THE DEAD M'kiNAEY, THE LIVE ROOSEVELT.

THE LIVE ROOSEVELT.
 Mr. Roosevelt dictated to the Chica- go ratification meeting a platform, mostly about himself, which was obed- iently ratified. In this he devoted few words of praise to Mckinley, but after the first two sentences he switch ed off to praise of himself and con graduation to the country that the murdered Mckinley had so great sue cessor The implication. of course, is that NIT. Roosevelt followed in the foot steps Of Mckinley, as he promised to do, but this is not expressly asserted. Perhaps it is as we'll that it was not. There is no room to doubt that expe- rience and responsibility had greatly broadened the mind of Mir. Mckinley, and that, while he adhered to the the ory of protection, he had come 10 see its limitations in practice. His last public address, just before he was as- sassinated. contained these impressive words:
 Our capacity 10 produce has devel- oped so enormously and our products have so multiplied that the problem of more markets requires our immedi- ate attention. Only broad and en- frightened policy will keep what we have. No other policy will get more. h these times of marvellous business energy and gain We ought to be look ing to the future, strengthening the weak places in our industrial and com mercial systems that we may be ready for any storm or strain.
 By sensible trade arrangements which will not interrupt our home pro tuction, We shall extend the outlets for our increasing trade surplus. A system which provided a mutual exchange of commodities is manifestly essential .o the continuous healthful growth of our export trade.
 We must not repose in the fancied security that We can forever sell ey- erything and buy little or nothing. If such a thing were possible II would rot be best for us or for those with whom We deal. We should take from our customers such of their products as We can use without harm to our in dustries and labor.
 Reciprocity is the natural out growth of our wonderful industrial de yelopment under the domestic policy now firmly established. What we pro 6uce beyond our domestic consumption must have a vent abroad. The excess must be relieved through a foreign outlet, and We should sell everything We can and buy wherever the buying will enlarge our sales and productions, and thereby make a greater demand for home labor.
 The period of exclusiveness is past The expansion of our trade and com Ao lHc pitSc4Ac PAobiCh SOh-- mercial war4 are unprohtable. A policy of good will and friendly trade relations will prevent reprisals. Reef procity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the times; measures of retaliation are not. If perchance some of our tariffs are no longer need ed for revenue to encourage and pro tect our industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad?"
 Compare the spirit of this utterance with the Roosevelt platform just adopt cd al Chicago. Is there any resem biance between the two either in wha they recommend or in what they sug gest? Are they not in fact as fal apart in their spirit as the poles Roosevelt has repudiated Mckinley.
