perlshabiy tn Wstoryj . i , '
Mr. Bryan Vithin the brief period
of 12 years has done that which was
never accomplished by any - private
citizen. He promulgated views that
. were execrated by his political op
ponents and repudiated by a. large
- wing of his political friends. He de-
. fended these views at the cost of per-
onal popularity. . Refusing to be an
- opportunist, rejecting compromise
: and adhering firmly and forever to
the faith In him, he so Impressed his
personal beliefs upon his country
men that the president of an oppos
ing political party adopted those
( views as the policies of his admin
istration. The acceptance by this
president ot the personal views of a
private citizen, views that a few
' years before he had denounced, con
stitutes a vindication of the states
.manshlp of private citizenship never !
before eeen in political annals. In
the popularity that came to that
president' lp consequence of his ad
vocacy of Mr. Bryan s views, was
. given to the great Commoner another
indorsement that made him the most
notable private citizen in the world.
Other men have achieved In con
rtructlve statesmanship, bnt lt has
always been when clothed In the
habiliments of official power. Wash
ington, commanded the armies and
was the nations executive. Jeffer
son. Jackson and Lincoln wrought as
presidents of the republic. Bryan
was neither. "
Moreover, he twice sustained de
feats for the presidency, blows that
would have ' destroyed a man of
smaller, mould.- . By reason of his
power. Mr. Brytn has not only risen
hlrber aad higher fn thw admiration

MORE FOOLS IN THE FAMILY
A
T YONKKRS, N. Y., a manu
facturing town, Mr. Taft said
It was dependent upon the
protective system. That ia to
say, men engaged In certain kinds of
Industry are "dependent" upon leg
islation that favors and benefits
them, at the expense of others. Bu
what about all these others all con
sumers? Why should the law con
fer especial benefits upon manufac
turers, rather than upon farmers,
mechanics or any other class or
group of people?
The excuse is that wea-of work
ingmen au tnus kept up - This is a
dishoneetand false pretense. An
average tariff of 10 or 12 per cent
would do that, as has often been
shown, but besides that the pro
tected .manufacturers do not divide
their profits with their employes.
They buy their labor as cheaply as
they can, exactly as they would If
they were not protected at all.
The average tariff is now over 52
per cent, and It enables large manu
fact a re re and manipulators to com
bine,-to drive out smaller com pet I
tors, and to form monopolies and
raise prices to consumers without
raising wages at all. This Is Just

Something Ia Wrong.
There is a woeful lack of enthusiasm
among Republicans this fall- and there
is a woeful tendencv on the part of
Republican speakers and newspapers to

ator Fulton Is. a good speaker and be

enthusiasm.
Then the address Itself seemed to
lack something. Ml Fulton did not
