Bound to Uphold Platform.

"In your public declarations you are
seeking to assure the business men and
workers in all fields of industry that
they should have no fear that the tariff
duties would be lowered too abruptly or
too much if you and your party should
be successful at the coming election.
And yet You know very we'll that If elect
ed you are in honor bound to use all the
influence of the presidential office to Sc
cure the destructive tariff legislation Of
fcially Endorsed by your party
The people know that the tariff fun
damentally underlies business success and
progress all over the country. They want
to know clearly and definitely just where
you stand in this critical matter and
how you propose to deal with it. They
have right to know this. Their living
depends on it. If you cannot or will not
speak plainly. you must be plainly told
that vague and smooth generalities will
not satisfy the public. The gentle soft
ness of well poised, academic language
means nothing and excites suspicion. The
tariff is a business question and it is ac-
ton upon it that counts for good or
evil.
Fortunately for the country the
democratic party in the House Of Repre-
sentatives could not get it's will enacted
INTO law. What saved the industries Of
the American people from the destruc
ton threatened by the democratic bills?
Simply and solely the courage and clear
headed. good sense of President Taft,
backed up by republican Senate.
President Taft did his utmost to induce
his partisan opponents to pass fair bills.
He asked them to wait for and examine
the facts collected by the commission he
had set to work. He labored and build
ed patiently for the prosperity of the
country, and he would not permit that
prosperity to be wrecked by the faults
and blunders of the democratic party as
long as he could prevent it.
He considered it his duty to prevent it,
and did it manfully. For this he has not
had all the consideration that is his due.
He has really not yet had square deal
in this matter from our business men
and workers. whose interests he has so
faithfully conserved But there is now
growing recognition of the greatness of
his services in promoting and protecting
our prosperity. This prosperity has
grown to such great proportions and
promises such benefits in the immediate
future that the American people will
surely vote to give President Taft sec
ond term in the White House"

BURNING PAPER MONEY.
New French Method of Destroying
$3O0,000,0oo Year.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
The Bank of France is rather fastidious
in regard to the condition of its notes,
and never fails to destroy those that re-
turn to 1t mutilated or greatly soiled.
The destruction of the notes might APP
pear to be very simple operation, but
certain practical difficulties are intro
duced by their enormous number.
In the year 1910 the bank destroy ed
more than one million ne-thousand- franc
notes. nearly two hundred thousand one
hundred-franc notes. and nearly eight
million fifty-franc notes. which in the ag-
gregate weighed thousands of tons and
represented value of 900 100000 francs.
or more than $500, 900 900. without count
ing the 612 notes of >. % and % francs
that we're withdrawn from circulation.
1t is essential that none of this great
stream of money shall find its way into
the pockets OF dishonest employees. and
that no clever rogue shall find oppor-
tunty to reconstruct notes from their
fragments. The notes must therefore be
completely destroyed, and the law re-
quires the destruction to be witnessed by
Il regent of the bank
At first the notes were burned in the
open air They were placed in cylinder
of iron rods over a wood fire The cylin-
der was mounted on trunnions and was
turned by means of crank at intervals
during the lncfnerauOn. winch occupied
three hours. This primitive method suf-
feed until 1873. when it was decided to
retire the numerous fractional notes of s,
% and % francs that had been issued
during the Franco-P russian war.
The magnitude of this task compelled
