i he Postal Administration of Great
Britain having concurred therein:
It is hereby ordered. That, commenc
iug on the Ist day of October, 1908
th*i postage rate applicable to letters
mailed in United States, addressed foi
delivery at any place in the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland
shall he two (2) cents an ounce or frac

paid or short paid letters.
G. V. L. MEYER,
Postmaster General.
Behind this simple statement is a
vast amount of Republican construc
tive legislation which resulted in the
significant accomplishment, set forth
by the Postmaster General. It is elo
quent iy prophetic of a world-wide pen
ny postage, for which the credit will be
due to a Republican administration.
Sixth Universal Plata! Congress.
I'he Sixth Universal Postal Congress
convened In the city of Home, Italy,
April 7 and continued until May 20.
H>oo. Sixty-five countries. Including the
United States, were represented. The
assembly was for the purpose of dis
cussing the postal systems of all nations
and. If possible, agreeing upon measures
for the improvement in all practical
ways, of the regulations governing in
ternational intercourse through the
mails. The first congress of this kind
met in Herne, Switzerland, in 1874.
The United States Postofflce Depart
ment was represented in this World
Postal Congress by two delegates—the
Superintendent of Division of Foreign
Mails, as in previous postal congresses,
and tile Hon. Edward Rosewater of the
Omaha Ree, who had also served in the
preceding postal congress.
Move for IniverMul Penny Posta**.
At this Universal Postal Congress
representatives of the United States
proposed a universal two-cent postage
to all nations. The Hon. J. Hennlker
Heaton, M. P., who is the father of the
two-cent Idea In England, speaking of
America’s action at the Rome conven
tion, in standing out for a universal
two-cent postal rate, said:
"The British members stood coldly
by. They did not recognize that tills
was a great historic occasion, a worthy
parallel of that solemn scen on July
4,177 U, when the Declaration of Inde
pendence was adopted; for if the
Americans are willing to adopt a penny
postage to all parts of the world, it fol
lows that they are willing to establish
it to the British Empire and form with
us a ‘Restrictive Postal Union.’ ”
The lion. Whltelaw Reid, America's
Republican minister to the Court of St.
Janies, praised the work of the Ameri
can delegation ami solicited the friendly
co-operation of the British government
at a Fourth of July banquet speech in
London in 1906. Mr. Reid said:
‘“The American people hoped for
closer and cheaper communications
with all other fuitions as the best means
of promoting •otter acquaintance and
perpetuating friendship. They were
gratified to find that the British apostle
of penny postage (Mr. Heaton) at this
moment focusing his efforts on what
ought to be the easy task of persuad
ing the authorities on both sides of the
Atlantic, that it was as cheap to carry
a letter from London to New York as
from London to Calcutta ; or from New
York to Manila—and quite as useful.’’
American Republican!! Lend the Way
So it has come to pass that the Unit
ed States, snder its Republican admin
istration, has finally succeeded in en
tering into a convention with Great
Britain whereby after the Ist of Octo
ber this year, a two-cent postage race
will obtain between this country and
England. Ireland. Scotland and Wales.
We already have such an arrangement
with Canada. Mexico, Cuba. Panama
and our colonial possessions. This great
accomplishment is universally recog
nized as the proper beginning which is
to result in a universal two-cent postage
rate around the world.
Important Thing* Accomplished.
Two other Important things that the
Republican administration accomplish
ed at the Rome Universal Postal Con
gress through its representatives, must
not be lost sight of. One was the adop
tion of a universal return coupon
stamp, in exchange for which, upon its
presentation at a postoffiee In another
country, the person presenting it shall
receive a postage stamp of the value of
5 cents, good in any country of the
world, thus enabling people here to
prepay postage at regular rates upon
reply letters.
The other significant concession was
that in all World Postal Congresses to
be held in the future, the United States
Is to be granted an additional vote, in
I view of its Island possessions; so that
at all future congresses our country
will be entitled to two votes, as against
j one vote each cast by every other na
| tion in the world.
Fraction] Benefit* to tli* People.
