Immediately rushed to the City hospital,

condition was not as serious as had been
expected at first.

TAFT TO WAGE FARMERS.
Prosperity, He Says, Is Due Almost
Wholly to Protection.

Beverly, Mass. Oct. 22.-White House
officials last night made public letter
from President Taft to John Wana .
maker of Philadelphia dealing with some
of the issues of the campaign in his own
behalf and on behalf of the people of the
nation for the splendid work" he has
done. The presidents letter dealt al
most exclusively with the tariff and
prosperity, which he declared was large
ly due to protection.
There are certain facts which stand
out so prominently in this campaign
that / cannot conceive how ma jority
of our voters can fail to apprehend
them," said the president. "They are
that vote cast for the third party. Is
a vote cast for the Democratic ticket.
and that vote cast for the Democratic
ticket is vote for economic experiment

circumstances would mean lack of bust
ness confidence, the calling of loans.
stringency of the money market. the
suspension of manufacturing. the de-
struction of the market for farm pro-
ducts because the people would have no
money to buy, and untold suffering for
the wage Garner and his family.
Wholly apart from the respective
merits of the protection and the tariff
for revenues policies, it must be obvious
to thinking men that so radical a change
as turning the tariff from protective
to revenue basis cannot be effected
without a period OF readiustment. the
wipiBg out of numerous industries which
prosper because they are protected and
which pay good wages to thousands of
employees.
"As a protectionist can see no bene- |
fit to be gained from such change
even when the readiustment Is complet-
ed. For go years, under the protective
policy, our industries have grown at a |

The letter concludes with a note of
warming that If the Democrats should i

nut their tariff views into effect, thou
