Capital sad Labor.
A. for what our opponent, .ay ln ref
erence to capital and labor. Individual or
corporate, here again all we need by way
of answer la to point to what w. hav.
actually done and to say that If con
tinued ln power we snail continue to
carry out the policy w. hav. been pr
sulng. and to execute the law. aa resolutely
and fearlessly In the future as w. hav.
executed them In the past. In my speech
of acceptance I said:
"We recognise the organisation of capi
tal and the organization of labor as natural
outcome, of our Industrial system. Each
kind of organisation Is to be favored so
long aa It acta In a spirit of Justice and of
a!Lrd for the rights of others. Each 1.
to be granted the full protection of th.
law, and each ln turn Is to be held to a
strict obedience to the law; for no man Is
above It and no man below It. Tho hum
blest Individual is to hsve his right, safe
guarded as scrupulously a. thos. of th.
strongest organization, for each 1. to re
ceive justice, no more and no less. The
problems with which we have to deal la
our modern Industrial and social life are
manifold; but the spirit ln which It Is
necessary to approach their, solution 1.
simply the spirit of honesty, of courage
and of common .enae."
The action c? the attorney general ln
enforcing the autl-truat and Interatate
commerce lam and the action of the laat
congress In enlarging the scope of the in
terstate commerce law, and In creating the
Department of Commerce and Labor, with
a bureau of corporation., bav. for th.
flrat tlm. opened a chance for th. national
government to deal Intelligently and ade
quately with the question, affecting so
ciety, whether for good or evil, because of
the accumulation of capital In great cor
porations, and because of the nsw rela
tions caused thereby. These laws are now
being administered with entire efficiency;
and as. In their working, need I. shown for
amendment or addition to them whether
better to ancure the proper publicity, o;
better to guarantee the right, of ship
pers, or In any other direction thia need
will be met. It Is now asserted "that th.
common law, as developed, affords a com
plete legal remedy against monopolies."
But there la no common law of the L'nlted
Htates. Its rulea can be enforced only by
the atate courts and ofllcera. No federal
court or officer oould take any action
whatever under them. It waa thla fact,
coupled with the Inability of the atate. to
control truat. and monopolies, which led
to the passage of the federal statutes
known aa the Sherman anti-trust act
and the Interstate commerce act; and
It I. only through th. exercl. of the pow
er, conferred by thes. acta, and by th.
atatutes of the laat oongree. .upplementlng
them that the national government ao
nulre. any jurisdiction ever th subject.
monopolies should be limited to the ap
plication of the common law I. equivalent
to saying that the national government
should tak. no action whatever to regulate
them.
Undoubtedly, th. multiplication of truat.
and their Increase In rower ha. been
largely due to the "failure of official,
charged with th. duty of enforcing the
law to take the necessary procedure." Such

So fsr ss the light, of the Individual

as regards the public, and as regards or

oursnlrs mindful of them, we have neon
scrupulously careful on the other hand to
be mo'lerate ln our promises, and on the
other hand to keep these promises In letter
and In spirit. Our opponents hav. been
bsmpercd by such considerations. i ney
have promised, and many of them now
premise, action which they could by no
possibility take In the exercise of constutl-
tionai power, and wnicn. ir auempiea,
would bring business to a standstill; they
have used, and often now use, language
of wild Invective and appeal to all the
baser passions which tend to excite one
set of Americans against their fellow
Americans; and yet whenever thepy have
had power they have fittingly supplemented
this extravagance of promise by absolute
nullity ln performance.
Not aa Easy Ideal.
This government Is based upon the funda
mental idea that each man, no matter what
his occupation, bis race or his religious be
lief. Is entitled to be treated on his worth
as a man, and neither favored nor discrim
inated 8 wains t because of any acclden. In
his position. Even here at home there Is
painful difficulty In the effort to reabxe this
Ideal, and the attempt to secure from other
nations acknowledgment of It sometime,
encounters obstacle, that are well nigh In
superable; for there are many nations
which In the slow procession of the eges
have not yet reached that point where the
principles which American, regard as axio
matic obtain any recognition whatever. One
of the chief difficulties arise, ln connection
with certain American citizens ef foreign
birth, or of particular creed, who desire to
travel abroad. Russia, for Instance, refuses
to admit and protect Jews. Turkey refuses
to admit and protect certain sects of Chris
tians. This government has consistently
demanded equal protection abroad for all
American cltixens, whether native or natu
ralised. On March 27.' lSf9. Secretary Hay
sent a letter of Instruction, to all the diplo
matic and consular officer, of the United
States. In which he said: "This depart
ment doe. not discriminate between native-
born and naturalised cltlsens In according
pealed apnin and again, and are treated as
tne tunamentai ruie or connuci iaia aown
for them, proceeding upon the theory "that
all naturalized citizens of the United States
while In foreign countries are entitled to
and shall receive from this government the
same protection of persons and property
which Is acccrded to native-born cltlsens.
