FOR BACKACHE
That Tariff .Speech. '
The acceptance speech of Mr.
Bryan net. the country talking.'
It won converts by the thous
and, for it displayed a conserva
tism many had fancied foreign to
Mr. Brynn. The situation was
curiously covered in a manner
that left no room for objection
to the Presidential candidate
with any man styling himself a
Democrat. Honesty and candor
have always been the distinguish
ing yirtues of the Nebraskan, and
realizing that certain issues his
name bad been linked with in the
past, were out ol date, he frank
ly pledged to follow the platform,
if elected, remembering that a
platlorm "is binding for what it
omits as well as what it includes."'
Many thinking men who had fan
cied Mr.. Bryan to be a danger
ous man, whether with reason to
do so or not, were convinced by
his speech that no safer or saner
tan could be put at the head of
the government, papers like the
New York World, many of them,-
that had previously fought Bry
an, were con verted by this speech
and are today dealing valiant
stroTfesiu his cause.
The acceptance speech, howev
er, only covered the main issue in
a geuvral way; and because Mr.
Bryan had announced he would
discuss tho leading issues, before
the people at greater length at a
later date, great interest center
ed about the promised' treaties
on these issues. The tariff speech
was the first of the series.
Mr. Bryan's treatment of this
great isNue has won for him more
strength in oar opinion, than
anything that has yet been done
in his cause. His treatment of
the tariff was the work of ,a
mastermind, one fnrnilliar with
every phase of the great issue,
and fully cognizant of all the evils
that have sprung up through the
Republican policy of a high pro
tective tariff. The logic of this
speech is irrefutable. TJie respon
sibility of present day evils ari
sing f m a Republican protec
tive tariff are placed at the door
of the party in power, and in a
manner leaving no way Jor uyoid
ing the resjionsibility. Mr. Bryan
proved that the party in power
is so deplorably intertwined with
the special interests that the pros
ent tariff system has fostered
that it is rendered incapable of
shaking off the embrace. In re
turn for a perpetuation of present
tariff laws the giant trusts have
reciprocated in the form of cam
paign contributions. Tho fact
that the Chicago platform is de
void of a publicity plank demon
strates that the tarty dared nut
enter a fight for continuance in
office without the succor the;
trusts have always given.
" If the tariff is ever revised, it
will not be accomplished by the
Republican party, whose very ex
istence has been made possible'
by the power the protected inter
ests have wielded. ,
Commenting on the t a r i ff
speech . of Mr. Bryan, and argu
ing the futility of the Republican
party's promises of tariff revis
ion, the Atlanta Journal says:
"Speaker Cannon's unfriendly
attitude towards tariff reform
has already been shown during
the time he has presided over a
Republican Congress. -.Mr! Will
iams sought to secure a reduc
tion on all articles on which the
tarifl was morethanonehuhdred
per cent. It was a measure which
it, would poem, in all conscience,
that the Republicans could have
granted. But Speaker Cannon
saw to it that like much other
salutary legislation it was sti
fled in the house, and was never
even given a hearing.
'Speaker Cannon, will preside
over the wx House, ia the event
of a Republican victory, and his
friend and associate, the vice
presidential nominee, will, under
the same circumstances, preside
over the Senate. There is but lit
tle chance that any tariff revis
ion of importance will be able to
run the gauntlet of these two
worthies, whatever might be the
sentiment of the party as ex
pressed in tho platlorm.
"Tariff revision under a Demo
cratic administration, supple
mented by an income tax would
make afi least a genuine begin
ning toward equalizing public
burdeus and towards the sound
and statesmanlike policy of a
reveuue measure, with only inci
dental protection. Such being the
case the only hope of relief from
the 'mother of the trusts', which
lies at the bottom of all our evils,
is the election of the Democratic
candidates who will give us real
tariff reform." Charlotte News.

. Necfsntj ot Tariff Krvisluu.
In his speech at Des M. lines Mi
Bryau returns to the cause of
tariff reform. It was as the chain
pion ol this cauQe that Mr. Bry
an first became a national fig
ure; it was in this causo that ho
compelled the notice of serious,
intelligent men; in this cause be
came a leader ol tho Democratic
party.
He attacks the principles of pro
tective duties where it is moat
weak, (1) That its beneficiaries'
axe a limited few; (2) That its
advantage to the laboring man
is deceptive and does not really
exist; (3) That to the agricultu
ralist and the vast body of con
sumers it is oppressive; (4) That
it leads to corruption and bar
gains between government and
protected interests.
Particularly forcible is Mr. Bry
an in laying bare this last and
progressively vicious conswjuenc
of high protection. He shows the
direct connection, the hardly con
cealed money partnership, be
tween the Republican party and
tho manufacturers; tbe large con
tributions paid by one iu return
for past favors to come by the
other. While the rest of the coun
try has unfortunately forgotten
it, the astute men at the head ol
tho Republican party have jeal
ously followed the advico of Fos
ter's famous "fry the fat" letter
to Stanley M. Quay.
Under the rejime thus estab
lished, tho manufacturers write
the tariff schedules and dictate
to Congress what tax shall be
levied on the consumer.
"The method of procedure Is
simple. It is a case of confidence.
The yoters have confidence in Re
publican leaders; have confidence
iu a Republican Congress; a Re
publican Congress has confidence
in the Ways and Means Commit
tee; the Ways a.id Means Com
mitteeehas confidence in the
men who represent the trusts,
and the trusts write the tariff
law, and thus secure to them
selves the right to levy tribute to
the public." '
C.r mch a partnership be di
soh lid" asks Mr. Bryan, Is the
Republican party willing, or if
willing, is it able, to (rive the
measure of relief so obviously
needed by the country? Its last
history, its present rawnliership,
its present affiliations, forbid the
hope that its delayed promise of
reform will be carried out, ex
cept as of old, in the interest of
the lusty infant industries. He
is an optimist indeed who can
see any expectation of genuine
reform in the hands of Joseph G.
Cannon, - Senator Aldrich and
Messrs. 1'ayue, Dalzell and Sher
man. ."'.'
Mr. Bryan enforces thesecardi
nal truths: That the protective
system is not right in principle;
tliat it is not wise; that it is not
n'cessary. But the change to a
revenue basis should be gradual.
"The Democratic plan does not
contemplate an i in m 0 d 1 a ,t e
change from ono system to an
other; it expressly declares that
the change sho 11 be g ad uu I. We
believe th'-tt the experience the
people have bad with protection
lor protection's sake has led
them to favor a restoration of
the tariff by gradual steps' to a
revenue busk"
Iu awakening the American
peoplstothe necessity' of tatiff
reform; in demonstrating the .in
equalities of its but dens; in um
king plain to them the fallacy of
the arguments that support it,
Mr. Bryan can do a groat ser-
' if . ii .
vice. Jie uas me equipment as
well as the influence to perform
it eRectuallly Urn ovn closing
words should give Lire, both gui
dance and hope: '
,-lf the Republican party is to'
have the support of those who
find a pecuniary profit in the ex
ercise of the taxing power as a
private osnet in their business,
we ought to have the support
of that large majority of the peo

whoso airship that was recently

ted with Millionaire (Hidden 04
