Mr. Booseveli'i Letter.
New York Herald.
Summed up in h o me v
phrase Mr. Roosevelt's lens-
thy letter of acceptance is
"Stand pat." Like an impet
uous mountain strenm. the
currentof his utterance moves
rapidly, dashing over, but
not dislobgmg, the obstac
lea it encounters. Little com
plaint however, can be made
of its ambiguity. On the con
trary the country is to be fe
licitated on .the fact that he
differentiates most broadly
and, elearly the , Republican
policies for which be stands
from the policies proposed bv
the St. Louis platform, pro
viding that there is a wide
and deep gulf between the
aims and principles of t n e
two great parties.
In those nident advocacy
of bis party's extreme tenets
his repeated denunciations of
tbe "insinceiety" and "mis
representations" of bis oppo
nentsand his high sounding
praise of Republican adiuinis
trutions since 1897' his K
ter forcibly recalls, as ( was
once said of an English chan
cellor's speech, the self laud
ation of Cicero oyer "the im
mortal glories of his own
consulate." Tbe president
plants himself squarely upon
the record of administrat
tion und defies all criticism
There i apparently in his
letter no attempt to apolo
gize for anything that has
been done under Republican
rule, though,. on the other
hand, the opposition is mer
cilessly scored for its folly
and malicious methods de
signed to bring about a ces-
nation ot prosperity, to in
jure the wngeearner and
generally to impair the effi
ciency of the government a nd
intioduce an era, of commer
cial disaster. The Democrats
Mr, Roosevelt evidently
thinks, are not to be trusted
with the government, and
his letter abounds in many
labored and specious special
pleadings to convict them of
Imbecility andinsincerety. In
painting his opponents in
such dark and forbidding col
ors without furnishing ade
quate proofs of bis .sweeping
ciiticisms or condemnation.
Mr, Roosevelt has committed
a grave tactical blunder
which the people who decide
the election cannot applaud,
and the independent voters
will berepellsd by the severity
oi bis crimination?, His re
peated attempts to throw
the blame of the prostration
of business which was bo dis
astrous in 1893 chiefly upon
Mr. Cleveland's administra
tion is a notorious coutradic
tion of historical facts a
contradiction which has been
so often exposed and explo
ded that its revival now will
be regarned as an outrage.
FEARFUL ODDS AGAINST HIM.
Bedridden alone, and destitute.
Such, in brief was the condition of
an o'.d so dier by name of J. J.
Havens, I ersailles O, For years he
was troubled with kidney disease
and neither doctors nor medciines
gave him relief. At length he
tried Electric Bitters. It put him on
his feet in sho it order and now he
tectifies, "I am on the aoad to com
plete recovery." Best on earth for

But aside from these deplor
able features of the letter the
reader will note with deepest
concern Mr. Riosevelt's lat
est and final utterances on
the principal issues of the
campaign. He boldly swal
lows ihe entire "protection"
policy oT his party and seem
ingly scouts the idea of any
tariff revision. It is evident
that if elected in November
he will sustain with unmeas
ured zeal theextreme radicals
of jDingleyism in opposing
an real reduction 'in the
present high tariff. So far
from bending to the rising
storm of popular, demand
for tariff reform and. the elim
ination of unnecessary, and
burdensome restraints . o f
trade, bis arguments is for a
perpetuation of the system
by which unscrupulous trusts
are, fostered.. So far , from
yielding to the clamor within
bis own party for at least a
moderate reduction of tariff
taxation he tells the recalci
trant Republicans of tbe
East and tbe West, as be
tells tbe great Democratic re
formers: "It is a matter of
regret .that , the protective
tariff policy,, which during
the last 40 odd years has be
come part .of ,, the very fibre
of the country, is not now nc
cepted as definitely estab
lished." This mature utter
ance of, Mr..: Rooseyelt can
only mean. that, he ranges
himself with the stoUart en
emies .of all who would seek
lower . taxation and relieve
manufacturers and consum
ers generally of the barbur
bus enormities and excres
cences of a protectionism
which has out grown every
decent ciaitn and has over
ridden the commercial rights
and liberties of the people. It
is almost needless to note
that, as might have been ex
petfted from bis animadver
sions on tariff reform, Mr.
Roosevelt in a few brief sen
tences I n t i m a t o 8, un
mistakably hi a approval
of tbe Utopian scheme by
which is sought to upbuild
the merchant marine by ship
subsidies.
Upon the policy of imperial
ism, with which the letter
deals rather briefly, Mr. Roo
sevelt stands, as he does on
the policy of Dingleyism, for
its perpetuation Here, too,
he uses no equivocal expres
sion. "There is not a policy,
foreign or domestic, w b i c b
we are now carrying on which
it would not be disastrous to
reverse or abandon" T.h 1 8
will be enough tosatisfv tbe
mind) of independent voters
that, if elected, Mr. Roosevelt
proposes to press forward his
costly and dangerous impe-
riali.stic schemes -especially
as he now expresses the hope
that "our hands will be up-

THE GENUINE VB, COUNTERFEITS
The genuine is always better than
a counterfeit, but the truth of this
statement is never more forcibly re

Milwaukee Wisconsin.
As a brief example of t h
facinnting florid eloquence o'
the late SenatorVest it would
be difficult to find a ;pasage
more likely to live i n th
memory of those who read it
than the following. It was
the peroration of his famous
address to the jury in a suit
involving a dog.
"Oantlemen of the jury, the
best friend a man has in the
woiH may turn against him
and become his enemy. His
son or daughter mav prove
ungrateful. . Those who are
nearest and dearest to us.
those whom we trust with
our happiness and good
name, may become traitors
to their, faith. The money
that a man has he may love.
It flies away from perhups
when he needs it most. . A
man's reputation may be
sacrificed in a moment of ill
considered action. The pet)
pie who are pron to fall on
their knees to do us honor
when prospeiity is with us
may be the first to throw
t he stone cf malice whn fail
ure settles its cloud upouour
beads.
"The one absolutely unsel
fish friend that a man can
have in this selfish worl J, the
one that neyer proves (un
grateful or treacherous, is his
tlog. A man's dog stands by
him in prosperity and in poy
erty, in health and in sick
ness..tHe will sleep on , the
cold ground where the wintry
winds blow and the snow
driving fiercely, if onjy he
may be Near his master's
sid. He will kiss the band
that has no food to offer. H.
will lick the wounds and
sores that came in encounter
with the roughness of t h e
world. He guards the sheep
of his pauper master as if be
were a prince. When allotner
triends d e s e r t he remains.
When riches take wings and
reputation falls to pieces he
is as constant in bis: toye as
the sun in its j ourney through
the heavens. If fortune drives
the master forth an outcast
in the world, friendless and
homeless, the faithful -dog
asks no higher privelege than
that of accompanying him,
to fight against his enemies.
'When tbo last scene of all
comes; and when death takes
the master in its embrace,
and his body is laid away in
tbe cold ground, no matter
if all oth?r friends pursue
their way, there beside his
grave will the noble doi be
found, his head between his
paws, his eyes sad, but open
in alert watchfulness faithful
and true even in death."