No doubt the Democrats may inquire
I as to what all this has to do with the
welfare of American citizens. For
their enlightenment aud Information it
may be stated that, according to the
United States census of 1900, the for
eign born population in the United
States at that time was 10,460,085. The
population, born of foreign parentage
(one or both parents having lieen born
in foreign countries) was 20,198,939,
or a total foreign population of 36,-
659,024. The report of the Immigra
tion Commissioner by years since then
shows that 6,668,656 have since come
to America, thus eking out the total
foreign population at the present time
to 46,327,680. This does not take any
note of increase since 1900 in Ameri
can-horn children, one or both of whose
parents are of foreign blood. Estimat
ing that only one-half of tli is number—
-21,663,84o—write0 —write one letter to foreign
countries every two weeks, or 26 weeks
each j-ear, we have 120,983,040 letters
written annually, which, at the present
rate of 5 cents postage each, amounts
to an expenditure of $6,499,152 annu
ally. Under the present postal law
foreign correspondents may sernf let
ters to the United States "collect,” but
when they reach their destination the
recipient must pay double postage. Fig
uring the double postage on the same
basis, the foreign population of the
United States pays during each year,
for postage under the present system,
$19,497,456.
Under the new and cheaper postal
charges advocated by the Republican
party, should the 2-cent rate become
universal, the foreign population in
the United States, to their direct cor
respondents, would only pay $3,249,576
annually for direct postage and $9,748,-
728, for letters sent to them from for
eign countries “collect.” In other
words, this Republican measure will
save the highly esteemed adopted citi
zens of our country, and those born
here of foreign parentage $12,998,254
annually. In the necessary correspond
ence with their loved ones abroad. But
perhaps the Democrats do not think
this is worth while.
Some Glariiii; Inconsistencies.
At present an American can send a
letter 5,000 miles by land—say from
Mexico to Alaska—for 2 cents, but
must pay 5 cents for a letter of half
the weight sent 3,100 miles to England.
An Englishman pays 5 cents on a let
ter crossing the Atlantic, 3,100 miles,
and 2 cents on one crossing the Indian
and South Pacific Oceans, 16,000 miles,
to New Zealand. All this Is to be rem
edied on October the first next, thanks
to an enlightened Republican adminis
tration.
w orld Is Bendy tor Reduction,
It will probably be but a short time
after the convention between this coun
try and England goes into effect, until
the dream of a universal 2-cent loiter
postage, championed by the Republican
party, will be realized. Australia, New
Zealand and Egypt have already called
for the 2-cent rate. The Emperor of
Germany has said that if England es
tablishes a 2-cent postage rate wdth
the United States, he will have Ger
many do the same. France, Italy.
South Africa, Japan, Belgium, Hol
land, Denmark aud Sweden would need
little more than an invitation to fol
low suit.
A 2-cent postal rate would bind all
the South American republics and the
United States still more closely togeth
er into a peaceful, reciprocal, progres
sive, civilization, which would mean a
more rapid development of both Ameri
can continents and anew application
of the Monroe doctrine. With these
countries agreed, on the object desired,
the continent of Europe alone would
then be wholly outside this compre
hensive postal union, and then the
continental powers would not long
stand aloof from it.
It has remained for the United
States to take the initiative in a move
to reap the great glory of being the
pioneers of a world wide 2-cent post
age. MillAnp of our citizens wiO feel
almost as grateful for this beneficent
act as millions of slaves did. when the
Republican party broke the shackles
that bound them to perpetual physical
services.
BRYAN'S POLICIES DESTRUCTIVE.
Mr. Taft Compares Republican and
Democratic Platforms.
(From Mr. Taft’s Speech of Accep
tance. )
The chief difference between the Re
publican and the Democratic platforms
is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies of Mr.
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr. Bryan. Mr. Roosevelt's policies
have been progressive aud regulative;
Mr. Bryan's destructive. Mr. Roose
velt has favored regulation of the busi
ness in which evils have grown up so
as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business to continue. The tendency
of Mr. Bryan s proposals has generally
been destructive of the business with re
spect to which he is demanding reform.
