REPUBLICAN PARTY
AND LABOR
Aa Equality of Opportunities Se
cured for Wage Earner.
rilli am H. Taft's Speech of Accept
ance GHvea Party Record la Behalf
ei Labor.
. fWUlUn B. Taft In bit speech of ac
ceptance.)
We ooae bow to the question of la,-
lor. Oae Important phase of the poli
ties ef the present administration has
keen an anxiety to secure for the wage
earner an equality of opportunity and
ioeh potlUTe statutory protection ts
hall plaos him on a level In dealing
with his employer.
The Republican party has passed aa
easployers' liability act for Interstate
railroads, and has established, an eight
. hour law for gOTeronient employes and
en government construction. The ea
evnce of the reform effected by the for
mer, Is the abolition of the fellow Mr
rant rale and the introduction of the
eomparttlve negligence theory by
which aa employe Injured in the senrice
ef his employer does not lose all his
right to recover because of slight negli
gence on his part .
Then (here is the act providing for
compensation for Injury to government
employes, together with the various
statutes requiring safety appliances
spon Interstate commerce railroads for
the protection of their employes and
limiting the hours of their employment
These are all Instances of the desire
ef the Republican party to do Justice to
the wage-earners.
Doubtless a more comprehensive
measure for compensation of govern
ment employes will be adopted In the
future; the principle in such cases has
been recognized and in the necessarily
somewhat slow course of legislation
will be more folly embodied in definite
statutes. '
The interests ef the employer and the
employe never differ except when It
comes to a division of the Joint profit
ef labor and capital Into dividends and
wages. This must be a constant source
ef periodical discussion between the
employer and the employe, as indeed
are the other terms of the employment
To give to employes their proper po
sition in such a controversy, to enable
them to maintain themselves agaimst
employers having great capital,, they
may well unite, because in union there
fe strength, and without It, each indi
vidual laborer and employe would be
helpless. The promotion of the indus
trial peace through the Instrumentality
f the trade agreement is often one of
the results of such union when Intelli
gently conducted.
There is a large body of laborers,
however, skilled and unskilled, who are
not organized into unions. Their rights
before the law are exactly the same as
tiose of the union men, and are to be
protected with the same care and
Watchfulness. '
In order to Induce their employer
Into a compliance with their request
for changed terms of employment
workmen have the right to strike in a
body.
They have a right to use such per
suasion as they may, provided It does
not reach the point of duress, to lead
their reluctant co-laborers to Join them
In their union against their employer,
and they have a right, If they choose,
to accumulate funds to support those
engaged in a strike, to delegate to f
.ficers the power to direct the action of
the union, and to withdraw themselves
and their associates fron deaflngs with
or giving custom to those with whom
they are in controversy.
TAFT'S KINDNESS TO BLIND.
Overrules Washington Monument
Begulation for Benefit of the
Sightless.
The kind heartedness of Mr. Taft
and his sincere, common sense sym
pathy with the unfortunates in this
world has Just been brought to the at
tention of the blind in a peculiar way.
Away up in the top of the Washing
ton monument, where thousands go to
behold the beauties of the nation's
capital, the Columbia Polytechnic in
stitute, which seeks to make It possi
ble for the adult blind of the United
Btates to rise above conditions of de
pendence by becoming self sustaining,
placed en sale souvenir post cards
manufactured by its blind. Some sen
timental persons took the view th.it
this was undignified aud succeeded in
having the superintendent .of public
buildings and grounds order the card
removed. F. E. Cleavelaud, principal
ef the Institute, appealed to Mr. Tuft,
then secretary of wnr and within
whose Jurisdiction came the office of
public buildings and groundn. It took
ely a few words to eenvinee the sec
retary that the blind should have tho
benefit of this privilege, and the cards
were again placed on sale in the mon
ument t 'v -'
"Tor this action," said Prinolpal
Cleaveland' In discussing the incident,
"Mr. Taft .deserves the gratitude of
every bliBd person, particularly the
progressive blind, who are striving to
heln their less fortunate fellows."
ii . . ' .
