I also return more deeply Impressed haa ever before with the Responsibility which rests upon-eur nation as .an exem plar a,mong the nation snd more soliclitous that we, avoiding the causes Which have led other natlona to decay, may present a higher Ideal , titan has ever before tweu embodied in a . national . life and carry human progress to a higher plane than it has before reached. - . . I desire, moreover, to acknowledge In debtedness to the American official who have everywhere ahown us all possible courtesy and kindness.

' Many proliable (U'lils of Investment are now 'closed because the people of the smaller natlona are afraid that an Invest ment of foreign capital wlH be made an excuse for a foreign invasion. Heveral times oh this trip thla fact has been brought 'to' my attention, and 1 am con vinced that for every dollar- we -could, se cure to American Investor by an attempt to put th government back of their privat claims, we would lose many dollar by closing th door to -Investment. Mark the distinction between the protection of the live of our cltlsen and the use ot the navy to guarantee a profit on invest ments. We do net. Imprison for debt Jn the United States, neither, do we put men to death because of their failure to pay what they owe, and our moral prestige, aa well as our commercial Interests, will be conserved by assuring all nations thst American 'Investments depend for protec tion upon the laws ot the. eountry to which the. investors go. , ' Colonial PI aw and Success.. . Before leaving International, politics,- let me add that our nation ha lost prestige, rather than gained It, py our experiment In colonialism. Ve have given the monarchists--a chance to ridicule our declaration-of Independence and the scoffer has twitted -us with inconsistency. - A tour through ths Philippine islanus haa deepened tne' conviction that we should lose no time in- announcing our purpose to deal with the Filipinos as w dealt with tha Cubans. Every consideration, commer cial and political, leads to this conclusion. Much ground as we-, may nsed for coaling stations or for a naval baaa will be gladly conceded by the Fllipinoa, who simply aesire an opportunity to work - ut their own destiny, inspired by our example and aided by our advice. In aq far, aa our efloris nave been directed toward the education of the Filipinos we have Ten dered them a "distinct service, but In educating them. we ; must- reoognlse thst we are .making colonialism Impossible., It we Intended to hold them as subjects we would nbl dare to educate them. Self government, with ultimate Independence, must be assumed. It we contemplate uni versal education In the Philippines.

There la noticeable a dlatlnct movement every where toward democracy In lta broadest sense. In all the countries which I have visited there Js -a demand, that the govern ment be brought nearer tb the people. In China a constitution is under consideration. Jn Japan the people, are demanding that tne ministry. Instead of being chosen by the emperor from among his particular rrienax, snail re selected from faruament and be In harmony - with the - dominant sentiment. In India there Is agltktlon In favor of a native, congress. In Russia the csar has been compelled to recognise the popular voice in . the establishment or a Duma; -and throughout Europe the move 'ment manlfesta itself In. various forms. In ths Unlud Slates this trend toward de mocracy haa taken the form of a growing demand for trie elecrlon of" I'nlted State senators by a dlreot voia of the people.

I am within the limits of the truth when I say that t)e senate has'been for some'-yeare th bul wrk of predatory wealth and-that It even now contains so many members who owe .their election to favor-seeking corporations -and are to subservient to their masters- as to prevent needed legislation. The popular branch of eongresa haa four times declared in favor of this reform by two-thirds vote and more then two-third of tie eta tee have demanded it,, and yet . the senate. arro gantly and Impudently blocks the way, k- l ' facoaao Tm s Necessary.

The benefits of the" labor saving machine1 have not been dlatributed with equity.'

Those 'who-oppose the eight-hour dsy do It, I -am convinced, more because of Ignoranow of oondition than .because uf lack of sympathy with those who toil. The removal of work from the house to the- faotory has separated the huaband from hla wife and. the father from hla children, while the growth of our cities has put an Inoreaalrur distance between home and the. workahop.

Th trouble Is that the-republican party is in a V'"iflon t apply- effactiva and thoroughgoing-reforms, because It has built up through special legislation the -very viewe which 'need to be ersdicated.

