TARIFF MACE STATE WEALTHY Taft and Sherman Stand For Protec tion, and Their Triumphant Election Will Insure a Period of Unprece dented Prosperity and a Continu ance cf Roosevelt's Patriotic Ameri can Administration of the National Government. | Special Correspondence.] Harrisburg, Sept. 15. j "Never swap horses while crossing a stream." This trite and homely ad monition of "Old Abe" Lincoln will bo followed by the voters of Pennsylva- [ nia at the coming election, when they j will roll up a tremendous majority for i the party of protection and prosperity. Reports from every county in the commonwealth show that the great | body of Pennsylvanians. the farmers, j the merchants and the wage earners i in all the big industrial centers are determined to vote for Taft and Sher- j man and indorse the platform of the Republican party. Bryan is making tariff reduction, | which to the Democrats means their old slogan of free trade, the para mount issue of his campaign. In doing that he is striking directly at Pennsylvania, at Pennsylvania la bor, at Pennsylvania capital and at Pennsylvania's vast natural resources, her coal, her iron, her cement and her various other interests. No Free Trade For Pennsylvania. The Keystone state has acquired her enviable position as the most prosperous and wealthiest state in the Union under the Republican party's administration of state and national affairs, and to no other policy does she owe more than to that of the protec tive tariff. The present onslaught of Bryanism upon the tariff has aroused a feeling of indignation and alarm in every quarter of this state. Just as confidence is being restored, as orders for manufactured products are coming in and mills are starting up. coke ovens and blast furnaces are being lighted and the textile and all manner of industrial establishments are resuming operations, after a tem porary cessation, along comes Bryan with his tirades against the protective tariff. He is serving notice upon capi tal and labor alike that in the event , of his election revolutionary tactics may be looked for to the inevitable destruction of the interests of the wage earner and the manufacturer, to the granger, the dairyman, the mine worker and all classes of citizens of this state whose happiness and liveli hood depend upon the administration of the national government under safe and sane and well established policies. Taft's Nomination Brought Confidence. No reasonable man has attempted to charge to the Republican party re sponsibility for the recent disturb ance in business and momentary halt in the march of progress. But every one who stops to consider the revival of confidence, the resump tion of commercial and industrial ac tivities and the universal predictions of a renewal of good times, cannot but attribute these conditions to the popu lar belief that the election of Taft and Sherman and the continuance of the Republican party in control of the federal government means an assur ance of national prosperity. To Promote American Patriotism. The patriotism and sturdy Ameri canism of the administration of Theo dore Roosevelt, all know, will be ac centuated with Judge William Howard Taft in the White House, and the prestige that has been added to "Old Glory" by the vigorous Rooseveltian policies will never be detracted from by any act of the distinguished son of Ohio who is now the Republican standard-bearer. The vital coucern which every Penn svlvar.ian must have in the present campaign was emphasized by United States Senator Boies Penrose in his recent speech before the Republicans of Lehigh county, when he made the tariff the principal feature of his ad dress. Penrose On the Tariff. Senator Penrose, among other things, said: "This is pre-eminently an ag;- the world over of commercial, industrial and agricultural development. The United States leads in all these forms of activity. We are today admittedly the leading nation of the world, and our progress in the past and the pros pect of development in the future are beyond precedent in the history of civ ilization. "We want an assurance of prosper ity. of a continuation of our commer cial and industrial development at home and of our trade expansion in the markets of the world. The his tory of the United States shows clear ly that prosperity has always attended ! upon a protective tariff. "The American people cannot fail 1 to recall vividly the immediate past. I There has always been a relation of j protective tariffs to prosperity and of j great financial depressions to low tar- ( iffs. The long period of depression j which followed the return to low tariff I immediately succeeding Mr. Blaine's i "An aggregation of experimental malcontents aud theorists," Mr. Sher man's description of the Democratic party, is a phrase that hits the target richt in the center.

Congressman Gurke Says Office of President Is Infinitely More Powerful Than Congress. Congressman James Francis Burke of Pittsburg in an address on"The Powers of the President" says: "The American people can make no greater mistake than to elect Mr. Bry an on the assumption that he can do no harm in the face of au adverse sen ate. As between the executive and legislative departments of the govern ment, the former has infinitely greater power to rule and ruin than tlie latter. "Mr. Tuft and Mr. wholly different types of men. Each pos sesses a strong individual character, which would certainly assert Itself in the White House. What either of these men would do during a four years' term In the White House is causing as much anxiety among thoughtful Americans as the mere matter of the election alone. "As a disturber of moneys the pres ident is without a rival in the world. Through the agencies under his con trol he will this year disburse a billion dollars, showing the great tilings we are doing in adding to the unparalleled list of the world's achievements. "In view of the fact that during the fifteen years of Bryan leadership the states controlled by his party have de creased from 23 to 12, the number of senators from 48 to 31, the number of representatives in congress from 220 to 104 and iu that time the Democratic party was In control of the ground, whereas it Is now, as a consequence of his teachings, a hopelessly hetero geneous mass of Populistlc elements, the American people can see little pros pects of a constructive policy If Mr. Bryan should succeed." Union Labor Vote. Hon. William 11. Buchanan is one of the leading union men of western New York and In 1907 was the Democratic candidate for assemblyman In Chau tauqua county. This Is what he has to say of the effort of Mr. tJompers to turn the labor vote over to Mr. Bryan: "1 am a union labor man, and I want to say further that no man can carry the labor vote into the Democratic camp. I know how union labor men feel In this city, and three-fourths of them will stand by the Republican party because only In that way have they the assurance of freedom from the business disturbance that Mr. Bry an promises for at least four years if he can be elected. We workingmen can't earn wages if statesmen are put in office to disturb business and make trouble." Campaign Funds. "We welcome Mr. Taft to this ad vanced ground," said Mr. Bryan in one of his numerous interviews since the Denver convention. The ground refer red to is Mr. Taft's statement that no campaign contributions would be re ceived from corporations. Mr. Bryan intended to convey the impression that Mr. Taft had come to that determina tion after the Denver convention, in that the Democratic "peerless one" is not honest. Mr. Taft is a law abiding citizen. Such contributions are unlaw ful, made so by a law passed by a Re publican congress at the instance of a Republican administration of which Judge Taft was a part six months be fore the Denver convention.

The kind lieartedness of Mr. Taft unci liis sincere, cotmuon 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 Ihe Washing ton monument, where thousands goto 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 States to rise above conditions of de pendence by becoming self sustaining, placed on sale souvenir post cards manufactured by its bllud. Some sen timental persons took the view that this was undignified and succeeded in having the superintendent of public buildings and grounds order the cards removed. P. E. Cleaveland, principal of the institute, appealed to Mr. Taft, then secretary of war and within whose Jurisdiction came tlie office of public buildings and grounds. It took only a few words to convince the sec retary that the blind should have the benefit of this privilege, anil the cards were again placed on sale in the mon ument. "For this action," said Principal Cleaveland in discussing the incident, "Sir. Taft deserves the gratitude of every Wind person, particularly the progressive blind, who are striving to help their less fortunate fellows." The Word "Ogre." Old fashioned etymologists used to say that the word "ogre" commemorat ed the sufferings of Europe during the ninth and tenth centuries at the hands of the ravaging "Olgours," or Huns. This derivation, however, is now aban doned. "Ogre," which reached the French language by way of Italian and Spanish, is really Orcus, the Latirt hell, nfterward the god of the underworld. In Romanesque folklore this god be came a shaggy, black, man devouring monster, with a particular taste for lost babes in the wood. Bad Symptoms.
