"A congress which will sustain. and II
need be, strengthen the present law, can
prevent a financial catastrophe which ey
cry lover of the republic is interested TO
avert.
Not satisfied with assauIting the cur
rency and credit of the government, our
political adversaries condemn the tariff
law enacted at the extra session of con-
gress in 1897, known as the Dtngley act,
passed in obedience TO the will of the
people expressed at the election in the
preceding November; law which at
once stimulated our industries, opened
the idle factories and mines ana gave TO
the aborer and to the farmer their re-
turns for their toll and investment. Shall
we go back to the tariff which brings
deficiency in our revenues and destruc-
ton to our industrial enterprises?
Foreign Relations.
Faithful TO its, pledge in these internal
affairs how has the government discharg-
ed its International duties?
Our platform of 1896 declared, The
Hawaiian Islands should be controlled

Europe. We happily ended the European
alliance in Samoa, securing TO ourselves
one of the most valuable harbors in the
Pacific ocean. while the open door in
China gives TO us fair and equal connect

promised nor even foreseen, and our
purposes in relation to them must not
be left to chance.
New Problems Have Arisen.

humanity and with IL have come new
problems and responsibilities. Spain has
been elected from the Western hemisphere
and our flag floats over her former terri
tory Cuba has been liberated and our
guarantees to her people viii be sacred
~ executed. A benencent government has
been provided for Puerto Rico. The Phil
ippines are ours and American authority
must be supreme there throughout the
archipelago. There Will be amnesty broad
and liberal, but no abatement of our
rights, no abandonment of our duty,
There must be no scuttle policy. We will
fulfil in the Philippines the obligations
imposed by the triumphs of our arms and
by the treaty of peace; by international
law. by the nations sense of honor. and.
more than all, by the rights. interests and
conditions of the Philippine people them
selves.
