CLEVELAND'S TRI CUTE TC TAFT. Probably no higher tribute ha3 b?en paid to the Republican candidate for president than that of G rover Cleveland In an article written a short time before his death. In part he said: "There Is a tezr on my part of being misunderstood In what I am about to say, but surely the fair-mlmied man must realize when be considers my attitude toward my own party, all nor A matter of Immutable record, that It is prompted by a sense of simple fairness. Personally and officially I have had tha opportunity of knowing many things concerning Mr. Taft that were not a matter of general knowledge, and his large share in the conduct of our national affairs in very recent years. Ills excellence as a federal Judge in Cincinnati is something not to be underestimated or overemphasized, for should he come to the presidential chair the quajities which made him a Judge of high ability, which I know him to have been, will bf the most 'needful to hhn as prtshb-nt of the United States. His high Idoals of honesty and of relative justice, his grrat capacity for Kever labor, and, his humorous wisdom In the face of thf ?' ous problems are attributes equally raluable and commendatory to a people seeking him In whom they may repose the trust of their collective in terests while they turn their Increased attention to their pressing individual demands."

BEVERIDGE ON TAFT Indiana Senator and Governor Hughes of New York Open the Ohio Campaign With Rousing Note.

tRYAN THE DREAMER, TAFT THE DOER. Younastown is the Scene of an Enthusiastic Meeting, Full cf Political Fcrvor Marching Clubs and Delegations From Other States Present. Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. 5. The Republican national campaign in Ohio was opened with great enthusiasm here this afternoon. A great parade preceded the meeting. It is estimated that 10.000 men were in line. Delegations and marching clubs were present from several cities in Ohio as well a3 som from Pennsylvania and New York. Senator Beveridge was met at Pittsburg by a marching club and del tgatlon which escorted him to Youngstown. Arthu- I. Vorys presided, and notable speeches were made by Governor Charles H. Hughes and Senator Beveridge. Bryan the dreamer; Taft the doer, was the theme of the senator's tribute to the Republican nominee. He spoke as follows: We are m'dway in an historic movement for righteousness written into law. Shall that movement be earned out, or wrecked? Its concrete expression is the Roosevelt policies. Shall thev be saved or lost? Had the aboutfacers in both parties who now are powerless, succeeded, they could not have wreck 'd the movement, but only have delayed it. For the people would have gathered headway again until their purpore was worked out. Rut extravagant schemes and emo tlonal agitators can wreck it. The Revolution would have failed had im practicable men been in command in stead of the cautious and wise, yet daring and determined Washington. Many a cause has gone down at the hands of hot-headed and eccentric friends. And so today, in the American people's mighty moral advance, thus far successfully led by Theodore Roosevelt, the gravest question is whether we shall place our commander's standard in the hands of his most trusted captain, who will lead us safely and surely along the well-marked course we are following, or in the hands of those who will lead us on zig-za? marches after rash adeentures until the whole movement dissolves in the people's disgust and the world's ridicule. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Seven years ago we started upon the great work of modern and humane legislation that has made the Roosevelt period historic. In those years wo passed the railroad rate bill, which for the first time in American history asserts the principle that the government of all the people can and will regulate those who carry the products of all the people. We passed the meat Inspection and pure food laws, which ended the sale of poisoned foods and adulterated drugs; the irrigation law, wh'ch is making fertile the arid Vst and will build within our own continental boundaries a uew empire of productive wealth. x In these seven years we have enacted more important laws for the safety, comfort and welfare öf labor than in any two decades since' the government was founded. We passed the employers' liability law, which revolutionized the heartless rule of the common law and gives the railroad laborer or hl3 family compensation for his injury or death; thy law forbidding railways from requiring employes to work an Inhuman number of hours without rest; the safety app'iance act, which not only lessens the danger to life and limb of employes, but which Increases the safety of the traveling public. We passed the Chinese exclusion act, which keeps coolie labor out of the republic and diminishes the number of coolies already here. We passed the government employes' liability law, by which every man who works for the government is certain of compensation for injury or his family for his death while in the government's employ. Bryan Never Thought of These Laws. All these are Republican lawsi. Each of them is a part of that plan of statesmanship which seeks to write conscience and humanity upon our statute books. Each of them was opposed secretly or openly by both Democrats and Republicans; each of them received both Republican and. Democratic votes. Hut each of them wa urged by a Republicaa president, originated by Republican statesmen, and some of them were not even thought of outside the Republican party. For example, even Mr. Tlryfcn never dreamed of the meat inspection and pure food laws, yet that law means more to the health of the American people thaii all the curious devices he ever proposed. A Brick at a Time. In these seven historic years we have also advanced the America? harne throughout the world, increastd toward us the good will of nations and added to our lasting power in international affairs. At home and abroad our work already done has been so vast that the worldspeaks of it with praise and wonder; but we are midway in that work, and the question is whether w.j shall go on until we finish It. Mr. Bryan complains that it Is not finished now. Hut a brick at a time is the way to build a house. Would you trust an architect who promised to build it in the wink of an eye? The intantaneous statesman writes no sound laws, works no lasting reform. Alad din rears neue but imaginary palace3 The Tariff. Of the work that remains, the first Is to revise the tariff. The tariff we shall make will protect American industries, and also open foreign markets to American products. A straight out revenue tnrlJT is ancient; a single protective tariff Is out of date we Republicans propose to keep up with the times. As a straight out revenue tarilf gives everything away to foreign nations and gets nothing in return, so a straight out rrotective tariff pives nothing away and gets nothing In return. The modern tariff Is a maximum and minimum tariff a hlqh tariff to be applied to any nation that will not give us advantages In its markets, and a lower tariff, still protective, to be granted to any nation that will give u? advantages in lt3 markets. The Republican idea is to meet other commercial nations with their own weapons. By such a tariff Oermany. considering her comparative resources and Situation, in a dozen years has increased her foeigntrade moj-e rapidly than