ln Issuing passports the State department
never discriminates, or alludes to any
man's religion, and ln granting to every
American citizen, native or naturalised,
Christian or Jew, the same passport, so far
aa It has power it Insists that all foreign
governments shall accept the passport as
prima facie proof that the person therein
described Is a citizen nf the United States
and entitled to protection as such. It is a
standing order to every American diplo
matic and consular officer to protect every
American citizen, of whstever faith, from
unjust molestation; and our officers abroad
have ben stringently required to comply
with his order. .
Inconsistency of the Opposition.
Under aurh circumstances, tho demand
of our opponents that negotiations be be
gun to secure equal treatment of all Ameri
cans from those governments which do not
now accord it, shows either Ignorance ,of
the facts or Insincerity. No change of
policy In the method r mnnnerof nego
tiation would add effectiveness to what the
State department has done and is doing.
The steady pressure which the department
has been keeping up in the past will be
continued In the future. This administra
tion has on all proper occasions given clear
expression to the belief of the American
people that discrimination and oppression
because of religion, wherever practiced,
are acts of Injustice before Ood and mnn;
and In making evident to the world the
depth of American convictions ltj thla re
gard we have gone to the very limit of
alplonintic usage. '
It Is s striking evidence of onr opponents'
Insincerity In this matter that with their
demand for radical action by the State de
partment they couple a demand for a re
duction In our small military establishment.
Tet they must know that the heed pnld to
our protests against Ill-treatment of our
cltlsens will be exactly prouortlon&te to the
belief In our ability to make these protests
effective should the need arise.
Our opponents have now declared them
selves In favor of the civil service law, the
reptn- of which thev demanded In 1J0 and
In 1$9& If consistent, they should have
rone one tep further and congratulated
the country upon the way In which the
civil service law Is now administered, nnd
the way In which the classified service has
been extended. The exceptions from ex
aminations are fewer by far than ever be
fore, and are conflmad to Individual cases,
where the sppllcatloW of the rules would he
Impracticable, unwise, unjust or unneces
sary. The administration of the great body
of the classified clvfl service Is free from
politics, and appointments and removals
have been put upon a business basis. Sta
tistic, .how that there la little difference
between the tenure of the federal classi
fied employe, and that nf the employee f
private business corporations. Less than 1
per rent of the classified employe, ar
over TO year, of age, and In the main th.
service rendered la rigorous and efficient.
Where the merit system was. of course.
most needed waa In the Philippine Islands;
and a oivti service law or very advanced
type has there been nut Into operation and
scrupulously observed. Without one excep
tion every appointment In the Philippines
has been made In accordance with the
strictest standard of fitness, and wlthotit
need to any other consideration.
Finally, we come to certain matters v.pcn
which our opponent, do In their platform
or principle, aenniteiy tnae issue with us,
and where. If they are alneere. their Mi.
umph would mean dlaaater to the country.
But exactly aa .t Is Impossible to call at
tentlon to the piesent promise, and past
record of our opponent, without seeming
offensive. - so It Is Impossible to comoara
their platform with their others. nd later
omciai utterances and not create doubt a'
to their sincerity. In their private or 'in
official utterances manv of them franVW
advance thla Insincerity aa a merit, raking
the position that aa regarda the polnta on
which I am about to speak they have no
Intention of keeping their promises or cf

doubt as to whether our opponents do or
do not mesn what they say. They .ay
that "protection Is roblwry." and promise
to carry themselves accordingly If they
are given power. Yet prominent persons
among them assert that they do not really
mean this and that If they come Into power
they will adopt our policy as regards tariff;
while others seem anxious to prove that
It Is safe to aive them partial power, be
cause the power would be only partial, and
therefore they would not be able to do
mischief. The last Is certainly a curious
file, to advance on behalf of a party aeek
r.g to obtain control of the government.
At the outset It Is worth while to say a
word as to the attempt to Identify the
question of tariff revision or tariff reduc
tion with a solution of the trust question.
