We have had tariff for the support
OF the government since the days Of
George Washington, and the only diff.
ference between the political parties os
today is that one believes there should
6e tariff for revenue only, and the
other holds that there should also be q
tariff that offers protection to Ameri-
can industries and working men.
The tariff act known as the PAYNE
law, has been unjustly criticized. &
voted for it and every member OF cou-
gress from Michigan voted for it. JIt
has been criticized on the ground that
some of the tariffs are too high The
statement of President Taft that it. ,n
the best tariff law on the statute books
appears to go for naught with some az
the American people, but the law is q
vindication of itself. Since its opera
ton the deficiency in the treasury hsI
been wiped out and there is now a SUI
plus.
The Payne tariff is of particular in
terest to farmers because it protects
every article produced on the farm .it
prevents the inroads that other o4Hsr.
tries might make in the market for but
ter, eggs, hay, pork, etc, and restrsias
others from pushing the American far
mers out of their own markets. Tbs
Republican party always has been sn6
is to day progressive party, bat ie
progresses along constitutional linec
not by trampling on law and igporipS
the fundamental principles of goyerr>
ment. a,,..a
Foreign government for many ye4cs
have excluded American products, frou-
their markets, and it was recognized
that before the farmers and manuf&e-
turers of this country could get an
opening it would be necessary to nske
trade treaties. In many cases this hat
been long and tedious operation, but
the Payne law settles the whole matter;
by its favored nation clausetS Two
tariffs maximum and a minimum,
with q difference of 25 per cent. ara
fixed, and the minimum tariff Is (ofec-
ed to the nations that open their m&r-
kets to American products. 3 Eycrv
nation in the world has accented tbe
conditions and there is not a. market
today that is not open to Americans or
the same terms as any other nstien
"This has been a camgaign Of mis-
representation by the other, side. II
should be fair field and an, honest
selection by the, people, but my oppau-
ent has destroyed all chance OF this by
the methods he has adopted to infame
prejudice and overthrow judgment,
II understand that you were told a
few days ago that I had opposed tbh
direct nomination of United States
senators and that when the house pass
ed resolution for the submission az
the constitutional amendment 10 tho
several states that it had been smother-
ed in the senate in the committee or
privileges and elections, of which 1 aG
chairman. aps
THAT is an untruth and the man who
told you that is unworthy Of yoor bs'-
lief. Such resolution did pass tAe
house. and 20 to the senate, but 1t wsaa
referred tothe committee on the Susaes
ciary, OF which ! am not member. hsrc
THAT is but one Of the thifgs @~siich
the opposition has told WINCH Sfefslsp.
You have seen it reported in the Desss-
cratic papers which are opposing INA
that I'm ready for the grave, that Fur
so near dead that can't move about
without crutches. They don't make Il
quite as strong as that, but they da
make every effort to carry the impress
