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

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. 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 of 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
ho1 Ofb h
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
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 suffi-
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.

Mr.. Taft Compares Republican and

(From Mr. Taft's Speech of Accep-

The chief difference between the Re
publican and the Democratic platforms
is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies of Mr.
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Roosevelts policies
have been progressive and reguIative :;
Mr.. Bryans destructive. Mr.. Roose-
Welt has favored regulation of the busi-
ness in which evils have grown up so
as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business to continue. The tendency
of Mr.. Bryan's proposals has generally
been destructive of the business with re-
spect to which he is demanding reform.
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
TO conduct their business in a lawful

are an important part; While Mr..

Can't Disaffect the Farmers

The failure of Bryan's desperate at
tempts to curry favor with the farmers
is illustrated by the manner in which
he was received at Crookston Mimi
According to Congressman Halvor Stew
enson the event went off as follows ::
"Bryan's speech at Crookston was a
great disappointment. He actually lost
ground there for Democracy Thous-
ands Of reople were there to hear him.
and waited till ten O'Clock in the even
ing before he appeared. The address
was a narrow appeal to farmers, a
harangue. trying to prejudice them
against Republicanism. 1t didn't take
at all. Only once was there the slight
est symptom of applause. He spoke to
a silent. disappointed audience"

BOUTELI ON BRYAN.
Is His "Shall the People Rulep"
Simply "a Local IssueP"

iAP1J AOCd1 4SSoSb
Congressman Henry Sherman Bou-
| tell OF Chicago, commenting on Mr..
Bryan's speech in Iowa, says:
Mr.. Bryan's question, "Shall the peo-
pie rule?" 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-
pected to give overwhelming majorities
| for the Democratic ticket Perhaps
Mr.. Bryan thinks that his question is
| purely "a local issue" If he is sin
cere, l challenge him to make a speech
in Nicksburg, Miss, on Government
by the People" Let him repeat one of
his famous anti-imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitut-
ing Mississippi for philippines" and
'black brothers. for Drown brothers." :"
Let him suggest that we have as chair
man Of his meeting John Sharp Will
liams, leader of the Democrats in Con
gress, and as vice-chairmen the other
members of the Congressional delega-
ton from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
in Vicksburg, if he shall have escaped
the rule of the people in that com
munity, l dare Mr.. Bryan to repeat
his grafton on popular government in
Charleston, S. c., with Senator Till
man as chairman of his meeting Mt
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 trust is formed a tariff sched-
ule should be repealed, ana every time
a trust is dissolved a new duty should
be added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
If on March 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, it would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy and bring on Industrial
chaos. If he should begin by repeating
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
| finances by losing $6000O,OOO a year
in revenues, and would stir up a revo-
luton in Louisiana, Utah, Colorado
| and Michigan. Then, If 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 and
invite still further industrial ruin.
But, Of course, Mr. Bryan would do
none Of these things, any more than
he will invade the solid South and sum-
mon the cohorts of Democracy to the
defence of the Constitution with the
battle cry Shall The People Ruler"
Mr.. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What he utters with Chad
bandian unetion in the North he repudi
! ates with Pecksniffian duplicity in the
South.

Trade Union Labels,

Fourteen Republican States and only
one Democratic State-Nevada-
laws in force prohibiting employers
from discharging persons on account of
membership in labor organizations, or
from compelling persons to agree not
tions as condition of securing employ
ment or continuing in their employ.
Forty States have passed laws allowing
trade unions to adopt labels or trade
marks to be used to designate products
of the labor Of their members, and pro-
hibiting the cOunterfeiting of the use
of such labels or trademark by IN
authorized persons. OF these States
twenty eight are Republican and twelve
are Democratic.
The foregoing presents for considera-
ton by intelligent, patriotic labor sub
stantial facts and figures taken from
the statute books Of the several States.
No platitude can upset them. They
prove the records of the Republican
party and of the Democracy on the la
Dor issue. and they must convince ev-
cry reasonable reader that the Republi-
can party has not only brought Ameri-
can labor up to its present honorable
standard. but that labor can look only
to the Republican party for assurance
of protection and prosperity in the
future.
