HANDLED THE MONEY
CORNELIUS BLISS
WAS GREAT PARTY LEADER. II
Voters Will Recoilect Campaigns
When Republican Money Was
Poured Out Like Water, and
It's Soures Well Known.

We find In several Republican news
papers references like the following
to recent item OF news:
The death OF Cornelius Newton
Bliss removes from the political field
OF this country another OF the coterie
OF Republican leaders who have been
In the forefront OF the party's affairs
for generation or more. He was
treasurer OF the Republican national
committee from 1892 to 1908. and pre-
vious to that had been chairman Of
the New York state Republican com
mittee. =
Except that he was always an ex-
ftreme protectionist, advocating the
taxation OF Everybody for the benefit
Of Somebody. Mr.. Bliss was I'm the
forefront OF the party's affairs for q 9
generation or more" In only one ca.
pacity. He was the party treasurer,
first in New York state and after.
wards for many years in the United
States. n
To perceive at a glance exactly why
man who merely receives and dis
burses the money OF political party
can stand In the forefront OF its AZ
fairs for generation we have only to
consider the fact that Mr.. Bliss treas
urership covered the period OF colos-
sal campaign funds and shameless cor.
ruption in their collection and use.
Mr.. Bliss handled the money which
was fried like fat out OF the manufac-
turers who are protected by the ex-
tortionate tariff. He handled the
money which those manufacturers paid
on Mark Hanna's promise that they
should have additional favors In the
tarin laws. He handled the money
which was stolen from the great life
insurance companies In one Of which
he was q director. He handled the
money which Hartman raised and
Standard OIL and Beef contributed
with the understanding that they
we're to be let. alone. He handled
the money given dishonesty BY the
5omcers OF a thousand corporations and
financial institutions who hoped to-
profit personally or politically by Re
publican success.
Y ~ laws now AZ iOlCe anu ever WASAo
recognized as necessary had been IN
existence In 1885, for example. Mr..
Bliss and his associates would have
committed penitentiary offenses every
day. It was the crimes Of these men
at the very forefront Of a great party's
affairs which made these laws neces-5;
sary. The moral sense Of the people
has expressed itself with reference to
the oKenses OF these great party lead
.ers by prescribing penal servitude for
all who repeat them Louis Re-
public.

The word tariff" when used in

Formerly they succeed ed. destroyed
opposition and created a fine lot Of
monopolies. including most Of the pro

Mayor Gaynor Of New York seems
to think they still succeed in this. Be.
that as It may, rate fayors for the
most part merely aid in the work OF
monopoly building. Excessive tarin
protection lies at the root OF the evil.
It supplies the motive to the creation
OF monopolies. Railroad fayors great

This is a fact that Mr.. Taft seems
not to have grasped. He is so infatu-!
