Moreover, where is that regard for
evidence which was so scrupulOusly eX-
hilited when Becker was under suS-

him was obtained which would lead
the courts to uphold his dismissal. Yet

PANICS AND THE TARIFF
Country Has Never had Prosperity
Without ProtectSGp.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: May l trespass on your valuable
space once more? Every effort IS belhB
made to expunge from the minds OF the
public any idea that business depression
and panics are related to reduced PTotec-
ton to manufactures under the tariff laws.
one Of your esteemed contemporaries
says: There was a panic in 1873, the
very worst In our history. The paralysis
OF our manufacturing business was gen
eral, banks collapsed, there were bank
ruptcies and receivershlps on all sides IN
its prostratlng effects this panic was worse
than the free silver panic twenty years
later Was it a Democratic panic? was
It panic caused 10y tariff revision? &.
Protective duties were high and had not
been lowered"
Why do people say such things? This
assertion ought to be answered at once.
On June IA. 1870, I'm response to Demo
cratic clamor in this country, new tari1
became the law, heavily reducing duties
on foreign goods, but yet retaining some
protection to manufactures. The erect
Of that law was not beneficial but was
not positively harmful on June 8, 1872,
another reduction Of the tariff was made,
again In response to Democratic clamor.
That law made a sweeping 10 per cent
reduction all along the line. IT capped
the climax. The reduction was unscien-
tifc and was too great. 1t was the la"
OF 1872 which hurried this country into
the prostratlon and panic so well de-
scribed above. The consequences OF the
law OF 1872 were so unanimously acknoWl-
edged TO be disastrous that on March d,
1879, Congress repealed the 10 per cent re-
ductl9n OF 1872 and raised few other
duties, and we had good times again Tor
several years
The reduced tariff Of March 3, 1889
passed by the friends Of protection In
obedience to the voice Of the people" az
represented chiefly by Democratic reac-
tlonaries, was the chief influence In bring
ing on the bad times or l8Si-'@, which
were intensified by the election Of Presi-
dent Cleveland in 1884 and the strenuous
efforts Of mis- Congress TO reduce duties
yet more. Good times never returned TO
the United States until Harrison was
elected in 1888 and Congress went TO
work 10 enact the Mckinley protective
tariff
It Is solely because the Democratic
party is the historic opponent Of protec-
ton that this country cannot afford to
elect Professor Wilson President next
week. II It does. It will surely rue the
day, and thousands Of men now In active
business will be bankrupt before two
years have passed, who would have been
prosperous and happy II Tart had been
elected. HENRY HALL

NIRLY'S MISTAKE.

How desperately determined the Gay
nor administration is to keep The facts
sho1,t the police hidden was brought out
again through the aldermanic Inquiry
into the circumstances surrounding
Patrolman Nikly's dismissal Nikiys
offence was like that Of Inspector
HAYES and that Of Lieutenant Stanton
bringing 10 light acts of the admins
tration which 1t wished to cover up.
And in Nikly's case the Formally OF
charging an old offence that was op-
porunely recalled was not observed.
He was dismissed upon charges on
which he had once been fined fifteen
DAYS pay. Subsequently the fine had
been RENTED, on reconsideration
And then on another reconsideration
after his attorney had persisted in
making trouble over the injustice done
IN the original fine, he was dismissed
from the force. Thus for the same Of
fence and with 10 new evidence or
further hearings three penalties were
successfully regarded as proper by the
department: First, a fine Of fifteen
days pay, when the fning was mere
routine matter, being apparently a part
Of some ones plan 70 get an inspec-
tor who was out Of favor by conyicting
a number Of patrolmen under him Of
being Off post; second, a remission Of
that fine, when an attorney for the
fined man moved to expose the facts
by en- appeal to the courts; third, dis
missal from the force, when the attor-
ney was not content 10 accept the re-
mission Of the fine, but persisted in his
embarrassing court action
If this story is true, how does
Mayor Gaynor square it with his de-
termination 10 end arbitrary methods
On the part OF the Commissioner tow
ard the men under him? A Commits
Eioner must not be so arbitrary as to
reject any one who gets on the civil
service eligible list, even though the
man should be a crook or cutthroat.
But the Commissioner may be 50 arbi-

are now.

