declared that the Underwood-Sim
mons tariff bill is sectional and I'm
fair, and that, when the Demo
cratic party has had the opportunity
to enact its free trade ideas int.
laws suited to slavery conditions. iii
actions have, without a single ex
ception, resulted in hard times, free
soup houses for the armies of IN
employed, ruinously low prices fol
farm products, bankrupt business in.
ssitutions and all of the calamities
which of necessity must result from
forcing upon the country laws suit
able only for slavery conditions and
degraded labor. and trying to oper-
ate under high priced intelligent
and educated set of labor conditions
Il has never yet worked and ii never
will.
The Republican party has al
ways stood for protection to all
classes, and protection cannot be
based on degraded labor conditions.
With such leaders as Borah, Cum
mins and Hadely, the Republican
party today stands as the most pro-
gressive and practical party for sol
wing the great questions Of the day.
VIII the citizens support such lead
ers as these, or viii they turn for
leadership to such men as George w.
Perkins, the father Of the Harvester
trust, which has robbed the Ameri-
can farmers of millions of dollars,
and Is now using some of those dol
lars in the state of Idaho for the
purpose Of discrediting Borah in his
home state7 Idaho can De redeemed
only by the Republican party. To
vote the Progressive ticket is to vote
to retain the free trade Democratic
conditions"
If this is the progressive policy of
the present Republican party a great
majority Of the voters viii have
trouble in detecting the progress, as
il sounds very much Like the speeSh-
es that were made by republicans
rs and 80 years ago. Mr.. Gooding |
says that the present tariff bill is
sectional and unfair. No doubt if
be had the framing Of a tariff bill
it would have plenty Of protection on
wool and things in which he is es-
oecially interested and would lover
he tariff on what the other fellow is
'aising or manufacturing. The pres
mt tariff may, and no doubt has ifs
Iefects, but could We hope to get
Inything better OF more fair from
ONE one who is as set in his views
nd as prejudiced as Mr.. Cooling
'roves himself to be in his own
But Why does ne single out Geo.
v. Perkins and the harvester trust
q which to make his attack There
re other trusts and plenty of them
aat are almost as bad as the har-
ester trust and other men just as
ad as Mr. Perkins. Mr. Cooling I
as strong friend Ia the past and I
roves himself to be at the present l
ne an ardent supporter Of the pro-
Give policy which Is the founda- 4
N for the big protected industries. 0
i'd which has assisted In building p
} this trust that he nov claims has
Ibbed the people out Of millions Of =
oIIars. ri
But Mr.. Gooding may believe, as c
r. Roosevelt said, ssthere are good
ustz and bad trusts but it's very
vident that these two gentlemen do 5
u agree as to which ones are good
I'd bad. We never heard Mr.. !
coding condemning Mr.. Perkins
I'd the harvester trust until she
party was organized, =
Il since it's organization things are '
lkirely different from Mr.. Good =
Is political viewpoint, who makes w
plain In hissown statement, to an
biased reader that anything IN o.