This Is always a sign of desire to avoid
any real effort to deal adequately with
the trust question. In speaking on this
point at Minneapolis, on April 4, 1903, I
said:
"The question of tariff revision, speaking
broadly, stands wholly apart from the
question of dealing with the trusts. No
change In tariff duties can have any sub
stantial fffert In solving the so-calied
trust problem. Certslnly great trusts or
great corporations are wholly unaffected
by the tariff. Almost all the others that
are of any Importance have as a matter of
fact numbers of smaller American com
petitors; and of course a change In the
tariff hleh would work Injury to the
large corporation weuld work not merely
injury but Destruction to Its smaller com
petitors; and equally of course such a
change would mean disaster to all the
wage workers connected with either the
large or small corporations From the
stsndpolnt of those Interested In the solu
tion of the trust problem such a change
would therefore merely mean that the
trust waa relieved of the competition of Its
weaker A merles n competitors and thrown
only into competition with foreign com
petitors; and that the first effort to meet
this new competition would be made by
cutting down wages snd would therefore
be primarily at the cost of labor. In the
case of some of our greatest trust, such
a change might confer upon them a posi
tive benefit. Speaking broadlv. It Is evi
dent that the changes In the tariff will
affect the trusts for weal or for woe slmnlv
a. they affect the whole country ' The
tariff acts only as It affects all other In
terests. It makes all these Interests, large
or .mall, profitable; and its benefits can
be taken from the large only under penalty
of taking them from the small also.
Effects at Latest Attempt.
There la little for me to add to this. It
Is but ten years since the last attempt was
niaae, cy means ol lowering the larltl, to
prevont some people lrom prospering too
much. The attempt was entirely success
lul. The tariff law of that year waa among
ths causes which in mm year and for
some time afte.-wards etltctualiy prevented
anybody from prospering too much and
labor lrom prospering at all. Undoubt
edly It would be possible at the preeenl
time to prevent any or the trusts from
remaining prosperous by the simple ex
pedient, of mailing such a sweeping change
in the taiift aa to paralyze the industries
of the country. The trusts would cease to
prosper; but then 4n.aller competitors
would be ruined and the wage workers
would starve, while It would nut pay the
farmer to haul his products to market.
Th. evils connected with the trust, can be
reached only by rational effort, step by
step, along the line, taken by congress
and the executive during the last three
years. If a tariff law Is passed under
which the country prospers, as the country
has prospered under the present tariff law,
thea all classes will shar. ln the pros
perity. If a tariff law la paased aimed at
preventing the proaperlty of some of our
people. It is as certain as anything can
oe that this aim will be achleva only by
cutting down the prosperity of all our
people.
Oi course. If our opponents are not sin
cere ln their proposal to abolish the system
of a protective tariff, there la no use In
arguing the matter at all. save by pointing
out again that if on one arrest laaue thev
do not mean what they say, It la hardly
saie to trust tnem on any other issue. But
if they are sincere ln this matter, then
their advent to power would mean domeeite
misfortune and misery as widespread and
far-reaching as that which we saw ten
yeara ago. Whem they speak of protection
aa "robbery" they of course must mean
that It Is Immoral to enact a tariff designed
(as 1. the present protective tariff) to se
cure to the American wage worker the
benefit of the high standara of living which
we desire to see kept up ln this country.
inow to speaa or tne tarin in this sense ao
Tohbery. ' thereby s-ivlna- It a moral rela
tion, Is not merely rhetorical ; It i. on its
face false. The question ol what tariff Is
best for our people U primarily one of ex
pediency, tobe determined not on abstract
academic grounds, but ln the light of ex
perience, it is a matter of business; for
fundamentally ours is buslnnas neonla
manufacturers, merchants, farmers, wage
workers, professional i .1. all alike. Our
experience as a people the past has cer-
luiiuy nui Hiiuwn us in it we could afford
in this matter to folioi. those professional
counsellors who hare -ontined themselves
to study ln the closet; for the actual work
ing of the tariff has emphatically contra
dieted their theories. From time to time
schedules must undoubtedly be rearranged
and readjusted to meet the shirting .needs
of the country; but this can with safety be
done only by th-se who are committed to
the cause of the inotectlve svstem. To up
root and destroy that system would be to
Insure the prostration of business, the clos
ing of factories, the Impoverishment of the
farmer, the ruin of the capitalist and the
starvation of the wage worker.' Yet, If
protection Is Indeed robbery." and If our
opponents really believe w"iat thev say,
then It Is precisely to the destruction and
uprooting of tho tariff, and therefore of our
business and industry, that they are
pledged. When our opponents last obtained
power It was on a platform declaring a pro
tective tariff "unconstitutional;" and the
effort to put this declaration into practice
was one of the causes of the general na
tional prostration hinting from 1S93 to 1897
If a protective tralff Is either "uneonstltu.
tlonal" or "robbery," then It Is Just as un
constitutional. Just as much robbery to re
vise it down, still leaving It protective, as
It would be to enact It. In other words
our opponents havo commuted themselves
to the destruction of the protective prin
ciple In the tariff, using words which, if
honestly ueed. forbid them from permitting
V i'hiicii-mo io ouiHin in even tno smallest
degree. '
Reciprocity and
Denioerae'.
