JACKSON, Ohio, October 20.-Demo-
cratic "phrase-making" and republican
performance" were contrasted by
Senator Harding in a speech here to-
day, lauding the protective tariff pol
icy as an example Of republican ac-
complishment.
''The truth is." he said. that with
all the progressive tongues and all
the literary idealism of our oppo-
nents it is still the republican party,
not only as to tariff protection, but
as to every other kind of protection,
which stands as the safeguard Of
America. 1t is a simple matter to
make phrases; it is much more diff
cult to perform. but it is on their re-
spective records as phrase-makers and
as performers that the democratic
forces of this campaign and the re-
publican party oppose each other"
Speakers at Barbecue.
The republican nominee, making an
afternoon speech at political barbe-
cue, gave particular attention to the
iron and steel industry as it has de-
veloped in this section of Ohio. This
industry, throughout the country, he
said. had given an illustration of "the
success which attends the combina-
tion of the hands and brains Of work.
ers whose interests are so bound to-
gether in common cause that upon
the part of all there will be profound
realization of the need for mutual
consideration"
LAS an illustration of the common
int or hint hi 1c,
in that industry in a public policy"
he continued II wish to cite the truth
that the growth and opportunity for
investment of capital and the labor of
men in the iron and steel industry
has rested upon political policy. You
publican policy Of tariff protection,
given to our home industries, has
been the safeguard ard stimulus of
our American iron and steel produc-
ton.
Based on Impulse to Labor.
with all the natural resources and
the good fortune of geographical posi-
ton, the growth and perhaps the pros
porous existence Of the 500 or more COM
panies which are making iron and steel
in the United States is based upon the
impulse given men to labor This i'm
pulse to labor. trust. will always be
made up in part of the love of men to
expend their energies in creative pro-
duction; but of necessity men labor for
living. l would like to see the
standards of living among foreign ma
tons raised up to our standards of
living, but l do not intend to see our
prosperity and our standards of living
lowered to meet the competition OF for
eign countries in our markets
Sympathetic as / may be with our
brothers in foreign nations, we stand
| for a proper policy of American pro-
| lection. flexible. subject to readjust-
ments, fair to our consumers, and yet
| protecting American Investments and
the interests and standards of living of
those American laborers who do their
/; part by giving US 100 per cent efficiency
in their productive effort"