WHY CHANGER

President Taft put the case Tor MS
reelection with force and succinctness
when he said the other day:
Some Of the greatest policies on
which ] have set my heart are Just
now coming TO a focus. The period o.
reconstruction began wnen 1 took Of
fee. but we have yet TO finish the work.
The steel framework has been erected,
but we must now put in the floors and
ceilings. L say that it would be dan.
gerUus 10 change the whole force on
workmen at this crucial period.
The country has much to lose and
nothing to gain by making a change.
II the voters want 10 avoid the risk Of
disturbance 10 trade and industry
which would follow transfer of
power in all departments Of the gov
eminent to & party whose platform
has declared the whole fabric Of pro-
lection to be unconstitutional, they will
reflect Mr. Taft. He is pledged TO
take the tariff issue as far as pos
sible out Of partisan politics 10y con
fding the power to suggest tariff rates
20 a non-partisan commission, whose
only aim would be to recommend a
fair offset to the differentiai in cost OF
production here and abroad. Were
such a method followed the tariff could
be kept out Of party politics as effect
ually as the regulation Of railroad
rates IS now kept out by the excellent
work Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
If the voters want to see the evils
of the trust system abated, they VIII
return a President who has followed
the lust policy If seeking an authorita-
tive Interpretation Of the sherman
antitrust law from the Supreme Court
and then prosecuting without fear or
favor combinations charged with mo-
nopolistic intentions and tendencies.
Mr.. Taft does not say that people must
be forced to compete under pain OF
IMPRISONMENT. or that monopoly must
be recognized and regulated. He fa-
vors a fair trial Of the Sherman law
as It stands before going TO the first
extreme. suggested by Governor Viii
son. or the second, suggested by Colo
mel Roosevelt.
If the voters want to see the govern
ment administered with efficiency and
economy. they viii sustain the first
President In our time who has checked
the alarming growth in federal ezpen'
0itpre and whose efforts 10 modern
lie departmental operations promise q
steady reduction in waste. If Presl'
dent Taft IS reelected he VIII put in
force a budget system under which re-
eponsibility for estimates Of appropria-
tjons needed will be thrown directly
on the President and responsibility
for unnecessary expenditure viii he
thrown directly on Congress. Senator
Aldrich said not long ago that saving
of $500. 100000 could be made in the
annual cost Of government The re-
election of Mr.. Taft would be the long
est step yet taken toward the realiza'
tion Of Senator Aldrich's retrenchment
forecast.
Why change, when every interest OF
+he country would be better served
through a continuance Of the present
administration?

He Alone Can Accomplish Re-
form, Says President.
T8y ToIograph to The T-Ibuno J

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 1.-The election
number of THE Harvard Illustrated
Magazine" publishes the following mes
sage from President Taft:
The real solution Of all our political DIFF
hcuities is found In the stimulation OF
good citizenship. No machinery Of any
sort, whether by direct primary, rcferen-
dunn, initiative or recall, will accomplish
any real reform unless the individual Citl-
zen himself ia stirred 20 n better per-
fOrmanC- II lis duty as voter and as
member OF his party. II the individual
citizen improves his citizenship. then re-
form will follow, whether new political
machinery be adopted or not: and II the
average standard Of good citizenship Is
not improved, then new political ma
chlnery will not ala.

the country without running and dis
grazing themselves. What would he
say if Mr.. Taft should argue that as
the Republicans were about half the
people they couldn't do any harm WITH
ont harming themselves. and therefore
their policy should be accepted With
out question? Mr.. Wilson doubtless IN
tends the public good. But do he ana
his party reason right about the means
TO promote it? That is the vital ques'

Is likely to be- the division Of the anti

for this city. The raid on the state
funds. Of which the special highway
