Business of $500,000,000 An
nually Expected if Under
wood Tariff Stands.
RECIPROCITY NOT WANTED
Present Situation Is Better Because
Nothing- Is Given In Return.
Mr. Taft Comments on
Dominion's Ambitions.
CINCINNATI. Nov. 3. (Special.)
Newspaper reports of Canada's intense
interest in the American Presidential
election comes as no surprise to ex
President Taft, who in an authorized
interview said:
"Newspaper reports show that Cana
dian business men and manufacturers
are greatly interested in the American
Presidential campaign and that Ca
nadians hope President Wilson will be
re-elected, in order that there may be
no change in the Underwood tariff.
"I don't blame them. Were I a Ca
nadian manufacturer I would, hate to
see Mr. Hughes and a Republican Con
gress elected. , Our election is almost
as vitally interesting- to Canada as to
our own country. With a Republican
President in the White House and a
Republican majority in Congress, Ca
nadian business men know that the
immense trade that they have built up
in the United States at the expense of
American manufacturers and American
workingmen will be taken from them
and returned to the Americans. They
know that the $300,000,000 worth of Ca
nadian products sold in the United
States this year will not be duplicated
next year. This business will go to
Americans instead.
Canadians Reject Reciprocity.
VDuring my Administration the
American Congress offered Canada the
benefit of our great buying capacity in
return for access to the Canadian mar
kets. We called it the Reciprocity act.
But Canada voted it down overwhelm
ingly. Canadian business men did not
want to have to compete with Ameri
can manufacturers on even terms. Then
the Underwood tariff was enacted. We
threw down our tariff wall and opened
our markets to the competition of the
world. Canadian business men, through
the Underwood tariff, secured even
more from America than they would
have gained under the Reciprocity act
and they gave absolutely nothing in
return.
"Here are some figures, compiled at
Ottawa, which show why the business
men of Canada are watching our cam
paign with anxiety. In 1912. the year
before the Underwood tariff was en
acted, Canada sent into America prod
ucts to the value of $105,000,000. In
1915, the second year of the Under
wood tariff, the exports to us were
worth $215,000,000 and in 1916 these ex
ports had increased to $300,000,000. Next
year they expect to sell us $500,000,000
worth of their products.
' $500,000,000 Trade Hoped For.
"Do you blame them for being on
pins and needles over the outcome of
our election? If that Underwood tar
iff should be changed, those $500,000,
000 will- be spent for American-made
goods instead of. for goods made in
Canada.
"But that is not all. Because the
Underwood tariff does not provide that
Canada shall give American, manu
facturers the same rights in Canada
that it gives to Canadians over here,
many of our American manufacturers
are being forced to locate in Canada
and to employ Canadian workingmen
instead of American workmen. The
Monetary Times, a financial news
paper of Toronto, estimated that in
1912 168 American firms, with invest
ments of $226,000,000. were located in
Canada. The same authority says 300
American factories, worth $500,000,000,
were in Canada.
"Canada is getting rich at the ex
pense of American manufacturers and
American workmen. They catch us
going and coming. They bring their
products over here without paying a
duty and they collect a tariff from us
when we send any of our goods across
the line to them.
Organization Is Prepared.
"Canadian newspapers say that when
this war is over Canada will find itself
with a wonderful commercial organ
ization, perfected for the purpose of
making munitions, but which can be
immediately turned into peaceful pur
suits. The newspapers tell of 1000 new
factories now used for war purposes,
but which will be turned into other
lines at the close of the war. The out
put of those factories will be brought
into this country and sold in compe
tition with the output of our factories.
"I don't blame Canadians for keenly
watching our campaign. They have so
much at stake it is the most natural
thing in the world that they should do
so. As long as the Underwood tariff
remains in eitect Canadians are prac
tically on a. parity with our own manu
facturers in American markets and
they have to give nothing in return.
It's a question of Canadian manufac
turers and Canadian workmen against
American manufacturers and Ameri
can workmen. If tUe Democrats win.
the Canadians retain their American
market .and American manufacturers
and American workingmen must pay
"Were I a Canadian business man. 1
should watch the American campaign

SWAPPING HORSES' URGED
Xatlon Pursued That Course, Says
Speaker, When It "Swapped" Bu
chanan for Lincoln -Guiding
Hand Now Needed.
NEW YORK. Nov. 3. Colonel Theo
dore Roosevelt criticised President
Wilson in emphatic words tonight in
an address at Cooper Union, delivered
at the request of a campaign organiza
tion of business men who oppose the
re-election of Mr. Wilson. Taking as
his subject. "Our Nation's Crisis."