Mr. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
to conduct their business in a lawful
manner aud secure the benefits of their
operation and the maintenance of the
prosperity of the country of which they
are an important part; while Mr.
Bryan would extirpate and destroy the
entire business in order to stamp out
the evils which they have practiced.
SUCCESSOR TO THE WATERTOWN REPUBLICAN.
I feel that the country is indeed to be congratulated upon the
nomination of Mr. Taft. I have known him intimately for many years
and I have a peculiar feeling for him, because throughout that time
he worked for the same object, with the same purposes and ideals.
I do not believe there could be found in all the country a man
\ so well fitted to be President.
He is not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and up
right, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation’s needs, with
out and within, and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens.
He would be as emphatically a President of the plain people as
Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would be freer from the least taint
of demagogy, the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of
any kind.
He has a peculiar and intimate knowledge of and sympathy with
the needs of all our people—of the farmer, of the wage earner, of the
business man, of the property owner.
No matter what a man’s occupation or social position, no matter
what his creed, his color, or the section of the country from which he
comes, if he is an honest, hard working man who tries to do his duty
toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that
he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and the
most fearless of champions.
Mr. Taft stands against privileges and he stands pre-eminently for
the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the founda
tion of our national well being.
BOTJTELI ON BRYAN.
la His “Shall the People Rule?”
Simply “a Local Issue?”
Congressman Henry Sherman Bou
tell of Chicago, commenting on Mr.
Bryan’s speech in lowa, says;
Mr. Bryan’s question, “Shah the peo
ple rule?” implies that somewhere in
this country the people do not rule.
The only States where the people do
not rule are the States that are ex
pected to give overwhelming majorities
for the Democratic ticket. Perhaps
Mr. Bryan thinks that his question is
purely “a local issue.” If he is sin
cere, I challenge him to make a speech
in Vicksburg, Miss., on “Government
by the People.” Let him repeat one of
his famous anti-imperialist speeches,
simply changing three words, substitut
ing “Mississippi” for “Philippines” and
“black brothers” for “brown brothers.”
Let him suggest that we have as chair
man of his meeting John Sharp Wil
liams, leader of the Democrats in Con
gress, and as vice-chairmen the other
members of the Congressional delega
tion from Mississippi.
And after he has made his speech
in Vicksburg, if he shall have escaped
the rule of the people in that com
munity, I dare Mr. Bryan to repeat
his oration on popular government in
Charleston. S. C. t with Senator Till
man as chairman of his meeting. Mr.
Bryan’s sentiments have a purely geo
graphical sincerity. His epigrams and
startling conundrums are especially de
signed to meet local demands. Of this
nature are all his views on tariff and
taxation.
Mr. Bryan’s proposition that every
time a trust is formed a tariff sched
ule should be repealed, and every time
a trust is dissolved anew duty should
be added, is too funny even for comic
opera.
If on March 4 next Mr. Bryan should
become President, with a Democratic
Congress in both houses, and should
actually place upon the statute books
the financial and economic vagaries de
livered by him in his speech of last
Friday, it would plunge the nation into
bankruptcy and brine- on Industrial
chaos. If he should by repealing
the duty on sugar to punish the sugar
trust, he would upset the national
finances by losing $60,000,000 a year
in revenues, and would sti up a revo
lution in Louisiana. Utah, Colorado
and Michigan. Then, if he should re
peal the duty on cotton goods, because
some hustling manufacturers of New
England or the Carolinas were dump
ing goods in China in rivalry with Eng
land and Germany, he would divert
other millions from the treasury and
invite still further industrial ruin.
But. of course, Mr. Bryan would do
none of these things, any more than
he will invade the solid South and sum
mon the coho-ts of Democracy to the
defence of th’ Cos istitutlon with the
battle cry “Shall the People Rule?”
Mr. Bryan simply does not mean what
he says. What he utters with Chad
baudian uuction in the North he repudi
ates with Pecksniffian duplicity in the
South.
Business Men Honest.
