' ;Mr. f ift hns lieard of his nomination and has made up
' his rnind to rut), giving his reasons therefor in an address
of 5000 words. This speech of acceptance is of a rather
mediocre chanfeter, has the familiar ring of the partisan
politician who credits his party with Tall the good things
of this world and the opposition with all that is evil. It
is marked by no flight of oratory and never gets out of the
well-worn rut of the commonplace, pointing with pride
t and viewing with scorn. ,
The address is largely a defense of the republican plat
form for its various omissions of planks favoring the
i, Roosevelt policies, a seeking to 'place favorable nonstrue-
' tion upon doubtful clauses, and the promise of carrying
out and perfecting machinery to punish the rich law vir
lators equally with the poverty-stricken ones, as well as
an attack upon the democratic platform.
Mr. Taft in many instances attempts to atone for the
' republican platform deficiencies by his own personal
promises. Jle advocates the physical valuation of rail
roads, says it is "relevant and important," adding that
it is "not necessarily the controlling factor." lie favors
the restraint of "unlawful trusts," but not their destnu
tion, and condemns the democratic idea of taking off the
tarill on articles produced bv tliese trusts, lie censures
the boycott, and advocates the use of the injunction in
strikes and condemns the democratic anti-injunction plank
as "an iusiduoiis attack upon the judicial system."
Mr. Taft favors postal savings banks, but opposes bank
deposits insurance as a tax on the honest banker to make
up for the dishonesty of others. The failure of the repub
lican convention to favor publicity of campaign contribu
tions is glossed over as follows: "We contrast our oppo
nents' promises with our own acts. If elected, I will urge
the passage of sm-h a law." The candidate does not think
an amendment to the Constitution for an income tax is
necessary, lie is "inclined to favor" election of senators
by the people, "but it is hardly a parly (juestion." He
favors ship subsidies and concludes that the only chance
for the nation's prosperity lies in his own election.
It will not, be long before! Mr. Bryan will hear of his
nomination and will also decide to accept and in a speech
just as long and perhaps longer, will show how the nation'
salvation lies in electing democrats to power. Then par
tisan papers will print column after column, ridiculing
and abusing the opposition, while singing praises of their
champions; mud will be thrown and smoke blown in Uu.
faces of the voters, who, like sheep, blindly follow leaders
whose animating purpose is a political job, and the great
American circus winch saves the country once in four
years, win ne on in I mi mast.

"Sectiritit'H nt market nriri'K will
huvn paNMi'd into (he hands of Miiltse
illt'nt jiuri'liHiorH from the original in
vestor. Nui'h I'ireiimstaiii'i's would proi
erly affect the deeittioli of ll tribunal
engaged iu dotermininjr whether the
totality of rates eharged is reasonable
fir excessive. The fjiM'stioli of rales
find the treatment of railways is one
that has two sides. The shippers eer
tainly are entitled to reasonable rates;
but less is V.ll injustice to tile carriers.
Krotll what has been mild, a proper cnn
elusion would seem lc be that in it t
tempting to Jet. rniine v.-hetlier the en
tire schedule of rates of it railway is
eicessiio the physical valu.ilion i f the
rnnd Is relevant and imi :ntaal, but not
necessarily the controllii g factor.
"I am confident the fixing of rates
on the principles Buggered above would
not materially impair the present mar
ket values of railroad Hccuriiies in
most cases, for 1 believe the noinial in
crease in the value of railroad proper
lies, specially i:: their terniini.ls will
more than limbo up for possible over
capitalisation In earlier yeurs.
"The chief difference- betwee.l the
ropimiiean nun uemucrntie plulform.i is
the difference which heretofore has been
seen vet ween Koosovelt and Urvini
rloas.-;elt s policies pr igresiave nail reg
ulntlve runt llrvaii s policies dm no
li vr.
"The combination of capital in large
was affected by revelations of irregu
stock, violations of the law and the lack
of rigid state or national supervision
in the management of our largest cor
porations. Gradually business is acquir
ing a healthier tone. Gradually all the
wealth that has been hoarded is coming
out to be used. I subrmt.to those most
interested, the wage earners, the farm
ers and business men, whether the in
troduction into power of the democratic
party with Bryan at its head and with
the business destruction that it openly
advocates as a remedy for the present
evils will bring about the needed confi
dence for the restoration of prosperity.
"The interests of the employer and
the employe never differ except when
it comes to a division of the joint
profit of labor and capital into divi
dends and wages. To give employes
the proper position in such a contro
versy, to euable them to nitaintaiu them
selves ugaiust their employers having
great capital, they may well uiute id
ealise iu uuioii there is strength, and
without it each individual laborer and
employe would be helpless.- The pro
motion of industrial peace through the
instrumentality of a trade agreement
is often one of the results of such a
union when it is intelligently conduct
ed. ' ; - -
"There is a large body of laborers,
however, skilled and unskilled, who do
not organize into uuioiis. Their rights
before the luw are exactly the same
as thoise of union men and arc to be
protected with the Bame care nod watch
fulness. Iu order to induce the employ
er into compliance with a request for
changed terms of employment, work
men have a right to strike in a body.
