II the Democratic campaign fund

aire contributors anxious to purchase
Legislative favors at the expense of
the people there would be no need to
appeal to the voters at large for the
means to finance the campaign. The
sinews Of war in a contest between
the victims and the beneficiaries Of
tariff extortion and trust monopoly,
however, must be furnished in the
main by persons of comparatively
small means. and the contributors to
the Democratic campaign fund must
make up by strength of numbers what
they individually lack in length of
purse.
The recent statement of the chair
man of the Democratic general finance
committee showed that 17,116 individ-
uals have contributed In the aggregate
about $4,000 and that about $750,000
more is needed for the legitimate ex-
penses of the campaign. That would
be a small sum to a candidate who
could pass around the hat among
four trust magnates and get It back
with $3.50 900 but II Is a large sum to

The freeborn citizen gets up when dew

A trust controls the soap he finds at

And through the favor of some trust he

His shoes. suspenders. shirt and socks.

His handkerchief, his necktie and the cob

All came from factories that trusts per

trust allows him to have coal to pile
upon the CRATE.
BY yielding to the sugar trust he makes
his coffee sweet;
BY bowling TO the beef trust ne may have
steak to eat;
The cracker trust the -four trust, the
coffee trust likewise.
Take tribute from the man who dwelis
where freedoms banner flies.
He rises from the table which trust
leaves in his care
And on the trust made han tree finds a
trust made hat to wear
Now see the freehorn citizen upon the
trust owned car:
ny paying tribute he may ride TO where
his duties are.
He sits before a trust made desk-A trust
has said he may
And. being FREE and equal he tolls for
the trust all day;
Al night trust provides his light, and
when his prayers are said
The uncrowned wing devoutly kneefs b.
side a trust made bed
Thus all his trusts bound UP In trusts
that treat him as they please
He lives through favor Of the trusts: To
them he bends his knees
All let us trust that when he tfes ara

Some trust will watt him to the skies
and give him glory there.

to Merchants.
FREE TRADE NOT PROPOSED
Panlcs Occur Without Regard to Tar
In RevIsIon-Busness Men Direct
Ing the Wilson Campaign.

To the Merchants and Business Men
of the United States:
Mr. John Wanamaker has issued a
mote of warning" against the de
struction of industries" which he says
will follow the election of Woodrow
Wilson.
To bark back twenty years in Amer
lean industry is to deal with ancient
history. During this score of years
American industries have advanced so
far in competing power that a COM
parison even with 1890 is ridiculous.
lures were less than two hundred mil
lions in annual value; today they are
at the rate of twelve hundred millions,
a gain of 600 per cent
How Is disaster to come from the
competition on our ground OF those
manufacturers with whom we are sue
cessfully competing on their ground?
1t Is a poor time to cry distress when
we are exporting steel manufactures
at the rate of a million dollars daily.
During Mr.. Cleveland's first admin
istration, 1885 to 1889, there was no
panic-there was only prosperity. But
Mr.. Wanamaker forgets this. Mr..
Harrison, a Republican, succeeded In
1899 serving till 1898. During this
time Mr.. Wanamaker himself was in
President Harrison's cabinet, and 1t
was then the conditions matured
which resulted In the panic of 1898,
four months after Mr.. Cleveland took
office the second time.
Mr.. Wanamaker quotes from various
sources certain records of distress. but
neglects to say that every one Of them
bears a date not less than six months
before the tariff bill Of 1894 became
law and, as a matter of fact, before
It's terms were known.
The truth is that neither a Repub-
lican administration nor high tariff
is any protection against panics, and
they occur. as everybody knows, eX-
cept Mr.. Wanamaker, quite without
regard to tariff changes. Our very
worst panics have occurred under Re-
publican administrations.
In 1905 the Republican party in it's
platform declared "unequivocally for
the revision OF the tariff" but this
promise. soon so recklessly broken,
had no deterrent effect upon improve
ment in business conditions. 1t can
not therefore be said that the mere
threat of tariff revision causes dis
tresS for there WAS no doubt in 1908
not only that the tariff was to be re-
vised. b,t that 1t was to be revised
downward

