Department OF Agriculture.
The Department Of Agriculture during
the past fifteen years has steadily broad
ened It's work on economic lines. and has
accomplished results Of real value in up
building domestic and foreign trade. It
has gone into new fields until 1t is now In
touch with all sections Of our country and
with two Of the island groups that have
lately come under our Jurisdiction, whose
people must look to agriculture as a liyeli-
hood. 1t is searching the world for grains,
grasses, fruits. and vegetables specially
fitted for Introduction into localities In the
several States and Territories where they
may add materially to our resources. BY
scientific attention to soil survey and pos
sfble new crops. to breeding Of new varie-
ties Of plants. to experimental shipments,
to animal industry and applied chemistry,
very practical aid has been given our farm
ing and stock-growing interests The
products Of the farm have taken an unpre-
cedented place In our export trade during
the year that has just closed.
Public opinion throughout the United
States has moved steadily toward Just
appreciation of the value Of forests, wheth-
er planted or OF natural growth. The great
part played by them in the creation and
maintenance of the national wealth is now
more fully realized than ever before
Wise forest protection does not mean the
withdrawal Of forest resources, whether Of
wood, water or grass. from contributing
their fun share to the welfare Of the peo-
pie. but, on the contrary. gives the assur-
ance OF larger and more certain supplies

every application Of our tariff policy to
meet our shifting national needs must be
conditioned upon the cardinal fact that the
duties must never be reduced below the
point that will cover the difference between
the labor cost here and abroad. The we'll
being of the wage-worker Is prime con-
sideration Of our entire policy OF economic
legislation.
Subject to this proviso Of the proper pro-
lection necessary to our industrial we'll
being at home, the principle OF reciprocity
must command hearty support The
phenomenal growth Of our export trade
emphasizes the urgency Of the need for
wider markets and for liberal policy in
dealing with foreign nations. Whatever
Is merely petty and vexatious in the way of
trade restrictions should be avoided The
customers to whom we dispose of our sur
plus products in the long run, directly or
indirectly, purchase those surplus products
by giving us something In return. Their
ability to purchase our products should as
far as possible be secured by so arranging
our tariff as to enable US to take from them
those products which we can use without
harm to our own Industries and labor, or
the use of which will be OF marked benefit
to us.
It is most important that we should MAIN
tain the high level of our present prosperi-
ty We have now reached the point in the
development Of our interests where we are
not only able to supply our own markets
but to produce constantly growing sur
plus for which we must find markets
abroad To secure these markets we can
utilize existing duties in any case where
they are no longer needed for the purpose
of protection, or IN any case where the
article is not produced here and the duty is
no longer necessary for revenue, as giving
us something to offer in exchange for what
we ask. The cordial relations with other
nations which are so desirable win natural
ly be promoted by the course thus required
by our own interests.
The natural line Of development for a
policy of reciprocity will be In connection
with those of our productions which no
longer require all OF the support once need
ed to establish them upon q sound basis.
and with those others where either because
OF natural or OF economic causes we are be-
yond the reach OF successful competition.

