Taft Against The Farmers.

AS Governor Wilson says the far
mer feeds the country, while Con-
gress has been feeding the trusts.
He is forced to sell in the cheapest
market and buy In the greatest
monopoly market in the world When
Mr.. Taft vetoed the bills passed by
Congress to relieve the farmer of
some of his burden, he struck a
blow at the foundation Of wealth
{ the country and showed how
firmly he is held in the grasp of the
interests. The matchless leader on
the floor of the House, Hon. Oscar
Underwood, says that had the bills
passed been permitted to become
laws without the interference of the
President, the people of this country
would have saved $3.50, 100000 The
House passed some of the bills over
Mr.. Taft's veto but the Senate was
ike Taft. bound to his idols. Mr.
Taft admitted that his party hal
not kept faith with the people in
some Of the schedules OF the tariff,
but when given the opportunity to
correct them he failed to do so,
giving the flimsiest of pretexts. Su
a course Guild only result in the
failure of his administration. The
people have lost confidence in him
and he will soon go into merited
retirement. A glorious day is dawn
ing for Democracy and next March.
please God, man who believes
that platforms are to stand on, and
not used solely to get in on, will uss

people their control of the govern
ment.

Wilson A Leader Of Men.

Mr.. Taft may have more girth
than Governor Wilson, but the Dem
ocratic candidate has the most back
bone. Unlike Mr.. Taft he will do
what he thinks right regardless OF
consequences. Mr.. Taft's record on
the tariff question shows that party
considerations count more with him
than right and justice. Governor
Wilson has less egotism but better
judgment than Colonel Roosevelt.
In fact, he is safe, sane, conser-
vative and reliable and the best in
tellectually equipped candidate for
the presidency in fifty years. Not
all got their choice when he was
nominated at Baltimore, but all
agree now that the nomination
of Wilson was little less than in
spiration.

The Panic Of 1892.

The attention OF every intelligent
voter is called to the following from
the Louisville Evening Post. Its
careful perusal and the thoughtful
consideration of the facts therein
related will convince any unprejudi-
cial mind that Mr. Cleveland and the
Democratic party had very little, in
fact nothing to do with causing the
panic of 1898. This panic of '93"
business is about all that's left for
the Republican spellbinders to harp
about. and the Posts article leaves
nothing of that.

Keeps His Promises.

When Governor Wilson ran for
Governor of New Jersey he promis-
ed to secure for the people sixteen
reforms. The way he keeps pre-elec-
ton promises is shown by the fact
that all sixteen are now covered by
laws obtained through his influence.
That is the kind of man to tie to
and the American people realizing 1t
is going to give him the largest ma
jority for President ever accorded.

Vice President James S. shermal

was uremic poison. Mr. Sherman

reelection. The Republican National
Committee will name man to be

nently mentioned is that of Gov.

The straw votes taken by several
large newspapers throughout the
country show a remarkably small
percentage of Democrats who ex--
pect to vote for Roosevelt. The only
surprising part OF 1t is that any
Democrat would do SO. Wilson rep
resents all that Democrats have
been striving for all these years. He
is progressive and the ablest. clean
est man in the race. II Is true he
has less money than any OF the 9th
ers, but he has courage and char
acter in abundance.
1t is easy to see why progressive
Republicans who are not willing 20
go entirely over will vote for Roos a
welt. He is Republican and Is max
ing promises TO reduce the tariff.
and to tie string to the tails OF
the trusts and pull back gently
when they do not obey him. He
was President seven years, with a
Congress subservient to his "big
stick and he made no effort to do
what he now proposes. The next
President will have Democratic
Congress to deal with and Wilson
is the only man who can carry out
his policies and promises. Roosevelt
could not do it II elected.

the statute book known as the Nc
kinloy act OF 1sss--he allowed Il TO
become n law without his signature.
II was great step forward:
great relief measure. Al the same
time Congress passed an income tax
law TO supply any temporary deficit.
so no bond issue would be needed.
But. after Affirming the law. a
Judge on the Supreme bench charg-
cd his mind. and on rehearing the
law was declared unconstitutional.
That made inevitable treasury
deficit. but the responsibility for Il
rests on the Supreme Court and NOT
on Democratic Congress
Had that law been sustained
there would have been no deficit.
Had the free silver Democrats OF
the South aud West supported Pres
ident Cleveland heartily and intel
ligently. instead OF opposing him
fanatically and factiously and fool.
ishly, the tide would have been turn
ed In 1905. and n Democrat would
have been elected In 1896, and the
Democratic party would have built
on sound foundation n nations pros

not adopt any tariff program which
would in any way injure the honest
business man in the pursuit OF an
honest business. No mills or fac
tories are to be stopped, the en-