Our opponents assert that they believe in
reciprocity. Their action on the most Im
portant reciprocity treaty recently nctio
tlatedthat with Cuba does not bear out
this assertion. Moreover, there can be no
reciprocity unless there Is a substantia,
tariff; free trade and reciprocity are not
compatible. We are on record as favoring
arrangements for reciprocal trade rela
tions with other countries, these arrange
ments to be on an equitable basis of bene
fit to both the contracting parties. The
republican party stands pledged to every
wise and consistent method of increasing
the foreign commerce of the country.
That it lias kvpt Its pledge la proven by trie
fact that while the domestic trude of this
country exceeds In volume the entire ex
port and Import trade of all the nations of
the world, the l'nlted States has In addi
tion secured more tlian an eighth of the
expoit trade of the world, standing flrat
aiimig the nations ln this respect. Tne
United Urates has ei.ported during the last
seven years nearly 10.uipo.OW.uh' wor;h of
goods .m an uveiuge half as much again
annually as during the previous four wara
wnen imauy m our people were cunruming
nothing but necessaries, and some of them
a sc tniy supply even of these.
Two years ago, in speaking at Logans
port, Ind., I said:
"The one consideration which must never
be omitted In a tariff i?hana" Is the im
perative need of preserving the American
standard of living for the .tmrrican work
lngnian. The tariff rate niunt never fall
below that which will protect the Ameri
can worklngman by allowing for the dlf
ference between the general labor cost here
and ubroud, so as at least to equalise the
conditions arising from th. difference In the
standard of labor here nnd ubroad ev dif
ference which It should be our aim to fos
ter, in so rar as it represents the needs of
better educated, better mid. better fed
and
better clothed workinismen of a higher type
men any iu oe iuuiiu in a roreiri countrv
At all hazards, and ni matter what else U
sought for or accomplished by changes in
the tariff, the American worklngman must
be proterted In his standard of wages, that
la. In his standard of living, and must be
secured the fullest opoprtur.lty of employ
ment. Our lawa should n no event af
ford advantage to forelgr. Industries over
American Industries. Tiey should In no
event do less than equaMse the difference
In conditions at home ar.d abroad."
Poller DeSnltely Established.

In the result, that have been proved over

Amer (n people had not posaesaed the

Aence to turn their vaat material

'".-tie that it la our economic policy aa re
gards the tariff nnd finance which has en
abled us as a nation to make such good. use
of the Individual capacities of our rlticens,
and the natural rueourcea of our country.
Every olasa of our people la benefited by
the protective tariff. Imrtng the laat few
saara th. merchant ba teen the x4qrt
trade of thla country grow faster than
ever In our prevloua history. The manu
facturer could not keep his factory run
ning if It were not for the protective tariff.
The wage-worker would do well to remem
ber that If protection la "robbery." nd Is
to be punished accordingly, l.e will be the
first to psy the penalty; for either ho will
be turned adrift entirely, or his wages
wtll be cut down to the starvation point.
A. conclusively shown by the bulletins of
the bureau of labor, the purchasing power
of the average wage received by the wage
worker has grown faster than the cost of
living, and this ln spite of the continual
shortening of working hours. The accumu
lated savings of ths worktnrmen of the
country, ss shown by the d-poslta In the
savings banks, have Increased by leans and
bounds. At no time In the history of this
or any other country has there be, n an
era so productive of msterisl benefit alike
to working-men and employer, as during
the seven years that have j'ist passed.
Faraers Have Benefited.

men. The chief agencies In producing this
distsibutlon are shown by the census to
be the development of manufactures, and
the application of new Inventions to uni
versal use. The result ha. been an In
creaalng Interdependence of agriculture and
manufactures. Agriculture is now, as It
always has been, the. basis of clviliiatlon.
The six million farm, of the l'nlted Slates,
operated by men who, as a class, are stead
fast, single-minded and Industrious,-, form
the basis of all the other achievements nf
the American people snd are more fruit
ful than all their other resources. The
men on those 6.oro.ou farms receive from
the protective tariff what they most need,
and tbst Is the best of all possible mar
kets. All other classes depend upon the
farmer, but the farmer In turn depends
upon the market thev furnish him for his
produce. The ann;,! output of our nart-
cuuurai products is nearly M.t".in.U".
