to Restore Constitution and Liberty. {.

bill. And never, for so long as one
single week since March, 1888, have
the American people been out of the
shadow of q cataclysmic infiationl
Instead of a competitive tariff, we
have the bewildering jargon of a series
of reciprocal tariff treaties recklessly
throwing open the great American
market to the products of low-cost
farms and factories in every foreign
land.
Instead of restored international
trade and stable exchange We see for
eign trade gasping on the gallows-
victim of a reciprocal economic lynch
ing-and world exchange of goods
fallen into utter chaos.
In fulfillment of its pledge to
strengthen and enforce the antitrust
laws, the New Deal, three months after
Inauguration. gave the world the bob
tailed Blue Eagle, with the outright
suspension of all the antitrust
statutes!
In fulfillment Of their pledge to
limit Government competition in all
fields of private enterprise, the New
Deal pump primers have flooded
Treasury funds by the hundreds of
millions into a whole alphabet of new
enterprises directly in competition with
private endeavOr.
Farm Policy Assailed.
Their pledge against restricting agri-
cultural production to the demands of
the domestic market, the New Dealers
honored with the fantastic and uncon-
stitutional A. A. A-conceived as a
policy of shameful destruction and
dedicated to the proposition that the
way to achieve the more abundant life
Is to pillow under the land of plenty!
In fulfillment OF its pledge against
the excessive use Of money in political
activities the New Deal has set up in
Washington the most gigantic Treas
ury-hnanced political machine in the
history of our Republic.
With reckless abandon and cruel
cynicism it has diverted relief funds
to the advancement of its partisan
cause-all for the perpetuation Of the
Roosevelt administration.
Yes, broken promises are the very
warp and woof of New Dealism.
Broken promises have all but dis
rupted the orderly processes of consti-
tutional government, setting up in
their stead a vast and burdensome
bureaucracy. ruling by capricious and
hySterical executive orders
Free competition has been throttled
and honest enterprise mtimidated; d;
thrift, frugality and industry have been
Knocked by reckless Government squan-
dering of the taxpayers hard earned
dollars. All the great primary driving
forces of American life, all our deepest
national impulses for prosperity and
progress. have been sacrificed for the
sentimental glamour of the bureau
cratic boondoggle.
Roosevelt Quoted.
Turn from the platform to the cam
didate Here are the words of Candi-
date Roosevelt spoken at Pittsburgh,
Pa, October l9. 1892:
Taxes are paid in the sweat OF
every man who laborS. because they
are burden on production and can
be paid only by production.
And again. in the same speech:
Our workers may never see q
tax bill, but they pay in deductions
from wages, in increased cost of
what they buy. or (as now in broad
cessation of employment"
Nor is that all. Candidate RooSe-

taxes under the Republican admins

Words, ARE reflected in idle fac
tories, tax-sold farms. and. hence. in
herds of hungry tramping the streets
and seeking jobs in vain"
These solemn Democratic warnings
were broadcast to tens of millions at
time when the expenditures of the
Federal Government were running
approximately four billion dollars a
year-and all under one budget!
Since the New Deal economizers
took over the Treasury, Federal ex-
