SEES NOTHING BUT HARMONY
DIRECTOR OF REPUBLICAN LIT.
ERARY BUREAU HERE.
Talks in Optimistic Vein Of Political
Outlook-Former Doubtful
States Now for Taft.

Francis Curtis, director of the literary
bureau of the republican congressional
campaign committee, and associated with
the literary2bureau of the national commit
tee during the campaign, is in the city to-
day on business for the committees. When
seen yesterday at the local headQuar-
tiers of the congressional committee, he
ridiculed the statement that there is any
adverse criticism by the President or the
candidates of the management Of the CAM
paign or of Chairman Hitchcock and his
associates.
Mr. Curtis also denied most emphatical-
ly that there was any friction between the
national and congressional committees.
He is sort Of a connecting link between
the two committees. and knows of every
united transaction. He said this after
noon:
There is the utmost good feeling and
harmony, and every request of the con-
gressional committee has been met with
promptly and fully"
headquarters, but visits the congressional
headquarters for conferences with Chair
man Mckinley and Secretary Louden-
slayer. He is not only optimistic, but en-
thusiaStic. Said he:
Situation Doubtful No Longer.
Taft and Sherman will surely be EJECT.
ed and Bryan will only add Oklahoma to
his 1900 list. If certain states did look
doubtful a fortnight ago, they are now
regarded as in the sure republican COL
umn.
AS for the work that is being done, Mr..
Curtis, while remarking that forty dol
lars worth OF work can't be accomplished
on 81, nevertheless declared that in the
literary and speakers bureaus there is
as much, if not more, being accomplished
than four years ago.
He is full of praise for the work of
Dick Ouahan. He says his work is
being carried out most systematically
and efficiently. Mr.. Oulahan has charge
Of all the literary work of. the national
committee.

Inittee. said he. is working until midnight
every night, and on all three floors occu-
pied in the Metropolitan building there is
not a discordant note.
Regarding the congressional outlook Mr..
Curtis said it was not time to make any
prediction, as all the nominations would
| there will be gains and undoubtedly some
losses by the republicans. but he says 1t
is confidently expected at the headquar-
tiers that the next House Will be republic
can by a good working majority.
Mr. Curtis will return to New York to-
morrow to remain until after election,
when he will resume his duties here in
| charge of the permanent congressional
headquarters.

non who vouched for him. But as a mat
ter Of fact, Mr.. Sherman's standpatism
needed no endorsement; his. record is a
guaranty that no beneficiary of special
privileges will be disturbed. II was Con-
gresham Sherman who, in a speech in the
house on the 18th of last April, boastfully
declared, w recognize the fact that we
have a republican majority in the senate,
that we have a republican majorite In the
house, that is ready 10 resort to every
legal, every proper constitutional right TO
enact such legislation as 1t deems for the
best interest for the greatest number of
our people, and which is willing and ready
to accept full responsibility for all those
measures which are introduced here and
which are not enacted into law.
In ordinary affairs there is no difference
between a tariff reformer and a protec-
ZIONIST. They meet together I'm business,
in society, in the lodge room and In the
church. In theft daily life they apply the
same rules and are guided by the same
itself all through life and up to the very
hour Of death. If a protectionist makes a
will, he makes 1t upon the same plan that
the tariff reformer follows, As death APP
proaches, he estimates the value of his
property, leaves to his wife and children
what he wishes them TO have, and then
makes such requests as he likes to public
institutions and to those outside Of the
family; and such part as he leaves to his
wife and children, he carefully divides
among them, giving TO each a definite
share. He does not give all his property
to one child and say that he trusts the
child to deal fairly with the rest OF ne
children and would not put a child in a
position where se%lfishness might lead him
to do injustice to other members OF the
family. No. he would not trust his own
flesh and blood to deal fairly with those
reared at the same fireside with him; and
he Is wise in not placing this temptation
before one OF his own family. But when a
protectionist comes to make a tariff law
he acts on an entirely different plan; ne
votes millions, yes, hundreds Of millions OF

ZIONIST must establish, namely, that the
tariff asked for is necessary, is still less
wages per day than are paid elsewhere,
but that does not necessarily mean that
the actual labor cost Of an article is
higher here than abroad. On the con-
trary, the rule is that high priced labor
produces a cheaper article than low-priced
labor. Manufacturers of hardware will

steam engine, for instance, is made by

better conditions that surround them, and

The democratic plan does not contem-
plate an immediate change from one system
to the other; IT expressly declares that the
change shall be gradual, and a gradual
change is only possible where the country
is satisfied with the results OF each step
taken. We elect a congress every two
wears and a president every four years, and
the people can soon stop any policy II the
results of that policy are not satisfactory
But we belive that the experience the peo-
pie have had with protection for protec-
TONS sake" has led them TO favor a
restoration of the tariff by gradual steps
to a revenue basis, and We are convinced
that the advantage following each step
will be so pronounced and that the bene-
fits will be so universally enjoyed that

The low tariff law OF 1876 did not produce
a panic; on the contrary, 1t was so salts
factory that when the republican party
wrote it's first platform ten years AFTER
ward the protective principle was not en-
dorsed.
The whole aim Of our party is to secure
Justice in taxation. We believe that each
individual should contribute to the support
OF the government I'm proportion to the
benefits which he receives under the pro-
lection Of the government. We believe that
a revenue tariff, approached gradually, ,ac-
cording to the plan laid down in our plat
form, will equalize the burdens OF taxation,
and that the addition of an income tax
will make taxation still more equitable.
If the republican party is to have the sup.
port of those who find a pecuniary profit
IN the exercise of the taxing power, as a
private asset in their business, we ought to
have the support of that large majority
Of the people who produce the nations
wealth in time Of peace, protect the ma
toms flag in time of war and ask for
nothing from the government but even
handed Justice.

WIN he explain upon what rule the pres
ent tariff was framed? when have the re-
publicans claimed more protection here
and abroad? The reasonable profit to
American Industries is an addition to the
rule, and is likely to be used as an excuse
for raising the tariff, And, by the way,
to what other business does the govern
ment guarantee a reasonable profit q
To the farmer, or the merchant or the
laborer? To none Of these. If in revising
the tariff the republican party is to work
upon exactly the same plan (or a plan
contemplating a higher rate what hope
have we that the new tariff will be lower
than the present one? Are the present
tariff leaders more honest than the ones

ponsible for Tariff eXtortion during the
last decade? II this newborn zeal for re-
