As regards business prosperity, the

The development of the trusts in
later years has heen euoimous. out
since they have a direct Influence on
tho lives of cverv one, radical meas
ures should be adopted only with
neliberatlon. 'Publicit should be
demanded in the managment of the
trusts, he said tho full and accurate
reports of their doings should como
to the eves of tho people.
Tho labor question is one which
the president regards as more import
ant than any other exceot the re
claiming of arid lands. It is a ques
tion of the relation of man to man.
As rcga-ds the exclusion of the Chin
ese the president is positive and era
pathlc. He says they live on a low
scale and should not bo allowed to
compote with the American laborer.
The immigration laws or the
United States should be applied In
such a way as to exclude paupers,
criminals and anarchists. Certain
changes are suggested in the laws
now in force.

uot Gotinlte hi saying how changes
should he maao.
Tho merchant marine should be

ai a territory. Porto Klco is thriv
ing, Cuba Is boing prepared for inde
pendence. There is a great" problem
to bo met with in the Philippines.
To leave the natives free in their
present condition would be to invite
a state of anarchy.
No nation stands so much for
peace as does tho United States, but
bbe must prepare for war.' The navy
should bo increased and made effec
tive. No Increase Is necessary in the
army.
We must continue to advocate the
