be friends and may work 8ucc88fully
together in converting our nation's
resource.-: into material wealth. (Ap
plausp.) Take the trust question. Our party
says that there should be no privato
monopoly. Tho republican party says,
"Do not kill the trusts; just regulate
them." We say, "Prevent the organi
zation of a trust." Tho republican
leaders say, "No, don't do that; cre
ate the trust and start it out and then
take after it and try to overtake it."
(Applause). They have tried to over
take the trust for eleven years and
the trus is gaining on tho republican
party. Tho trusts are farther ahead
now than they wero eleven year, ago.
There are five times as many trusts
today as there wero when the repub
lican party came into power in March,
1897, and yet tho republican platform
congratulates tho country on tho pro
pros tiw the party has made on the
trust question.
We soy trie private monopoly is in
defensible and intolerable. We draw
the line and say that beyond it the
corporation shall not go in attempting
to control the products in which it
deals. That is our plan. We draw
the line at 50 per cent. If you say
it ought to be higher, I will discuss
it with you. If you say it ought to be
lower, I will discuss it with you. But
when you' say there ought to be no
limit, I will not discuss it with you at
all. (Applause.)
Dr. Hughes came out from New
York to teach western republicans and
rebuke western' democrats. He found
fault with our plan, but he had no
plan of ai own. I have thought it
might be illustrated in this way: A
man is sick; his physician prescribes
a remedy, and just as the Bick man
is about to take it in comes Dr.
Hughes of New York, and the doctor
says, "What, are you going to tako
that medicine? What, a' medicine like
that? Why, it is ridiculous, it is ab
surd." And then he laughs heart?Iy
and goes out and reads the papers
without giving relief. (Applause,)
Now if Mr. Hughes will give hjs
remedy I will discuss his remedy, and
I will compare his remedy with ours;
but if Mr. Hughes has no remedy he
had better go back to New York and
prepare himself to veto another 2-cent
rate bill. (Applause.)
We have a plan: the republicans
have no plan. The republican leaders i
refuse to recognize the dangers that
threaten the people. Thore is the dif
ference of the two parties on the trust
question.
And what shall I say. on the tariff
question? My friends I am somewhat
embarrassed when I com to discuss
the -tariff because their tariff plank is
so bad you know how bad that tariff
plank is? Why, that tariff is so bad
that the editor of the Bee took it for
one of my speeches. (Laughter.) In
eighteen years I have had a good many
harsh things said about me, some
slanderous, some libelous things, but
of all the things ever said nothing has
cut me so deeply as to be accused of
writing tne republican platform. (Ap
plause and cheers.)
And yet my friends I am willing to
forgive him because out of it has
come good. The fact that the editor
thought it was my speech gave him
an oportunlty to express himself fully
upon it. (Applause and laughter.)
And as a result of that mistake more
truths got into the Bee's editorial page
that day than has been in it since the
twenty years I have known it. (Ap
plause.) But if the editor would
write that scathing an editorial about
that part of the plank I would give a
dollar to get his candid opinion of tho
rest of that plank. (Applause.) I
,ir,n'f unnw hut what I will risk a dol
lar I'll ask the mayor to give the edi
tor of the -u.ee this dollar If he will
just assume that I wrote the balance
of that tariff plank and tell us what
he :thinks about it. (Great ap-
nlollCO
A"""""'' .. t. ,ln Moirni'
Dahlman a dollar.)
Why, my friends, I used to buy
books on humor when 1 wanted to
read something funny, but I found it
was a wasto of money, for I could find
more funny things In tho republican
platform than in tho writing of pro
fessional humori8t&. And tho first
part of that tariff plank presonta a
fair samplo of what can bo said that
Is funny and yot bo said seriously.
Have you read that plank? It begins
something like this: "Tho republican
party declares unequivocally in favor
of a revision of tho tariff at a special
session of congress to bo called imme
diately after Inauguration."
Now there is a promise. They havo
promised "unequivocally" to "revise"
the tariff "immediately." What is that
word "unequivocally" doing in there?
Why do they promise "unequivoc
ally." It is distinguished from the old
ones that have not been kopt.
They have promised equivocally be
fore and now they promise unequivoc
ally. (ApplauBe.) If you want to know
how that word will demoralize a man's
credit try it at the bank. (Laughter.)
Go to tho bank and arrange for a loan;
agree upon the amount and the rate
of interest and security and then tho
cashier will push out a noto under
tho grating for you to sign. When
you read it over you will find it
rcadB like this: "For value , received,
wo or either of us, promise' to pay."
Now tako your pen and write in bo
fore or after the word "promise" the
word "unequivocally,'' push it back and
watch the cashier. Ho will mako you
get another indoreer on tho note. It
arouses his .suspicion at once. (Ap
plause.) If a man's .promise is good
he don't need the word unequivoc
ally" and if it is bad it makes It
worse. (Applause.) And yet they
put it in tho republican platform.
(Laughter.) But yet It Is -no worse
than tho word "immediately:" Why
they havo had eleven years in -which
to do. Why are they in such a
hurry now? They're down on their
knees, they're begging: "Oh, lot
us in once more, and wo will do 'im
mediately' what we ought to have
done years ago." (Great applause).
And yet I have sometimes wondered
If there might bo another explanation
of these words. I havo wondered if
they may not havo said, "unequivoc
ally" and "immediately" to make you
laugh so heartily so that you would
not notice that the word "reduction"
does not appear at all. What is it that
they have promised unequivocally; to
do immediately? It Is to revise flie
tariff. And what does revise mean?
Why, it may mean to revise it up or
it may mean to revise ft down, "and
Mr. Taft sayd it means both. (Ap
plause). He says revise some sche
dules up and revise some schedules
down. I kept demanding that hofojl
us what he meant by revision, and at
Milwaukee he said that it meant a
genuine revision. Then I got a third
word "unequivocally, immediate, gen
uine." (Applause.) But genuine does
not appear In the platform. That is
an amendment. There is not any
genuine in the platform. (Applause
and cheers.) I kept insisting that ho
tell us whether he would revise it up
or down, and at Cedar Rapids, la.,
he said that the revision would prob
ably be downward. Then I got a fourth
w b r d "unequivocally, immediately,
genuine, probably." That is as far as
they have got so far, and only two
weeks yet remaining. (Laughter and
applause.)
Our platform says reduction. Wo
say how to commence and how to pro
ceed. Commence with the tariff on
articles that come Into competition
with' trust made goods. Put those ar
ticles on the free list But Mr. Taft
says that would be bad; so does every
trust magnate In the country say that
that would be bad. But Mr. Taft for
gets that the trust magnate will have,
all the time between the enactnienfc
of the law and the date on which it
takes effect to choose whether he will