a"y o;:er n-UUn. ? .:.- method Franco has kept her mill open, her shops active, hrr trade . vigorous in spite of causes that worked against her commercial progress. That man or natioir has begun to dio v.-ho refuses to learn; and just as the French and Germans and other commercial peoples learned' the wisdom" of a single protective tariff from us. so we must learn the advantages of a double protective tariff from them. Such a tariff will sell abroad many head of live stock, barrels of flour, manufactured articles, where one now Is sold. This Increase in trade means nw employment for the laborers, new markets for the farmer. A Tariff Commission. Nor will we stop there. RepublicanIsm means advance. Tens of thousand of American citizens are demanding a tariff commission. The great organized producing interests manufacturers, farmers, stock-raisers have pe

titToned congress for this commonuense method of handling this intricate question, p.s Germany4, France, Japan and other aggressive twentieth-century nations are handling their tariff question. Yet the only hope for a tariff commission is in the Republican party. When the tariff commission Idea was advanced. Mr. Brjan opposed It in forninl printed debate. - When a tariff commission bill was introduced In congress, every Democrat was hostile to It. A tariff commission has not a single frlnd among Democratic public men. Certain Republican public men are aininst it. too; but its ofily friends are Republicans. A Democratis vote Is a certain vote against a tariff commission. A Republican vote Is a possible vote for this business-like reform. The Real Labor Question. Every labor law wo have passed and will pass is a part of that web of Industrial questions which we call the labor problem. But. after all, the fundementa! labor problem is the problem of employment and pay. Work and wages are the foundations of labor's well being, without which all labor legislation is the giving of a stone Instead of bread. More American worklngmen own their own homes (and those . homes have more comforts) than the worklngmen of England, Germany, Japan, France combined. Had any political economist been told twenty five years ago that carpenters, miners and steel workers ever would be paid the American wages of the present day, be" would have scoffed. All this has come during Republican administrations. Ve planlö continue and increase- it. The maximum and minimum tariff which we will enact will enlarge the markets for American products, as Germany In the same way has enlarged the markets for her products. Markets mean Industries to supply them: Industries mean demand for, labor; 'demand for labor means high wages. - v Recovery From the Panic. We are quickly recovering from the briefest panic in our history. Let worklngmen contrast that panic with the one that occurred under the last Democratic administration and then answ r this question for themselves: Will the election of Mr. Bryan or Mr. Taft test help the rapidly improving business of the cjuntry? And remember tlmt ac'ive business means wallpaid employnvnt. Thai Mr. Rryan and the opposition would make business practically itufmssible Is j. roved by their national franchise plr". They propose that every enterprise big enough to do business in inoiv than one state shall se-. euro a national license, which can be granted or withdrawn by any administration. But no business can succeed without certainty; no. business man couli afford to Invest ii dollar when he ktrew that his very right to do business at all might be taken away by the caprice of a president or the accident of an election. The franchise plan makes every president a four-year-Czar with absolute power over the life and death of every business concern largy enough to trade throughout the nation. The Navy. A nation without power; is a nation without Influence. A maritime nation's power is in her navy. With longer j;oast lines than any three of the greattst commercial nations combin ed; with far-fl.ins possessions and a forelen roninvrce with in a quarter of a century will pass that of England and Germany together with the canal giving us uiulif asm-d of advantages In foreign commerce which in a quarter a navy as t;rra as theso tremendous acts rcqu're. We are midway in that tvotk today, nn-1 we mean to go oa with that program of economy, safety and peace. Had o:ir ravy been as large In 1SD8 as It is tctlay, ?pain-would not have gone to war a:id Cuba would have been treed by diplomacy; yet the actual cash spent in that little war would have built two navies as great as the on? we have today and maintained them fcr a score of yean. Thin is a campaign of candidates even more than of platforms. The question is net which candidate Is most upright, patriotic, brave, for both are equally so. Doth mtan equally well toward their country. The real question Is, which candidate will make the best president- Which 1b the wisest and steadiest? Which man would you choose as administrator of your estate? Which would you , select to manage your business Which has tho best training and the most experience? Mr. Bryan never has handled a single foreign problem. He has governed no Philippines, regenerated no 'Cuba, bjilt no canal, avoided no alien danger, saved ua from no threatened peril. Mr. Taft has done all. It was his genius for the practical and devotion to humanity that took Philippine chaos and made Philippine order; took Philippine hate and changed it, by the alchemy of Iiis tact, to Philippine love. It was his statesmanship that achieved the Impossible, converted an Oriental people Into a voting citizenship, and laid the foundations for a future which, as God wills, may become a separate na.ion or a glad and patriotic part of this gn at republic. It vas William II. Taft who set Cuba n order, established her feet In civii;?atIon'3 upward path; and it was he who, when so directed by President Roosevelt, who first advised with Mr. Taft, when these children of liberty tore his work to piocts set up once more the blessed rule of order and liberty and law with a father's patience and a statesman's wisdom. It is he who U commanding the practical work of that greatest enterprise of human history, the building of tho Tanama Canal. Taft the Experienced. It was he whose counsel President Roosevelt sought at every crisis of hie historic administration; he who helped avert war when little politicians and r.arrow minds would have plunged ua into conflict. It was William II. Taft