But It Jn not sufficient, to enforce existing laws. it ten corporations conspiring to gether in restraint of trade are threatened with punlahment all they have to do now la to dissolve their separate corporations and turn their property over to a new corporation. The new corporation can pro ceed to do the same thing that the separate corporations attempted and yet not violate the law. We need, therefore, new legisla tion, and the republican party not only tana to enact such legislation, but tans even to promise It. The democratic party muat bo prepared to propose new ana eln clent legislation. Directors Reapoaalble. Recent ' Inveatigatlona have 'brought to light that nearly all crookedness revealed In the management of our legal corpora tions have been aue to the duplication of directorate. A group of men organised Or oblaint-d control ot several Corporations doing business with each other and then proceeded to swindle the stockholders of the various corporation for which they acted. No man can serve two- masters, and the director who attempts to do so will fall, no matter how much money he make bet or hi . failure la discovered. Many of the truat control price by tli ame methods. The same group ot men secure control ot several competing cor poratlona, and the management ia thus consolidated. It is worth while to -con-alder whether a blow may not be struck at the truat by a law making it Illegal for the unit person to act as director or officer of two corporations which deal with each other or are engaged in the sumo general bualness. A still more far-reaching remedy was proposed by the democratic platform- of 1HUU, namely, the requiring of corporations to lake oua. a federal license before en gaging in Interstate commerce. Thla rem edy la simple, easily applied and compre hensive. The requiring of a license would not embarrass legitimate corporations It would scarcely Inconvenience mem while It would confine the predatory corporations to the stats of their origin. Juat as a license to sell liquor leaves the possessor of the license to sell only In accordance with the laws of the state In which he resides, so a corporate license granted by a federal commission would not- interfere with the right of each state to regulate foreign corporations doing business within Its borders. If corporations were required to take a federal license the federal gov ernment could then Issue the license upon the terms and conditions which would pro tect the public. ......... Corporation and Indlvldaal. A corporation differ from a human being in that It ha no natural right, and aa all of Its rights are derived from the statutes. It can be. limited or restrained ao cbrdlng as the public welfare may require, 'IJie control which congress has over later Mate commerce 1 complete and If con (rrea can prevent the transportation, of a ottery ticket through the mall, by. the express' companies or by freight it can certainly forbid the use' of the malls, the railway and the telegraph to any cor' poratlon which Is endeavoring to mono polise an article of commerce, and no party can long be credited with lncerity If It condemns the truat with words only and then permits th trust to employ all the instruhientailtlea of Interstate commerce In the carrying out its nefarious plans. It Is far easier to prevent- a monopoly than to watch it and punish it, and this prevention csn bs accomplished In a practical way by refusing a license to any corporation which contrdls more than a Certain proportion of th. products thl proportion -to be arbitrarily, fixed at a , point which will Iftv fre operation to competition. The tariff queatlon i very cloaely allld to the truat question and the reduction of the .tariff furnishes an - easy means ot limiting . the extortion which the trusts can practice. - Toaches oa the TarlaT. While 'absolute free trade 'would noil necessarily make a trust Impossible, still it is probable that very few manufacturing establishments would dare to enter the trust If the president were empowered to put on the free list articles competing with thoaa controlled by a trust.-While 1 shall take occasion at an early day to consider the tariff question more at length,. 1 can not permit this opportunity to pass with out expressing the opinion that the princi ple embodied In the protective taiiif has been the fruitful source of a great deal cf political corruption, as Well aa the suppott ot many of our most Iniquitous trusis. It is difficult to condemn the manufacturer for uniting to take advantage pf a -high tariff scheuule when the schedule Is framed on the theory that the Industrie neea all th protection given, and it Is not likely that Ihe beneficiaries -of these schedules will consent to their reduction o lotijt u th public waits for tb tariff to be re formed by Its f rlendsi But one of the worst feature ot the tariff levied not for revenue, but for the avowed purpose ot protection,- is that It fosters the idea that men should use their ballot to advance their own financial in. terests. The manufacturer has been as sured that It Is legitimate for him to vote for congressmen who, whatever th.-lr opinions on other subjects may be, will lealaiate , larger dividends Into his Docket: sheep, grower have been encouraged, to be lieve that they ahould have no higher 'aim In voting than to raise the price of. wool, and laboring men have been urged to make their wages their only concern. "For a generation ths "fat" has been fried out Of the - manufacturers by the republican congresslonsl committee,' and then the man ufacturers have been ' reimbursed by legit lation. ,. ,. i'"-. ; - PaMla Conscience' Debawehea.. , With the public conscience ducated to believe that lnsusance companies have Used the, money IjI tumr policy ttiii..

How can we draw a moral line betweon the sens cor or congressman elected by the truais to prevent hostile, legislation an.l the senator or congressman kept in congress by the manufacturers to, secure friendly legis lation? -The . party, wi.tcji . jueUiiad . U. one form ot bribery cannot bu rellod upon to condemn tho other. . - There nevervwae a time -whan tariff reform could be snore easily entered upon, for ths manufacturers, bv selling abroad cheaper than at home, as many of ih-m do, have not only shown their ingratitude toward those who built the tariff wall for them, but they have demonstrated tMIr ability to sell In competition with il:d, world. The high tariff haa Ions been a burden to the consumers In tha United States and It Is growing more and raoro a menace to our foreign commerce be cause It arouses resentment and provokes retaliations Railroad Qaestlon.

Nearly all the railroads of Germany are owned by the several atatea, the empire not even owning the trunk lines, snd yet th Interstate-tramo la In no wise obstructed. In traveling from Constanti nople to Vienna one passes through Tur key, Bulgaria, Bervla, Hungarla and A part of Austria without-a -change-of .cars, and yet each country owna and operates It own road and different language are spoken on the different dlvlalona of the lines. Sweden and Norwsy each Owns Its railroads, but they' have ne trouble about Interstate traffic, although their political relation are somewhat strained. . His nasi Feaalble. The ownership and operation of the local lines by the several state government I not only feasible, , but it suit lUelf to the condition existing In ' the varloue states. In those states where the people are ripe for a change the local lines can be pur chased or new line b built at once, while private ownership can continue In those states In which the people still prefer pri vate ownership. Some, states hava been more careful than others to prsvent the watering ot ttock. and In th acquiring of roada each state can act according to the situation whleh It has to meet. - As to the 'right of the governments, fed eral and state, to own and operate rail roads there can be no doubt. If we deepen the water in the lakes and build connect ing canals Irf order to cheapen railroad transportation during half of the year, we ran build a railroad and cheapen rates the whole years ff we csn spend 700,000.000 on th Panama canal 'tb lower transconti nental rates, ws can build a railroad from New York to Mn Franclaco to lower both transcofttlnerital - knd local rate. Th United State mail is Increasing so rapidly that we shsll soon be able to pay the interest on the cost' of trunk lines out of the money which we' now pay to railroads for carrying through" mail. - Fear May Cark Corporations. If any ot .you question the propriety of my mentioning this subject, I beg to re mind you that the president could not hav secured the pessage of the rate bill had he not appealed Uv the fear of the more rad leal remedy of government ownership, and nothing will so restrain the railroad mag nates from attempting to capture the In terstate Commerce commission as the same fear.- The high-handed manner In whloh they have violated law and Ignored au. thorlty, together with the corruption die covered In hlgh place, has done more to create sentiment In fsvor of public owner ship than all the speeches and arguments of the opponents of orlvsia nn.nTi.
