THE CITIZEN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1912.
TAFT IS SATISFIED
WITHTRENDTOHIM
Believes That National Pros
perity Will Keep Farmers
and Laborers In the
Republican Ranks.
QUACK REMEDIES REJECTED.
Higher Living Cost Blamed to Gold
Production Wage Muit D
Kept Up to Meet It.
Dnlton, Mass. President Taft Ismied
thu following ntntemont on tho presi
dential campaign:
"I have every reason to bo satisfied
with political eonditlonH. I have been
simply overwhelmed for day past with
letters and newspaper clippings show
ing the trend of tlio tide toward the
Republican party. Its platform and Its
candidates. I have been especially
Brntllled by the news from the north
western states. Chairman Illlles of the
Republican national committee, who
has been visiting the northwest, tells
me that reports from all parts of those
states bring most gratifying evidence
of Republican confidence nnd activity,
with earnest determination to achieve
the success of Republican principles
nnd candidates.
"The iHjpulatlon of the northwest Is
not surpassed anywhere in intelligence
nnd thrift and attachment to American
institutions. The farmers of that prt
of the Union were never so prosperous,
nnd they do not mean to risk the loss
of their prosperity by abandoning the
Republican party, whose policies have
enabled them to prosper. They aro
convinced that the third term candi
date is no longer in the running and
that the choice Is between the Repub
lican platform and candidates, on the
one hand, and, on the other hand, the
Democratic platform, with its planlc
of a tariff for revenue only, and Its
candidate, Governor AVllson, who sold
in nn address at Williams Grove, Pa.,
that the farmer does not need protec
tion. It Is unnecessary to explain to
the farmer went, east, north or on
the Pacific slope what Governor Wil
son's very frank declaration would
mean with Mr. Wilson in the White
Ilouse and a Democratic majority in
the capltol.
Prosperity In the Nation.
"The same news comes from all di
rections. A Baltimore trade paper,
which has been gathering the views
of manufacturers in all parts of the
United States, thus sums up the situ
ation: 'A rapid expansion in business
interests, increasing activity every
where, factories overtaxed with orders
beyond their capacity to All, a grow
ing scarcity of labor, especially of
skilled mechanics, a car shortage
which, In many cases, is greatly re
tarding shipments such la the condi
tion of business throughout the coun
try as voiced by leading manufactur
ers of every section.'
"The principal reason for the exist
ing prosperity Is the assurance that,
under the Republican policy of homo
protection and trade expansion, Amer
ican Industry, while reaching for tho
foreign market, is not In danger of
losing the home market. While our
foreign trade Is growing more rapidly
than at any time in our history, do
mestic commerce is making ndvances
fully as remarkable. Our population
Is increasing, tho demand for the
necessaries of life is increasing pro
portionately, and, thanks to active
business and good wnges, the people
are able to pay for what they want
nnd to keep our Industries busy sup
plying their wants; heuco general
nnd growing prosperity, with n cer
tainty of still lxtter times, provided
the machinery of our national activ
ities Is not disarranged and brought
to a standstill by undue reduction of
the tariff or anarchistic assaults upon
our Institutions and upon the har
monious relations now existing, as a
rule, between employer and employed.
"There Is no serious danger, I 1k
lievc, to our Institutions from Indus
trial agitations. So long as such agi
tation keeps within legal bounds It
Is not without wholesomo significance
nnd may tend to improve conditions.
When It passes beyond tho legal limit,
whether those self outlawed aro con
nected with capital or with lalor, it
Is n menace to bo dealt with by lawful
nuthorlty. Notwithstanding occasion
al outbreaks of vlolenco in labor dis
putes there Is n growing tendency to
sottlo differences by peaceful means,
nnd there Is undoubtedly manifest n
much more friendly and humane atti
tude on tho part of employers toward
employed thnn was npparent not many
years ago. Tho Golden Rulo Is get
ting to be more nnd more a guide in
business as well as In religion. Social
nnd economic conditions are growing
better, not worse, nnd Republican
policies, fostering and stimulating nn
tlonnl prosperity, undoubtedly tend to
ward this betterment.
"For tho man or the community en
joying robust health quack remedies
have little attraction, no mattor how
vociferously recommendod as euro-nils
for the body politic. Tho low of sup
ply nnd demand, nlonj; with labor or
ganization and arbitration, nnd such
legislation ns mny properly be en
nctcd governing hours of lnbor nnd
rates of compciiMitlnii In tho public
service, thereby gl. In,; an exnmplo
for private umplo.uv. are adequate
