ever Mr Taft was in excellent spir.
Its this morning when he stepped off

1--WE all wear the same clothes. even
to the latest fashions In the bonnets
OF the ladies'; we all speak the same
language and have the same ideas and
aspirations. One of the things that
strikes one going around the country
is the exactly similar attitude the
people all occupy toward the questions
that affect them in the same way
not toward the Same question. but to-
ward those issues with respect to
which they have the same relation.

to free hides you have a counter part

they arc distinctly in favor of So lum.
Der. not as protective tariff OF
course. but"-and the President spoke
! with great mock seriousness but
for revenues that the government may
be maintained, and SO it goes. The
American nature is the same and is
affected In the same way: affected not
only by pecuniary and mercantile con-
siderations, but also by higher senti-
ments and by looking at the country
at large and her interests in the same
way"
