STALWART AND SOUND.
Nominee for yfce-President Declares
Fidelity to ReDublieau PoIicies


There is no doubtful note in Candi-
date Sherman's tariff expressions. His
speech Of Aug. IS, responding to the
official notification of his nomination
by the Republican party for the vice
presidency rings true to protection.
First, then, let me say that | am a
protectionist." No one doubts it. Long
years of faithful and efficient service
as Representative in Congress have
proved 1t. Mr.. Sherman has never wab-
bled on the tariff. He has always be-
lieyed that American labor and indus
try should have the first lien on the
American market So far as his voice
and influence can affect legislation he
will as Vice President be found on the
side of unrelaxed and adequate pro-
lection.
He believes in the reasonable profit
declaration of the Republican platform
"a reasonable profit not alone for the
manufacturers whose capital is invest
ed, but for the wage Garner as well
For the farmer who supplies the raw
material, for the miner who digs the
coal and the ore, and for every hand
that helps to produce and market the
finished product
Without profit there can be no bust
ness. Mr. Sherman would first insure
profits by shutting out unfair and in
furious competition, and would then di
vide up the profits among all that are
entitled to share.
Experience has proved that profits
disappear when foreigners are allowed
to undersell American labor In the
American market Also that employ
ment disappears and wages shrink
leaving the wage Garner only beggar
ly share of the profits, and probably nc
share at all.
A revision of the tariff with the ''rea
sonable profit principle strictly adj
hered to is the pressing need of the
time. 1t Is because of the heavy inflow
Of cheaper products from abroad that
reasonable profits have become impos

Some persons say that if Bryan were

lican for four years more at least. re-
gardiess OF any mutations which may
come i'll the presidency or the House OF

papers which opposed Bryan not only
for the nomination, but until long ar

ceptance Of his candidacy on the theory
that tie Republican Senate would make
a cipher of him If he should carry the
country. Those papers ought TO under
stand that If Bryan could do nothing i'm

should be kept out of the presidency.
Representative Burke of the Pitts

harinlcssness is a mistake. He roints
out that the Executive Department III

flict harm on the country.
1t is mistake to suppose that the
election OF a man like Bryan would
bring no i'll effects TO the country HIS

enforced by some new Senator's OF the

the Republican line in some spots. for
Bryan victory could easily be made

bench are likely 10 be vacated during
the term of the President who will take

1--WE FARMERS Don't See H.
Not long ago an editorial in the New
York World appealed 10 the farmers
of the United States to rally to the sup
port OF a party which is pledged to re-
duce tariff taxation which the farm
err according to the Worlds argument)
is force1 to pay On everything ,he buys,
while getting no benefit from anything
he sells. This is an old, exploded the
DRY which has been So completely dis
countenanced in the past eleven years
of phenomenal prosperity for farmers
that the World ought not to resort TO
its use
American farmers are the backbone
of protection They know perfectly well
what they get out of it. When Bryan
was beaten In 1896 and Mckinley and
the Dingley tariff touched the button
that started the wheels in the mills and
factories the farmers were among the
first TO realize the value of a policy
which provides a nearby market for
their products at greatly increased
prices. They had just passed through
the dismal tariff reform period of
1S93-9I, when values of farm products
and farm lands in four years shrunk
more than NE billion dollars. and they
were quick to note the changed condi-
tons brought by restored protection. In
eleven years they have recouped their
losses many times over, and to-day they
are the real money magnates of the
country.
But the World editorial did one COOL
thing when it brought out the follow

The new diplomacy" inaugurated In
the foreign policy of the United States
proclaims truth and frankness as Its
characteristics. Ii Is the absolute can
dor of Mr. TAFT in consulting openly
with his predecessor in the White
House upon questions relating 10 the
public good as allied with Republican
victory that so confounded his critics.
There is nothing so dazzling as the
white light of courageous candor.
Both political parties can fly the
American flag on land, but it is the Re-
publican party that would keep the
American flag flying at sea over the
American merchant marine
When Mr. Taft delivered his speech
Of acceptance the country understood
why he could not make ii shorter.
Every word counts, and every word
tells; not one could be spared
Taft hits hard. He is in the heavy
weight class and the opposition recog-
nizes that there is nothing soft about
his fighting Every blow he lands is
weighted with the force Of conviction
The Republican national campaigners

independence in the several states The
meek democracy is learning that Bry-
al bossism recognizes no local freedom
of action.

Readers Of the New York World are
wondering what has become OF Its

Mr.. Taft doesn't seem quite SO anx-

admirers have been assuring him that

Twelve years OF talking os the part
of Mr.. Bryan having failed to cure the
public of Its lack Of confidence IN his
craftsmanship, he will do some more
talking.

poslts. When Bryan ran the first time
il was worried for lack OF bank depos-

TAFT GAINING STRENGTH.
Independent Political Writer Finds
Republican Candidate Popular.

Walter Wellman, the Washington
correspondent OF the Chicago Record
Herald, thinks Taft is gaining strength.
Writing Of his candidacy recently he
said:
1t Is not denied that for some weeks
after the Chicago convention there was
IN the East, ut least, an undertone Of
rejudice against Judge Taft. slrinsing
rom the belief that he was Il mere

been nominated but for the President )
aid, and that he is only q stalking horse

enough many men who like Roosevelt,
and would vote for him If he were 10

sible. Accordingly mills and factories
are running on reduced time, or not
running at all, and 100000 artisans
are out of employment.
Mr.. Sherman interprets the Republi-
can platform as promising to remedy
these bad conditions by such revision
of the tariff as shall bring return of
needful protection. When that shall
have been done there will he no idle
mills and factories, and the 1000, 900
artisans will get back their jobs.
Surely this is worth striving for. If
there Is in this campaign single issue,
or any group OF combined issues, so i'm
portant as the question of restoring
prosperity by restoring work and wages
we do not know what those issues are.
