There were cries for Governor Cummins, who
responded by pledging the state to give Taft
one hundred thousand majority, and the enthu T
Bsasn sC the day and the size of the crowds
■would Fecni to make the pledge warranted.
JOKIN<i WITH THE CROWDS.
There was some lay in getting away from
■■llilMlWl and Mr. Taft stood on the rear
platform and *hook hands with many and cx
cnansred pleasantries with the crowd.
" Teddy* lias written another letter, so you
•won't have to do so much speaking,** shouted a
man.
"The President is a mighty good man to have
on your Fide." responded Mr. Taft.
"'Bill.' the only tiling I have -against. you is
that you part your hair in the middle: " shouted
another.
"Don't refer to my misfortune It Is rapidly
setting to a point where I shall have to part it
w ith a towel.*" replied :he candidate, to the ap
parent delight of the crowd.
In action as ■ han<S-6haker Mr. raft makes
an interesting picture. He leans far over the
rail of th» eftr platform and works with both
hands at once, craspins Sometimes two and three
hands In once clasp, and then l^ts go anrl takes
another bunch, meanwhile talking: genially and
bestowing th- "Taft smile" penerously.
At stswslsllllli . where there is the largest pearl
button factory in the world, fa* president of the
Women's Club, composed of workers in the fac
tories, presented a box of pearl buttons to Mr.,
Taft. "These at" very. fine." he said. "Now can
you furnish some one to sew a few on for me?"
There were many volunteers, but just then the
train pulled out.
To-day has afforded the candidate the first
opportunity he has had to test his ability as a
-mixer." and if he had any doubts, as to his
puccess the experience must have set his mind
at rest.
At Morning Sun a. brief stop was made, and an
old man rushed after the train htv] handed up
copies of a song entitled "The Hip Stick: or.
Don't Put Your Feet in the Trough. "" of which
he -was the author. The copies were for Mr.
Taft and Governor Cummins
One of the largest crowds to greet Mr. Taft
was at Ottumwa. where the pretty square In the
centre of the town -was locked with from ten
thousand to twelve thousand persons. Over the
speakers' stand was a liu/f.' canvas bearing the
inscription. "I don't care for the Presidency if
it has to come by compromise of principle." Mr.
Taft was cheered continuously from the moment
he entered Ottumwa until he left it. except dur
inp the actual speaking.
AtOskaloosa. the home of Major Lacey, the
candidate was taken to the square in the centre
of the town, where about seven thousand persons
were waiting; to see him. Governor Cummins
did not leave the train, out of consideration for
his opponent, who he felt should have the entire
epotligrht in his own city.
MAKES EIGHTEEN SPEECHES.
Mr. Taft spoke eighteen times in all to-day.
There whs an all-day rally In Dcs Molnes. Sen
ator Dolllver joined the party here, and with
Governor Cummins. Major Lacey and Repre
sentatives Dav.-wn and Smith, assisted Mr. Taft
on the platform.
There has been no let-up in the heat and
.. dust which from the first have made this trip
one of great physical discomfort, but late to
night the special train heads northward, and
cooler weather is hoped for. Cedar Rapids will
be. the first stop to-morrow, and the train is
scheduled to reach St. Paul at 3:30 p. in.
At l.ii* this morning Eugene v. Debs, the
Socialist candidate for President, and Mr.
Taft "stood on the same platform," as a local
i wit expressed it. The "red special," gayly
decorated with the red banners and streamers
usually associated with anarchy, drew into the
station at Milwaukee, and for twenty minutes
the cars of Mr. Taft and Mr. Debs. stood side
by side, although their occupants were sleep
ing and. doubtless, unconscious of each other's
presence. Mr. Tuft would not admit that he.
had <x]~i danced any nightmare.
The registration days this year are Monday,
October 5; Tuesday, October 6: Saturday,
October 10. and Monday, October 12. All who
intend to vote must register on one of thesa

MR. SHERMAN'S SPEECH.
Mr. Sherman wore a Taft pin in the lapel of
his «oat and a badge with the American flag and
pictures of Judsre raft and the Whit.? House on it.
