An American humorist OF q former
generation was wont to formulate a
quaint philosophy by saying: 1T Is
better not to know 80 much than to
know SO much that isn't So" 1t ap-
pears that the trainers Of Democratic
platforms would do well to bear the
proverb in mind and govern them
selves accordingly. The American
Economist points out a couple Of
breaks" made at Denver which plac,
the authors Of the platform and those
who blindlyvoted for the resolutions
IN a somewhat awkward position:
"Our Washington correspondent
point out two brilliant specimens OF
Democratic laundering on the Tariff
question. The Denver platform woul
materially reduce the Tariff on art
icles competing with such American
manufacturers as are sold abroad
more cheaply than at home. and
would have logs placed on the free
list. The first declaration would nee
essitate the repeal Of the drawback
section of the Tariff law, which ex-
pressly provides for selling abroad
at lower prices than at home by re-
batting to the exporter all Tariff dut-
les which he may have paid on i'm
ported materials entering into the
goods exported. The second declar-
alton demands that logs be made fire.
of duty. when logs are already on the
free list. Evidently the gifted states
man who framed the Denver platform
have never read the Dingley Tariff
law"
1t il nothing new. of course. for op
ponents of Protection to misrepresen
and distort the provisions Of a Pro
tective Tariff law. But 1t is not Of
ten that an assailant of Protection
puts his foot in 1t" SO completely

1--WE Farmer. Don't See IT,

Nj long ago an editorial In the
New York World" appealed to the
farmers II the United States to rally
to the support Of a party which is
pledged to reduce q Tariff taxation
which the farmer according to the
Worlds argument) is forced to
pay on everything he buys. while get
ting no benefit from anything he
sells. This Is an exploded theory
which has been 20 completely dis
countensnced in the past eleven year
Of phenomenal prosperity for farmers

American farmers are the bac kbon,

vides q nearby market for their pro-
ducts at greatly increased prices The
had just passed through the disma !
when values Of farm products and
farm lands In four years shrunk more
than five billion dollars. and they
were quick to note the changed condi
lions brought by restored Protection.
In eleven years they have recouped
teir losses many times over. and to-
day they are the rela monye magma
tes d the country.
But the WORLD editorial did one
good thing when 1t brought out the
following responce from a New York
State farmer:
To the Editor OF the World: /

Toledo. Ohio. Aug. 30.-William H.
Taft today went through the State of
Ohio, leaving behind him q trail OF
speeches and political enthusiasm
that will doubtless cause a surprise
to the campaign managers. as his triI
from Virginia Hot Springs to the Mid
die Bass Fishing Club has been plan
ed to be devoid OF polotics. But at
Athens. after delivering the speech
he had prepared for the veterans and
which had no politics in 1t, Mr.. Taft
was whisked away to the Taft Club.
where, following an introduction by
Arthur l. Vorys, in which 1t was hint
ed that this might be a good oppor-
tunity for the candidate to try his
powers as a political speaker, with
the view of inducing the national
committee to allow him to take the
stump. the candidate spoke for TWEEN
ty minutes. In this time Mr.. Taft
discussed many Of the important feat
ures of the campaign. 1t was MOTTO
able that the language Of this speech
was more vigorous and the manner
of the candidate more animated than
heretofore.
There is one brief way to deal
with the story which has been cir
culated that have said that a dollar
a day was enough for any laboring
man." calculated Judge Taft in the
midst Of his speech. Its a lie."
The speaker came down on both
heels and hung onto the last word Of
this sentence with an emphatic tena-
city which brought the several hun
bred listeners to their feet with
cheers. There were many climaxes
in this speech which seemed also to
please. Judge Taft defended his Judi
cial decisions in labor cases with the
statement that when acting as a judi
ge he endeavored to render judgment
In accordance with the Law and the
facts. land l have no apologies to

In this connection Mr.. Taft said he
would be willing to receive the judg-
lent of any man who would read the
re ords in these cases and the recent
decisio Is he had rendered.
He expressed his approval Of labor
Organizations and dissected the labor
plank of the Democrats. with the con