Less than per cent of the cotton

that importation IL Improbable.
Yet fully one-third OF the cotton

form of 1908 as wen as the Democratic
platform Of 1908 declared for q revi-
sion Of the tariff. 1t seems to me that
the only question before the American
people now is, Who will give them
the downward revision for which they
made a new demand in 1910, when q
Democratic congress was overwhelm-
ingly elected? 1t Ia clear that the
only man In the race who will stand
for an intelligent revision downward
is Woodrow Wilson and the only party
which will give II Is the Democratic
party.
Now. II Mr.. Wanamaker is correct
in his assertion that prosperity de-
Ponds wholly upon Republican rule
and the maintenance of a high tariff
policy, how does he explain the in
controvertible fact that with every
body demanding tariff revision down
ward the whole business of the coun-
try today is, In anticipation of this
very revision and the certainty of
Democratic success, in better condi-
ton, more stimulated and more ag-
gressive than 1t has been In many
years? Does he not know that our
shrewd merchants, business men and
bankers almost infallbly sense i'm

as they say in the vernacular, dis

Is Not to Destroy.
Finally, it bears strongly on Mr.
Wanamaker's statement to note that
the Democratic campaign Is largely in
the hands of business men. | can
not claim the distinction of being a
merchant, yet | hope l can qualify as
a business man. Certainly | should
hesitate to advocate the adoption of
any policy or to ask my friends to
follow the leadership of any man or
party likely in any way to bring harm
to the people of this country. 1t would
be easy to add the names of distin-
guished manufacturers all over the
land who are in active cooperation
with the Democraticsnational commit
tee In this campaign. These men hav-
ing great business interests at stake,
are not likely to be deceived into pro-
noting their own destruction. They
feel, as do many others of our leading
manufacturers. that the Democratic
party in promising a gradual revision
of the tariff Is helping and not hinder
ing our industries. Governor Wilson
has frankly said

the great course of business In this

ignoring the Present.

Most important however, in Mr.
Wanamakers letter Is his failure to
refer to existing conditions. He prom
Uses all sorts OF disaster in a very
general way, but has nothing to say
about current facts Of industry. For
example 1t has been we'll known since
1910 that the public demanded the
downward revision of the tariff which
Mr. Taft promised and later denied.
Democratic house of representa-
tives was elected In 1910 on that spe
cial issue. That house passed a series
of tariff measures, some of them ovAr
the presidents veto. On each of these
measures number OF Progressive Re-
publicans voted with the Democrats.
One OF these bills reduced the duty on
steel Yet. although n revision OF the
steel schedule was and Is pending, the
steel industry has revived, prices are
advancing and. strangest OF all, from
Mr.. Wanamaker's point OF view, large
investments are now being made In
new steel plants
II the danger that Mr.. Wanamaker
foresees Is real, how Is It that these
Investments proceed? How is 1t that
manufacturers all over the country
are increasing their plants?
Mr.. Wanamaker seems ignorant
also OF the actual labor conditions.
High wages are not necessarily a sign
of prosperity As Professor Fisher
points out, a century and a half ago
I~k IN DhndA leland rNro{uod q
wage OF $40 daily, but It took four
days work to buy pair of shoes.
Nor are high wages the result OF the
protective tariff. The Lawrence strike
brought out this fact wildly, There
the textile manufacturers have very
high protective tariff to favor them.
but the wages OF their employees were
shown to be indefensibly low. A fair
comparison Is that between England
and Germany. both thickly populated,
one having no protection and the 9th
sr high protection. How do wages
stand in these countries today. Those
In Germany are II per cent lower
than English wages, and not only 30.
but the cost OF living In Germany Is
