don't believe it is necessary
to say it again. There's
quite a difference between
the prices you pay at this

prices you pay at other stores for the
the big Kansas City store to do our

the prices. These are good examples:

men and securing to them and to the
manufacturer the profits accruing from
increased production, other markets
must be found. Furthermore, when
our manufacturers are dependent on
raw materials in whole or in part i'm
ported. 1t is vital to the extension Of
their markets abroad that they secure
their materials on the most favorable
terms.
Our martyred President William
Mckinley, appreciated this situation.
He pointed out In his last address to
the people that we must make sensible
trade arrangements IL 1--WE shall extend
the outlets for our increasing surplus"
He said. "a system which provides a
mutual exchange OF commodities is
manlfestly essential to the continued
and healthful growth of our export
trade. The period of exclusive
ness Is past. The expansion Of our
trade aud commerce is the pressing
problem. Commercial wars are un-
profitable. A policy of good will and
friendly relations will prevent re-
prlsais- Reciprocity treaties are In
harmony with the spirit of the times;
measures OF retaliation are not"
This argument was made In the In
terests of our manufa cturers, whose
products, lie urged. have SO multi
piled. that the problem OF more mar
kets requires our urgent aud immediate
attention" He had come to realize
that the so-called "stand pnt" policy
must give way-that there must be
reduction OF duties to enable our manu-.
facturers to cultivate foreign markets.
McKINLEY's LAST WORDS.
The last words Of this President-who
had won the affection OF his country
men-ought to be studied by every
mnn who has any doubt OF the neces-
slty OF reduction In tarlff rates in
the Interest OF the manufacturer. They
present with clearness II situation ana

clares that Eve favor liberal trade ar.

tions, l favor such further legisla ten,
within constitutional limitations, as
Will best promote and safeguard the
interests of all the people.
Whether there Is any common law
which can be applied and enforced by
the Federal courts, cannot be deter
mined by the President, or by a caudi-
date for the Presidency.
The determination of this question
was left by the people in framing the
Constitution, to the Judiciary and not
to the Executive. The Supreme Court
of the United States has recently con-
sidered this question, and. IN the case
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany vs.. the Call Publishing Company.
to be found In the one hundred and
elghty-first volume OF the United States
Supreme Court reports, at page 92, 1t
decided that common law principles
could be applied by United States
courts In cases involving interstate
commerce, in the absence of United
Stntes statutes specifically covering
the case. Such is the law of the land.
GREATER MARKETS NEEDED.
In my address to the Notification
Committee said that tariff reform "is
uelnanued Dy the DeSt interests or both
manufacturer and consumer" With
equal truth 1t can be said that the ben
efits of reciprocal .raoe treaties would
enure to both. That the consumer
would be helped is unquestlonab BILE.
That the manufacturer would receive
great benefit by extending his markets
abroad hardly needs demonstration.
His productive capacity has outgrown
the home market. The very term,
home market" has changed in its
significance. Once, from the manufac-
turers' point of view. 1t meant expan-
sion; to-day the marvellous growth of
our manufacturing industries has far
exceeded tn, consumptive capacity of
our domestic markets, and the term
"home market" implies contraction,
rather than expansion. II we would
run our mills to their full capacity thus
giving steady employment to our work.
Gilpin observer., 1904-10-06

try, as manifested in its statutes,
makes 1t necessary that tariff reform
should be prudently and sagaciously
undertaken, on scientific principles, to
the end that there should not be an
immediate revolution in existing con-
ditlons.
In the words OF our platform we de-
mand "a revision and gradual reduc-
tion Of the tariff by the friends of the
masses, and for the common veal, and
not by the friends of Its abuses, its
extortions and determinations"
In my response to your committee l

gradual reduction OF customs duties
may be accomplished without disturb
ing business conditions. desire again
to express the opinion that this method
should be followed.

the two-fold result OF cheapening
many imported products for Amer
lean consumers. and Of opening
and enlarging foreign markets to
American producers. Not one of those
agreements has met with the approval
of the Republican masters o. the Sem
nte. Indeed they did net even permit
their consideration. In view of the
attitude of the present Executive, no
new agreement under the general
Treaty power need be expected from
him. Nor does the Republican plat
form contain IL favorable reference to
one of the suspended treaties. This
section of the Dingley act stands forth
as a monument of Legislative cozenage
and political bad faith.
NO TYRANNY OVER OTHERS.
In some quarters 1t has been assumed
that in the discus on CT the Philippine
question In my response, the phrase
''self-goyernment," was intended to
mean something less than independ-
ence. 1t was no. intended that 1t

infant Industries. Many of these In
dustrles, after hundred years Of
lusty growth, are looming up as indus
trial giants. In tLeir case, at least, tho
Dingley tariff invites combination and
monopoly, and gives justification to
the expression that the tarifr IL the
mother OF trusts.
For the above mentioned reasons,
among many others. the people demand
reform of these abuses, and such re-
form demands and should receive i'm

HOPE OF AID FROM THE SENATE
The two leading parties have always
differed as to the principle of customs
taxation. Our party has always ad-
yanced the theory that 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 be
levied primarily for protection, So

state that am in hearty accord with
that plank in our platform that favors
doing for the Filipinos what we have
already done for the Cubans; and
favor making the promise to them now
that we shall take such action as soon
as they are reasonably prepared for 1t.
III independence, such rs the Cubans
enjoy, cannot be prudently granted to
the Filiplnos at this time, the promise
that 1t shall come the moment they
are capable of receiving 1t will tend to
stimulate rather than hinder their de-
velopment. And this should be done
not only In justice to the Fillpinos,
but to preserve our own rights: for
free people cannot withhold freedom
from another people and themselves
remain free. The liberation of tyranny
over others will soon breed contempt
for freedom and self-government. and
weaken our power of resistance to In
sldious usurpation Of our constitutional
rights.