Colonel Roosevelt said that a world
cataclysm has overwhelmed civilization
and that "the times have needed a
Washington or a Lincoln, but unfor
tunately we have been granted only
another Buchanan."
"I have been assailed," said the
speaker, "because I have criticised Mr.
Wilson. I have not said one thing of
him that was not absolutely accurate
and truthful. I have criticised him be
cause I believe he has dragged in the
dust what was most sacred in our past
and has jeopardized the most vital hopes
of our future. I criticise him now be
cause he has adroitly and cleverly and
with sinister ability appealed to all
that is weakest and most unworthy in
the American character, and also be
cause he has sought to lead many men
and women, who are neither weak nor
unworthy, but who have been misled
by a shadow dance with words.
Appeal to Baseness Condemned.
"He has kept the eyes of the people
dazzled so they know not what is real
and what is false. In the face of the
world he has covered this Nation's face
with shame as with a garment.
I hardly know whether to feel the
most burning indignation at those
speeches of his wherein he expresses
lofty sentiments, which his deeds belie,
or at those other speeches wherein he
displays a frank cynicism of belief in,
and an appeal to, what Is basest In the
human heart.
"No more sordid untruth ever was
uttered. Such a sentence eould be
uttered only by a President who cares
nothing for the Nation s soul, and who
believes that the Nation itself puts its
belly above its soul. I call the atten
tion of these apostles of the full belly
of these men who jeer at the Nation's
soul, I call the attention of President
Wilson and his Secretary of War and
his Secretary of the Navy of What
Washington said of his own soldiers in
a letter to Congress."
Washington's Own Words Quoted.
Colonel Roosevelt then read the
statement from Washington's letter on
the Army's suffering as. without suffi
cient clothes or blankets or shoes, the
men marched with bleeding feet
through snow, submitting without a
murmur.
"This Is what Washington said,"
commented Colonel Roosevelt. "Does
Mr. Wilson think that these men of
Valley Forge were not patriots because
they were starving? Mr. Baker and
Mr. Daniels have done evil to this
country only because they stood where
their master. Mr. Wilson, placed them.
I call your attention to their state
ments not only because they are foul
slanders on everything that is good
In human nature and on every Ameri
can worth, calling an American, but
because they show the character of
II r. Wilson."
Colonel Roosevelt earlier In his ad
dress said that the appeal bad been
made for Mr. Wilson that "we should
not change horses in crossing a
stream." On this he commented as
follows:
"The worth of such an appeal is ob
vious when the horse, whenever he
comes to a stream, first pretends he Is
going to Jump It, then refuses to en
ter it, and .when he has reached the
middle alternately moves feebly for
ward and feebly back and occasionally
lies down.
"Swapping Horses1 Justified.
"We had just entered the greatest
crisis in our history when we 'swapped
horses' by exchanging Buchanan for
Lincoln and If we had not made the
exchange we would not have crossed
the stream at alL The failure now to
change Mr. Wilson for Mr. Hughes
would be almost as damaging."
After asserting that Washington and
Lincoln stood for a full union of the
people and for employment of the Na
tion's strength to meet all needs. Colo
nel Roosevelt said that this country
now should, in facing problems new in
kind and degree, be guided by the
spirit of the lesson taught by the ca
reers of Washington and Lincoln,
though methods in present industrial
life must differ from those that ob
tained in the time of these men.
"We must recognize, as modern Ger
many has recognized." said Mr. Roose
velt, "that it is folly to try to crip
ple business by making it ineffective,
or to fail to insist that the wage-earner
and consumer must be given their
full share of prosperity that come,
from successful application of modern
industrial Instrumentalities."
Colonel Roosevelt charged that.
though President Wilson had said that
when he started in one direction ho
would never turn back, "his whole
record has consisted in turning back
at every point where he was bidden
to do bo either by fear or self-interest."
' Credit Claimed for Xmtrallty.
"He has been claiming credit be
cause, in the case of Belgium. h s
preserved a neutrality that -would
make Pontius Pilate quiver with envy.
ana yet, in nis speech last Thursday,
he said that never again must we be
neutraL He has kept us absolutely
unprepared, yet he now says we must
enter the next war.
"He has looked on without a single
throb of his cold heart, without the
least quickening of his tepid puis
while gallant Belgium was trampled in
the bloody mire, while the Turk inflict
ed on the Armenian and Syrian Chris
tians wrongs that would have blasted
the memory of Attila, and he has
claimed credit for his neutral indif
ference to their sufferings ; and yet. 10
days before election, he says, the
United States must hereafter refuse to
allow small nations to bo mishandled
by big. powerful nations.
