Mr.. Taft then referred to Mr.
Bryan's advocacy of free silver when
he was trying to persuade the people
to resort to the dishonest method OF
paying off their debts by issuing de.
based money, which would be equiva
lent to the payment of what the nation
and the people owe at the rate of SO
cents on the dollar" AS to that Mr
Taft said:
In that campaign Mr. Bryan prophe.
sled that the continuation of the gold
standard meant uncertainty in employ.
ment of labor and hardship to the
wage Garner; that it would send down
the price of farm products-wheat be-
low so cents, corn below 80 cents, and
oats to cents He did not have to
live two years to see every prophecy
that he made in that campaign refuted
BY the fact. ss q
TAFT SAID that Bryan's whole his
tory is a record of promises and proph-
ecies unfnlflled, record of repudia-
ton, of negation and of running away
from national responsibilities Con
Gliding his analysis of the Bryan char
acter and his review of the Bryan rec
ord, Judge Taft said:
THE record OF Mr. Bryan and his
character as it is understood by a
twelve years acquaintance with him,
have impressed the business commune
ty of this country and those whose
Judgment determines whether or not
capital shall be invested that he is not
safe man with whom to try expert
ments in government; that he loves fl
nancial theories that are full of so
phistry and are imDractical that he
advances propositions with but little
sense of responsibility as to how they
may be carried out in practice, and
that he gives but little attention to the
welfare of the conservative business
community in his suggestions OF re-
form.
Certainly his record justifies this
judgment of him by the business men.
If he were to be elected, unquestion-
ably, because of his record, however
much now he may seek to pose as a
observation-disclosures of his record,
because he has proposed the theories
which he has proposed for the last
twelve years, his election will mean
paralysis of business, and we should
have recurrence of the disastrous
business conditions of the last Demo
cratic administration

During the four years OF Jeffersons

During the four years OF Jefferson
first term as president the country had
prospered beyond precedent. The
Louisiana purchase had been perfect,
ed, greatly to the satisfaction Of the
people. The government had been con
Quoted with economy and the national
debt had been largely reduced. The
national honor had been defended
against the Barbary pirates. Jeffer,
sons popularity was at it's zenith, and
he received as ready denomination
on the Republican ticket for president
as had Washington the first time.
Jefferson was unanimously renomin-
ated in February, 1904. by caucus OF
the Republican senators and represent
tatives in congress. George Clinton,
many years governor Of New York
state, became his associate on the
ticket for vice president Clinton had
run once before for vice president, be.
ing defeated at the time of Washing
toms second election by John Adams.
The evidence Of the popularity OF
the Republican party and this ticket
of Jefferson and Clinton robbed the
fast declining Federalst party Of any
hope of success. The Federalists mum.
bered but handful and their strength
was confined almost entirely to New
England. Many of them had vigor,
ously opposed the purchase of Louisi,
ana and had even discussed the with.
drawal Of the eastern states from the
Union and the formation of an eastern
Confederacy The Federalist ticket
could not compare for a passing mo.

ment with that of the Republican.
They nominated Charles G. Pinckney
of South Carolina for president, and
Rufus King of New York for vice
president They made particularly
desperate effort to secure the vote of
New York state. Their plan was to
push Aaron Burr, then vice president
as an independent candidate for gov
ernor, to succeed Clinton, Republican
nominee for vice president to sue
coed Burr, Again Alexander Hamil-
ton entered the arena, and again he
threw his influence against Burr.
Again the old wounds were opened,
and almost on the eve of the presi-
fought their duel, which caused the
latter's untimely end
With such condition existing it
was but the record of the decision OF
an all-wise providence when the votes
were formally counted and the result
determined. Jefferson and Clinton re.

Pinckney and King received but ID
Only Connecticut, Delaware and a

stands today, providing for the nee.

TAFT,s VIEW OF BRYAN.

One of the most telling speeches of
the present campaign was that made
by Judge Taft last night at Cincinnati
in which Mr.. Bryan's public record
was held up as evidence of the Demo
cratic candidates unfitness. Mr.. Taft
called attention to Bryan's advocacy
of free silver, of imperialism, and of
the government ownership of railroads
and referred to him as a dreamer, a
man of promises but not of fulfillment;
a candidate whose gloomy predictions
of the past if the Republicans should
win, were discounted by years of pros
perity under Republican rule.
Mr.. Bryan reviewed his opponents
congressional record, referring to his
activity in formulating the provisions
of the Gorman-Wilson bill, the results
of which he summarized as follows:
ut leveled the industries of this
country to the ground 1t threw out
of employment millions of wage-earn-
ers. 1t destroyed all business profit.
Farm products, for lack of market,
fell to point never so low in forty
years. Coxey's army marched from