He spoke as follows:
'"• of Mr. Bryan's most quoted sayings is, "Pro
tection has slain its thousands; the gold standard
has slain its tens of thousands." In bis many
changes lie has not given up his hatred of sound
money, although he Is content to be silent about it
in this (arnj'Hi^r. He answers hoi a word to .i
pointed question in Chicago whether he would main
tain the gold standard if elected ; President. How
• "uld he give aid to a power Blayini it's tens of
thousands? He would be bound to use all his iiu
tboiity to check - ich a destroyer.
The establishment of the gold standard la law,
and its administration is on<- of the great' achi'ne
menu of tii»- Republican party. An assault upon
it would work harm to every industry, to wage
earners in every occupation and to burnous Of all
kinds. Who can tell what mischief th.. adroit
champion of free silver mii;bl «.■•■. ,k with the
Presidential wand In his reckless h.imi?
This country cannot afford to put sound money
in Jeopardy, to Intrust the gold standard to the
care of its fees. Tiie ben'-ilta enjoyed Tom it arc
to.i rich and manifold to be Imperilled for the
profit -A a partisan leader. Recall the advantages
derived which we arc so pi one to forget, just as
we fail to take account of ail and water and sun
shine .Measure first chat a rock of safety the
gold basis is. By reason of the Republican policy
this country baa become the owner of more gold
than has ever before been held by any people, any
where, at any time. In the public vaults of the
United States is treasured it larger amount of the
yellow metal than has ■•'.•; • luewhere been £.:';,
ered under single control.
By the official statement of September I, 1908,
the national Treasury holds in actual gold $1,426,
643.372. The magnitude of this sum stuns the im
aKin.i...:.. as It strains the power of computation.
Bi sides, the banks of the country have in their
poaaewwor two hundred millions or more of the
yellow metal. Weighed by comparison will other
nations, what is this treasure? The gold reserve
in Europe is hoarded in ..:.•:;■! banks. According
to "Th« New York Financial Chronicle." trWe in
stitutions held September IT in England $190,000,000,
in France $643,000,000,. 1n Germany $200,400,000. In Rus
sia 1589.000.0013 and in Austria-Hungary t235.000.000.
That Is to say, the gold holdings of the Treasury
of the I'nited States exceed those of the richest
three power? of Europe, nd if the low metal m
the banks Is added surpasses such resources of any
four of them.
Since the passage of the gold utandard law In
]>>j the inert ■ in the yellow metnl In the Treas
ury has been 1392.258,928. This growth Is more than
tli<? total holdings of Great Britain and Germany
combined. The figures are more eloquent than
V. o Tils.
HELPS UXITED STATES ABROAD
The plea for ri*e silver md for fie issue of
paper money In that In that manner the circulat
ing medium may be enlarged In volume. The Re
NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1908
nKI'KeSEN'TATITE J. S. SHERMAN XSP COMMITTEE,
publican answer is always thn>r more dollars are a
curse if they are debased and false. They are an
advantage if they are as good as any dollars in
the world. An honest dollar can be melted an 1
the value Is still one dollar. A silver dollar, when
melted, is worth only &0 cents.
So the nation ?rold is not for mere display. It
is of practical use. and renders vital service. It Is
the sure foundation of America's credit, public
and private. On it is built a pyramid broader and
grander than that of which Egypt can boast.
The money in circulation in the United States
in this current month is $3,077,406,908. The per
capita is S^T'OT, unequalled in any nation in Europe,
except France. The addition to the circulation
since 1890 has been the marvellous aggregate of
(1.014,981.412. Every dollar of this money, whether
coin or paper, commands gold on every continent,
wherever men buy or sell, for every dollar Is a
witness to the Integrity and honor of the United
States.
Tho gold standard is one of the. chief factors
which wins for the bonds of the United States
the highest price among government securities,
while our burden of Interest is nt the minimum.
