the interests of the railway employe and
the railway employer are identical, and
that they have the right and that they
ought. In order to look after their inter-
ests. to unite in politics to see that a
square deal is given in the treatment of
railroads and that unjust legislation
against railroads should meet their con-
demnation as much as 1t does that or the
stockholders and officers of the railroad.
When We have that calm, deliberate con-
clusion. a sensible one, reached by the
railway orders. we may know that labor
and capital are coming together on COM
mon ground, and that 1t must work for
the benefit of the public at large. The
railway orders do not defend railways
In violating the law, but they do insist
that they shall earn a fair profit; that
tney shall be treated as other 1nstru-
mentalit1es founded on private enterprise
and involving private capital should be
treated-namely, that they should have
a right to earn a fair profit and to pay
their dividends and to pay their men
accordingly"
Pays Respects to Bryan.

spects to Mr.. Bryan as an inspirer of
confidence. Mr.. Taft said:
Orders are being made today and con-
tracts are being made today contingent on
the election of the republican ticket, al
though Mr.. Bryan would have you think
these are political arguments. Business
men do not sit up nights thinking how
to make contracts which shall affect the
election, but it is because they really
believe that the November election is go
Ing to determine whether we shall go back
to the prosperity Of more than a year
ago or whether we shall go down to that
natural limitation of democratic panics
and four years depression, and why
should 1t not be SO? What is there in
the record of the democratic candidate to
commend him to men who have the con-
troll of investing capital as insuring a
business certainty and future? What
is there in his record tending to show
that he knows a sound, economic theory
when he hears it or sees it? What is
there to lead conservative business men
to believe that he will not. should OPP
portunity come and a stringency attack
us, make an executive order, which he
might do, which should put US on prac-
tically silver basis. The investment of
money Is controlled not on patriotic but
on strictly business principles, and the
men who advance 1t live in Europe and
in this country. and they know Mr.. Bryan.
They cannot help having known him for
the last twelve years as we know him,
and l submit to you. ladies and gentle
men, republicans and democrats, whether
anything could happen in the history of
the country that would render the bust
ness future of the country SO uncertain,
and therefore so little likely to inspire
confidence, as his election to the presi-
dency."