The business men of our community
as a whole are honest and their meth
ods are sound. The President has
never said otherwise. Indeed, it is
chiefly in the interest of the great body
of honest business men that he has
made his fight for lawful business
methods.—Hon. Wm. H. Taft, to Mer
chants and Manufacturers’ Associatkn.
Boston. Mass.
Gratitude to TcK in ley. f
The highest claim of William Mc-
Kinley for the gratitude of his coun
trymen is that, in spite of the abuse
and contumely that was heaped upon
his head for this policy, he placed our
coun rr in the forefront of nations as
a civilizer and uplifter of unfortunate
peoples.—Hon. Wm. H. Taft, at Cleve
land. Ohio.
WATERTOWN. JEFFERSON COUNTY. WIS. SERF 25. 1908.
ENEMY OE TARIFF.
Labor World Sees Danger in Bryan
Plan of Tariff for Revenue Only.
(From the Labor World.)
Workingmen and producers generally
should not delude themselves with the
belief that, if Mr. Bryan shall be elect
ed President, his plans for revision of
the tariff will present no menace to the
country. Mr. Bryan is the professed
enemy of the tariff system. He would
impose duties, If at all, for revenue
purposes only. On articles competing
with what he chooses to call trust-made
goods he would have no duty at all.
Any apparent deficit in import duties
arising from revised schedules he esti
mates would be more than made up by
increased imports. Of course, his hope
is to strike at the great protection
States, which happen to he Republican
in politics, like Pennsylvania, New
York. Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, West Vir
ginia. etc. It does not seem to matter
to him that every dollar’s worth of for
eign goods in the competitive class com
ing into the United States on a revenue
or free trade basis necessarily by so
much reduces the demaud for home
goods, thus displacing Just that much
American labor. What he wants to do
is to rebuke and avenge himself upon
protected manufacturers who do not
agree woth him in politics and who will
have none of him at the polls, says an
exchange.
But while Mr. Bryan is gunning for
protected industries and Republican
States, once his proposed tariff law
should he in force it would fall alike
upon all sections of the country, the
only differences between one State and
another being in the degree of hardship
imposed.
We hear of workingmen saying that
this time they itend to vote for Mr.
Bryan, because for the past ten months
we have had hard times. But what
good will that do? How is a tariff for
revenue, ignoring the protection idea
altogether, going to open the shops and
mills? How will the election of Sena
tors by direct vote start the wheels of
industry? Or the publication of cam
paign contributions? Or the further
harassment of the railroads? Or the
reorganization of the House, so that
the Speaker may be powerless? Why
open this country now to the markets
of the world when we have not suffi
cient demand to consume what we our
selves manufacture? Under Republi
can rule we have ust had ten years of
unparalleled prosperity. Under Dem
ocratic administrations we have never
had prosperity for 3113- period, long or
short.
Can’t Disaffect the Farmers.
The failure of Bryan’s desperate at
tempts to curry favor with the farmers
is illustrated by the manner in which
he was received at Crookston, Minn.
According to Congressman Halvor Stev
enson the event went off as follows:
“Bryan’s speech at Crookston was a
great disappointment. He actually lost
ground there for Democracy. Thous
ands of people were there to hear him,
and w ated till ten o’clock in the even
ing before he appeared. The address
was a narrow appeal to farmers, a
harangue, trying to prejudice them
against Republicanism. It didn’t take
at all. Only once was there the slight
est symptom of applause. He spoke to
a silent, disappointed audience.”
Campaign of Education.
In the great battle of 1896 the Re
publican party again stood for the
maintenance of the integrity of the na
tion. The fight was against odds pro
duced by a great industrial depression,
and against the most sophistical argu
ments. The Republican party main
tained a campaign of education among
the wage-earners and the farmers,
which ultimately !d to the complete
defeat of this second financial heresy
which has threatened the integrity of
our business structure.—Hon. Wm. H.
Taft, at Kansas City, Mo.
ÜBOfl LEGISLATION
Republican States Have Been Lib
eral in Legislation for
L^ibor,
Democratic States Have Done Little
to Make Labor Conditions Better
Within Their Bounds.
