The Republican party found a Jew

lie will not vote for Bryan, because
that would be to vote against the
quickening of activity In manufac
ture, trado and transportation. ,
This is a Republican campaign of
reason, not rant; of argument, not
agitation. Mr. Taft, the candidate,
makes Its effective advocate. The
more the country sees of his person
ality the mere assured Is Republican
victory. "
Judge Taft not only wins votes by

These are the school days for the

are conning their political text books
al3o, but their study Is In the nature

upon which two examinations have
boon passed triumphantly,
fiKu
8tlU Trying to Fool tbe Farmer.
Now, as In 180(1 mid ognln In 1000,
the f armors are objects of Mr. Bryan's
pedal solicitude, lie assures them,
greatly to tbolr surpruta, that they are
oppressed and suffering, that their con
ill i lou ts going from bud to wens and
that their only escape from the awful
fate which threatens them lies In tils
election to the presidency. All this
sort of talk Is simply an empty echo
of a speech delivered by Mr. Bryan la
Syracuse, N. Y, Aug. 20, 1800, In the
course of which be sold;
"You can talk to the farmer from
now until tUctlon day, but you will
never eonvlno him that a gold stand
rd has brought anything but ruin and
distress to the f armor,"
There Is nothing lo Mr. Bryan's cam
palgn methods quite so amaxlng as
bla perslsteut Insults to the Intelli
gence of the American farmers. II
appears to lielleve that they are too
stupid to understand the simplest busi
ness conditions and that therefore they
can be fulled by a tricky misrepre
sentation of facts. No other candidate
for prtMldont ever dared to act opon
the Insolent aasumnilon that the farm
ers are fools, and no otbor candidate
was ever so crushtngty censured by
the vote of the great agricultural states
as Bryan was In 1800 and 1000.
The ruin and distress" which the
gold standard has brought to the farm
ers are clearly disclosed In official sta
tistics compiled by the United States
bureau of labor. Comparing the fig
ures for 180(1. when the people definite
ly decliired for the gold standard and
against Bryanlsra. with those for 1007,
It appears that the price of farm prod
ucts has Increased 75.10 per cent In
the same period the prices of food
have Increased only 40.57 per cent, the
prices of cloth and clothing only 38.77
tuti Mint I hn nrlwa fit fnnl nnil lltrh.
lug only 20.43 per cent, the prices of
metals and Implements only 03.04 per
cent, ha prices of lumber and build
ing materials only C7.SS per cent, the
I prices of bouse furnishing goods, only
20.00 per cent and the prices of drags
i
and chemicals only 18.30 per cent
These figures tell their own story,
and a regiment of Bryans cannot re
fute It They show that tU farmers
have profited more largely from the
advance In the prices of staple commod
ities In the last twelve years than
any other class of business men. A
given quantity of bis products for
which the farmer received $100 la
1800 was worth $173.10 to him In 1007.
His produce would purchase 24.50 per
cent more food, 20.18 per cent more
clothing, 14.41 per cent more Imple
ments. 47.04- per cent more chemicals
and 88.89 per cent more bouse fur
nishings In 1007 than It would lo 1800.
The value of the less principal farm
crops of the United States rose from
$1,800,000,427 In 1805 to $2,143,512,083
In 1S00 to $3,05a000.000 In 1007. In
other words, the specific declaration of
the people for the gold standard bat
been followed by a rising tldo of pros
perity In agricultural Industry , abso
lutely undreamed of In the old days of
financial uncertainty, unstable credits
and reckless agitation for cheap money.
Mr. Bryan Is entirely familiar with
these facts, but be lacks the courage
to acknowledge thorn. Ho knows
that since the people condomned his
attempt to betray the national credit
and debase the national currency, the
farmers have prospered as never be
fore, and If the teachings of experi
ence were of the slightest value to him
he would know, too, that bis effort this
year to brand tbcm as whining mendi
cants will be rebuked as indignantly as
were bin slmllnr efTorts In 1800 and

MnlneLoynl to HcpiiMlean Principles
Nobody bus argued that the wave of
prohibition which bus swept qver tho
south within the past few years por
tended any great political change In
the states below Mnsou and Dlxoti's
line. It would be Just as absurd to as
sume that because the opponents of
prohibition showed unexpected strength
In Maine, the mult of the struggle In
dicated declining loyalty to Republican
principles and the Republican cause In
the national contest Everybody knows
how bitterly local contests on the pro
hlbltlon Issue are fought to a finish;
bow earnestly tbe contestants concen
trate tbelr enorgles on the one point In
the election In which they are Inter
ested and have thought and vision for
naught else. Imagine telling a Texan
Democrat that because be voted against
his party on the liquor question be
could be counted on to vote against
It In n national campaign!
I Quite as ridiculous would be the ln-
i ference that a Mafue farmer voting for
local option on Sept 14 would vote for
Bryan, compulsory bank robbery and
government purchase of railways for
Ave or six thousand millions of dol
lars and other Bryan brain storms on,
Nov. 3. 5 That tbe Republican ship of,
state ' weathered the antl-prohlbltlon
tempest In Maine and reached port
with a substantial majority Is wt
gratifying evidence that In the presi
dential election the adage of a genera
tion ago will again be gloriously verl-fled-"As
goes Maine, so goes tbe
Union!"'
