WILSON IS THE MAN


 ITO the Editor of the [.
 'Bisbee Daily Review:
 Tn respect to the speech of ac-- ceptance of Hon. Woodrow Wilson the democratic nominee for the high office of president there seems to be a general approval of the principles expressed therein, but in my view this approval in one particular is hasty and i'll considered. There is one point covered by the eminent gentleman, which, to my notion, does not meet or accord with the views Of the great and progressive democratic party. It is couched in elegant language, but slight consideration will show the actual intention. l refer to his re- marks concerning the reduction of the tariff. He attributes the abuse Of the tariff to the fact that schedules were not discussed on the floor of congress but determined in committee rooms and conferences. This is not the cause of the abuse Ii is one of the tricks of the great interruptions and reck- ! less beneticiaries of this detestakle sys- tenn who found it easier to corrupt or hoOdwink a small committee than the whole legislature, and recent discf0s- ures show that the cans used have been most questionable-se the re- cent reports of the letter Of John D. Archbold to Congressman Sibley and Senator Quay.
 MT. Wilson further says that the | business of a country like ours is ex- i iceedingly sensitive to change in leg | islation of this kind The same may ! be said of the business of a high way rObber or thief, and says that the | foundation of this business must not | be too radically or suddenly distrub- | ed, thereby indicating that he be- lieyes in a slow and gradual reduction ! of this liniquitious protective tariff | You might just as well attempt to re- ! form thief or a srafter by request | ing him to diminish his pecuIations ! gradually. It seems to me that Mir | Wilson is obsessed by the notion that | the sudden reduction of the tariff | would destroy and severely injure the | industry and business. This is the same old song that has been dinged | into the ears of the people for half a century, and the most intelligent of them have failed to recognize it as pure bluh There is now no industry or manufacturing concern in this coan- try that can truthfui1y say that 1t | needs protection in order to save it from foreign competition. Tn fact, it | is known that many things can now | be produced and manufactured in this country cheaper than in foreign coun- tries, owing to our vast resources and | improved machinery.

 "A very vigorous effort is necessary to remove this octopus from the body lof the people, and it will not be very defective to remove but one tentaeie at a time. The whole monster should be destroyed. ft may hurt the patient, but be will soon recover.
 These few words are written with lout much hope of any effect, but the writer believes that they might init. ate aN movement of protest by which the esteemed nominee for president who. 1 believe. is a broad minded aud lliberai man and amendable to saigges' ton may see that his gentle policy in respect to the greatest burden and abuse that has ever been imposed up
 on the people will not satisfy or sui !, flee
