the crowded waiting room ant
there was more applause when III
mounted the stage.
Stops Along the Way
The Executive spoke briefly, a.
his heavy train schedule for the
day-contemplating other ad
dresses at. Philadelphia, Newark
and New York, with rear platform
appearances elsewhere-w ou
only permit a halt of 20 minutes
in the Maryland metropolis.
Mr.. Hoover declared that only
under a protective Republican
tariff can industry and agricul
ture survive. He said:
"Your varied industries have
grown and thrived under pro-
tective tariffs. They have
wilted and shriveled whenever
that tariff has been lowered or
when those projections have
been abandoned. The liveli-
hood of your wOrkmen is partic-
ularly dependent upon it.
your agriculture is in
particular danger from lower
ing of these tariffs because you
are situated close to the Sea-
board and close to the point of
attack Of foreign imports.
TALKS ON FIAT" MONEY
cat this precise moment
there is scarcely an agricultural
product in your State that
could not under the depre-
ciated currencieS of Europe and
South America be brought to
your doors at from rs to 40
per cent below the prices you
at present realize, depressed as
they may be.
The Democratic party pro-
poses to reduce this tariff. 1t
proposes not only to reduce it
generally, but 1t proposes to
negotiate reciprocal tariffs,
which can mean but one
thing, and that is, to negO-
tiate away the tariffs in favor
Of the import of some variety
Of goods"
Dealing with the efforts to issue
f1at currency, the President said ::
1--WE have had within the last
five months the passage of an
act Of Congress to issue $2,3OO,.
900 Of greenback currency-One
OF the most glaring attempts to
violate the stability and sacred
character of currency of a peO-
pie that we have seen in our
country since the Civil War,
when it was issued only in COM
plete desperation and paid for
by thousand SufferingS in the
years which followed.
The Vice Presidential can
didate in this campaign fathered
this measure, and the Demo
cratic candidate or any other
speaker in this campaign has
not seen fit to diSavow it."
High Court Held Free
The President answered Cover
nor Roosevelt's statement about
the Supreme Court sharply. He
said:
"a few days ago in this city
the Democratic candidate made
q statement in respect to the
Supreme Court which must be
the negatiOn of the sentiment,
the feeling, and the resolution
of the people of the State that
produced Chief Justice Taney
and other hOnOred members
who have helped to make the
long history of the Supreme
Court.
"And every student of his
tory knows, and every person
in the modern world knows,
that Maryland has maintained
q peculiar fidelity to the Con-
StftutiOn, and that it surely
would not be the will of the
people of Maryland that the
independence of this great
tribunal shall be undermined
or brought into question for
political party purposes,
whether they be Democratic or
Republican.
1T is the genius of our form
Of gOVernr mt that the indie
pendence of the Supreme Court
stands unique in all the govern.
TnentS of the world and is the
strongest bulwark of the per.
manenCe of our democracy"
Never has Mr.. Hoover cam
paigned so militantly, and seldom,
indeed, has any candidate for the
presidency ever undertaken so
hard a program for one day.
To Go West Again
1t is his first and only speaking
appearance in the highly i'm
portant States of the Eastern
Seaboard, and apparently the
President desired to make the
most of it.
He has invaded the Middle
west four times in the preceding
weeks, and will do so again when
he returns from New York.
Present plans call for his leav-
ing the Capital again on Thurs
day and going to Chicago, Min
neapolis, Springfield. ILL.,, and st.
Louis.
The matter of whether Mr..
Hoover is going to make a last
minute dash to the Pacific Coast
to vote apparently was still unde-
termined when he departed from
Washington this morning.
Some of his advisers have sug-
Gested that Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh. be engaged to fly Mr.. and
