MR.. GRosvENoR's SPEECH.
"The Philippines are ours. They are
ours by the conquest Of Dewey and the
army, they are ours by the terms OF
the treaty with Spain: they are ours
by every principle of law. national and
International, and the American people
will never consent to the Introduction
into political power Of a party that VIII
play the old pratical game Of 'scut-
tie and run away from responsibility
even as great as 1t IL, In the fear OF
God and IN the name OF American
civilization, we viii control and govern
and benefit those islands, and we will
repeat In the Philippines, on a larger
scale, what we have accomplished so
brilliantly in the island Of Porto Rico.
The American flag has never been pull
ed down from any territory that II ever
claimed Jurisdiction OF Il never will be
pulled down while the Republican pres
ident Is in the White House.
Mr.. Grosyenor declared that the Re-
publican party does not worship the
schedules of the tariff as fetish but
fayors revision whenever the require

ded:
THE VITAL QUESTION.
"The vital question for the Repub-
leans at this particular time Is the
question Of where and how and by
whom any revision Of the tariff which
is deemed important shall be made.
What is there In the portenis of the
times that indicates necessity for any
revision Of the tariff schedules Of the
Dingley act? We have unbounded
prosperity. Is that the time to com
mence q tariff agitation that shall un-
settle values and disturb the peace OF
business and preclpitate into commo.
ton the bushes interests Of the Unit
ed States? That is the important ques-
ton and a question which In my opln-
ion can only be answered in this way
Until Injurious results TO business and
l.
duced by the existence of tariff sched- |
ules, the time has not yet come TO en- |
ter upon revision OF that document. !
Incidental TO this subject Is the |
question OF wider markets. We can |
not 20 on forever adding to the volume |
Of our production and yet fail 10 gain |
new and wider markets. The problem !
Of the day is the question of new /
markets for American production.
RECIPROCITY.
Reciprocity must not be used to
destroy home Industries, Reciprocity |
must not be made use Of to lessen the
wages Of the American lab0rers or to
curtai the scope Of their employment, |
But reciprocity may be used to open
the markets of other countries TO the
productions Of our country and there
by and in that way make II possible
TO give more wages and more hours
of labor to the American workman"
