MY fellow republicans of the old Bay State"
the president said in effect in his speech at Hami
ton, Mass. II come to denounce to you the perfidy
of the democrats and the progressive republicans,
and to point out that only the standpat republicans
can be trusted with the government.
THE reciprocity bill-which l must admit was
framed with only partial information from the
tariff board-was statesmanlike measure. But
everything else passed by Congress was worthless,
or worse than worthless; it was playing politics.
And you must bear in mind that playing politics is
a crime-when done by democrats.
Take the wool bill, for instance The wool bill
was thoroughly vicious Why, it was framed in
the same way that the Payne-Aldrich bill was
made. The only difference between the two bills
is that those who voted for the Payne-Aldrich bill
were actuated by lofty and patriotic motives while
those who voted for the wool bill were playing
politics, because they revised downward.
Have not made it clear that this administra-
ton is New Engand's friend? Look what you
New Englanders got in reciprocity. Also look
what saved you from getting when l vetoed the
wool bill, the cotton bill and the farmers free list
bll-that loosely drawn free list bill, with it's free
lumber and free shoes, framed with odous section
alism to favor the Western farmer.

administration, supported by such stalwart repub-
lican tariff revisionsts as Senator Penrose Senator
Lodge and Senator Crane, to take care that it's in

the assembled woolen and cotton manufacturers
with cries of, The Aldrich law is good enough
for us;' Good for you, Mr.. President, don't let
those Western revisionists bluff you;' Don't
worry, if you can't get scientific revision through
Congress, we're doing pretty we'll as it u.s." and

'The country is overflowing with money but it
is hard to get. So says President Louis Hill of
the Great Northern. You can stop right there,
Louis. You've said it ALL You have thoroughly
explained why the farmer and the merchant and
the shipper are not growing wealthy any faster
than some of your trains run. There is lots of
money, but they can't get it. And, Louis just be-
tween you and me, that's the answer for you to
give every time. It's safe sane conservative,

along your line, and to make them go back and
dig up some more dividends for you while waiting
for readjustnent of freight rates on this line
They can't get it, You can. They can ship on
your line, or carry it in a basket to Spokane or
British Columbia. They can't get full value for
the produce because part of the increment is eaten
up by excessive rates on produce, another part
consumed by excessive rates on machinery with
which to produce, and still further extorted by
added cost of provisions, clothing, furniture and
utensils used while trying to produce
Yes money is hard to get-up here in Stevens
county under present freight conditions. And it's
going to be hard for you to get in passenger traffic
east from this county. People from here are not
going to patronize you any more than they have to