In Georgia the electors must have a
majority, and with Watson, iliisgen and
Cbafla pulling away from 'tin in the
Bryanltes are becoming spprehcusire.
DEMOCRATIC HOPE SIDETRACKED
Taft and Foraker Shoulder te Shoal
der for Republican Principles,
v' Another Democratic hope has been
sidetracked. Hint was that United
States Senator Foraker would not sup
port the Taft candidacy, and would
thus impair his cluuices of carrying the
State of Ohio.
The two big Outoaus fittingly met
at the 0. A. R. reuulon in Toledo, and
publicly and good-naturedly cast what
differences may hare existed between
them to the air.
Mr. Taft's contribution to the treaty
of peace was as follows:
"It is a pleasure for me to be here
with Senator Foraker, because when
Ccrernor of Ohio be gave me my first
chance and took a good deal of risk lu
pulling a man of 29 on the bench of
the Superior Court of Cincinnati. We
are about to enter or rather have en
tereda great oratorical campaign. It
ix a pleasure to think In this presence
that we are going. to stand In the
campaign shoulder to shoulder, with
the full strength of the Republican
party." "
In response Senator Foraker deuled
that enmity had existed between Mr.
Tuft and himself, and said:
"Under the circumstances I hope I
may be pardoned if I soy here in this
presence the first time I have had
opportunity to say It that there is uot
row and so far as I know there never
has been the slightest HI feeling of any
Mud between Mr. Taft and myself.
"If there Is anything I have a right
to claim beyond another, it is that I
im Republican three hundred and sixty-
five days In the year. I have my prcf
preurei sometimes as to who should
receive the honors of the pnrty, and
everybody generally finds out what they
e. But I am one of those old fiish-
om'd Republicans who settle every sm-h
inestion. at the convention. When the
Chicago convention nominated Mr. fa ft
he the Republican candidate for the
Presidency this year, that Instant be
became my leader. He has been uiy
wider ever since, aud he will be my
eader until the polls close on the night
)f the election."
Mr. Foraker followed with an esti
mate of Jnd? Taft's fltnes for the
office he seeks by repeating what Bishop
Fallows bad said before him.
"I want to repeat it" he said, "that
his experience ou the bench, In the
Philippines, as Secretary of War, In
the construction of the Panama Canal.
In all the positions be has filled, ha
been such as to qualify Mr. Taft al
most beyond every other man for the
Presidency. We are going to elect him.
and If he does not make a success of
It, it will be his own fault"
Senator Foraker followed this state
ment with a review of his early ac
quaintance with Judge Taft, and the
favorable impression be then gained of
him.
WHERE SHERMAN STANDS.
Approves Legislation to Improve the
Conditions of Labor.
(From Sherman's Speech of Accept
ance.)
The Republican party believes in the
equality of all men before the law;
elieves in granting labor's every re
peat that does not seek to accord
rights to one man denied to another.
air-minded labor asks no more, no
less, and approves the record of the
Republican party because of that par
ty's acts.
I have helped to make my party's
record in the enactment of the Eight
Flour law, the Employers' Llabllltj
ict, the statutes to minimize the tin.
ard of railroad employes, the Child
Labor law for the District of Columbia
and other enactments designed especial
ly to Improve the conditions of labor.
I cannot hripe to better state my posi
tion on injunctions than by a Speclfl"
endorsement of Mr. Taft's Cincinnati
declaration on that subject. That en
dorsement I make.
But He Buns on Forever.
(From the New York Sun.)
What will Mr. Bryan say
After next election day?
Mr Bryan will Insist
That he is an optimist.
Beaten three times! What of that?
He's the one great Democrat
Witling for his fellow men
To be beaten once again.

In the old, oft stranded ship.
(They have quarters in the stern I.
In this antiquated craft,
Willie they gaze at Mr. Taft
Miles ahead the race near done
And by Taft and Sherman won
Mr. lryan, ever wise,
Doubtless will philosophize
And to Mr. Kern recite
That remark, already trite,
All pntred and often sprung;
'Butten? Yes,, but I'm still young."
I t-an wait another four
Years, then try the race once more,
I have got this thing down pat,
I'm the one great Democrat!"
