Homes With One Mother.
In the early portion of his address
Senator Fairbanks made one statement
that was taken by many OF his audi
tors to be a somewhat pointed refer
ence to a social condition more or less
! general here. After dealing in glowing
generalities with the real strength of
| the nation, which he said consisted of
homes established between the Atlantic
/ and Pacific coasts. he said:
In all the splendid history of the
republic. in the final analysis the
American ONE is the unit of the re

there presidcs one mother

Senator Fairbanks speech dealt with

party is the only friend of the indus
tries in which Utah, is especially inter
ested-irrigation, lead, wool. etc. He
J said the claim of Democrats that the
irrigation law is a Democratic meas

Talks Foreign Trade.
I'VE are fortunate in the prevalence
| of prosperity at home and in the main
! tenance of peace and good order in all
! sections of the republic Our country
/ men are busily engaged in increasing
| our commercial strength and in build
I ing homes throughout the republic.
/ The erection of homes is one of the
! evidences of Republican prosperity
/ There have been more homes erected
! during the last seven and half years
| Of Republican administration than any
1 like period during the history of the
/ republic. I'm the final analysis. the
| home is the unit of the strength of the
republic.
The United States, through the
I events of the past few years. has come
| to take a leading part in international
| affairs. We have avoided all inter
| national alliances which might involve
! either the safety or the honor of the
nation. The United States never Occu-
I pied higher place in the esteem of
! the world than il does today. Our dip
: iomacy is predicated upon the princi-
/ pies of International justice. We are
/ DESTROYS of increasing our commercial
/ influence abroad. of charging our for
! eign market i'm the interest of Ameri-
/ can capital and labor.

1T is i'm the utmost degree necessary
| that we should be recognized as a ma
! ton which scrupulously observes the
/ rights of other nations; which seeks
] TO expand its influences. not by the
! power of might but by the irresist-
/ IDLE force of right. The victories of
! right are those alone which endure. A
| continuation Of the present administra-
/ ton means a continuation OF relations
of amity with all powers, great and
1 small alike.
1T means an expansion OF our trade
| with foreign countries. 1t means an
/ increase of our, prestige among the sis
! terhOOd of nations.
THE delicate relations between ether
/ powers in the Orient. and the import
| ance Of preserving there the open door
! TO our commerce, make il OF the ut
most Importance that we should con-
tinue unbroken our present foreign pol
icy. THIS is not matter of sentiment
but II IS essentially a material ques-
: ton. 1t is predicated upon the highest
/ considerations of commercial and ma
tional interest
