Roossvslt's View a. to Qualifications Of
the Vice President.
Theodore Roosevelt is not Z prophet.
nor the son of prophet, but he looks at
things very straight and sees into them
pretty clearly.
During the presidential campaign Of
1S(6 the editor of the Review Of Reviews
asked Mr.. Roosevelt, who was then Pres
ident Of the New York Police Board,
to write an article on the Vice Prssi-
dVncy, together with comments on the
three candidates who had been nominat-
ed respectively by the Republicans, the
Democrats and the Populists. Following
Ia an extract from Mr.. Roosevelt's arti-
Gle:
THE Vice President should, so far as
possible, represent the same views and
principles which have secured the nomi-
| nation and election Of the President, and
he should be man standing we'll in the
councils Of the party, trusted by his fel-
low leaders, and able, in the event of any
accident to his chief, to take up the work
| Of the latter just where il was left"
This was written nearly four years
before Mr.. Roosevelt was even mentioned
for Vice President, and before his elec.
ton as Governor Of New York. He was
nominated for Vice President against his
own wishes because the Republican party
believed that il elected he would be able
in the event of any accident to Mr.. Nc
kinley, to take up and carry on the work
Of the latter. and history has proved the
correctness of this view.
Mr.. Roosevelt's first public utterarce
after he succeeded to the office of Presi
dent was promise to carry on the work
OF his lamented chief to the best OF his
ability and strength. How faithfully and
successfully he has done SO is shown b,
the history he has helped to make. In
the light Of subsequent events what he
wrote in 1896 regarding the qualifcat tions
OF Vice President seems almost like
prophecy,

Of Exciting Conditionsr

OF Exciting conditions
When Mr.. Mckinley was first elected
President in 1896 the country was in the
midst Of an industrial panic. Business
was depressed, trade was paralyzed and
confidence was destroyed. This was the
result of four years OF Democratic rule.
The election of Mckinley was followed
by an immediate revival Of trade, which
continued throughout his administration
and to the present time.
Our foreign trade increased enormous
ly during Mr.. McKinley's administration.
In 1909 we sold foreign nations $l,227,-
A3.425 worth Of American products and
in return bought only $606.OO7 1888, or a
balance Of trade in our favor Of $751;
366,O37: for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1893, We sold foreign nations 81 ,231,
329.95O worth Of products. and in return
bought only $616,2O5, 150, a balance of
trade in our favor Of $615,0OOOOO. The
total balance of trade in our favor during
| the two years was $1.145.OOO.OOO.
Compare this with the last two years
| Of Cleveland's administration under the
tariff act of 1894. During those two
years the balance of trade in our favor
was only $2S7 100000, as against ST..
l45,OOO.OOO during the last two years OF
the Mckinley administration. One was
under the Democratic tariff of 1894 and
the other under the Dingley law, which
| is still in force.
Since the election Of Mckinley In 1896
the country has been lifted out of chaos
stagnation and financial depression, and
brought into an era of prosperity the

After cropping about blindly for some

to / free silver issue Of 1896 and 1900.
tho Democrats have apparently seized
upon the unrest Of labor as indicated In
numerous strikes in various parts OF the
country as condition which can be
charged to the Republican party. This
is merely another illustration Of the ira
ditional faulty Of Democratic issue hun
te.>, to monkey with live wire. when
they are looking for something to win
votes.
Strikes, like the poor, we have with
us always But unlike the poor they are
not proofs Of hard times and misfortune.
More often strikes are the signs and at
tendants of prosperous times. In hard
times wage earners have nothing to
strike for, except against sharing in the
losses which wait on unremunerative
industry. In good times. such as we
have been experiencing under Republi-
can rule during the past eight years,
strikes indicate the natural ambition OF
labor to secure an increased share in
| the profits Of their remunerativs indus
try.
Under Cleveland, from 1893 to 1895
strikes signifed the protest Of labor
against declining wages.
Under Mckinley and Roosevelt. from
1897 to 1904. strikes have marked the
strides by which labor has raised its
wages to a point never before known h
the history Of the industrial world.
| No official statistics Of strikes Aavt
been compiled later than for 1000, but
the figures for the sixteen years to and
including that year show the follow
ing loss Of wages to employees during
two Republican aud two Democratic
administrations:
The Teton peak., 1904-09-08

The banner year for strikes was 1894.
which involved \ loss Of $37, las, ,532 to
employees in wages.
1t has been estimated that the strikes
OF 1903 lessened the purchasing power
OF the American people by fully $1,000
OOO,OOO; and yet, SO universal was the
increase in pay Of wage sarners that
the savings deposits of the country were
increased by the enormous sum Of $24O,-
795, 1855 In one year. This affords a
striking contrast to the memorable year
Of Democratic adversely, 1904, when
$37. 1857 more savings were with
drawn than were deposited.
There Is a vast difference between the
significance of strikes in years Of adver-
sity and years Of prosperity. According
to the annual report of the American
Federation Of Labor the 2.OO4 strikes of
the organizations affiliated with that
body in 1903 resulted In benefits to no
less than 102.501, or u per cent of the
249.819 members involved. In 1894 the
proportion Of successful strikes was enly
37.35.
Clearly the present prevalence Of spor-
adic strikes will not serve the Demo
Gratis as a campaign issue. except - a
boomerang.
