A Masterly Presentation. npV IIK THANKS of our citizens are certainly due to Hon. -L Clmrles Emory Smith for the masterly presentation of Re publican doctrine made, by him last evening. It was in the Iilfthest dejrreo rducational and tln manner or its de liverance effectually refutes the fale notion that genuine American oratory has Rone into decline, From iey:iiitiiijr to end the speech, which we report, elsewhere In full, was n unanswerable argument for con tinued Republican supremacy, reinforc ed by facts and fiprures of Republican achievement calculated to appeal to every thinking citizen's pride of coun try. It did not once descend to the level of bombast or buffoonery but was an eloquent and straitfhtforword nar rative by one who liad a lnrge part in and a, thorough official ItnowlcdRe of icvery great policy involved. Contrasted with such an exalted and hopeful review, how cheap do the dem agogue and defamatory outgivings of the opposition appear! Where they see jiothing but shortcomings and mistakes and find no inspiration except forfault linding and abuse, his enlightened vision comprehends the large sweep or progressive government that, keep ing pace with the forward march of the American people in industry, com merce, education and prosperity, exacts continually new levels of broad na tional achievement and heads the pro cession of. the world's advancement. It is good to hear a man of his call lire. Jt re-energizes all the currents ot healthy Americanism. Give the common scolds of the De mocracy, the vlliliiii's and detainers, a good ducking next Tuesday, They need it. Connal! and the Ripper. LUT US be frank about the rip per bill. All but one clause is admittedly lirst-class: one of the best fiameworks of rlly government that tho constructive statesmanship of this country lias yet evolved. This is conceded by eminent stuthoritles on municipal affairs, and il 1s proved by the way the ripper has worked in this city during the term of the present recorder. One clause alone was vicious, it ex tended unnecessarily tho term of the fcliedtile, making tho appointee of the governor serve until the second public, election. Had either of two tilings been Mibstituted, complaint would have been stilled. Had the bill gone into effect at a future date, enabling the people to elect the installing iccordcr; or, had tho governor been given power to appoint only until the next ensuing municipal clcclioji, instead of the clamor which litis followed Its enactment them would Iiiivp Ijeen general approval. Quo of the. leaders of tho Republican r party who went -o liiinisburg iiudiin tho pres ence tff the governor, the two United StntesysenatoiH, the stale chairman and tho lcudor in Philadelphia, air, Durham, denounced tl- iwo-yer, schedule In langw(go so yigonjus tlia't its tones penetrated out tVwhflTe tho newspaper repres'e.ntatjvns were,, gathered, , was Villlnjii Council. Ho uutllluil these men that if they paused the bill with tho two-year feature in it they would ail live tp regret it, and the subsequent disturbance In Allegheny- proved Mr, Council a true, prophet, Thiswarning at'tho time fell on itetif cars, t was decided- to- pass tlm bill nml tile, voten were in control to do t. Then It was, niiuifet uutll'then, Hint AVllllaii Council, taking a practical view or the situation, decided that If he could get amendments in the bill whlehtwould niako it, a better measure for HilYanton'fi ne?iVlio' would do to, leaving to others the respoYsibllity for the objectionable, bdiedule. ifo was miccespful In this, purpose, ilo secured the adoption 'of'lW amendments pro posed'aud demanded by tho tpecial committee of Sci'nn)prt,uicltiTiMi ami, to the-fullest limit of his power, safe guarded this city's iiitei-e.itS.: Not con tent with thaMijsecuiwtfu .appoint ment Vy the governor of the elected inasWitM the iirst recorder, r(egurdles3 ft the fact that this gentleman' "was then and tind long been facdonally hos tile. Later, when this recorder used tils power to rip out subordinates friendly to Mr. Council, the temptation to rip In retaliation was resisted and his resignation awaited, The course lit llhe ully government since tlin Instal lation of the present tecorder speaks for Itself, Never heroic have the city affairs been so eflleleiitly adnilnlstetrd or Willi smaller friction or public com plaint, These tire the facts concerning Wlll Inln Council and the ripper. They are fully known to Intelligent people nnd approved by them. Lynelt's nnarchls tie appeals to the prejudice nnd passion of the