The Republican Party's Own Answer.

done in the last four years of govern.

For this question the Rochester

finds a striking answer. This is the
answer which the Union and Adver

precipitated panic, blighted industry
and trade with prolonged depression,
closed factories, reduced work and
wages, halted enterprise and crippled

sAReEANT ON TAFT.
He Declared that Judge Taft Re.

men when Judge Taft reduced rail.
road trainmen to machines to do the
bidding of master" Here are some
extracts from an article written by
Mr.. Sergeant about the decision by
Judge Taft that was a grievous
wrong:
IF a Judge Of the United States
court The was discussing Judge Taft's
decision1 may abolish this right OF
an employee, he remands him. un.
equivocally. to servitude as degrad:;
ing as the spartans imposed upon
their helots, and it is this phase of the
strike which has aroused such in.
tense concern and alarm. '''
1T. will not be expected that ]
should enter upon discussion of the
legal points involved; at best can
only voice the sentiments Of body
of law-abiding men who have been
trained by their organizations to re.
spect laws and the decisions of courts.
and who find themselves suddenly re.
duced to the condition of peonage by
the de"ision of a United States judge"
1T is asserted that railroads be-
come common carriers. but are I'm.
able to perform their obligations with.
out men. They must have men, and
1t should be stated they must have
engines. fuel, water, steam, tracks.
etc. The locomotives and equipments
can be purchased and become the
property of the road, but they are
useless without men, and these, once
secured, the general manager, speak.
ing as II by authority, intimates that
they become fixtures, because, with.
out them, as without engines. the OBJ
legations of the railroads cannot be
performed; such is the newfangled
logic relied upon to reduce railroa
trainmen to machines, to do the bid
ding of masters with authority con.
ferred by United States Judge. In
at least one notable instance United
States Judge has shown his utter con.
tempt for sovereign state and the
laws made in conformity with the
constitution. and has sent county off
cials to prison because they would not
disregard their oaths and obey his
mandate-and 1t will readily be con.
ceded, II such high.handed outrage
can be perpetrated and the Judge re.
main unimpeached. that Judge may.
with equal impunity, subject railroad
employees to autocratic indignities."
"But It so happens that while men
debate such propositions. embodying
self.evident truths. the court. with ar
iron grip, holds freemen in bondage.
and the victims are as powerless as
when. under another exhibition OF
power, men we're sold at the auction
block"

"'oJ w 'NSA0SS0 Vuey TCT SSUts
On August %, 1907. Mr.. H. E. Miles,
chairman of the tariff committee Of
the National Association of Manufac
turers, wrote to Senator Foraker a
letter in which Mr.. Miles said:
about forty per cent of all the
members of our association who have
by correspondence pronounced for re.
vision declare in their letters that
their own schedules MAY PROPERLY
BE REDUCED FIFTY PER CENT OR
MORE WITHOUT HURT TO THEIR
RESPECTIVE INDUSTRIES OR TO
THE COUNTRY AT LARGE"
How exorbitant must be this prec.
ious tariff fostered by the Republican
party when even forty per cent of its
beneficiaries. frightened by the rising
tide of public sentiment, admit that
their own schedules may properly be
reduced fifty per cent or more without
hurt to their respective industries. or
to the country at large"
If the common everyday experience
of the consumers is not sufficient to
awaken Republican voters to the
iniquity of the existing tariff system,
surely the confession in the letter re-
ferred to ought at least to challenge
attention and invite thoughtful inves
tigation.
