PRESIDENT SPEAKS ON CUBAN
TREATY AND TARIFF QUESTION

Minneapolis, April 5.-President
Roosevelt and party arrived here at s
o'clock yesterday afternoon. A drive
through the principal street, with the
mayor acting as escort, ended at the
Nicollet hotel. where short reception
was held. The President was then
taken to the banquet hall. where hun
dreds of the leading men OF the city
gave hearty reception.
After the banquet President Roose-
welt was introduced and spoke ON THE
Tariff" in part. as follows:
My Fellow Citizens: At the spe-
cial session OF the Senate held in
March the Cuban reciprocity treaty
was ratified. When this treaty goes
Into effect IL will confer substantial
economic benefits alike upon Cuba. be-
cause OF the widening of her market
In the United States. and upon the
United States. because OF the equal
widening and the progressive control
1t Will give to our people in the Cuban
market.
Under the Platt amendment Cuba
agreed to give us certain naval sta
tions on her coast. The Navy Depart
ment decided that We needed but two.
and we have specified where these two
are to be. President Palma has con-
cluded an agreement giving them TO
us-an agreement which the Cuban
legislative body will doubtless soon
ratify. In other words. the Republic
OF Cuba has assumed special relation
to our international political system.
under which she gives us outposts OF
defense. and We are morally bound to
extend TO her In n degree the benefit
OF our own economic system. From
every standpoint of wise and enlight-
ened home and foreign policy the rati-
ication OF the Cuban treaty marked n
step OF substantial progress in the
growth Of our Nation toward greatness
at home and abroad.
Equally important was the action
on the tnriff upon products Of the Phil
ippines. We save them n reduction of
twenty-five per cent. and would have
given them n reduction OF twenty-five
per cent. more had Il not beea for the
opposition. In the hurried closing
days OF the last session. OF certain gem
tlcmen who. by the way. have been
representing themselves both ms pc
cuiiarly soiicitous for the interests OF
the Philippine people and as special
champions of III. lowering of tariff
duties. There is n distinctly humorous
side to the fact that the reduction OF
duties which would benefit Cuba and
the Philippines. as well rs ourselves.
was antaEonired chiefly by those who
In theory have been fond OF proclaim
inE themselves the advanced guardians
Of the oppressed nationaiitics In the
Islands affected and the ardent advo-
Gates OF the reduction OF duticA r-ncr-

THE present phenomenal prosperity
has been won under a tariff which was
made in accordance with certain fixed
and definite principles. the most i'm
portant Of which is an ayowed deter
mination to protect the interests OF the
American producer. business man.
IN making any readjustment there
are certain important considerations
which cannot be disregarded. II tar
In law has on the whole worked well,
and II business has prospered under II
and Is prospering. II may be better TO
endure some Inconvenience and in
equalities for time than by making
changes to risk causing disturbance
and perhaps paralysis in the Industries
and business OF the country.
"One point We must steadily keep in
mind. The question of tariff revision.
speaking broadly. stands wholly apart
from the question OF dealing with the
trusts.
mo change In tariff duties can have
any substantial effect in solving the So
called trust problem.
Certain great trusts OF great cor
rorations are wholly unaffected by the
tariff. Practically all the others that
are OF any Importance have as a matter
of fact numbers OF smaller American
competitors, and. OF course. n change In
the tariff which would work injury to
the large corporation would work not
merely injury but destruction To Its
smaller competitors. and equally. Of
course. ouch a change would mean dis
nster TO nll the wage-workers connect
ed with either the large or the small
corporations. From the standpoint of
those interested In the solution OF the
trust problem such n change would
therefore merely mean that the trust
was relieved OF the competition OF its
weaker American competitors and
thrown only into competition with for
eign competitors. and that the first ef-
fort TO meet this new competition
would l.. mndc by cutting down wages.
and would. therefore. be primarily at
the cost OF labor. In case OF some OF
Our greaieft trusts such a change.
might confer upon them positive
benefit. Speaking broa5.y. II IA evil

try. The tariff Affects trusts only as u
affects all other Interests. II make

profitable. and Its benefits can be TAX
cn from the large only under penalty
Of taking them from the small also.
To sum up. then. We must aa pco-
pie approach matter of such prime
economic Importance Ms the tarii
