cratic orators are at a loss for an
argument. and their speeches con
sst of criticisms OF the Republican
Administration for not accomplish
ing the impossible.
They criticise Senator DUPONT foi
not being present at every roll call
when in fact anyone at ALI familial
with the work of the Congress oi
the United States knows that the
least important of all acts is the roll
call. 1t is ability and advice in for
mulating measures which are to be
considered by Congress that count
and as the matters confronting the
i United States today are purely econ
omic and financial, 1t is a. man OF
Z Coleman duPont's ability in this re-
spect who is needed. His record is
such that his work in this capacity
lis recognized By all men who nave
lanything to do with the present ad-
lministration. They have enjoyed the
! benefit of his efforts and advice ana
! they appreciate their value ana tnere
never was a time in the history OF
the United States when man or
I Coleman duPont's business and
; financial experience were so greatly
needed in helping restore this gov
ernment to a proper economic basis.
"The Democratic orators under
take to say that the Republican ad-
ministration has not kept it's prom
ises, because / suppose the RepuDh-
can administration has not been abie
to pay offLn a single Congress that
twenty-four billions OF dollars Gre
ated by Democratic administration.
They undertake to say that the pres
ent tariff bill is for the beneht OF
business and not for the !aborins
man, and every one knows who has
given any attention TO the consider
alton OF this subject that the present
tariff Is Intended to increase the
revenue which may be applied to the
liauidation of an Indebtedness ere
ated by a Democratic administration
and protect our labor and Demo-
cratic Senator's who wanted protec-
tion for its industries and products
voted for Il.
After the World War there isl
bound 90 be competition for the
trade OF the world, and when, we
take into consideration the small
wages now paid in foreign countries4
everyone of us. especially the work |
ingman, will realize that what the
United States manufactures and pro-
duces must be protected or this
country will be swamped by fore gn
products created by foreign labor
'Lincoln once said that he didn't I
know much about the tariff, but he 1
did know that when ewe manufac-
tured and sold rails in this country,
we had the rails and the money, but
when we bought the nails in for
eign country we had the rails and
they had the money.
AT the present time one ounce OF
gold buys TX hours Of labor in
the United States; so 1-6 hours of
labor in Great Britain; 5is hours
in Japan; III l-3 hours in France,
and 201h hours in Germany. In
other words the American work
man today gets the same price for
one hour OF labor as the German
laborer gets in IL hours. II is not
necessary for me to say that the
danger to us of such cheap Euro
pean labor means cheap products
coming into the United States un-
less we protect ourselves from such
an overflow by a sufficient tariff.
Question OF Party Responsibility.
zone OF the most amusing state
ments made by the Democratic
speakers Is that the fraud unearth-
I'd by Congress was committed by
and not by Democrats;
In
and they say the Republicans got
nh the money. The democratic par
~ was responsible for~tne waste and
graft and they must assume the re-
,ponsb l.ty for II. II is not ques-
ion OF ad'vidual crime, 1t is a ques-
ion OF partV responsibility and the
Democratic party must assume re-
for Illegal expenditures

.veryone who has given any consd-
ration 10 their record that they are
