ROOSEVELT AND BRYAN.

The effort of the Democratic press
to couple the names OF President
Roosevelt and william ]. Bryan is
about as successful as that Of few
years ago to coupe Mr.. Bryan's name
with that of Abraham Lincoln by
Senator Tillman. Mr.. Bryan encour-
ages this effort by complimenting
President Roosevelt and asserting
that the president stands for the
Democratic platform and policies.
says the Louisville Herald. But
there is no excuse for misunderstand-
ing the positions OF either President
Roosevelt or Mr.. Bryan. They have
both been very free in expressing
their views on all public questions
and their expressions are public prop
erty. On the tariff the president has
expressed himself unqualifiedly as a
Professionals, and said that the tariff
should not be revised until revisionI
would do more good than harm to
the great interests of this country.
II should then be revised in harmony
with the protective principle.
Mr.. Bryan is one of the most rad
Teal opponents of protection. He de-
clares that protection is robbery and
that the tariff should be for revenue
only. There is no more harmony be-
tween Roosevelt and Bryan on the
tariff than there is between Speaker
Cannon and John Sharpe Williams,
or than there was between William
Mckinley and William d. Wilson,
who was an open advocate OF free
trade.
There Is the same radical disagree
ment between President Roosevelt
and Mr. Bryan on the money ques-
fion. The president is just as staunch
an advocate of the gold standard as
was President Mckinley, and Mr..
Bryan still believes that he was right
in 1896 when he made his memoir
able campaign for free silver.
They are as wide apart on this
,question as are the poles of the
earth. These two recognized leaders
OF the two great political parties have
no views in common on any of the
old issues. nor have they anything in
common in their views on the Phil
ippines. And on the latest issue of
Mr.. Bryan's they are as far apart as
was Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson
Davis back in 1861
President Roosevelt believes in
Government control OF railroads, just
as he believes in Government regula-
ton OF the great corporations. which
ignore the sherman antitrust law.
in fact. the president is in complete
harmony with the Republican record
on these questions as that record is