They have the right to use such per
suasion us they niaye, provided it does
not reach the point of duress, to lead
reluctant co llaborers to joiu them in
the uuion ngiiiuat the employer and
have the right, if they choose, to accu
mutate funds to supisirt those engaged
iu a strike; to delegate to officers the
power to direct the action of the union
and withdraw thomselveB and their us
sociutus from dealing with or giving
custom to those with whom they are
iu controversy. What they have not
the right to du is to injure the employ
er's property, to injure the employer's
business bv the use of threats or meth
ods (if physical duress against those who
would work for him or deal .with him,
or by carrying on what is sometimes
known us u secondary boycott against
customers or those whit whom ho deals
iu business. All tiiose who sympathize
with them muy unite to uid them in
their struggle, but tliey may not through
the instrumentality of threatened or
actual boycott, compel third persons
ueainst their will, uud having no inter
est in the controversy, to come to their
assitunce.
"Threatened uulawful injuries to
business like those described above can
only be adequately remedied by in
junction to prevent tlioai. It has been
claimed that injunctions do not issue
to protect anything but property rights,
and thut business is uot a property
right, but such a proposition is wholly
inconsistent with ull the decisions of
the courts. Jt is the fundamental rule
,f jurisprudence that no man shall be
affucted by a judicial proceeding with-
mt notice and hearing. 1 his rule, how
ever, sometimes lias exception in ine
issuiug of temporary restraining orders
ommuuding the defendant in effect to
muintuin status quo until a hearing.
Such a process shuuld issue only in
rare fuses where the threatened change
in status quo would inflict irreparable
injury if the time were taken to give
notice and hold a summary hearing.
"With respect to notice the democrat
ic platform contains no recommendation,
ft 's only intelligible declaration in re
gard to injunction suits is the reiter
ation of the plank in the platforms of
uud Itm4, providing that, in prose
cations for contempt iu federal cojrts
where violatiun of the order constitut
ing the contempt charge is outside the
preseuce of the court there shall be a
.jury trial. The extended operation of
sm-h a provision to weaken the power
of the courts in the enforcement of
lawful orders can hardly be overstated.
The administration of justice lies at
the foundation of the government. The
aiaiiiteuauce of the authority uf the
courts is essential unless we are pre
pared to embrace anarchy. Never in
the history of the country has there
been such uu insiiiuetis attack upon
Ihe judicial system as the proposal to
interject jury trial betwen all orders
of the courts made after a full hearing
and the enforcement of sm-h orders.
"The late panic disclosed a lack uf
lasticily in our financial system. This
has been previously met bv Ull act of
the present congress permitting the is
sue of additional emergency bank notes,
ami insuring withdrawal when the enter
gency lias passed by a high rate of tax
ilioti. II is drawn in conformity with
the present system of bank uote cur
reacy, but varies from it in certain
respects by aiittiori.iug the use of com
mercial paper ami bonds of good credit
:is well as rutted States bauds, as se
curity for its redemptiou. It is express
ly but a temporary measure and con
tains provision for the appointment of
i currency commission to recommeud
i new reformed system of currency.
This system is due to changed coudi
tious ami the enormous expansion gen
erallv rccoguircd.
In addition the republican platform
recommends the adoption of a isistal
savings liank system iu which, ut course
the government would become respousi
hie to the depositors for the payment of
principal and interest.
The democratic platform recom
mends a tax on uational banks ami such
state banks as mav come in, in the
lature of cuforced insurance, to raise
the gutiraulv fund to pav depositors
f any bank which fails. How state
auks can be included in such a scheme
under the Constitution is left in the
twilight zone of states' rights and fed
-ralisin so frequently dimming the mean
ing and purpose of the platform. The
proposition is to tax the honest, pru
tit tiauker to make up for the dis
onesty and imprudoncv of others. If
the proposal were adopted exactly us
the democratic platform suggests it
would bring ihe whole banking system

posed. Another plank io tie democratic plat
form refer to the failure of the repub
lican convention to express aa opinion
in favor of the publicity of contribu
tion) received aud expenditures made
in elections. Here, again, wi contrast
our opponents' primes with our own
aets. Great improvement has taken
place undr republican auspices in re
spect to the collection aud expenditure
of money for this purpose. If elected,
1 shall urge upon congress that a law
be passed requiring the filing in the
federal office of a statement of con
tributions received by committees and
candidates in elections.
"In my judgment, an amendment to
the- (Constitution for an income tax is
not neeeasary. With resjx.ct to the elec
tion of senators by the people, person
ally, I am inclined to favor it, but it is
hardly a party question.
If ever a party has entitled itself to
approval by its works by a renewed
mandate of power from the people whom
it has served, it is the republican party
in the present campaign. The only re
spect in which nothing has been done
is the development of our foreign ma
rines. As long as we uphold the pya
tern of protection for our home indus
tries we must recWuizn -that it is in
applicable to assist those of our citizens
engaged iu the foreign shipping1 busl
ness because there is no featdhle means
of excluding foreigu competition and
that the only other method of building
up mieh business is in the mail subsidy.
I am in favor of the bill considered in
the last congress ns a tentative step.
I have pointed out that the attitude
of the republican party with reference
to evils which have crept m, is to con
tinue the KooHevelt policies of progress
and regulation, while the attitude of
the democratic party uuder th present
leadership is to change for the sake of
change to the point of irresponsible
destruction and that there is no hope
whatever of a restoration of prosperity
in returning it to power."
