WILLIAM j. Bryan began his
speaking campaign for Mr.. Will
son last week. At Salt Lake on
the 18th, his first speech in Utah,
he compared Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Taft as follows, as reported by
the United Press:
Any man who opposes the Ini-
tiative and Referendum is not in
sympathy with the people. Both
Taft and Roosevelt worked OPEN
ly against this measure. Taft has
been standing still, and the people
have marched right past him. He
considers the people incapable of
managing their own affairs, and
has no confidence in them. | will
give him credit and say he does
not pretend to. Roosevelt, on the
other hand, processes great con-
fidence in the people, but this is a
sham and he promises to rule as a
despot If he should have his own
way.
Mr.. Bryan was speaking in Cali
fornia on the Gath. At Los Angeles
on the 23d, he said of Mr.. Roose-
welt and the trust that
Mr.. Roosevelt says the trusts have
come to stay, and he d%enounces
the Democrats for wanting to
make it impossible for a private
monopoly to exist. Mr.. Roose-
welt says you must not try to pre-
vent monopoly. Just regulate 1t.
Let it grow and grow; let it merge
and merge; let it consolidate and
consolidate, but watch it. My
friends, he watched it for seven
and a half years and it merged
and merged, and when it got to a
doubtful point, when it did not
know whether it could merge or
not, it went to him and asked him
and he said: eyes, MERGE" l
don't believe that we can long
maintain political independence
when we have lost industrial in
dependence. Mr.. Roosevelt's plan
has brought corruption into every
State government that has tried to
control franchise nolding corpora
ton.

The Democratic ticket can be
elected in Missouri this year with
hardly an effort. But an election
by only a bare nominal plurality
would carry with it nothing but
the right to hold the offices. This
is not a contest merely for Offices.
1t is not a struggle to simply de-
termine who, among a number of
men, are to draw official salaries.
That is not the issue at all. A
great principle of governments at
stake. The people of Missouri are
to finally determine whether this
commonwealth is to pass for
ever into hands of the plutocratic
reactionaries of the Republican
party, or whether the grand old
State will return to the faith of the
fathers and consecrate herself
anew to those immortal principles
which have made her what she is
today. That is the burning ques-
ton in the Missouri campaign and
it is a question which can be ans
wered only by a Democratic ma
iority of fifty thousand or more.

1--WE reiterate our firm belief in
the principle of a protective tariff,
as expressed in our national plat
form," says the State Republican
platform. Events of the past four
years have demonstrated that Re-
publican platform tariff pledges
are worth absolutely nothing.
Four years ago the party was
pledged to revision downward. In
the face of that pledge the iniquit-
Gus Schedule K" was enacted,
which President Taft afterwards
denounced as indefensible from
any view point. Later, however,
President Taft through his mes-
sages vetoing Democratic tariff re-
vision bills, repudiated not only
his platform pledges but his per-
sonal pledges. In view of these
facts it is idle for our Missouri
Republican brethren to repose any
firm belief in the national
pledges Of their party and their
presidential candidate. If the
people are eve to hope for any re-
lief from the tyrannous exactions
H =. -.
of the robber tariff, that relief will
come from the Democratic party
and from no other source.

GOVERNOR Hadley went into
Office clamoring for higher asess-
ment and more revenue. For the
first two years of his administra-
ton nearly every speech and mes
sage emanating from the executive
Office carried with it the same re-
frain-higher assessments, more
revenue. Every member of two
State Legislatures remembers it.
All who read the newspapers
know it to be the fact. He re-
peatedly denounced the present
method and system Of taxation as
unscientific, inadequate and in
efficient. He sought to increase
the State assessments threefold.

built so that nearly every part of the
country hns easy access to the sea. or

Another big public work which has
TO do with the agricultural wealth OF
the Island is the retaining of some
thing like $4,000 acres OF land. This
scheme relates to the southeastern end
or Porto Rico. where the soil Is exceed
inslr rich. but where, owing to the
nigh mountains at the north. there is
scant rainfall. Tho moist winds
strike the cold mountains and the IA n
drops on the northern slopes.
The average rainfall is only forty
TWO inches, ranging from twenty TO
sixty Inches per year. Tho land is ex
celient sugar land and will be worth.
II II has plenty OF water. about 5000
per ache. AS 1t is now. some OF it is
planted to sugar. This crop requires
abundant moisture, and when the rain
fall is scanty It fails and millions OF
dollars are lost.
