Lose Our Prosperity. Lose Our
Jobs. Warns Taft, Who Says
The Very Name is Reminis-
cent Of Free.Trade Disaster.


Beverly, Mass-President Taft has
written a letter to John Wanamaker
az Philadelphia, thanking him for has
Efforts in behalf Of the Republican
party. Mr.. Taft says:
There are certain facts that stand
ont so prominently in this campaign
that / cannot conceive how majority
~ our voters can fail TO apprehend
them. They are that a vote cast for
the third party is vote cast Tor the
Democratic ticket, and that a vote
cast for the Democratic ticket IS
vote cast for economic experiments
ton. which. under the most favorable
circumstances, would mean lack OF
business confidence, the calling CT
loans. a stTingency OF the money mar
lSet. the suspension. OF manufac
+he destruction Of the market for
farm products because the people had
no money to buy, and untold suner1n&
for the wage-earner and his family.
Il want to thank you for the splendid
work YOU are doing for the success OF
the Republican party in the approach
ing election. ! thank you not for my
self alone but for the people at large,

gain. from a change Of administration,
who will indeed suffer If Democratic
President and Democratic Congress
secure the opportunity to make good
their platform pledges, and an extra
session of Congress is called next
March to change the tariff from
protective to a revenue basis.
I'VE have experimental in the past
with the tariff theories Of our Demo
cratic friends. You will recall as
clearly as do the distress which fol-
lowed the passage Of the Wilson bill
Is there not a certain significance in
the fact that it is another Wilson who
would again subject us to such an ex'
pertinent? Wilson and prosperity are
words that refuse to go together in
our American history.
You recall the report of Mayor Gil
roy on conditions in New York when
he and his Democratic administration
conducted an investigation into the
hardship and suffering which pre-
vailed IL 1894. and found that $4,000
persons we're dependent on charity
because 90, 900 men and nearly $4,000
women who under normal conditions
experienced no difficulty in securing
employment were oGt of work You
can recall the days when, as the re-
suit of Just such tariff REIMBURSEMENT
as our Democratic friends now pro
pose. there were soup kitchens IN
every large city. when able-bodied
mon were compelled to beg from door
TO door. while women and their little
children died of starvation or were
stunted II their development from the
privatior they were compelled to I'M
dergo.
The election of Democratic Pres
ident would mean the election of q
Democratic Senate and House, and
the present Congress has proved how
say Sgely and with what recklessness
the Democrats would deal with the
tariff If they were in full control Of
the executive and legislative branches
of government I cannot understand
how any American voter can fail TO
sec thSt by throwing away his vote
on the third party or by voting TO put
the Democrats in power in the White
House and in Congress he is assured
~ counting disaster as is the small
child playing with matches. And so.
Mr.. Wanamaker FAR above any per-
Sonal consideration, am ST2IeiuA 10