maintain these reservoirs as 1t does other
public works. Where their purpose is to
regulate the flow of streams, the water
should be turned freely into the channels
in the dry season to take the same course
under the same laws as the natural flow.
The reclamation Of the unsettled arid
public lands presents different problem.
Here it is not enough to regulate the flow
of streams. The object Of the Government
is to dispose of the land to settlers who
will build homes upon it. To accomplish
this object water must be brought within
their reach.
The pioneer settlers on the arid public
domain chose their homes along streams
from which they could themselves divert
the water to reclaim their holdings Such
opportunities are practically gone. There
remain. however. vast areas Of public land
which can be made available for homestead
settlement. but only by reservoirs and
mainline canals impracticable for private
enterprise. These irrigation works should
be built by the National Government. The
lands reclaimed by them should be re-
served by the Government for actual set
tiers, and the cost Of construction should
SO far as possible be repaid by the land
reclaimed. The distribution Of the water
the division of the streams among irriga-
tors. should be left to the settlers them
selves in conformity with State laws and
without Interference with those laws or
with vested rights. The policy Of the Ma
tionai Government should be to aid irriga-
tion In the several States and Territories
in such manner as Will enable the people
In the local communities to help them
selves, and az will stimulate needed re-
forms in the State laws and regulations
governing irrigation.
The reclamation and settlement of the
arid lands will enrich every portion Of our
country, just as the settlement Of the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys brought prosperity
to the Atlantic states. The increased de-
mand for manufactured articles will stimu-
late Industrial production. while wider home
markets and the trade Of Asia will consume
the larger food supplies and effectually pre-
vent western competition with eastern agrf-
culture. Indeed. the products Of irrigation
villa be consumed chiefly In upbuilding local
cesters OF mining and other industries,
which would otherwise not come into exist

protected so far as 1t is possible from the
presence in this country Of any laborers
brought over by contract. or OF those who,
coming freely, yet represent a standard of
living 50 depressed that they can underseN
our men in the labor market and drag them
to a lower level. I regard It as necessary,
with this end in view, to re-enact imme-
diately the law excluding Chinese laborers
and to strengthen it wherever necessary in
order to make its enforcement entirely ef-
fective.
The National Government should demand
the highest quality Of service from its en-
plcyes; and in return it should be good
employer. If possible legislation should be
passed, in connection with the Interstate
Commerce Law, which will render effective
the efforts of different States to do away
with the competition Of convict contract
labor in the open labor market. So far as
practicable under the conditions Of Govern
ment work, provision should be made to
render the enforcement Of the eight-hour
law easy and certain. In all industries car
ried on directly or indirectly for the United
States Government women and children
should be protected from excessive hours
Of labor, from night work, and from work
under unsanitary conditions. The Govern
ment should provide in its contracts that
all work should be done under fair" con-
ditions, and In addition to setting a high
standard should uphold 1t by proper inspec-
ton, extending II necessary to the subcon-
tractors. The Government should forbid
all night work for women and children, as
well as excessive overtime. For the Dis
trict Of Columbia good factory law should
be passed. and, as a powerful indirect aid
to such laws, provision should be made to
turn the inhabited alleys, the existence of
which is reproach to our Capital City,
into minor streets. where the inhabitants
can live under conditions favorable to
health and morals.
American wage-workers work with their
heads as well as their hands. Moreover.
they take keen pride in what tney are
doing; so that. independent Of the reward,
they wish to turn out a perfect job. This

what the wrongs really are and to what eX-
tent and in what manner 1t is practical to
apply remedies.
All this Is true; and yet 1t is also true that
there are real and grave evils. one of the
chief being over-capitalization because Of
its many baleful consequences; and a res0-
lutte and practical effort must be made to
correct these evils.
There is a widespread conviction in the
minds Of the American people that the
great corporations known as trusts are in
certain of their features and tendencies
hurtful to the general welfare. This springs
from no spirit Of envy or uncharitableness
nor lack of pride in the great Industrial
achievements that have placed this country
at the head of the nations struggling for
commercial supremacy. 1t does not rest
upon lack of intelligent appreciation of
the necessity Of meeting changing and
changed conditions of trade with new
methods, nor upon ignorance of the fact
that combination of capital In the effort to
accomplish great things is necessary when
the worlds progress demands that great
things be done. 1t is based upon sincere
conviction that combination and concen-
tration should be. not prohibited, but super
vised and within reasonable limits con-
trolled; and in my judgment this convic-
tion Is right.
1t Is no limitation upon property rights or
freedom of contract to require that when
men receive from Government the privilege
of doing business under corporate form,
which frees them from individual RESPONSE
bility, and enables them to call into their
enterprises the capital Of the public, they

sentations as to the value of the property