Their Increase In value has been
prodigious, although agrh-uiture has lan
guished in most other countries; and the
rialn factor In this Increase Is the cor.
responding Increase of our manufacturing
Industries. Amerlcsn farmers have pro
pered because the growth t their market
has kept pace wltn the growth of their
farms. The additional maiet continually
furnished for agricultural products by do
mestic manufactures has lin iir in er
cess of the outlet to other lands. An ex
port trade In farm rrotlucis is n-:i.nrj
to dispose or our surplus; en i the export
trade of our farmers, both in animal
firoducts and ln plant products, has verv
argely Increased. Without the enlarged
home market to keep this surplus down,
we should have to reduce production or
else feed the world at less than the cost
of production. In the forty years ending
In 1900 the total value of farm property
Increased $li.Wi,onn.no, the farmer fnlnl-iir
even more during this period than the manu
facturer. Long ago overproduction wou d
have checked the marvlous deve'opmetit f
our national agriculture but for the steadily
Increasing demand of American manufac
tures for farm products required as raw
materials for steadily expanding Industries.
The farmer has become dependent upon
the manufacturer to utilize that portion of
his produce which does not go directlv to
food supply. In 1900 62 per cent, or a little
over half, of the total value of the farm
products of the . nation was consumed In
manufacturing industries as the taw ma
terials of the factories. Evidently the
manufacturer Is the farmer-, best and most
direct customer. Moreover, the American
manufacturer purchases his farm supplies
almost exclusively In his own country.
Nine-tenths of all the raw materi
als of every kind and description consumed
ln American manufactories are of Amer
ican production. The manufacturing estab
lishments tend steadily to migrate into the
heart of the rreat agricultural districts
The center of the manufacturing Industry
In 19C0 was near tho middle of Ohio, and it
Is moving westward at the'.rate of about
thirty miles ln every decadV; and this
movement Is invariably accompanied by a
marked increase In the value of farm lands.
Local causes, notably the competition be
tween new farm lands and old farm lard,
tend here and there to obscure what Is hap
pening; but It Is as certain as the opera
tion of any economic law that In the coun
try as a whole farm values will continue to
Increase a. the partnership between manu
facturer and farmer grows more Intimate
through further advance of Industrial
science. The American manuracturer never
could have placed this nation at the head
of the manufacturing nations of the world
11 ne nuu not naa D"nna nim yecuring ni-n
every variety of raw materlnl, the exhaust-
Iras resources of the American farm, dsvel-
oped hy the skill snd the enterprise of In-
telligent and educated American farmers,
On the other hand, the debt of the farmers
to tne manufacturers Is equally -heavy, end
the future of American agriculture is bound
up In the future of American manufactures.
The two Industries have beco'Se under the
economic policy of our gberhment. so
closely ln'.erwoven. so rmituhllv inter-dependent,
hat neither can hope to maintain
Itself at the high-water mark of progress
without the other. Whatever makes to the
advantage of one la equally to the advan
tage of the other. , . i -
Both Sides Intet'eMed.
So It Is as between the capitalist and the
wage worker. Here and there there may be
an unequal sharing as between the two
in the benefits that have come bv protec
tion; but benefits have come to both; and a
reversal in policy would mean damage to
both; and while the damage would be
heavy to all. It would he huiiii i.
would fall soonest, upon those who are paid
ln the form of wanes each weelr , ,r n-n
or each
month
for that week's or that
month's
work.
Conditions change and the laws must be
modified from time to time to fit new exi
gencies. But the genuine underlying prin
ciple of protection, as it has been embodied
in ull but one of the Amerlcsn tarlff-laws
for the last forty years, has worked out re
sults so beneficent, so ewntv o n.i n,MAi
spread, so advantageous alike to farmers
and capitalists and worklngmen. to com
merse and trade of every kind, that the
American people, if they show their usual
practical 4u?lneas sense, will insist ihuf
''"'"these lawa are modified they shall be
uuuiiieu wun ine utmost care and conser
vatism, and by tho friends and not the ene
mies of the protective system. They cannot
afford to trust the modification to those
who treat protection and robbery as syn
onymous terms.
ln closing what I have to say about the
system of promoting American Industry
let me add a word of cordial agreement
with the policy of In some way Including
within lu benefits, by appropriate legisla
tion the American merchant marine. It Is
not creditable to us as a nation that our
great export and Import trade should be
well nlgH exclusively In the hands of for
eigners. It Is difficult to know If our opponents are
rewlly sincere In their demand for the re
duction of the army. If insincere, there I.
no need for comment, and If Blnsere, what
shail we say ln speaking to rational per
nn of an appeal to reduce an army of
60,000 men which Is taking care of the In
terests of over 80.000.0U") people? The army
Is now relatively smaller than It was In
the days of Washington, when on the peace
establishment ther. were i.tiO soldiers.
while there were a little less than 4,(O0.fl"0
of population; smaller than It was In the
peaceful days of Jefferson, when there
were 6.1C0 soldiers to 6.300.000 population.
