all the States are equal. Thus it
happens that one citizen OF one
State us much law-making power
in the Senate as 40 citizens of an
other State. Except an absolute
monarchy, there is no other sys-
tenn of government on earth in
which there are so many obstacles
between the will of the majority
and it's enactment into law as we
have in this republic.
If it were true, as Mr.. Cannon
declares, that all our laws, ode
pend upon the sentiment of a ma
jority of our people," we should
have a new outfit of laws, with
every change in the political COM
plexion Of the peoples branch Of
Congress. In 1874, only nine
years after our only great war,
the people rose up in tremendous
might, hurled great Republican
majority out of an immense Demo-
cratic majority into the House.
But that did not change letter
of law. Democratic victories
since that time have been num-
erous, but since 1858 there has
been but one Congress, one period
of two years in forty-six years, in
which Democratic legislation was
possible. Looking at these facts,
need any intelligent citizen fear
the result of a Republican defeat
this year? And considering the
steady Republican trend of the
election returns since 1892, could
not that party afford to be fair
and candid in discussing the sit
uation?
A person unfamiliar with our
plan IF government-and there
are several millions of such per-
sons in our voting population
would suppose from Mr.. Can
mons remarks that a majority of
the people was always in control
of legislation, but the truth is that
popular majority is never in
control. That peculiar institution
which we call a State is the chief
factor. Not only is the Senate
the arena of State legislative
power, but the States, not the peo-
pie, elect Presidents. And their
votes in the electoral college are
only in part based on population,
for each State has the same num-
Der of Senatorial electors. There
was time. not many years ago,
when we had a Democratic Senate

PERTINENT REMARKS.

servedly popular than Speaker
Cannon. Having by faithful con-
tinuance in well doing attained to
the place which is second in I'M
portance only to the Presidency,
it was fitting that he should be
chosen to preside over the Repub-
lican National convention and to
start the Republican campaign
with the notification speech, which
tooethe" with Mr.. Roosevelt's re-
Spouse. will be relied upon for eff
fective work in enlightening and
enthusing the Republican voters
and winning converts to the Re-
publican faith. But it seems to us
that the partisan dominated the
statesman in some portions of that
address, as, for instance, the fol-
lowing statement of what "the
majority of our people" may do:
Correct revenue laws, pro-
lection or free trade, the gold
standard and our currency
system, all depend upon the
sentiment of the majority Of
our people as voiced at the
ballot box. A majority may
change our revenue laws; a
majority may change our
currency laws: a majority
may destroy the gold stand
ard and establish the silver
standard, or. in lieu of either
or both, make the Treasury
note. Notwithstanding and
irredeemable. the sole stand
ard of value.
/, The purpose of those remarks
was to impress upon the Republi-
can mind the idea that Demo-
cratic victory this year would en-
danger the gold standard, our en-
tire currency system and the pol
icy of protection-would, in short,
give us free trade and debased
currency. Like some other Re-
publican leaders, and nearly all
the organs of that party, Mr.. Can
non ignores the fact that we have
a Republican Senate, Senate so
strongly Republican that it cannot
be changed before the Sixtieth
Congress comes in, and is not I'M
likely 10 resist all efforts to change
it for some years longer. There
fore, a Democratic victory, how
ever emphatic, would not put any
law in reach of Democratic legisla-
ton. Assuming the Democracy
to be N favor of currency debase-
ment-which it is not-and assum-
ing it to be bent on radical and
important changes in our revenue
laws-which is a gratuitOus as
sumption-a Democratic Presl-
dent and House of Representatives
would be powerless to change the
existing order of things in these
and all other respects; would be
compelled to stand pat. 1t is just
possible that Republican victory
might result in some reduction OF
schedules that are VIGOROUSLY too
high. The pressure for relief
might become irresistible. But a
Democratic triumph would be an
absolute guarantee of standing
pat. Nor is it at all improbable
that the too highly protected in
dustries will see this point, and
use their influence to deadlock the
legislative department.
Mr.. Cannon talks rather care
lessly of what ''the majority OF
our people, may do. Strictly
speaking, the people do not con
troll any department OF the gov
eminent. Joined with the people
are the States. Joined with the