BALL whom oür president, when confronted with foreign perplexities and with the awful weight of our ninety millions' welfare on his heart, sought for strength and wisdom; and It Is William II. Tait mone than any man ever called to the leadership of the American people, who has had the best training, the widest experience and the wisest teaching to fit him for that glorious but serious task. In domestic affairs. Mr. Bryan has written not one law, administered not a single department, advised no presidentwhile lecturing all. He la a preacher of righteousness, but not an administrator of affairs. He never conducted the government of a city, a . county, a state or a nation. William II. Taft has been judge on the bench, governor of a people, administrator of a department. His hand has helped to shape most of the progressive laws we have passed in the last seven years, and his gnat heart and splendid mind are behind eveT law we propose today. The sought-for counselor of three presidents as different yet as wire as Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt Fate has equipped him to be the trusted leader of the people who loved and honored these three chief magistrates. Almost It seems that here is a man prepared by Providence to be the captain of this chosen people, Bryan's Rightful and Useful Place. Let no man denounce Mr. Bryan. Such men are necessary to human progress. Always such men have been the voice of protest, but never the statesmen of a cause. Always they have been the-urgers of reform, but never the doers of the work. Mr. Bryan is an Aaron, but not a Moses; a Henry, but not a Washing ton; a Wendell Phillips, but not A Abraham Lincoln. He is the storm of unrest which clears the atmosphere, but not the trade winds that carry to port the freighted ships of a people's hope. Four years ago, in his own home, paying tribute to his character and mind, I called him a dreamer who beholds happy visions but achieves no useful deed. His is the mind that thinks of the barren field bending with grain; but hii Is not the plowman's hand, the sower's craft or the gleaner's husbandry. The poet's, dream of an undiscovered Utopia has cheered us all; but the Pilgrims, actually landing on Plymouth Rock, planted the real tree of liberty, beneath whose real shade we rest and by whose real fruils we live. No Astrologer. . William H. Taft Is of the Pilgrim stuff his i3 the wisdom that makes the ideal vision a living fact. Tried In every realm of government, tested In every department of statesmanship, he never yet has failed. He is a skilled seaman of statesmanship who takes his reckoning by the fixed stars of human nature and experience not an uncertain astrologer casting absurd horoscopes from imaginary signs and symbols. And not once on all his voyages has the reckoning he has made been wron; not once has a single horoscope that Mr. Bryan has cast been rlsht. When tho great commander who has guided our ship of state through storms of opposition and amid the rocks of hatred straight for the port of our higher hopes and our larger liberties, voluntarily steps from the bridge and delivers to us his high oom mission, let us hand it to the ablest officer aboard and safely make the bar bor of our heart's desire. Hearst and his friends in Indiana had a happy evening In English's theater. Many In that crowd do not approve of him or his party, but they enjoyed the pleasure given him by speaking of th parties they belong to. His talk was smart enough from the Hearst viewpoint, and none of us feel any sore places today. When they tell you that Mr. Bryan is a changed man. ask them to give a single proof of it. He said in his acceptance speecii.that the action of the Denver convention renewed "his faith and strengthened his attachment to the principles he had advocated foi twelve years.