There Is now one soldier to every 1.400 neo-
ple In this country' less than one-tenth of
one per rent, we cannot be asked seriously
to argue a. to the amount of 'posnlble ty
ranny contained In these figures. The army
sa It is now is as small as it can possibly
b and serve Its purpose as an effective
nucleus for the organization, equipment and
supply of a volunteer army In lime of need.
It Is now used as never before, for aiding
in the upbuilding of the organized mllltla
of the country. The War department Is
engaged In a eystemutlo effort to strengthen
and develop the national guard In the sev
eral states; as witness, among many other
Instances, the great field manoeuvers at
Manassas, which have Just closed. If aur
opponents should come Into power they
could not reduce our srmy below its pres
ent size without greatly impairing Its effi
ciency and abandoning part of the national
duty. In short. In thli matter. If our op.
ponents should come Into power thry would
cither have to treat this particular promise
of the year 1904 as they now treat the
promises they-made In 1S9 and 1!H that
Is. a. possessing no binding force or else
they would have to embark on a polity
which would be ludicrous at the moment
and fraught with grave danger to the na
tional honor in the future.
Cost ef Geveraneal,
Our opponenta contend that the govern
ment la now administered extravagantly
and that whereas there was "a surplus of
o,000,i-oo In 19oo" there Is "a deficit of more
than 4O,0U,0o0" In the year that lias just
closed.
This deficit Is imaginary and la obtained
by Including in the ordinary current ex.
penses the aum of $b0.00t,0uu which waa pala
for the right-of-way of the Panama .anal
out of the accumulated surplus In the
treasury, t'omuarlng the current or ordinary
expenditures tor the two years, there waa
a surolks of nearly I'si.OiO.O'Ai for the year
Urn. and of only a little more than trf.000.ou0
ror the year that haa Just closed. Uut
thla diminution of the annual aurplus was
brought about dealgnedly by the abolition
of the war taxes in the Interval between
the two dates. The acts of March 2, 1M01.
and April 12, issra, cut down the Internal
revenue taxes to an amount estimated at
I106.i-Cm.000 a year. In other words, ths re
duction of taxation has been considerably
greater than th. reduction In the annual
aurplus. Bine. th. clos. of th. war with
Bpaln there haa been no substantial change
In the rate of annual expenditures. As
compared with the fiscal year ending In
June, Utti, fur e-uunpla, the uscaj jrsr that
ha. Just closed showed 'a relatively small
Increase In expenditure (excluding the canal
payment alreadv referred to, while th.
year previous showed a relatively smaH de
crease. The expenditures of th nation have been
managed In a spirit of economy, ss far re
moved from waste as from niggardliness.,
and ln the future every effort wtll be con
tinued to secure an economy a. atrlct a. la
consistent with efficiency. Once more our
opponenta have promtaed what they cannot
or ahould not perform. The prime reason
why the expenses of the government have
Increased In recent years Is tc be found In
the fact that the people, after mature
thought, have deemed It wise to have cer
tsln new forms of work for the f ul-llc un
dertaken by the public. This ncceseltatee
such expenditures, for Instance, a. those
for rural free delivery or for the Inspection
of meats under the Department of Agricul
ture, or for irrigation. But these new ex
penditure, .re necessary, no one would
seriously propose to abandon them, and
yet It Is Idle to declaim against the In
creased expense of the government unless
It 's intended to rut down the very ex
penditures which cause the Increase. The
pensions to the veterana vf lhe rlvll war
are demanded by every aentltce' t of re
gard and gratitude. The rurel free de
livery l. of the greatest use ard con
venience to the farmers, a tody of men I
who live under conditions wnich mak-
them ordinarily receive little direct return
for what they pay toward the support of
the government. The Irrigation policy In f
tne ann and semi-arid regions or tne wi
Is one fraught with the most beneficent and
far-reaching good to the actual aettlrfs
the home-makers, whose encouragement Is
a traditional feature In America s national
policy. Do our opponents grudge the
IM.OUO.OOO paid for the Panama canal? Do
they intend to cut down on the pensions to
the veterans of the civil war? Do they
Intend to put a stop to the Irrigation pol
icy? or to the permanent census bureau?
or to Immigration Inspection? Do they In
tend to abolish rural free delivery? Do
they Intend to cut down the navy? or the
Alaskan telegraph system? Do they Intend
to dlsmsntie our coast fortifications? If
there Is to be a real and substantial rut
ting down In national expenses It must be
ln such matters as these. The Department
of Agriculture has done service of Incal- I
culable value to the farmers of this country
In many different lines. Do our opponent.
wish to cut down the money for this serv
ice? They can do It only by destroying the
usefulness of the service Itself.
