PHILADELPHIA lNDEP’ENDENC’l»HAU-. . ° The Old Cradle &8 of Human Liberty When, in the Course 'of Human Events, % it becomes necessary to elect a President of the United States, to be their Chief Executive for four years,\ : every citizen, entitled to vote, should not only conscientiously consider it to be his bounden duty to arrange his affairs so that he may cast a vote for the man of his choice, but e The Voter Should Consider: ~ . F 5 . Whether a candidate occupying the office for four years has not made his record and had a sufficient trial of irst: his ability; . FinG [ Second; Whether an abler man should not be selected and elected withqut delay; ! Whether it is not self-evident that when the principles and traditions of a political party in power can count upon the ’ T h 1Y d < nation’s’ prosperity only by the continiuation of the terrible war now raging, is it not the duty of the voters to decline to continue that party in power; Whether existing conditions in the United States, neither light nor transient, affecting the safety, happiness and Fourt h: permanent founfiations of prosperity of America, do not upon all men to be patriots and act independent of E partisanship, whenever needed; : : Whether it is not time now to settle, conclusively, that inasmuch as his party proves that a Republican tariff that F if t h: favored labor, in the past, has been the basis of the nation’s Frosperity, we must, without delay, declare and secure a President and the Congressmen to enact a Republican Taritf, and no longer depend upon war profits for American labor and prosperity; 2B | % Si k- Whether or not we approve of the members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, elected 1xt + to represent the'peopi: in legislative matters, being driven into any sudden action, without opportunity of having all the facts and figures of each particular question before them; A Seventh . Whether or-not we are willing that. the sacred rights of workmen and employers shall be sacrificed by hasty inter- : * ferences of a Chief Executive, under campaign influences; BEST LAW FOR WAGE-EARNERS x THEN VOTE FOR ; No laws are of so much concern to the American wage-carner as laws which provide him abundant opportunity for employment and protect him against competition with the low-priced labor employed in manufacture abroad. - No Democratic tariff act does that. Every Republican tariff act does. Under the existing Underwood tariff the importations of ail kinds are enormously increasing. In the single item of ; manufactures ready for consumption—the finished product of cheap labor and in direct competi- tion with the workmen in this country—the imports for August this year were $32,628,991. This for a single mortfn. For twelve mohths imports in this particular classification will amount ai [ ) this rate to $391,547,802, an amount greater than any year under any Republican tariff. XS (A0 AXICL XX XA When peace is restored there will be no limit to importations under the present non-pro- 3 tective tari%, and all these imports displace so much of American made goods In American : .

Unless a Republican President and Congress are elected next month the present tariff for Prcs1dent will remain in force. 1 ‘Thomas Jefferson, writer of ‘1ne Declaration of Independence k\v‘.u.,.m.....
