MisN^ateinpiitH Freely Made to Bol ster I'p IIIh CnuNe—Economic I.(\wn Perverted With tlie DeMiK» of Con- fasine: Voter* — Democratit Falitely Accntted. Mlsrepresentntion was a word used with almost tllppnnt reiteration by Mr. Roosevelt In his letter of acceptance, and with Impressive unfairness he un dertook to show that all the misrepre sentation was ou the Democratic side, says the New Orleans Times-l>e:no- crat. All that Mr. Roosevelt .‘^Jiid ou the subject of misreprt'sentatlon may be applied to much of his boastful let ter and, with singular appropriateness, to mT’.cli that is being published iu Re publican nev\’spapcrs. Many of the newspapers now sup porting Mr. Roosevelt are floundering in a perfect sea of historic inaccuracies and economic blunders in an effort to bolster up his cau.se. The plain facts of history are distoi*ted to serve the questionable purpose of the moment, economic laws are pervertevl and twisted Into new and couveulent mean ings. and all with tlie mischievous de sign of befuddling and confusing the American electorate. As an Instance of this kind of misrepresoiitsstiou the following from the I’hiladelphia North A.merican, relating to conditions iu ISGcs the first year of tirover Cleve- iand’s last administration, will give an adequate idea: “Reports of commercial agencies showed that sales of textiles fell oiT from seventy and one-third million in 1892 to forty-four million In 1893; of iron, as per cent; of furniture, 2(i per cent; of shoes, 18 per cent; of hats, 19^^ per cent; of hardware, ID per cent; of wool, in three chief markets, from 212,000,000 pounds to 107,000,000 pounds, although the price of wool went lower than the lowest ever re ported. In May, Just after Mr. Cleve land's inauguration, the weekly produc tion of pig iron was 181,000 tons. In October it had fallen to 74,000 tons.” It Is dif&cult to understand the men tal processes responsible for these re markable conclusions. Mr. Cleveland was not inaugurated until March 4, 1893. What policy could he have in augurated in the tirst year of his last administration to bring about these results? If Mr. Cleveland had been the most radical of statesmen and had been surrounded at Washington by sympathetic supporters of the most \To!ent type he could not, by any ad- j ministrative policy, have protluced the fearful financial and industrial havoc this country knew in 1893. The fact is the panic was already on tlie country when Mr. Cleveland and i his party took charge of th« govern- I nient. Students of cconouiic condition.^ had detected symptoms of the ap- I proaching crisis before Mr. Cleveland ; was nominateil, before the agitation ^ of Lssues involved in that political con test began. The panic which climaxoi i In the fearful slaughter of values ii ! 1803 did not develop spasmodically, a^ I would have l)een the case If the dis turbance had been dtie to some sudden change in the policy of the govern ment. It was developed gradually as the result of Republican misrule, j The Republican party, wlilch was in power in IPIX), inste.id of arresting ag gravated the forces wiiicli wrecke banks, closetl factories, lowered thv scale of wages, tiirew thousands of men out of employment and brought on an era of unprecedented dlsa.ster in every avenue of profitable human endeavor in the American republic. The McKinley tarifif of 1890 stimulated production beyond the capacity of . American consumers and at a time j when there was no profitable outlet in I foreign markets for surplus domestic products. Whether wise or unwise as an uUimate policy the Immediate and inevitable result of the silver purchase act of ISO'- was to create alarm at home and abroad. These untoward and aggravatin>; events marked the country's history before Mr. Cleveland and his associ ates took charge of the government. It was beyona the power of the govern ment in 1893 to arrest the destructive forces which had already stricken the business energies of the country and which had hegi:n as the direct and im mediate result of Republican misman agement of national affairs and which had been encouraged by tlie legislative policies of the party In power in 1S90. It Is deliberate and purposeful mis representation to accu.se the Demo cratic party of being even in any re mote way responsible for the disasters which swept tlirough the business and industrial centers of the country In 1893. , plcion of misrepresentation of the most I aggravated form. Could any form of I misrepresentation be worse or more : offensive to the decent sensibilities of j humankind than that form which I would roi) the dead of due credit for I Just achievements? If we are to ac cept Mr. Roosevelt’s word as final, his own conduct during his three years’ occupancy of the executive chair at W ashington Is the sum and substance of the country’s history. The late William McKinley, who was generally supposed to have had something to do w^ith the programme which resulted In the satisfactory settlement of the Alaskan boundary dispute; who is credited by his counti’ymen with hav ing worked out the Cuban problem, pacifying the natives, reconstructing the government and placing fhe in habitants of the islands in a fair way to work out their own destiny; who de serves whatever credit may be due for the policies adopted in the management of the I’hilipplnes—William McKinley, who Avas suiiposed to have been u fac tor in originating and developing these and other policies of the Republican admlnistniti:>n, is completely lost in the shadow of Theodore Roosevelt. Fortunately for the memory of Wil liam McKinley there are men yet liv ing who will not be deceived by the boasting of tlie man w ho thus seeks to blur, by indirection at least, the value of his efforts. What but misrepresentation can the Democrats expect from such a man? If his self suQiciency betrays him into a misrepresentatkm of men of his own political faith he cannot l>e expected to find anj* virtuous thing in those who are arrayed against him or in tlie policies which they espou.se. If he is so blinded by vanity and the transient power he wields to forget the virtues of the man whose mantle he now wears Democrats cannot ex pect even fairness from this man of vaunted frankness and courage. There Is generally misrepre.sentatIon in poli tics. It Is uufortuuately one of the vices of the game. But we had hoped that this method of political warfare would l>e confiiK'd to a lower tj'pe of man and that no president of the Unit ed States and no man offering for this high and honorable position would ever stoop to adopt it.

In his letter of acceptance Mr. Roose velt had much to say on the subject of misrepresentation, and did not hesitate to accuse his opponents of using this weapon unblushingly in dealing with him and his record, says the New Or leans Tiraes-Democrat. 7Jhe questl»;Hi is entirely pertinent. Rtit it cannot be claimed that misrepresentation iu this cami)aign is confined to the Demo cratic party. Mr. Roosevelt, despite the ease with which he praises him self, is not entirely free frqna a sus- Why Should Monopolies Ke Porever Cuddled uuU Fedf A Repul)lican organ points wntli pride to tlie record sliowing that “in the three months of May, .Tune and July of the pre^jout year this country export ed $120,789,709 worth of manufactur ed articles and $10d.r>ti3,133 worth of agricultural products.” This is a tine showing. It would be still finer If the cost of many of our manufacturing articles were not en hanced beyond the exporting point by tariff duties on their raw in.Tlerijtls. a liandicap to which no foveigu competi tor is sultjected. But the question before the people is wliy. If our nianr.faitu:’crs are a’)le to export their goods at the rate of near ly ${>00,000,000 a year, do they need a 50 per cent tariff tvO ‘•protect" them from competlto"K whom they are mi- derselling in the markets of the world?

On eveiy side we have organized what are called trusts, jrreat combina tions of producers, which dominate iu the form of a single corporation eacli fi.eld of industiy. Prices were at once advanced, and the necessary conse quence followed that there was a dimi nution of consumption. Now, my friends, these trusts all have been sim ply devices to make the tariff laws for plunder effective, and they have suc ceeded. See what they have done and see what they work. See if they can possibly produce any other result than what we have seen in Cokirado.—From Bourke Cockran's Brooklyn Speech.