Work Sever Better Done.
The public work of the l'nlted State.
hts never been conducted with a higher de
gree of honesty and efficiency than at the
oresent time; and a special meed ot praise
belongs to those officials responsible for
the J'hlllpplnes and Porto Rico, where the
administrations have been models of their
kind. Of course wrong has occasional
occurred, but -It has been relentlessly
stumped out. We have known no party In
dealing with effendors. snd have hun'ed
down without mercy every wrong doer ln
the service of the nation whom It was pos
sible by the utmost vigilance to detect; for
the public servant who betrays his trust
and the private individual who debauches
him stands as the worst criminals, because
their crimes are crimes against th? entire
community, and not only against this gen
eration but agnlnst the generations that
are yet to be.
Promise to the rillplnea.
Our opponents promise Independence to
the Philippine Islands. Here again we are
momentary
political expeoiency to abandon tne prin
ciples upon which they have Insisted ss
essential, conspire to pussle us as to
whether they do or do not Intend In good
faith to carry out this promise If they are
given control ir tne government. In
piatrorm they declare for Independence, ap
parentlyfor their language Is a little ob
scure without qualification as to time; nnd
Indeed a qualification as to time Is an ab
surdity, for we have, neither right
r mwer to bind our successors when It Is
mposrlble to foretell the conditions which
may confront them: while If there Is any
principle involved In the matter It is J ist
as wrong to deny Independence for a few
years aa to deny it for an Indefinite period.
Rut In later and eoually official utterances
by our opponents the term relf-government
was substituted for Independence; the
words used being so chosen that ln their
natural construction thej described pre
cisely the policy now being carried on. The
language of the platform Indicated a rad
ical change or policy: the later utterances
; Indicated a continuance of the present pol-
icy. uut tnis caused trouble in their own
ranks: and In a still later, although less
formal. utterance. the self-government
' promise was recanted, and Independence
t at" some future time was promised In Its
p'nee. They have occupied three ct're'v
I different positions within fifty da vs. Wh'ch
Is the promise they realiy Intend to keep?
Belong; to the Bander-Los;.
' They do not know their own minds; and
no one can tell how. long they would keep
of the same mind, should they by any
chance come to a working agreement
among themselves. If such ambiguity af
fected only the American people it would
not so greatly matter, for the American
people can tatte care of themselvea. But
the Filipinos are In no such condition. Con
fidence is with them a plant of slow growth.
They have been taught to trust the word
of this government because this govern
ment has promised nothing which It did not
perform. If promised independence thpy
will expect Independence; not In the re
mote future, for their descendants, but Im
mediately, for themselves. If the promise
thus made Is not immediately fulfilled they
will regard It as broken, and will not again
trust to American faith; and It would be
Indeed a wicked thing to deceive them in
such fashion. Moreover, even if the prom
ise were made to take effect only In the
distant future, the Filipinos would be
thrown into confusion thereby. Instead of
continuing to endeavor to fit themselves for
moral and material advancement In the
present, they would abandon atl effort at
progress and begin factional Intrigues for
tuture power.
To promise to give them Independence
when It Is "prudent" to do so, or when they
are "fit" for it. of course Implies that they
are not fit for It now, and that It would
be Imprudent to give it to them now. But
s we must ourselves be Judges as to when
they necome nt, and wnen it would he
"prudent" to keep such a promise if It
were made, It necessarily follows that to
make such a promise now would unount
to a deception upon the Filipinos.
Insincerity Their Protection.