ignorant by gross untruths about this matter must disgust the belter of Ills own leaders and evoke fitting re. buke on Tuesday, U you would sustain Roosevelt, vole for Council. The National Issue. (Heeretary Root, In New York City.) T 11IJ NATIONAL Issue of this political campaign, In Its nio-ii Important und uriirj- tlc'nl aspect, Is whether Presi dent Roosevelt slulll be sustained In bis administration of the national govern ment. Will the people of the United Htates elect a House of Representatives with a Republican majority to work In har mony with the president and with che Republican majority of the senate, so thai hi! may go on as he has begun, with an effective government, working out practically the plans for improving administration and for the remedy or evils along the lines upon which the legislative and executive branches agree; or will the people elect a house with a Democratic majority which will be hostile to the president, will mil agree with hlni-upon any course of con duct, and will hinder and embarrass him in all his efforts for the public good during the remainder of his pres ent term of office'.' There ought to be no uncertain or faint answer to the question. If the people I eel toward the president as they did when they gave the electoral vote to him for vice-president in WuO, they will answer. Still more, if .they think better of him now than they did then, as I believe they do; if they think he has made a good president, as I believe they do; if they are proud of him, as I think they are proud of his manly and noble qualities, his courage, his frank ness, his freedom from guile and double dealing, the genuineness of his repub lican simplicity, the sincerity of his love of country and of his countrymen, the rugged strength of his character, the exceptional power of his trained In telligence, the wise thoiightfulness and boldness with which he is grappling problems of government when smaller and selfishly politic men would tem porize then the people will do their duty by him as he is doing his duty by them, and will send Representatives to Congress at the coming election who will stand by him and work with him for the good of the country. This is a patriotic duty in every con gressional district of the United States. Don't croak. Oct in the sunshine. Join the inarch to victory of tiie party or prosperity. m Democracy and the Strike. YOU DOURTLUSS noticed that Candidate Paulson, Candi date Howell and the rest of the procession of kickers who held forth at the Lyceum Thurs day night tried very hard to obscure the part which the Republican ad ministration at Washington took in settling the coal strike.If they had spoken what was in their hearts, they would undoubtedly have criticized that phase or progressive Republicanism ns they criticize about everything else that the Republican party has ever done toward the upbuilding of prosperity in this country. They had based high hopes on' the strike. It was the chief scaffolding of their expectations of success at the polls. They were preparing great ap peals to discontent and accumulating materials for a grand stand calamity howl, when, suddenly, tu their dismay, the scaffolding broke and they were thrown to the ground, and almost jarred senseless. They have not yet fully recovered. It is clear from their speeches that they are still befuddled and Incoherent. The one thing they seem to be agreed upon Is that they must try to minimize the part that lending Republicans took in effecting the settlement. Though they did noth ing themselves In contributing to a peaceful adjustment of the great Indus trial struggle, they are iii.stluotlvoly quick to try to dim the laurels of those who did. Rut don't imagine that the mine workers are foolud by their chaff. Neither Paulson's sophistry and long rehearsed arraignment of. Republican ism In state affairs nor tho ilapdoodle unties of Lyuott's auarehlft Times blinds their eyes to the fact that it was Republican statesmanship and courage which brought about the con cession of arbitration by the operators and called Into being the splendid tri bunal now at work on the problems at Issue, The last Democrat who sat in the president's yhair sent federal troops to Chicago to break a strike of rail way employes, disregarding the protest of the governor of Illinois and the mayor of Chicago. Rut President Roosevelt sends an arbitration com mission Into the coal llelds, and labor ing men cannot doubt which Is the friendlier or more humane plan. Udllle .Imnes dltl well his l)rst term.