"Do it now. Mr. Wilson! If you mean
what you say, Mr. Wilson, show that
you mean It by your action in the
present."
Near the close of his address Colonel
Roosevelt said:
"Mr. Wilson now dwells at Shadow
Lawn. There should be shadows
enough' at Shadow Lawn: the shadows
of men. women and children who have
risen from the ooze of the ocean bot
tom and from graves in foreign lands;
the shadows of the helpless whom Mr.
Wileon did not dare protect lest he
might have to face danger: the shadows
of babies, gasping pitifully, as they
sank under the waves: the shadows of
women, outraged and slain by bandits:
the shadows of Bojd and Adair and
their troopers, who lay in the Mexican
desert, black blood crusted around their
mouths, and their dim eye. looking up
ward because President Wilson had
sent them to do a task and had then
shamefully abandoned them to foes who
knew no mercy. These are the shadows
proper for Shadow Lawn: the shadows
of deeds never done: the shadows of
lofty words that were followed by no
action: the shadows of the tortured
dead.'

near future." the nominee told an audi
ence at Newburgh. "because there are
qutte a number of things that we must
carefully consider.
: Among the chief of these Mr. Hughes
ranked commercial competition after
the war. with European nations, "not
at an wasted bv war. but disciplined
organized as they have been before."
The Underwood tariff. Mr. Hughes
said, "would not meet the situation as
& measure of protection to American
Industry.
Opponent's Tenacity Admired.
"Our opponents told us four years
ago." Mr. Hughes said at Kingston, "of
the wonderful opportunities they were
going to give to American business.
"We know what actually followed. I
do not mean that they were Insincere.
I simply mean that what they think
fitted American life does not work with
it."
Mr. Hughes said he asked his oppo
nents what they were going to do about
safeguarding American industry, and
they replied that they had a tariff com
mission. A tariff commission, he con
tinued, did not pass laws.
"I do not blame them," he said, "for
their continued adherence to the old
policy which through the generations
they have maintained, and the doctrine
which in platform after platform they
have asserted. I really in a sense ad
mire their tenacity and the way in
which they ignore the facts of life In
their constancy of spirit.
Democrats Resent Crltleiana.
It was no time. Mr. Hughes declared,
"for his political opponents to be sen
sitive about criticism.
"We are taking account of stock."
he said in his Newburgh speech. 'Our
opponents seem to be a little sensitive
about the stocktaking. They seem to
have the idea that there ought not to
be any criticism of the Administration.
Well, we would not do very well In
American life under our institations If
we went ahead In that way. We want
fair criticism. We want candid criti
cism, but we must conserve the oppor
tunities of American life and the honor
of the American name."
The policy which would conserve the
honor of the American name and re
sult In upholding American rights was
not the policy of braggarts, he added.
Nation ot to Be Boastful.
"We have not the slightest desire to
go through the world as braggarts,
boasters." he ulIO. "We haven't any
desire to stimulate Ill-feeling by a
truculent attitude. What we want to
show is this: That In a world of keen
rivalries and excellent understandings
we constantly stand erect as a Nation
having courage and the indomitable
spirit which our ancestors showed when
they established our Government, which
our later fathers showed when they
preserved the Integrity of the Nation:
that we are a land devoted to justice,
that we are intent In a courteous way
upon maintaining our National honor
and that the rights of American cltl-
zens on land and sea. throughout the
world will, in all events, be main
tained." If young Americans were to go forth
as the advance guard of American en
terprise. Mr. Hughes said in his Kings
ton speech, "it must be understood
throughout the world that there Is no
prouder title than that of American
citizen and that the American flag pro
tects men lawfully doing their work
wherever they may be."
Crowds Gather at Each Stop.
Mr. Hughes spoke at Hudson. Kings
ton. Pcughkespsie, Newburgh and
Yonkers. Crowds greeted him at each
stop. At each place many sought to hear
the nominee unsuccessfully for lack of
room at meeting halls. At Harmon,
where the special stopped to change en
gines, groups of railroad men in over
alls left their engines to gather around
thef rear platform of his car. They
cheered, him and several shouted that
they were going to vote for him. Oth
ers wished him good luck.
In his Newburgh speech Mr. Hughes
declared that he would deal faithfully
with each problem. If elected, and seek
its reasonable solution.
"All that Is worth while in this life."
he said, "is the opportunity to serve to
the be.t of one's ability. While I can
not tell what the special exigencies of
coming years may be. I propose, so far
as In me lies, if you Invest me with
executive authority, to deal with each
problem faithfully, according to Its
merits, and solve it as Judgment and
conscience may require."
Mr. Hughes will remain here until
after election. He will receive the re

hotel he has made his city headquarters
