the republican party is known
to all and the American people
will neither be confused nor
mislead by adroit thrust or
pleader's skill. Their good
Judgment may be trusted to
maintain a proper sense of pro-
portion and to make a just esti-
mate OF the work which has been
accomplished.
The business of the great ma
tional departments has been in
worthy and competent hands.
The mention alone OF the names
of Hay, Root and Taft suffice to
call attention to the honorable
conduct of affairs in which all
our citizens take Just pride.
The dignity and honor of the
nation have been maintained

have been adjusted with an &C.

ON PRENIpERTIAL FIRING LINE
Concerning the Democratic Appeal
to American Farmers

noeSn I I Il is violent appeal
which the democrats, in their eff
tort 10 raise campaign funds, are
making To tile farmers of the
country. smack somewhat of bare
faced etlrontery?
They are not only asking the
men who till the soil and are the
backbone of America for their
moral support, but the democrats
III their frenzy would have the
agriculturaliSt believe that it is
incumbent upon them to support
Bryan financially as we'll.
Why? What has the democratic
party ever done for the farmers
of the United States that they
should be appealed TO and almost
told that it is their duty to swell
the funds of the bourbons?
Why the farmers should be
made to pay tribute to the demo-
cratic party is not plain unless it
be on the principle of licking the
hand that smote them. There is
not a single instance in the his
tory of this country where agri-
culture has been benefited by
democratic rule, but there is plen-
ty of evidence to show that the
farmers have often been ruined
by the maladministration of that
party.
The last time the farmers came
near going the demnitior bow
bows was under democratic rule.
We need not go back far to show
that nearly every farm in the
United States was mortgaged and
every farmer on the verge of
bankruptcy. The facts can be
had for the asking, If there is
anyone to dispute the statement.
This is not the specious plead
ing of a campaign orator, or of
some one irving to delude the I'M
wary. The assertion here made
can be backed by the records
found in the archives of the agri-
cultural department at Washing
ton.
The best friend the farmer in
this country ever had in power is
the republican party. There are
a thousand reasons why the agri-
culturalists should support the
republican nominees, not one for
their lending either moral or
financial support to the demo-

recognized that the skirts OF
neither party have been clean.
If we search Mr.. Bryan'S fol
lowing we shall find not Il few
who have sinned. and also those
who, if We may Judge from their
local activities, are still unre.
pentant. The democratic party
cannot claim unsullled virtue
either with regard to the source
of Its revenues or its readiness
to receive them. And wher
criticism is melted out to the
republican party on this score
justice requires that it should
also receive credit for the re

ernmental activity, and the vel
fare of the nation with regard
both to present needs and to the
requirements of future develop
ments have been the paramont
concern.
When we consider the newt
able conflict of many opinions
and the importance of the ques-
tons involved the record of pro-
gressive legislation is extra
ordinary. The creation of the
bureau OF corporations, the
railroad rate bill, the pure food
bill, the meat inspection bill,
the employers liability bill and
the laws passed for the better
protection of labor constitute 4
record OF legislation which no
Just critic can afford to mini
mize and which attests in a
marked manner the response of
the republican party under its
forcetul leadership to the de-
mands OF the people.
If all that Mr.. Bryan has fav-
ored during the last twelve
years had been enacted into law
we should have been overwhelm-
ed with disaster and would re-
gard it as our chief business in
the future to find a way of es-
cape from the meshes of ill.con-
sidered legislation in which We
would have been entangled. 1t
Is fortunate for him as well as
for us that he was defeated and
whatever may be his present
polltlcal' potentlality may be
ascrlbed to the fact that hither-
to he has not been permitted to
carry out his program. No
doubt much remains to be &C
complished in the way of nee
essary reform, but the record
already made by the republican
party is a noteworthy one and
we must make further advances
with care and needed reflection.

Mr.. Bryan says that the dem

have added that it is as signiti-

other. Lincoln said, I'm the

1t NAV also be said that in the
presence of formal written plat

dates cannot be forgotten.
Silence is often eloquent. In
the election this fall we choose
men. not distractions. Plat
forms must be read in the light
of history and they may be elo-
quent of past mistakes and mis-
guided agitations which their
sponsors would gladly ignore,
but which the nation will dc
well to remember.
There are a thousand eXigen-

by any platform. The sagacity