WHAT DDKS tin propose to do, United States DDKS the Democratic parly it tin. people of the itcs put the power into their hands, to remedy the Indus trial evils and annoyances which have came along with our gieat prosperity'.' They have made two proposals. Tho first Is, to revise thu titiiff. It is easy to say that the tariff Metils revising. In the nature of things time must call for changes in every tariff law, because ll is a Used .statute applied from day to day to constantly changing condi tions. The purpose of the law itself is to change conditions by improving them, and it is impossible that such a statuo should continue any considerable period without our Hading rates of duties which may well be changed, tint in considering tiie making of such changes it is impor tant to keep two tilings In mind: First That if a tarilf law bus, on the whole worked well, ami 11 business lias prospered under it and Is piospering, it is better to endure some slight inconveni ences and inequalities for a time than to incur the uncertainly and disturbance of business which necessarily lesults irom the process of making changes. The mere fact that a different rale of duty would be better tliyu the rate lixed In the stat ute, docs not settle the question whether tiie change should be made now or should be deferred. Rvory tariff deals with du ties on :i vast number of articles and In volves a vast number of interests, often conllietlng, and whenever the law. Is taken up by congress for consideration with reference to one change, every schedule In the law Is going to Had some one urg ing a change ill that schedule; and all the business interests of- tho country are Koing to be left dmlng a long conllnniil discussion In a state of uncertainty as to what will be the outcome of duties upon the things they are producing, and there fore in uncertainty as to what compe tition from abroad they will be obliged to meet. The second thing to bo kept in mind is that If the consideration of all tho ques tions thus reopened is at the hands of a party in power which Is avowedly hostile to the pi-UK-lpIo of protection, the uncer tainty incident to the discussion will bo accompanied by loss of conllilenc-o ar.il fear of the results. Apprehension of prob able but unknown competition and reduc tion of the prices which can bo obtained for the products of Industry will inevit ably lend manufacturers and producers generally to stop risking more money, wtlh the probability of loss, and to con tract their operations nnd reduce their product. Mills will bo closed and work men thrown out of employment. If this were to happen, as over St per cent, of the raw material of inuuiifuctiiro aro now supplied by agriculture, the con traction of nianiifaetiuo would leavo iho farmers without a market for their pro duce, and the farmers, not selling that themselves could not buy the products of iiianufaetiun; tho men thrown out of em ployment could not buy, and so further contraction would take plneo and tho whole fabric of our buslnes prosperity would como tumbling down, That is why, when the till 111 Is to bo revised, it should be revised by its friends, so that tho pec pin whoso Interests are to be affected may go on with their business with n Just and confident assurance that while outgrown or erroneous provisions aro to lie ccr lecli'd, they aro not to bo depilvcd of rea sonable and fair protection. Now what does the Democratic party propir-n',' Does It say "Wo assent to tho principle of piotectlon and wo ask tho people of tho United States to commit to our liuuds the revision of tho tnili'L' In conformity to that principle',"' .'nr from It. They avow their iiurepoiitlng hostility to tho principle of protection and ask that the people of the country put la their hands tho revision of tho tariff in older that they may revise tho protection out of It and repeat tho' experiment of Mr, (.'lowland's second administration, which, nccordhig to Mr. (lompeis, president of the American Fodorntloo of Labor, pin three million American worklnguicu to walking tho streets, without work and without bread for their families. It Is not a revision o fthn protective tariff but the de-slriu-llon of tho prntcctlvu tariff upon which tin people aro to pass in voting for members of congress next Tuesday, and with that destruction would disap pear, necessarily tho conditions of our present prosperity. II may bo that sonic time or oilier wo may have another po. rlod of piospctliy under soiuo other kind of law; but tio prospeilty wo havo to. day is under tho protective tin lit". You sweep Unit away and this peilod of pros peilty ends. The sp.eclili: ground upon which thu Democratic party now says that ll should be permitted to revise the tariff Is that the tariff protects tlm trusts. Obsorvo that tlu-ydonot proposn to coullno them selves lo cutting off tho duties upon the articles made by the trusts, but their iem. edy Is to destroy tho prolcciion of all American products and destroy tho trusts by dragging them down in the general ruin. Hut consider their proposition re garding Iho trusts by themselves. Tho nuniiifai'tuilng trusts are protected by the tuilff In, common with ull other producers of blmllar articles, and the census of 1:ju In the events io tho war. 4MMlM'-M-'t'r'4 IAN OPEN LETTER I FROM A WAGE-EARNER J'o My i'Vllou' Wage-earners! The question for us to ponder and decide before voting Is which liolltlcal parly Is tho wage-earners' real