Our -' per pent bonds are steadily at IW to 106,
while British consols, bearing 24 per cent Interest,
tiring only 86. German 1 -. per cents nell at 88.
and French rentes at 96. That Is the tribute of the
world's markets to American finance under Re
publican control. It is a reward earned by the
rejection of Mr. Bryan's fallacies.
No one haj\ profited so much by the gold stand
ard ;ts the men who work for wages and fixed 5.%1
arles. With an unstable currency, they would be
paid in the medium of least value. , which would
buy the smallest supply of food mid clothing, and
go the shortest way on the rent account. A '•!)<•■
dollar would enforce a reduction of actual wages.
Knrnines paid on a gold basis, are worth most to
purchase with or to pa) debts, while they ar>>
the most secure form f.or savings. The prudent
man doubt* about * putting away money shrinking
li value and lacking S"lid basis.
To-day every dollar issued under legal authority
ts equal to the coin of the Republic, and matches
the closest test of the most expert of financiers.
Moreover, all our currency will stand .it par so
long us gold is the standard of commercial tin
tions. so long as men trade together here or any
where within the limits of civilization.
"PIED PIPER OF NEBRASKA."
The only peril is that insanity may seize, upon
the electors and they be led astray by the Pied
Piper of Nebraska. The German legend teaches
how disappointed greed may try to wreak Its ri—
venge.
Our home markets have felt and are feeling the
Impetus and the confidence of Bound money. Stable
ages add to In--- desire hud the ability to purchase.
The faith that business Is on a firm basis incites
production, broadens enterprise, and enlarge* tiie
fifld of labor Tlie manufacturer has no cause to
dr»-ad shifting In the currency; he is certain that
the- money he spends to-day will not give place to
morrow to a medium far •■>» In value He can
venture to lay In raw materials; t.i build new fac
tories; to employ more operatives. Th»" merchant
buys goods on a gold !.;i.-i^ certain thai Ills sales
will be on i he same ■<•%■ i. Cash means sold or Its
equivalent, and not silver worth h*lf as much, or
depreciated paper, with risks of heavy discounts.
The producer and deal* i trade In merchandise and
are not brokers In uncurrent money. Bui pros
perity of our home markets goes f.ir to explain «ho
nation's industrial piogtesa
Our country. thus ii.is taken th« first ranV in the
variety, volume and value of Its manufactures. Bo
In the exports of Its own mechanical prod "it
leads every rlv.nl. It challenges competition •" »11
markets, for M •• gold *tai dard which its sale*
must be made, rules In all activities at home. The
products of ouragrlcullure reached the unparalleled
value of $8,000,000,001 this year. Farmers find in the
factories their best customers and the certainty of
reward incites to Intense soil culture guided by
science. Crops demand gold, not debased currency.
Transportation Is the servant of th<? producer and
the consumer, and sh^ies the s;itne coin with them.
A quarter of a .■•!.' ago we were considered nn
agricultural nation. Now we are the largest ex
porting nation as well. Foreign commerce can
thrive only with our manufactures and agriculture.
More than either it depends upon the use of .the
world's money — of actual gold

A MEASURE OF BRYAN
BEVERIDGE WIELDS RULE.
No. 25 Per Cent Statesman Can Be
President. He Says.
William Howard Taft and Governor Hughes
shared the plaudits of an enthusiastic audience
which filled Carnegie Hall to the overflowing
point last night when the Republican campaign
in this city was opened under the auspices of
the county committee. Senator Albert J. Rev
eridge, of Indiana, the speaker of the evening,
talked on "Business and the Trusts." His clear,
logical argument showing that the Republican
party was- the friend of upright and progressive
business methods and at the same time: the con
server of the rights of th« people in connection
with large business Interests was received with
earnest and enthusiastic approval. "We battle
against dishonest business, but we battle for
honest business Just as earnestly." was th*- key
note of what he had to say.
The Senator spoke of the natural growth of
big businesses and the benefits which had fol
lowed to consumer as well as worklngman. He
showed the absurdity of the proposition of Mr.
