1 feated the treaties negotiated bv the executive and now these same inte-ess cling to the benefit of these dutie- W Which the people never intended thsv should have, and to which they have no moral right.
 The two leading rarties have aI- ! ways differed as to the principle oF cu-- toms taxation Our party has always aovanced the theory tha; the object is the raising Of revenue for support OF the government whatever other results may incidentally flow therefrom- The republican party, on the other hand contends that customs duties should i,-- levied primarily for protection. SO call cd. with revenue as the subortina.s purpose. thus using tho power or gaza- ton to build up the business and F. ou- erty of the few at the expense or th, many.
 This difference of principle stiu sub sists. but our party appreciates thsr l the long continued policy or the coun- ! try as manifested in its statute. makes it necessary that tarin refol ru should be prudently and -azaeiousfv | undertaken. on scientific principles. :u l the end that there should not be a- | immediate revolution in existing con ditions.
 In the words of our platform. ue de- mand ''a revision and gradual relur- | ton of the tariff by the friends or ! the masses, and for the common veal and not by the friends Of Is abuses. its eNtOrtious and disc- lrulra- tions."
 In my response to your commNtee. I pointed out a method under grhf,h a gradual reduction of customs dues may be accomplished without diztu- D. ing business conditions I dezIre aeti1 1 to express the opinion that this meth ! cd should be followed.
 RECIPROCITY.
 In my address to the notfdca-fan committee said that tarim reform Is demanded by the best interests of : both manufacturer and consu1sler.-- With equal truth it can be said tEa- the benefits Of reciprocal trade treatfes would inure to both That the coz sumer would be helped is unquestioua- ble- That the manufacture vsould re- oeive great benefits by extencta= his markets abroad hardly needs 6suror- stration- His productive capacity --.s ! outgrOwn the home market The ven term home market has chauEe-s in its significance Once. from the ua.- ufacturer's point of view. it meant ex- pansion: today the marvellous growth pA 0-AA lAAa-al -a4 4llE AAlIl<LElE- LL- far exceeded the consumptive capacity Of our domestic markets. and the term ! home market implies contraction rather than expansion IT We would run our mills to their full capacity | thus giving steady employment to our ] workmen and securing to them and Cd. the manufacturer the profits accrufna from increased productions. other rllar- kets must be found Furthermore when our manufactures are dependent on raw materials in whole or in pars imported. it is vital to the extension of . their markets abroad that they secure their materials on the most favorable terms.
 The persistent refusal or the repui.Ii- 'can majority in the federal state to rGtify the reciprocity treaties uegosi- ated in pursuance with the avov,-E policies Of Mir. Blaine and AIr- McKln- ley and expressly sanctioned in the fourth section of the Dingley act itself. is dlscOuraeing exhibition or that faith.

 TRUST REMEDIES. 1 pointed out~iu my earlier resTlar=-- the remedy. which in my judgment ,a1. effectually be applied against monop- olies and the assurlnce was then gIy-,-l that if existing laws. including b1.h statute and common law proved made quate. contrary to my e,,pe -tatsous- 2 favor such further legislation within corstitutioaal limitations as vii best promote and safeguard ths interests oT all the people.
 Whether there is any common law which can be applied and enforced by the federal courts, cannot be detcrmlu- ed by the president. or by a candidate for the presidency.
