00 to list the taxable property
in 1910. This was under Re
publican rule. In 1911 the rst
year of Democratic rule it csst
the taxpayers $870.75 to list the
property in this County nearly
four times as much as it cost
under Republican rule. Some
of the listers were paid over
$100.00 for this services. In
1912 at cost $423.25, nearly
twice as much to do the same
work under Democratic rule as
it cost under Republican rule.
Why is it Democratic list takers
are paid, so much more to do
the same work. Their work
was no better than the Republi
can't and yet they were paid
one year four times as much as
the Republican's were paid and
the other year twice as much.
Don't all answer at once it might
cause confusion.

Tax Equalisation.
Our Democratic friends said
much a few years ago about
equalizing the taxes and the
last Legislature passed some
laws in regard to it and a host
of 'men went about the state
Equalizing the value of property

they. Equalize you Mr, Voter

There is a difference between
he Republican aid the Demo
cratic platforms that 1 "every
workingman and ? business "man
should know. . Here it is. Read
the platforms for "yourself. ,-..
The Republican platform de
clares for a .continuance of the
protective tariff; 'v the Demo
cratic platform declares againt
a protective tariff and in favor
of tariff for revenue only.
Everybody does not under
stand what this means, but
everybody should, because the
failure to understand this dif-
erence in 1893 closed a great
many factories, cut down wages
all along the line, put thousands
out of employment aud opened a
good many soup houses.
The tariff of 1893 was the
Wilson tariff, fathered by Prof
essor Wilson, a Virginia college
proefessor. The tariff recom-
mened by the Demacratic plat
form this year in supported by
another able and eminent college
professor also named Wilson,
coming from New Jersey.
We never knew a tariff plat
form prepared by college profes
sors that did not result in injury
to the workingman and business
of the country. Put one of these
college professors behind the
merchant's counter and see how
tie would run the business.
Put him in the shop, or at the
bench, and see if he could fill a
workingman's place.
The difference between a pro
tective tariff for revenue is this:
A protective tariff is, as its name
mplies, a tariff high enough to
protect the American wage
schedule and the American shop
from the intrusion of the cheap
er foreign labor or the products
of the cheaper foreign shop.
President McKiniey explained
this and the workinemen and
business men of the country un
derstood him and supixrted
him.
The Democratic platform de
clares that we have no constitu
tional right to protect theAmer
ican watr-earner, the American
shop or the American manu
facturer by putting a tax on the
products of fOreiirn labor and
that' the only excuse for this tax
is because we must levy it 10

secure the revenues to supxrt

The difference between the
Democratic and Republican view
of the tariff question is clear
The workingmen and business
men of the country are not so
thick-headed1 that they cannot
understand it.
We are for any candidate who
stands for the prtection of Ameri
can wages and American pfos
penty. We are against any
candidate who is a free trader
or 'who leans that way."

THEODORE ROOSEVET SHOT.
Angry Crowd Gathered Around Would-Be Assassin,
But Col. Roosevelt Counselled Moderation
He Delivered His Speech.
Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 14
Colonel completed his speech at
45 o'clock and was taken to
the Emergency hospital.
Six physicians examined Col
onel Roosevelts wound. They
bund it impossible to determine
the depth to which the bullet
had penetrated, and it was de
cided to take an exray photo

The prisoner told the police
after an hour's examination that
he was .John Schrank, of 370

Milwaukee, Wis., Oct. 14
heodore Roosevelt was shot in
the breast here tonight by an
unidentified man. The extent of
the injury is unknown. With
bullet in his body, Colonel
Roosevelt went to the audi
torium to make his speech. He
refused to permit physicians to
examine the wound until he had
finished his speech. At 9:10
o'clock he was still speaking al
though weak from loss of blood.
Cdlonel Roosevelt's physician
refused to express an opinion
whether the colonel's injury was
serious until he had examined
the wound.
It is believed Roosevelt's in
ury is not serious. The colonel
felt no pain at the time the shot
was fired and not aware of the
fact tha the was shot until he
was on the way to the audi
torium. His attention was then
colled to a hole in his overcoat
and he found his shirt was soak
ed with blood. He insisted he
was not badly hurt. A super
ficial examination was made
when he reached the auditorium
and three physicians agreed he
was in no immediate danger.

Colonel Roosevelt saw his as
sailant arrested and taken to
the police station.
Henry F. Cochems seized the
man and held him until police
men came up. A mob surged
aroundHhe prisoner, who ap
parently is mentally upset on
the subject of Roosevelt's run
ning for another term as Presi
dent.
The man, who is small of
statue, admitted bring the shot,
and said that "any man looking
for a third term ought to be
shot."
In notes found in the man's
pockets at police station was a
statement that the assailant
had been visited in a dream by
the spirit of William McKiniey,
who had said, indicating Colonel
Roosevelt, "This is my murder-
er; avenge my deatn.
Colonel Roosevelt's life proba-
bly was saved by a manuscript
of the speech which he delivered
tonight. The bullet struck the
manuscript which retardud its
force as it passed through into
the ffesh. His assailant was
prevented from tiring a second
shot by Albert H. Martin, one
of Colonel Roosevelt's two sec
retaries. Colonel Roosevelt had

and assuring them he was not