Bryan that a concern doing business in more
than one state and which controlled more than 25
per cent of the product In which it dealt should
take out a federal license. "Twelve years ago
it was Bryan arid HJ to 1 money; to-day It Is
Mr. Bryan and a 'Si per cent business." said
the Senator. "No '_'."> per cent statesman can
be President of the American people.*" The au
dience approved the point with prolonged
cheers.
BEVERIDGE PRAISES PRESIDENT.
It was then that the Senator proceeded to tell
how IRI publican party proposed to deal with
the evils that had grown up with big busi
nesses, "to remove the poison Ivy without cut
ting down the oak." In this connection the
speaker mentioned the name of President Roose
velt. He was obliged to pause until the cheers
had died away. "We declare." he said, "that no
power In the nation shall be greater than the
nation. We nre making that declaration good
In law and Its execution under the most fear
less, feared and beloved leader of the people
in the •-■ arid Theodore Roosevelt."
When he was finished hundreds of persons
pushed up on to the platform to congratulate
tho speaker on his forceful, clear-cut and con
vincing appeal, which ended with a striking
tribute to ,Governor Hughes and ;i splendid
eulogy of the accomplishments of Mr. Taft.
Senator Beyerldge said, among other things:
Unjust attacks on business have made business
the leading question of this campaign. A big busi
ness country must have big business, and ours Is
tho biggest business cuuntry tn the world, BuSi
nesx depends inxni the ease and <julckness with
which people • an mingle and trade together. Russia
has more people than America, but she lias few
and poor means of communication— her population
is segregated into many little groups. America's
people are united Into one Vsist family. Bo Russia
has no hie business, while America has big busi
ness. And the greater our civilization the greater
our business will be.
BUSINESS ORGANIZATION IMPERATIVE.
So we •■■■■ that to stop the growth of business
organizations Is to stop the growth of the coun
try. If steel Industry were run by the little
concerns of fifty years ago ere would be only ■
fraction of the output of the people's building and
transportation materials. And If, Instead of gre.it
railroads, the nation's transportation were done by
the little lines of the last generation none/of these
Industries could ship directly nnd cheaply. Shall
we go backward or forward? Is the business ques
tion of this campaign. Politicians ... 1 nee big
business: but ».-k the farmer If he Is willing to
go back to the blacksmith shop for his ploughs,
harrows, wagons and reapers.
But big business also means higher wai^ej nnd
steadier employment for labor.
The opposition proposes that no concern doing
business Ii more than one state "shall control as
much as 25 per cent of the product In which it
deals" until it takes out a federal license to do
business at all. and that thereafter "it shall not
control more than 50 per cent of any commodity."
This license may he granted or withdrawn at any
time by any administration. But business depends
upon certainty.
Suppose any business man offended the Presi
dent, or even the chief of the bureau which handled
this license system. Suppose this President or
officer should declare that lie was "controlling
more than ii", per cent of the product In which he
dealt" he would be forced to stop his business
until hi got a license Having got a license, sup
pose his enemy would say that he was doing more
business than the law/ allowed. In l«oth cases the
burden of proof is on the business man. Shall we
make another Venezuela out of the United States?
The franchise plan would Venezuelaise American
business, a Castro may be good for Venezuela
but not for America.
The opposition denounce: the Increase In govern
ment officials; but then franchise plan would cre
ate a hundred where there is now one.
A HUNDRED PER CENT COUNTRY;!
A I.- per cent franchise means a 25 per 0 m busi
ness; but this Is -a 100 per cent country. Twelve
years ago It was Bryan and 16 to i money; to-day
i 1i 1 is Bryan and 'S, per cent, business. No 25 per
cent statesman can be President Of the American
people.
As American business has changed, so Its du
ties have changed. Failure to realize this has
caused most of the evils of big business. When
men did business exclusively for themselves, deal
ing with comparatively few customers, the first of
business principles was that every man's affairs
were his own business, with which the public had
nothing to do. The legal maxim was "Caveat enip
tor" — "Let the purchaser I beware."