It is a fact that every important step
for the benefit of American labor has
been taken either by a Republican
Congress and administration, or by the
Legislature of a Republican State, of
course with the consent, and sometimes
by the advice, of the State executive.
Democratic Congresses have been no
tably negligent in this respect, and
Democratic States have either done
nothing to make labor conditions bet
ter within their bounds, or have slowly
and reluctantly followed at a distance
in the trail of Republican reforms.
Statu Legislation.
The States have control of labor leg
islation within their respective bounds,
federal authority being confined, so far
as labor is concerned, to the District
of Columbia and the territories, federal
reservations and federal public works.
The story of labor legislation shows
that nearly all labor reforms originated
in Republican States, and at the pres
ent day the Republicans are far ahead
of the Democrats in the enactment and
enforcement of laws for the welfare
of men and women and children who
work for a living. Twenty-six out of
thirty Republican States have labor
bureaus, and only seven out of sixteen
Democratic States have similar bu
reaus, without which labor laws are
often dead letters. Twenty-three Re
publican States have factory inspectors
to see to the enforcement of the factory
laws. Omy six Democratic States have
factory inspection services. Fifteen
States—thirteen Republican and two
Democratic—have free employment
agencies. Eighteen States have laws
on their statute books prohibiting labor
on government works or public con
tracts for more than eight hours a day.
Of these States sixteen are Republican
and two Democratic. Four Republican
States and one Democratic State have
laws declaring eight hours to be a legal
working day in the absence of a con
tract. Twenty-seven States prohibit
the employment of children under four
teen years of age in factories. Of these
twenty-three are Republican and four
are Democratic States. Laws limiting
the hours of the employment of chil
dren in factories or stores have been en
acted in twenty-four Republican and
thirteen Democratic States. Eighteen
Republican and ten Democratic States
prohibit night work by children. Twelve
Republican and three Democratic
States prohibit the employment of chil
dren in operating dangerous machinery
or cleaning machinery in motion. Fif
teen Republican and six Democratic
States limit the hours of labor of wom
en. It should be noted that twelve of
the Republican States which limit
women’s hours of labor have factory
inspectors to see that the law is obeyed,
while only three of the Democratic
States make such provision. In twenty
three Republican and ten Democratic
States employers are required by law
to provide seats for female workers.
Twelve States have enacted legisla
tion intended to effect the extinction of
the sweatshop system, with its degrad
iug and revolting accessories. Of these
twelve States ten are Republican and
two Democratic. Seventeen Republican
and five Democratic States have laws
requiring the payment of wages weekly
or fortnightly, or. in some instances,
prohibiting a longer period than one
moutli between pay days.
Trade Union LubeU,
Fourteen Republican States and only
one Democratic State—Nevada—have
laws in force prohibiting employers
from discharging persons on account of
membership in labor organizations, or
from compelling persons to agree not
to become members of labor organiza
tions as a condition of securing employ
ment or continuing in their employ.
Forty States have passed laws allowing
trade unions to adopt labels or trade
marks to be used to designate products
of the labor of their members, and pro
hibiting the counterfeiting of the use
of such labels or trade-marks by un
authorized persons. Of these States
twenty-eight are Republican and twelve
are Democratic.
The foregoing presents for considera-!
lion by Intelligent, patriotic labor sub-'
stantial facts and figures taken from;
the statute books of the several States.
No platitude can upset them. They
prove the records of the Republican
party and of the Democracy on the la
bor issue, aid they must convince ev
ery reasonable reader that the Republi
can party has not only brought Ameri
can labor up to its present honorable
standard, but that labor can look only
to the Republican party for assurance
of protection and prosperity in the
future.
Wonld Restrain Unlawful Trust*.
Mr. Bryan asks me what I would do
with the trusts. I answer that I would
restrain unlawful trusts with all the
efficiency of injunctive process and
would puuish with all the severity of
criminal prosecution every attempt on
the part of aggregated capital to sup
press competition. —Hon. Wm. H. Taft,
at Columbus, Ohio.
