A VOICE FROM WALL STREET
Tiie Independent thought it found
something great when, in looking
around for something to apply as an
answer to a pointed question in The
Frontier, it run across an associated
press dispatch from Wasington con
cerning a conference of republican
leaders with the president. It quotes
the whole thing—which, by the way,
lias about as much bearing on our
question as Milton’s “Paradise Lost”
—and puts in “caps” this much of it:
"It was permitted to become known
after Mr. Cortelyou’s arrival here that
ho has been assured of abundant funds
with which to conduct a winning
campaign.”
What this lias to do witli
our query that if President Roosevelt
was Wall street’s candidate why did
Wall street force Parker’s nomination
we don’t know. Parker is notoriously
the favorite of the plutocrats, and the
Independent knows it. The Frontier
calls the Independent’s attention to
the testimony of the Wall Street
Journal, the oitlcial organ of the
money kings, which says:
“It is safe to say that while Wall
street will contribute to the campaign
fund of both political parties tills year
the largest share of campaign money
will go to Judge Parker. Very con
fident assersions are made by local
democratic politicians that there will
be AN Y AMOUNT OF STANDARD
OIL MONEY FOR PARKER. The
hatred of the ‘high finance’ for Presi
dent Roosevelt is undiminished, and,
indeed, rather refreshed by the hope
of defeating him. He is unforgiven,
because he is unrepentant. IT IS
STILL IN WALL STREET AS IT
WAS IN FEBRUARY, 1903. ANY
THING TO BEAT ROOSEVELT.”
What do you think ot this testimony
direct from headquarters? Assuredly
our esteemed contemporary knows that
the great and ravenous representa
tives of the plutocratic combines are
straining every bloated sinew to defeat
ltoosevelt because he stands with the
great common people; it knows that
there are many democrats and popu
lists on its own list of readers who as
between Parker and Roosevelt a thous
and times prefer the latter. The In
dependent professes to be populist in
politics, but its attitude toward the
national candidates can be construed
in no other way than it has sold
itself to the Hill crowd.
M. F. Harrington comes out in the
World-Herald with an able discussion
of the fusion question in Nebraska,
ne virtually sets himself against
fusion by demanding that the candid
ate for governor be one pledged to
vote for Watson — in other words,
fusion on state and division on
national issues. Two of the ablest
populists in the state, Harrington and
Allen, are now arrayed against fusion
and they will come pretty nearly hav
ing their way.
It is amusing to read some of the
democratic state papers since the
nomination of Parker. Those chaps
who are so wedded to the name “dem
ocrat” that they would support any
sort of contradictory men or measures
are now explaining their reversal of
themselves on the grounds that “it is
a cadinal principle of democracy that
a majority should rule.” It also ap
pears to be a cardinal doctrine with
the democrats to humbug the public
if they can.
When'it comes to a showdown, the
European isn’t in it in any sense of
the word. This has just been dem
onstrated again by the American
athletes from Yale and Harvard
winning six out of nine over the
llower of the British Isles.
STIRING PARAGRAPHS
From President Roosevelt’s Speech
of Acceptance.
Three years ago I became President
because of the death of my lamented
predecessor. I then stated that it
was my purpose to carry out his prin
ciples and policies for the honor and
tlic interest of the country. To the
best of my ability I have kept the pro
mise thus made. If next November
my countrymen confirm at tfie polls
the action of the convention you re
present, I shall, under Providence,
continue to work with an eye single
to the, welfare of all our people.
We who have been intrusted with
power as public servants during the
past seven years of administration
and legislation now come before the
people content to be judged by our re
cord of achievement. In the years
that have gone by we have made the
deed square with the word; and if we
are continued in power we shall un
swervingly follow out the great lines
of public policy which the Republican
party has already laid down; a public
to which we are giving and shall give,
a united, and therefore an ettlcient,
support.
In all of this we arc more fortunate
than our opponents, who now appeal
for confidence on the ground, which
some express and some seek to have
confidentially understood, that if
triumphant they may be trusted to
prove false to every principle which in
the last eight years they have laid
down as vital, and to leave undisturb
ed those every actsl of the administra
tion because of which they ask that
the administration itself be driven
from power.
Seemingly their present attitude as
to their past record is that some of
them were mistaken and others in
sincere.
Our opponents, either openly or
secretly, according to their several
temperaments, now ask the people to
trust their present promises in con
sideration of the fact that they intend
to treat their past promises as null
and void. We know our own minds
and wo have kept of the same mind
for a sufficient length of time to give
to our policy coherence and sanity.
In dealing with the great organiza
tions known as trusts, we do not have
to explain why the laws were not en
forced, but to point out that they
actually have been enforced and that
legislation has been enacted to in
crease the effectiveness of their en
forcement. We do not have to pro
pose to "turn the rascals out,’’ for we
have shown in every deed that when
ever by diligent investigation a public
official can be found who lias betrayed
his trust lie will be punished to the
full extent of the law without regard
to whether he was appointed under a
republican or a demacratic adminis
tration. _
We know what we mean when we
speak of an honest and stable curren
cy. We mean the same thing from
year to year. We do not have to avoid
a definite and conclusive committal
on the most important issue which
may at any time in the near future
be before them again.
Upon the principles which underlie
this issue the convictions of half of
our number do not clash with those
of the other half. So long as the re
publican party is in power the gold
standard is settled, not as a matter
of temporary political expediency,
not because of shifting conditions in
the production of gold in certain min
ing centers, but in accordance with
what we regard as the fundamental
principles of national morality and
wisdom. _
In the fiscal year that has just clos
ed the excess of income over the or
dinary expenditures was nine millions
of dollars. This does not take account
of the fifty millions expended out of
the accumulated surplus for the pur
chase of the Isthmian Canal. It is an
extraordinary proof of the sound finan
cial condition of the nation that in
stead of following the usual course in
such matters and throwing the bur
ten upon posterity by an issue of
bonds, we were able to make the pay
ment outright and yet after it to have
in the Treasury a surplus of one
hundred and sixty-one millions.
Moreover, we were able to pay this
fifty millions of dollars out of hand,
without causing the slightest distur
bance to business conditions.
That whenever the need arises there
should be readjustment of the tariff
schedules is undoubted; but such
changes can with safety be made
only by those whose devotion to the
principle of protective tariff is beyond
question; for otherwise the changes
would amount not to readjustment
but to repeal. The readjustment
when made must maintain and not
destroy the protective principle.
We believe in reciprocity with for
eign nations on the terms outlined in
President McKinley’s last speech,
which urged the extension of our for
eign markets by reciprocal agreements
whenever they could be made with
out injury to American industry and
labor. _
It is a singular fact that the only
great reciprocity treaty recently
adopted—that with Cuba—was finally
opposed almost alone by the represen
tatives of the very party which now
states that it favors reciprocity. And
here again we ask that the worth of
our words be judged by comparing
their deeds with ours.
We recognize the organization of
capital and the organization of labor
as natural outcomes of our industrial
system. Each kind of organization is
to be favored so long as it acts in a
spirit of justice and of regard for the
rignts of others. Each is to be granted
the full protection of the law, and
each in turn is to be held to a strict
obedience to the law, for no man is
above it, and no man below it. The
humblest individual is to have his
rights safeguarded as scrupuously as
those of the strongest organization,
for each is to receive justice, no more
and no less. The problems with
which we have to deal in our modern
industrial and social life are manifold;
but the spirit in which it is necessary
to approach their solution is simply
the spirit of honesty, of courage, and
of common sense.
