HOUSING REPUBLICAN RALLY.

| Big Demonstration at DanieIson When
 Hon. F. T. Schoonmaker and Hon.
 w. A. King Explain the Benefits of
 Proteetion-Former Lauds Taft as
 the Brains of the Roosevelt Adminis-
 tration.
 Hon. Francis s. Schoonmaker of Pennsylvania and Hon. William A. King of Willimantic were speakers at the republican rally held in the town hall at Danielson Saturday evening. Red fire lighted the way of the parad- CTS that joined in the demonstration preceding the meeting, the procession including St. James band of Daniel son, the Wauregan Republican club and drum corps from that village. The republican party still looks pretty good to Wauregan" was the inscrip- tion on a transparency carried by one of the marchers from that village. Special cars were run from East Kill lingly and from other points in the town to accommodate those who wish ed to attend the rally.
 Nathan D. Prince was chairman at the meeting, and introduced the speak CTS, who sat within semi-circle form ed of leading republicans of the town
 Like a Big Corporation.
 MT. schoonmaRer was the first speaker, and his address was along the same lines as the one he gave i'll Putnam Friday evening. He referred to the United States as, a big corpora tion in which each elector is a share holder, in which congress is the board of managers and President Taft the general manager. The corporation is about to elect a general manager for another four years. and Mr. Taft, on the strength of the fine record for prosperity made by his party during the past four years, presents his report and stands for reelection. MT. Will son, the democratic candidate, also seeks the place, agreeing that he would be inexperienced in filling it, but will ing to do his best in filling it's duties. Wilson, as college president, has onl, been associated with immature minds, but he is anxious to take the presi- dency and its great responsibilities and do the best he can,
 Three Convincing Instances.
 MT. Schoonmaker devoted the great CT part of his address to a discussion of the tariff issue and defense of the republican policy of protection, stating l how the great steel, watch and kid glove industries of the country, for example, were developed from nothins but the opportunity to make them great as they are by practically shut | ing out by high protective duties the competition from the old world; and l how, notwithstanding the protective | duties, the products of these great in- | dustries have not only been vastly inn proved but reduced in cost to those who purchase them, the high tariff | working heneficently for both manu- l facturer and consumer.
 | Wilson's Policy.
 Mir Wilson, the speaker said, regards 1 this tariff protection as a cancer and 1 would, like a surgeon, remove the deadly thing with a knife, but MT. Taft stands by a policy that keeps the tramp peddlers of Europe out of this l country until they pay, as they do al the present time. $3O,000,O00 a year be- fore they can offer their wares for sale in these United States and Presiden Taft will continue to do this as Ions as he is left in power, thereby protect
 ing American labor and American in. dustries from unfair competition witt the underpaid, struggling labor of tn, old world. And the money these ped dlers pay goes into the United State! treasury and helps reduce the taxe
 on the people of this country. Why then, elect MT. Wilson, a free trader and let this vast revenue slip away? l Achievements, of Big Bill Taft.
 Mir. Schoonmaker did not give mucl
 of his time to consideration of tn
 progressive party or its candidate fo ] president, but he did say some fe7
 things. Big Bill Taft was the brain
 of the Roosevelt administration, h
 said. When there was a job to dc

 Who settled the long standing Philip
 pine friar question? Big Bill Taft
 Who quickly dissipated the Chimes
 boycott against this country? Bi.
 Bill Taft Who so admirably an
 speedily adjusted certain difffcuItie
 with Russia? Again. Big Bill Taft.
 Big Bill Taft not only did the worl
 of the Roosevelt administration but h
 furnished the brains with which to d
 it. Big Bill Taft was anot much ol
 shooting off flrecrackers and making
 racket. like MT. Roosevelt, but h
 cleaned up the red. white and yello
 paper and other debris after the perio
 of noisemaking was over so that tn country could again go on and d.
 business in a successful and prosper
 ous way. MT. Taft, the speaker de ,clared, is the most efficient and bes prepared president that has been at tn head of this government since Abra ham Lincoln. (Applause.)
 Mir. Kings Practical Address. On account of the late hour Attor , ney King cut his address short, bu during his brief and very telling speeci
 he presented some figures that mad
 the local audience sit up and take no tice These figures showed what woul have happened to industries in tn
 towns of Killingly and Plainfield i
 the tariff bill passed by congress re , gently and vetoed by President Taf , had become a law. They showed tha , the bill as enacted would have cut tn l protection on the product of tn
 Quinebaug company, Danielson, tn 5 Wauregan company, Wauregan. tii Attawaugan company and the Ballou , vile mills from 40 to 20 per cent, al 1 of these being cotton manufacturin f concerns. The product of the Plain
 field company and of the Central Wor { sted company, Glen Worsted company , Assawauga Woolen company, Thistl 9 worsted company, Davis & Brow, 3 Woolen company. all Killingly an l Plainfield concerns, would have had
 protection of 99 per cent. removed an 7 one of only 40 per cent. substituted : The Connecticut Mills company woul l get only Is per cent. protection ? i whereas they now have 40 per cent
