A Question Ot Waces. 1"! the mail of Colonel Andrews ? j few days ago v.-as a letter from an of ficer of the National Roller Bearing | company, of Philadelphia who stated hat a notice had been posted in the lactory to the effect that the id per . cent reduction which had been made • in the wages of the employes of that corporation in the midst oi the panic : of last year, would be restored to all i employes In November it Taft siial; be elected president. The Increase would amount to SCO, 000 a year. In commenting upon this announce ment the editor of the Philadelphia lu , quirer said: | "We have not the slightest doubt i that should Mr. Bryan run across that, j notice he would tell his hearers that bribery had been resorted to; that here was an attempt to influence the workingmen. But we doubt very much If his hearers would agree with him. "It Is prosperity, the pursuit of hap piness and liberty that everybody seeks. It is good wages that the work logman Is after. The government, the policy that gives him good wages, is the government, the policy that he be lieves In and supports —It he knows where his interests He "Rack under the Cleveland ad minis tratlon the country was p'uuged into s depression that closed t'o mills and produced the free soup kitchens. Mr Hrvan was a member of the Demo cratlc house that insisted upon a tariff bill that brought disaster Today he it a candidate for president and is stand lng upon a platform which, if enactd* into law, would again throw the coun try Into a commercial panic and again close the mtlis and manufactories. "The company above mentioned merely speaks for every other manu factoring concern tn the country It represents the existing sentiment among employers of labor. They have uot forgotten. They fully understand what would be the result should Mr Brytin be elected. They are waiting tor the decision of the people. A Re publican victory means the restoration of wages and the mills running at full time. A Democtatlc victory means uncertainty and depression. "It Is for the voters of the nation to determine what they will do. "it is for them to make the choice between certainty and uncertainty— between Taft and Bryan." HASKELUSNOT THE ONLY BURDEN Bryan Handicapped by Kerr Corporation Connections. GUFFEY MEN NOW LAUGHINE With the Oklahoma Steam Roller Ma chlnlst In Disrepute and the New National Committeeman From Thit State Uncovered, the Pittsburg Coi one! Seems to Have Had His Re venge. ■ [Special Correspondence.) New York, Oct 6 Pennsylvani&as, both Republicans and Democrats, will be interested in disclosures made by a correspondent ot the New York Sun regarding the corporation connections of Bryan sin tiinate friend, Jaines Kerr, of Clear field, Pa., whom he catapaulted into the Democratic national committee at Denver after the Haskell steam roller, at Bryan's direction, had crushed out Colonel James M. Guffey, who had not only subscribed many thousands of dollars to Bryan's campaign funds, but also furnished free of cost the stained glass windows which adorn the Bryar. household at Lincoln. Haskell, owing to the exposure ot his Standard Oii connections, has had to retire from the treasurershlp of the Democratic national committee. But Kerr still holus on. Kerr and Corporations. Here is what a New York Sun cor respondent has just written about Mr Kerr: "To the accompaniment of the blare of trumpets and the waving of many flags, Colonel James M. Guffey, ot Pennsylvania, was convicted at Den ver of the unpardonable sin of being a corporation man, and the spotless James Kerr was installed in his place as Democratic national committeeman from the Keystone state. Never mind, the fact that Colonel Guffey was the selection by a large majority of the properly constituted delegation oi Democrats of his state. The state is hopelessly for Taft anyway, and there fore personal animosities must be gratified while the ancient bluff ot •peepul' is carried out. "The Peerless Leader therefore smiled expansively and the faithful cohorts chortled for joy when tbe wicked Mr. Guffey was exiled and that well known corporation hater, 'free from spot or blemish or any such thing,' was presented faultless before the representatives of tbe downtrodden ; masses: "But what is this we find?

"Can this exalted apostle of civic : righteousness be the same James Kerr who for years has shared with that other disinterested Democrat aud one time candidate for governor of New York, the Hon. John B. Stanchfleid, the distinction —represensible but re munerative —of safeguarding the in i terests of.the New York Central in the regions which lie between Geneva on the north and Willlamsport on the south? Can this same Mr. Kerr be the immaculate defender of the 'peepul's rights who in the organization of the New York Central's coal corporation the 'Beech Creak Coal ft Coke com pany,' sat Is his offlre and 'created ' wealth' by signing up an artistic col i lection of common stock certificates which were not heavily weighed down by mere physical assets as equity therefor! "Alas! Alas! How are the mighty I fallen and the weapons of war per- ' ished! IT IS TO LAUGH." Taft te Farmer#. Pennsylvania farmers will be inter i ested Is the speeches being made b> • Judge Taft In the west, especially hi& references to the beneficial results ol I the enforcement of the Republlcar. . policy of a protective tariff. At Dodge City a sign had been placed on a grain eleva-tor which read: "Wheat, 1908, 93 cents, Republican rule; wheat, 65 cents. Democratic- ; rule." Taking notice of the sign. Mr. Taft said tc his largo audience: "I have statistics a little more coia : plete than that. The average price of | corn in Kansaa in 'DC. after four years ; of Democratic rule, was 18 cents per bushel. Now it is more than 44 cents per bushel. This Republican price of ; 44 cents for corn in Kansas gave to i the farmers of Kansas for their corn crop of 1907 more than $40,000,000 in excess of what they would have re ceived if they had sold at the Demo cratic price of IS cents. "With respect to wheat, in which I think this community is rather more interested than corn, the average , price of wheat in Kansas for the four Democratic years was 49 cents pei bushel. At present it is over 92 cents j per bushel, and 1/ your present wheat crop had been sold at Democratic ! prices it would have left you $21,000, i 000 less than you have today, "For oats the Democratic price was 16 cents; for barley. 22 cents, and for potatoes, 27 cents, and for hay, $2.70 a ton. The Republican prices gave to the farmers of Kansas for the crop of oats, barley, potatoes and hay in I'JO7 over $18,000,000 in excess of what they would have received if they had sold | those crops at the Democratic prices which prevailed all over Kansas in lS9ti. after the Democrats had run the government for four years. Tariff Helped Farmer. "You have Increased the value of your horses over what you had in 1896 from about $1«,000,000 to $96,000,- ( 000 "The same is true of other stock. "Of course the argument is that this was not due to Democratic rule but as a matter of fact, in Harrison » administration you had no such prices You had them in Cleveland's adminis tration, after the Gorman-Wilson tariff bill, and Just as soon as the Republi cans came in again and passed the ' Dingley bill, the prices began to rise you had a good market and you hav« been prosperous ever since. "I ask in heaven's name how sensi ble people can take the power out ol ths hands of the party that has made such prosperity possible and put it it the hands of a party whose record if what 1 have given." Pennsylvania farmers are keenly in > terested in this tariff agitation The : tobacco growers of Lancaster county all appreciate the fact that without j the protection which two repreaenta tlv.es la the United States senate sive them in that bruiy and o large majority oJ Republican representatives ic ih house command, they would be sen uusly handicapped. The iron, coal, manufacturing and I other important Interests of the Key stone state would be similarly affected by any serious disturbance of preseo tariff conditions All admit that there, must b« tar!" revision, but Pennsylvanians doman that this service shall be done by Us i publican protectionists—not Demo tratlc free ti aders.