friend Republican or DeniocratloV 1 have studied the subject closely and am sntlslled that the Repub lican party Is best entitled to our support. AVhyV llecituse all the feil jral and slate labor legislation or moment 1ms been put through by Republican United States senators, congressmen, state senators nnd ns 'eiublynicn and most ot It In the face of united and strenuous Demo- iM'atlc opposition on the lloors of the senates and houses and In .Mrded Democratic, votes, First let us compare notes regarding the labor legislation vnrloiis states Tile measures of importance are: Labor bureaus Factory Inspection service Might hour law Child labor In factories Child labor In mines Woman labor Heals for females In shops .j, Sweat shop legislation .j. Truck system .;. t'ouvlct made goods : These figures represent Aleasures of labor relief granted by " ' " Democrats Ks times .ir In other word.-', nearly three times as much Republican state labor legislation as there Is Democratic. Does not tills showing call upon us to vote for Republican senators and assemblymen? Now let us call the roll of federal Republican measures of labor re- lief anil lubor protection. First and chief the abolition or slavery by which act the cause of labor, white, as well as black, was exalted. This was accomplished by the Republican party at the cost of thousands of millions or dollars and rivers of the blood of our best and bravest, and In face of most violent opposition by the Democrats and their allies. The Cooley trade, anil Peonage abolished. Putting an end to the iniquitous system under which a laborer's body and work could be held in pledge for debt. Inspection or steam vessels, protecting the lives and limbs of the wot Iters employed thereon, as well as the passengers. The protection of seamen. Who will dare say that "those who go down to the sea in ships" those who go, not for their own pleas ure hut Tor our pleasure and our profit should not receive the fullest protection possible at our hands'.' Abrogation of the involuntary servitude of foreigners putting an end to the fo in Free America of the infamous Padrone nnd similar systems of enslaved Kurope. Then the well known alien contract labor prohibition. "What would lie your position todas', fellow wage-earners, were it still possible for labor contractors to go to other pnrls of the world and bring to our shores gang after gang of the inferior, cheaper, pauper labor ot other countries? Would you then be able to put money In the savings bank, either on deposit or in the form of life insurance for tho benefit of your wives and dear ones or to feed, clothe and educate your family In the way Americans deserve? AVlio gave you this grand protection? The Republican party, and the Republican party alone, This records of con gress show that each and every vote cast against the measure was Dem ocratic. I say this deliberately. Next the Republican party gave you the law incorporating National Trades Unions; then lilt; act granting pay for holidays to government em ployes, followed by the statute prohibiting the United States convicts C'ontvncl labor system again to this measure every opposition vote was Democratic. Next on the lisl is the "lioards of Arbitration Act." Thirty votes were given against this and every one of them was Democratic. The next measure was passed by U?publieans for the beneilt of that most useful body of public servants the Letter Carriers those faithful men who plod our streets In nil weathers, carrying heavy loads, and bringing to us tli letters for which wo so longingly wait the letters from our absent dear ones. This law very properly limits their hours of loll to eight hours daily. Were any votes cast against It? Yes, and every one of them Democratic. t Tho last on the list of federal laws for the benefit of labor Is that one $ fronting the present most useful and reliable department of labor, presid- ed over by that tried friend of all labor, the Hon. Carroll D. Wright. Was there opposition to Its passage? Yes. vigorous opposition by voice ? mil vote, and every yolce and every vote raised in opposition was Demo ! era tic. '''his. then, being the Republican record or labor legislation, I appeal to you in the interest of that fearless friend of labor, President Roose- volt, in the interest or all labor, in the Interest of your wives and fam S illes, in your own interest and mine, to vote for all the names on the Republican state, city and county tickets.

If the duties which protect trust-made articles aro uureusomihly high, tlu-n they ought lo be reduced as to all the pro ducers without any reference to the ques tion whether they are made by Iho trusts or not, and if the duties are reduced as to any of tho producers they must bo as to all. Von do not hurt tho (rusts bv such i eduction unless you make the reduction so great that it will become unprofit able to iiianut'aeluro the articles In this country. If that Is done you can kill the trusts; you can close their mills; you can turn their laborers out of employ ment, but you close the mills also of all other producers of similar articles, and you substitute for domestic production of the articles the Importation of for eign articles. As tiie piovlsions of foreign articles is In a very great measure controlled by trusts, you substitute a foreign trust for an American trust. on abandon tin; rem. edy of American conipetiliou ami substi tute, for It a foreign monopoly.