It may well be that our opponenta have
no real Intention of putting their promise
Into effect. If this Is the case, If, ln other
words, they are Insincere In the promise
they make. It Is only necessary to say
again that it Is unwise to trust men who
are false In one thing to deal with any
thing. The mere consciousness of broken
faith would hamper them ln continuing
our policy In tho islands; and only by con
tinuing unchanged this policy can the honor
of tho cuuntry be maintained, or the Inter
ests of the Islands subserved. If,
on the other hand, our opponents
came Into power and attempted
to carry out their promise to the Fll.pinoi
by giving them independence, and with
drawing American control from the Islands,
the result would bo a frightful calamity to
the Filipinos themselves, and In its larger
aspect would amount to an International
crime. Anarchy would follow; and the
most violent anarchic forces mould be
directed partly against the civil govern
ment, partly against all forms of religious
and educational civilization. Bloody con
flicts would Inevitably ensue in the archi
pelago, and just aa Inevitably the Islands
would become tho prey of the first power
which In Its own selfish Interest took up
the task we had cravenly abandoned. Of
course, the practical difficulty In adopting
any such course of action such a "policy
of scuttle," as President McKlmey called
It would be found well nigh Insuperable.
If It Is morally Indefensible to hold the
archlbelago as a whole under our tutelage
In ths Intereut of Its own people, then It I
morally Indefensible to hold any part of It.
In such case what right have we to keep
a coaling station? What r'uht to keep
control over of Mora peoples? What right
to protect the Igorrotn from tlieu oiir.rrH
sors? What Hght to not ct t!e law-n hiding
'-lends of America In the Islands from
treachery, robbery and murder. Vet. to
abandon the Islands completely, without
even retaining a coaling station. would
mean to abandon the position In the com
petition, for the trade of th. Orient which
we hav. acquired during the last six years;
and what i. far more important It would
mesn irreparable damage to tl'.ne who
have become the wards of the nation. To
abandon all control over the Moron would
amount to releasing these Moroa to prey
upon the Christian Filipinos, civilised or
seml-clvlllzed, aa well aa upon the com
merce of other peoples. The Moroa are In
large part still In the stage of culture
where the occupations of the bandit and
the pirate are those most highly regarded;
and It haa not been found practical to give
them self-government In the sense that w.
have been giving tt to the Christian Inhab
itants. To abandon the Moro courtrv, a.
our opponents propose ln their platform,
would be precisely as if twenty-five years
ago we had withdrawn I he-army snd tb.
civil agents from within and around th.
Indian reservations ln th. we.t, at a tlm.
when th. Sioux and th. Apacb. were .till
the terror of our aettlera. It would be a
criminal absurdity; and yet our opDonsnt.
have pledged themselves thereto. If suc
cessful In th. coming election th.y would
either hav. to break faltb or else to do an
act which would leave an Indelible .tain
upon our national reputation for eouraaa
and for good sense.

and especially the wesker peoples of the

steps would be to give proof of an Infirm
and unstable national purpose.
McKlnley's Memorable Words.
Four years ago. In his speech of accept
ance President McKlnley said:
"W e have been moving ln untried paths,
but our steps have been guided by nonor
and duty. There will be no turning aside,
no wavering, no retreat. No blow has been
struck except for liberty and humanity,
and none will be. We will perform with
out fear every national and: International
obligation. The reoubllrKn party was dedi
cates to freedom forty-four yen, ago. It
nas been the party of liberty nnd emanci
pation from that hour; not of profession,
but of performance. It broke the shackles
of 4.000,000 slaves, nnd made them free, and
to the party of Lincoln ha. com. another
supreme opportunity which it has bravely
met In the liberation nf ten millions of tho
human family from the yoke of Imperial
Ism. In its solution of great problems. In
Its performance nf high duties. It has had
the support of members of all parties in
the rast. nnd It confidently Invokes their
co-operation ln the future."
This is true now s four years ago. We
did not take the Philippines at will, and
cannot put them aside at will. Any aban-
oonment ui .ne policy wnii'n we nave Bieaa
lly pursued In the Island, would be fraught
with dishonor and disaster; and to such
dishonor and disaster I do not believe that
the American people will consent.
Alarm has been profeesed lest the Fili
pinos should not receive all the benefits
gusranteed to our people st home hy the
Fourteenth amendment to the constitution.
As a trmtter of fact, the Filipinos have al
ready secured the substance of these bene
fits This government has been true to the
spirit of the Fourteenth amendment ln the
Philippines. Can our opponents deny that
here at home the principles of the Four
teenth and Fifteenth amendments have
been In effect nullified! In this, as In many
other matters, we at home can well profit
by the example of those responsible for ths
actual management of affair. In the Philip
pines. Tn our several commonwealth, here
In the l'nlted States we a a people now
face the complex problem of securing fair
treatment to each man regardless of his
race or color. Wo can do so only If we an
P roach the problem In the spirit of courage,
common sense, and high-minded devotion
to the right, which has enabled Governor
Taft. Governor Wright and their associates
to do so noble a work in giving to the Phil
ippine people the benefit of the true prin
ciples of American liberty.