MU wm BANKS
Machinery of Congress Already
Started for Postal Savings
Bank Law.
A Safe and Sane Plan for the Con
venience of the People and the
Encouragement of Thrift.
“We favor the establishment of a
postal savings bank system for the con
venience of the people and the encour
agement of thrift."
This is the declaration of the Repub
lican national platform, and postal sav
ings banks will without doubt be au
| thorized by law and established as a
part of our financial sysfciu by the
action of Congress at its coining ses
sion, which will be convened in Decem
ber. Indeed, much has already been
accomplished towards the enactment of
this law. Av the last session of Con
gress a bill was carefully prepared
which met with the approval of the
Postmaster General, and was reported
upon favorably by the Senate Commit
tee on Post Offices and Post Roads.
This bill is now on the Senate calendar
and can be acted upon as soon as Con
gress is convened.
The scope of the proposed law is sot
forth in the committee report, which is
in part as follows:
Committee Report.
The purpose of this bill is to place
at the disposal ®f people of small
means the machinery of the Postoffice
Department to aid and encourage them
to save their earnings. The subject of
postal savings banks or depositories is
not new in this country and it may be
truly said to be quite familiar to the
people of Europe and the British colon
ies. The propriety of establishing
postal savings banks became the sub
ject of discussion in England as early
as 1807. Every objection to such use
of the postoffice facilities urged in this
country was vigorously pressed in the
long-continued discussion of the subject
In England.
For over fifty years private savings
Institutions waged bitter opposition to
the growing sentiment in favor of postal
savings banks, but notwithstanding
•each opposition in 1861 an act of Par
liament was passed entitled “An act
to grant additional facilities for de
positing small savings with the security
of the government for the due repay
ment thereof.” That the alarm of pri
vate institutions was ill founded is
amply proven by tlie recorded fact that
the private savings banks increased
their capital by more than ten millions
of dollars in the first fifteen years fol
lowing the establishment of postal sav
ings institutions.
That the postal savings Institutions
proved successful is satisfactorily at
tested by the fact that no backward
step has ever been taken in England on
this subject aud by the further fact
that in rapid succession the lead of
England was taken by other countries.
The primary purpose of those insti
tutions is to encourage thrift and a
saving disposition among the people of
small means by placing at their dis
posal in every part of the country
ready facilities for the depositing of
small sums, with absolute assurance of
repayment on demand with a low rate
of interest on a limited aggregate
amount.
Postal Savings Hanks Needed.
In certain parts of our country sav
ings institutions are sufficiently numer
ous to accommodate the people, hut
such areas are quite limited, being con
fined to New England and New York.
It is alleged that by reason of the num
ber and location of savings banks there
is one savings account to every two of
the population of New England, where
as in ail the country outside New En
gland and New York the average is
only one savings account to every 157
of the population. Taking such figures
to be approximately correct aud recog
nizing the fact that the people of all
sections of this country are pretty
much the same in habits, inclinations,
and purposes, it must be obvious to the
most casual observer that the people
of the South, the Middle West, and the
West do not save their earnings as do
those of New England from the mere
want of secure places in which deposits
may be made.
To those who feel inclined to believe
that the establishment of postal sav
ings depositories will involve an ele
ment of paternalism it seems quite suf
ficient to suggest that the machinery of
the Postoffice Department is now in ex
istence and will continue to exist with
out diminution of expense whether
such depositories are created or not
and that the establishment of these
depositories for the benefit of the
people will not involve one farthing of
loss to the Post-Office Department, but
will probably, on the contrary, prove
more than self-sustaining. Very slight
computation will clearly demonstrata
that the postal savings depositors can
not burden the Post-Office Department
with any additional deficiency.
Favors Publicity La<t.
If I am elected President, I shall
urge upon Congress, with every hope
of success, that a law be passed requir
ing a filing in a Federal office of a
statement of the contributions received
by committees and candidates in elec
tions for members of Congress and in
such other elections as are constitu
tionally within the control of Congress.
