ROOSEVELT SHES THE TARIFF

Has anyone been able to find out where Mr..
Roosevelt stands on the tariff"
This pertinent question, asked by The Bal
timore Sun the close of the former presidents
New Jersey campaign, has occurred to hundreds
of thousands of Americans who have measured his
declarations by the eountry's practical and vital
needs.
Mr.. Roosevelt evidently considers the tariff an
issue of no Importance whatsoever or his views
concerning it are such that he deems it best to
keep them to himself.
From the presentation of his new charter of
Democracy" at Columbus as The Sun declares, to
his final speeches in New Jersey, he has not once
referred to the protective tariff evils except in the
vaguest and most indefinite manner.
This is in keeping with his police and record
president, for during the entire two terms of
his administration he made no pretense of re-
FORMING the exorbitant schedules that maintained
monopoles and increased the cost of living.
He does not offer the slightest hope to the
people that the of tariff reduction would re-
ceive any support encouragement, If he were
again at the head of the government.
To be sure he has criticised President Taft for
the latter's record the Payne-Aldrich bill and
likewise Mr. Taft has criticised Colonel Roosevelt
on a kindred score.
But neither of them has done anything to
feve the people from the burdens of this outworn
system Of federal patronage to grasping monopo-
lies.
In striking contrast to Roosevelt's silence on
this great issue, The Sun points out Woodrow
Wilson'S clear and emphatic position. cit is by
this indirect control of the government" says
Governor Wilson, that the largest and most pow
erfully protected interests have gained extraor-
binary privilege and an extraordinary power This
is the basis of every by which they have
built up monopoly and prevented legislation from
striking in unmistakabe terms at the privileges
they vigilantly safeguarding"
Mr.. Roosevelt, claiming to, be Fighter of
wrongs, utterly ignores the great source of
economic injustice.
Governor Wilson, the contrary, points out
practical remedies and of definite action
that will abolish existing ills.
Thinking people, regardless of party connections
cannot have failed to be impressed with this diff
ference between progressive Democratic leader
and avowed Republican progressive.

ed All the concerns affected are
planning to continue in business and
several will rebuild as soon as pos
sible. The fire will result in the erec-
tion of several creditable fireproof

''Mr. President, would not be un-
derstood as Understanding the i'm
portance of developing the resources
of the State and making two grains
of corn grow where one grew before,
but what / do wish to emphasize is
that it is more important and neces-
sary for us to grow men than grain.
Next came breath of optimism:
But, sir, I do not despair of South
Carolina's future. She holds the
worlds record for the largest yield of
corn and oats on single acre of
ground; she is the greatest cotton
manufacturing State in the union;
she has within period of thirty
five years, restored her credit in the
markets of the world. She has, or
is founding, splendid system OF
public schools in every nook and
corner of the State; she has pro-
yided literally for the poor and af-
flicted within her borders, and build
ed splendid colleges which are to
train her youth and be the nursery
of her future leaders. The develop
ment of great men has only been
arrested for a short time, but the