Hut all the agendas that knit 90.000.000 people into
a unit made necessary Increased business organisa
tions to serve the Increased needs of this Increased
consuming population. They created those organ
isations of industry called trusts. Still the man
agers Of these business organisations clung to the
old system of business ethics and legal principles
which their grandfathers employed.
Th.' railroad manager said: "The way I run this
railroad is my business, with which the people have
nothing to do." The agencies I have named made
possible the Beef Trust, Its founders thought they
built up the Beef Trust, yet they only shaped Him
forces which the people themselves created. i
We declare that no power In the nation shall i>*
grfcater than the nation; thai no corporation cre
ated to serve the people shall be above the people.
And we are making that declaration good In' law
and Its execution under the administration of tho
most fearless, feared and beloved lender of any
people in the Theodore Roosevelt.
In America's elemental work of setting our busi
ness on straight paths, as England, France and
Germany have done for their business long ago,
our chief danger is not from the dull reactionary
who calls his <-iiihlike reasoning the wisdom of the
ages; but from the excited extremist, who calls his
flashlight philosophy the gospel of progress.
"AMEND ANCIENT SHERMAN LAW."
We will amend the ancient Sherman law. which
changed condition* have made injurious and gro
tesque. It Is right to shackle the hands of dis
honest business men: ft Is outrageous to bind the
hands of honest business men. But Mr. Bryan
refuses to bring this obsolete statute up to date.

Senator Bereri at the close of his formal
speech in speaking of Governor Hughes Mid:
"We throughout the nation understand that
the man whose name hns become the flag of re
form Is Governor Hushes."
The Senator caused considerable amusement
by reading from an appeal for fund? Issued by
tho Absoclitlon of Southern Democrats la New
York: •'The platform of the Democratic party
speaks for Itself. An able, conscientious man
like Mr Bryan, when elected, would stand on
this .itf. rm. II he should attempt any harm
ful legislation a. Republican Senate would pre
vent It." The Senator »kingly said that it
showed what the association thought of the
tendencies of the candidate, and that, after all,
Mr. Bryan might not be able to do any harm.
according to the Ideas of the Southern Demo
crats.

Depew appeared on the stage and the audience
drowned the music with Its cheers When the
band had stopped there were demands for a
speech. "Tell us a story." demanded one of
the Senator's admirers. Tin Senator bowed
graciously, but allowed the musical entertain
ment to go on. Including songs from ,-i quartet.
"Get on the Raft with Taft" was one of the
songs that made a great hit.
When Senator Bevereldge 1 , who had been
entertained at the Union League Club! arrived
with Beth Low. who was to preside, and others.
th*> meeting was started by Herbert Parsons;
president of the Republican County Commit
tee, who Introduced the chairman.
Ex-Mayor Low said that the Republicans were
asking to be maintained in the control of th*
nation and the state on the basis of perform
ance, while the Democratic party was asking
to be placed In control on the basis of promise
Mention of the name of Mr. Taft was repeatedly
cheered to the echo, and the name of Governor
Hughes started a demonstration which lasted
for more than two minutes.
PRAISE FOR Mi; HUGHES.
Of him ex-Mayor Lew said:
The renomlnatlon ••( Governor Hashes by the
Republican party is a real triumph for the people.
Bj Ms fearless attacks on Rambling at the race
tracks he arouse. l fierce antagonisms, and by hi*
course In appealing from the Legislature and th«
organization to the peopki he .made it hard for
many to give him their support. Happily, how
ever, wise counsels prevailed, and the party has
certainly been true to it* be.st traditions In nomi
nating him.
The same controversy which was carried on
within the party has now been transferred) t>v
the renomlnatlon of the Governor, to the people
of tiie state. in the interest of the people the
Governor has stood for the enforcement of" the
state constitution at all hazards. He has stood
for a high standard of enii-iem-y In the public
service, and he has In his own person illustrated
complete devotion to the public Interests The
Republican party has done well to renomtnate
such a man for Governor, and it fearlessly ap
peals to the people of the state, without regard to
party, to replace him In office, because it knows
that he ought to be. re-elected. Just as he should
have been renomlnated.
