A Miracle OF Industry.


A Miracle OF Industry.
Tbe scheme and scope Of President
RoosxvELr's oratorical programme be-
I'm 70 manifest themselves In the daily
reports. The plan Of campaign Is artis-
TO. philosophical and bids fair to provo
very comprehensive.
At Chicago. before a vast and deeply
Interested assemblage Of fellow citizens
in the Auditorium, the President dis
c,,ssed the Monroe Doctrine in relation
both to recent events in Venezuela and
TO the future of the nations enterprise
at Panama. He dwelt particularly upon
tho matter Of underwriting the Doctrine
with the indispensable certificate OF its
validity, namely, a naval armament in
The highest degree efficient. There is no
need to say that Mr.. RoosEvELT's gen.
eTal remarks on this subject were chock-
full OF good sense and sound American
ism. It Ia his habit to see straight when
the flag Is before him.
Al Evanston he touched delicately the
fundamental Importance OF steadfast at
tsntion to tbs propagation Of ths Amer
loan species. Here, again, the President
has public sentiment with him; and the
eenially paternal and semi-humorous
tone OF his incidental speeches against
race suicide adorns without Disgusting
q very sincere conviction and very
esFious purpose. No spectacle that his
eyes encounter tugs harder at his heart
stfings than that OF an abundance Of
.ruddy-faced children. beaming with
health and stopping over with high
spirits, In the crowds that attend his
progrsss. As this is a sight which Is
likely to inspire him continually on his
travels. wherever he Journeys and
vhether be journeys for sixty-six days
Iog for sixty-six months, We shall un-
dbubtedly have much more from his
tips In the way OF encouragement to
the coming generation. We applaud
his policy In this respect. He Is doing
his duty thoroughly. On the evening
before bis departure from Washington,
whom be must have been exceedingly
busy and worried with o multitude Of
tasks. Mr.. ROOSEVELT took the time to
address. a. President. . letter OF warm
approval 70 q father Of triplets, all boys.

At Milwaukee the President spoke long
and earnestly on the subject Of trust 70
preston. Withdrawing, as we have al
ready stated. his former declaration that
tl,s time has como for a change Of atti-
tsads on the. part Of State and nation
toward property. deploring ceaseless
agitation for radical and extreme legis-
latiou.' and announcing that in his
dpinion nothing moro ID practicable In
The way Of legislation than has now been
done. The whole substance Of the Mil
vsukss speech 10 reassuring.
Yesterday. at Minneapolis. Mr.. RoosE-
vuzr turned to the tariff. with incidental
rsfsrsnces 10 tho Cuban reciprocity treaty
and tho partial measure OF legislative
relief for the Philippines. in the shape
a. q - Per cent. reduction Of duties on
our imports from the archipelago. He
b proud OF tho success Of his Admins
trstion In the hnsl redemption Of an
obiiestion to Cuba inherited from Presi-
dent MCKINLEY; and he is justly proud,
for bis efforts 10 perform this plain duty
Of justice and common sense have been
loyal. consistent, incessant and in detail
cunsummately skilful. The President
II likewise properly severe In his COM
ments upon the character Of the oppose
ton which prevented the enactment for
tbs hsusft Of the Philippines from reach
ins 10 the full extent that was contem-
plsted. On the general question OF tar
10 changes, on the danger Of upsetting
prosperity by any premature or sweep
tue unsettlement Of the schedules, and
b The clear recognition OF the principle
u protection as tho prime factor In the
.oountry's economic welfare and amaz-
ing progress, the Presidents views are
emphatic. The academic theorists and
the reckless disturbers OF existing con-
ditions will find no comfort In the second
notable address which he has delivered
within two years at Minneapolis.
A. the present series Of Presidential
speeches broadens and grows in print,
wonder increases at the marvellous in
dustry manifested in the undertaking
for thsse important utteranoes on so
many and such various themes Of public
Interest must have been maturely con-
tsidsrsd. perfected as to thought and
argument, and even polished In literary
form. NOT in q period Of comparative
leisure but during the stress Of session
a Congyess that crowded Mr.. RoosE-
vHld's hours with exacting duties and
unavoidable cares.
