions
require, while Mr.. Bryan wants to go
through continuous performance Of
piece-meal reduction that would para
lyZe all our industries.

TAFT'S INJUNCTIoNS.
President Describes Them as Char,
tiers of Liberty for All.

| ask that every responsible and fair
minded labor leader, every responsible
and fair-minded member of labor
organization, read these (Taft's) in
functions for himself. If he will do so,
instead of condemning them he will
heartily approve of them and will rec
ogniZe this further astonishing fact
that the principles laid down by Judge
Taft in these very injunctions, which
laboring people are asked to condemn,
are themselves the very principles
which are now embodied in the laws
or practices of every responsible labor
organization. The principles which he
therein so wisely and fearlessly laid
down serve as a charter of liberty for
all Of us, for wage workers, for employ
ers, for the general public; for they
rest on the principles of fair dealing
for all, Of eyen-handed justice for all.
They mark the judge who rendered
them as standing for the rights Of the
whole people; as far as daylight is
from darkness, so far is such Judge
from the time-server, the trucker to
the mob, or the crlnging tool Of great,
corrupt and corruptlng corporations

Now that GOmpers has announced

know that anything need be said. How

pourri prepared by officers of the Fed

Commenting on Mr.. Bryan's Labor
Day visit to Chicago, the Building
Trades, the official organ Of the Asso,
ciated Building Trades of Chicago and
Cook county, although a Bryan sup
porter, says Bryan was buncoed when
he visited Chicago. Editorially the pa
per declares that the whole affair look
ed like an attempt to punish organ
iZatiOns that the Fedora ton could not
control, rather than a celebration of
the annual holiday of labor, concluding
with the statement: 1T was not Il
vOte-making day; it was a vote-losing
program"
The Labor World of Pittsburg in a
recent editorial said: 1T is ex-
tremely unfortunate for the trade
union movement that President Com,
pers has reduced himself to the Level
Of mere common, political harangueI
and agitator. He has descended to the
level of the methods of the thorough
going professional political spouter. The
latter invariably lives by besmearing
the characters of others and imputine
all kinds of dishonest motives to his
opponents. This is what President
Gompers has done and is doing now
that he finds himself entangled in q
net the intricacies Of which he had nc
idea when he set out on his Democrat t
! campaigning"

Changing Industrial Conditions.

In the ten years which has elapsed
since the enactment of the Dingley
Tariff, the conditions have so changed
as to make a number Of the schedules
under that tariff too high and some too
low This renders it necessary to re-
examine the schedules In order that the
tariff shall be placed on a purely pro-
tectlve basis. By that mean it should
properly protect, against foreign COM
petition, and afford reasonable profit
to all manufacturers, farmers, and
business men, but should not be so high
as to furnish temptation to the forma-
ton of monopolies to appropriate the
undue profit of excessive rates.-Hon.
VIM. II. Taft, at Kansas City, Mo.

The advocates of a guaranty them
selves advertise the fact that in about
forty-three years Of the national bank
ing system there have been losses on
an average to depositors of only about
one twenty-sixth Of 1 per cent. Why
is the loss 50 small? Exactly because
the banks, under law, provide guar
anty fund for the ultimate redemption
of deposits in (1) the total amount Of
the banks capital; (2) the surplus;
(S) the undivided profits, and a. the
shareholders liability, technically equal
to the capital, but practically about 80
per cent Of 1t. In brief, the bank must
flrst lose an amount equal to all these

Action of Democrats.

The West Virginia Democrats have
declared in State convention that "the
Democratic party is in favor Of so
amending the constitution as to pre-
serve the ballot and the electorate Of
the State from the evils resulting from
comforting such power and privilege"
upon negroes. Mr.. Bryan has nothing
to say about that.
A few misguided negro leaders over
the country have led Mr.. Bryan to be-
lieve that large number of their race
will vote for him this time and on that
account he is lodging the discussion Of
the race question.
1t is unfortunate for the negroes of
the country that Mr. Bryan cannot dis
cuss the plans of the West Virginia
Democrats in this campaign. He has
declared that he cannot discuss the ne
gro question, because it was not men,
toned In the Democratic platform.
That, Of course, will prevent him from
enlightening the negro voters Of the
country as to whether he has changed
his views toward them since last April,
when he made speech in New York
in which he approved the action Of the
Southern States that have disfranchis-
ed negro voters in order to keep the
South solidly Democratic.
