destroying the fruits Of their own ur- precede triumph?
 T come from the cast with undcubt- ing faith that the people Of th5. west. enlightened by the events of tho past two years, which have changed busi- ness darkness and Industrial giCon, to the glorious sunshine of promise and
 prosperity, and lifted up to higher al titudes of patriotism by the mighty movements Of the war, will show the i true intelligence and sturdiness Of American citizenship. Even if We had rot the supreme isSsons O. the war to guide Us iii our duty, tho unmistakable changes Of conditions which have fol- lowed the viciss:,udes of administra- tion ard of party policy within the last few years should be s,Ificiena to teach the people to held fast to that which is sure and sound and safe.
 We have ..cw reached the magnifl- cert position absolutely unriyaled among nations, where our exports are double our imports We sell twice as
 much a we buy. Ins.,ad cf Eains compelled to rely upon ether nationa, We are completely independent, and go fcrth into the markzts Of the world
 This is tine magnificent viEdication cf
 the AmeI :can poiicy-that it has built up our own industries until We are su-
 preme in our field, and has established them with such strength and facilities and equipment that Nh5y can now sue csssfully compete all over the world.
 Our growth has been so marvellous that We car. scarcely realize it. Under the direct development of the republican policy our country stands pre-eEline mt It can no longer be compared wi,h any ctLar single nation, but must be com pared with the world
 We manufacture oae-third Of all that is manufactured in the busy work shops Of ths glo5e. Our growth in in dust-ies during ,the past twenty Live years has been more than twice that Of
 Er gland, France ard Germany ptts to- gether. Our railroad business is prac-
 tic2lly ole-third that Cf all the world
 steam tonnage, notwithstanding our lack of merchant marine, is One-thirti. We have one-half the leagth Of the seI- cgTSph lines Cf the earth. We write and receive about Cna-third Of all the
 lstsers that are wristen by mankind
 Throughout the whole broad range Of business and and industrial activity the same general enormous expansion Of our productive capacity we need com Eercial outlets, and, thanks to the val or Of the American sailor and soldier. and the valor and breadth of American statesmanship, these outlets are now
 within cur grasp We have been en- gagged in the great work Of home devel- opment, ard as the direct and legiti-
 mate CutgTcwth e that development, 4 <,f1 expansion.
 Every bushAl Of Wb1a. sent from the Pacific states to Chira and Japan, and
 tC any Of &he countries with which a
 focthold i1 the Philippines will bring Cs into communication. will be just 50 r.Gch taken away from the competition
 which Kansas ard ,he states O. the ntral wCst mcCG il the marke,s c9 Liverpool. There is whcre your sur plus gees; there is where price is de-
 termined, and you have, therefore. q dir-ct interest in the opening cf lew outlets, which will divide the compe1i- ton encountered in th2t arena The new era and the new duties before Us appeal to your patriotic instincts as Americans. ThEy appeal, also, to your rarsCrai interests as individuals, and
 ' 7 questions Q your homes, and reflect up0n your obligations as men aai as citizens. you will find yourselves ele- vated cut Of all EarIcw partisan i'm pulses, and rais5d to the high plane of public responsibility
 You will. feel assured, be i'm peiied to stand by tIse chief who has been intrusted. under the guidance Of Providence, with '.hs execu.ion cf these mighty plans. I have said that we lave been moving forward in an era C. home development to its full con summation, and as the next step, and the direct sequ5nca, we now move for ward to the era Of commercial expal- sion. Having secured full command Of cur own market and carried CUT pro ducgiye capacity beyond our own wants we step C.t into tta markets Of tll3 world
 Through these successive develop nrents there is one striking fact, and one commanding personality. The Anfarican systSm found it's expression in the famous report of Alexander Hamilton, but. though outlined with masteTiy ability by that consummate statesman Of our constructive period, it is nevertheless generally recognized that the three distinctive and p7oIni- nent representatives and champions of the Amsrican protective policy, stand ing forth from its practical inausUra- ticn 70 it's full fruition, are Henry Clay, Horace Greeley and William Me Kinley. Clay, the impassioned orator and the brilliant and beloved embodi- nlent of the independent American spirit, was the real founder Of the sys- tenn. Greeley was it's ardent, unwaTer- ing and matchless polemic and prepa- gardist He was .he gladiatOrial con tIOvsTsialist, t. whose bToadax was ready for every encounter, ard trough the clouds marred his last years, no lapse CT defalcatiCn ccl obscure the glory Of his long, faithful ana aggressive championship Of the American pTin- ciDle
 There is another who ranks among the most conspicuous and illustriCus leaders Of the American policy, whose magnetic G1d inspiring personality will always survive with cur memories cf the lamented Blcin2 But the real
