Hughes, on Government Those who are opposed to a protective tariff and whose aim is to put the tariff upon a revenue basis can no more be trusted to make a revision consistent with the policy of protection than those who believe in protection ;{an ‘h;e expected to adjust the tariff to purposes solely of revmue.—&nrlu E. ughes. There are a thousand exigencies in the affairs of this great nation which cannot be foreseen or attempted to be controlled by any platform. The sagacity, steadiness of character, firmness and sound judgment of the chisf labor laws ever enacted in this or any other State. He also urged the enact- ment of labor laws in his messages to the Legislature, even going so far as to place the demand for a labor law in one of his messages to an extra session of the Legislature. : ¥ 5 Only 162 labor laws have been enacted in this State since its erection in 1777—in 133 years. One-third of these, exceeding in guality all of the others, have been enacted and signed during Governor’s Hughes'’s term of three years and nine months. = With such a record of zpproval dnnd suggestion of progressive legislation S — in the interest of humanity to his credit, it is easy to believe that human rights R will have a steadfast and sympathetic upholder in the new Justice of the N cn.flu‘rgimcgfxt:, C:EOXE'RE'NHGOY of the Supreme Court of the United States. 8 State of 5:;‘ Yok, secared the enactment of § Si°Eny other Stata within the Jast century. executive must be the security of the nation in many a trying emergency.— Charles E.

Hughes, while Governor of New Yor] When elected, November 7Zth, he will undoubtedly become The Great President —the man to whom .the nomination for the Presidency came absolutely unsought, refusing to permit any man to represent him in any way, leaders of the Republican and Pro- gressive parties not even knowing before choosing him as their standard - bearer, whether he would accept the nomination, when tendered, but he answered the call of the Amer- ican people unhesitatingly, resigning immediately the highest and most dig- nified position in the American Gov- ernment, next to the Presidency, in order to accept the opportunity for greater service to his countrymen. CONGRESS THE TARIFF-MAKER Regardless of the fact that the new reveaue bill, im- posing increased direct taxes on the people, provides for a tariff commission ostensibly non-parisan, tnless the Con: stitution of the United States is changsd Congress will always have the last word to say in tariffi-making, and its decision will be controlled by the majority of the Amer. ican people. ‘When there is a Democratic Congress and Adminis- tration there will be near free trade tariff acts, such as the Underwood act, constructed on the theory that pro- tection of American interests is unconstitutional, and the cheaply produced goods of foreign manufacture will get the advantage of the American markets to the exclusion of American products, When there is a Republican Congress and Administra- tion American interests, American wage-eamgrs and Amer- jcan manufacturers are protected. At approaching election American voters will decide wh 3 Congress and Administration favorable to fogej interests or a Congress and Administration in favor 6P pebutcting Amer ican interests shall be chosen.
