Keynote Speech

The Republican party isga party of
progress and achievement.
It has been confronted for years by a
party that has advocated reputation of
the national debt. assailed the national
integrity, proposed the abandonment of
the Nation possessions.
Under long series of Republican ad-
ministrations the wealth and prosperity
of the Nation have made great strides.
The Republican party to-day faces an
opposition that is without an issue. with
out leader. Its advocacy of tariff
reform is fight for free trade.
The Republican tariff policy is an in
tegrsl part of our national life and policy.

by the Republican party. If Democracy
assail us on the question of the Philip
pines. let it define its position. If it be
other than ours let the people decide.
The policy of the State administration
leaves no room for criticism by the
Democratic party. II cannot find an
issue there.
The attack of the Democratic party
on the Panama canal project is futile.
After periods of Democratic idleness
and delay. it was reserved for the Repub-
lican party to make the rural free deliv-
cry system effective.
Contrast of the party with no leaders
and no principles with the party led by
great statesmen and inspired by the
highest ideals. A glowing tribute to the
worth of lndiana's senators and con-
gressmen.

ufacturers of foreign countries at another
time when We were under a tariff revised
by the Democratic party. AS far back as
1919, Monroe says in his message, referring
to the way foreign manufacturers ruined
our manufacturing:
"Their manufactures have been shipped
by their manufacturers to the United
States and in many instances sold at prices
below their current value at the place of
manufacture. Although this practice may,
from its nature, be considered temporary
or contingent, 1t is not on that account
less injurious in its Effects
We were then under the tariff of 1916.
Foreign manufacturers were exploiting our
markets, running our manufacturing insti-
| tutions and establishing the sale of their
products here. And even If the charge OF
| our opponents be true, yet 1t is better that
| American manufacturers get into foreign
markets by that method than that foreign
| manufacturers come into American mar
| kets by the same method.
And, again, they say that the tariff should
| be lowered because we have reached the
| maximum of our prosperity, that il is now
| on the wane, and that, therefore we no
| longer need to preserve this system. Tc
prove this they cite a reduction of wages

And in the meantime what has the DEM
ocratic party been doing? What triumphs
are engraved upon it's banners? What has
it accomplished to warrant the people in
deposing the Republican party from power
and placing the control Of the government
in its hands?
Gentlemen, have you ever permitted

and purposes at different periods I'm our