to deal with tin vngc question. A
general minimum wage should havo
a tendency to bring down the maxi
mum to the minimum. Labor organ
izations nru well nware of this result
where an arrangement to that effect
has been entered into with employers.
Ilowovcr, ns I have said, the Ameri
can people are In no need of quack
nostrums nnd too busy to listen to
their venders.
"Tho higher cost of living, as I
havo said before. Is worldwide. Tb
aim of tho Republican party n to
see that American workers nrc en
nbled to meet tho cost of living by
keeping employed nt good wnges. It
is a simple purpose and ns direct nnd
practical ns It Is simple nnd doea
not need a volume of rhetoric to ex
plain It or cot nrouud It. While the
cost of living, so fnr ns most of the
necessaries of life are concerned, Is
not so high here ns In Europe, the
wngo enrnor here Is getting more
than double to nx nnd seven times
Hid rftpnn linld in T-'llrnim nml 1 tn
thnt proportion better able to meet '
nny Increase In the cost of living.
"I nm pleased to note that former j
Governor Doughs of Massachusetts, nn
earnest nnd most estimable member of
the Democratic party, refused to bo
enrried awny in tho current idle rea
sons for the 'high cost of living. He
attributes It chiefly to the Increased
nnnunl product of gold to ?o00,000,000
from about one-fourth thnt amount
twenty yenrs ngo, nnd he expects that
ns long ns tho present output of goM
continues, with no change In tho weight
of gold coins, prices will linve n tenden
cy to mount higher. Obviously, the
Democratic pnrt.v nnd Governor Wil
son, with such conditions fnclng us,
could not select a worse time for pro
posing to the American worker as in
effect they do propose, by urging a re
duction of the tariff to consent to low
er wages, with n view to more open
competition with lnbor abroad. Wages
must bo kept up, and the way to keep
them up is to keep the tariff protective,
and not 'for revenue only.'
"I propo' " In dealing with the trust
question to keep tho groat combinations
of capital within exactly tho same con
trol as the city or crossroads grocery
pays a federnl license for selling cigars.
I mean that both shall obey tho law.
That's all. Simple, is it not? The
Sherman lnw has been and will contin
ue to be enforced against all violators,
however rich and powerful they may
be."
After Them Both Ways.
CHEAP MONEY FOR FARMERS.
President Taft Invites Governors of
All the States to a Conference to
Consider His Plan For Reducing
the Cost of Food Production,
Beverly, Mass. Radical state nnd
federal legislation to bring the Amer
ican farmer cheap money at better
terms nnd to reduce tho cost of living
to tho consumer by reducing the cost
of production to the farmer was urged
by President Taft in a letter sent Fri
day to the governors of all the states
Inviting them to n conference in Wash
ington upon this subject
According to President Taft, the
plan which ho advocates "offers a
means to secure to this country great
er productivity, nt less cost, from tho
farms that are now under cultivation,
nnd, nbove all, to give us more farms
and more farmers. It will make it
profltnblo for the farmer to return to
the cultivation of tho abandoned farm
lands of the east and to open up tho
vast areas of untitled land in tho west
This offers tho consumer relief from
the Increasing cost of foodstuffs."
To do this President Taft would
have established, in tho interest of tho
American farmer, a financial machine
based upon the co-operative prlnciplo
employed In nearly every country of
Europe. Tho schemo, says Mr. Taft,
has been tested In Europe "through all
the changing conditions of a century,"
and the results can bo seen in the fact
that today tlio American farmer, be
sides his payments In commissions
and renewals, pays an average of SV4
per cent for his money as compared
with the 3V4 or -VA per cent paid by
the farmers of Franco or Germany.

"On the 4th day of

Extract from statement
of Mr. Roosevelt, dated

one-half years constitutes

DR. CARREL, WINNER

According to announcement from
Stockholm, tho Nobel prize for medi
cine has been awarded this year to

him to pursue his researches in tbo
Rockefeller institute.
In an nddress before the American
Philosophical society at Philadelphia,
in NoTomber, 1008, Dr. Carrel nrousetf
much interest in scientific circles by
announcing thnt he had Interchanged
the main artery and tho Jugular vein
of a man with no deleterious results.
As a climax ho told of having grafted
the leg of a dend fox terrier on to the
body of a living animal of the same
variety.
In June of this year n warm contro
versy was started among lending sci
entists In Pnris by Dr. Carrel's asser
tion that bo had kept portions of ani
mals hearts alivo for months while
immersed In a special antiseptic solu
tion and that theso portions after a
short Ume surrounded themselves with
now cells and grew to more than sixty
times their original size.
