thority of the other 1t must be
confessed that in the course of our
history executives have employed
powers not belonging to them
statutes have been passed that were
expressly forbidden by the Consti
tuition and statutes have been set
aside as unconstitutional when it
was difficult to point out the pro-
visions said to be offended against

been done with good purpose, no
doubt, but in disregard, neverlhe-
less, of the fact that ours is a gov
crnment of laws. not of men, de-
riving its Just powers from the
consent of the governed" If we
would have our government con.
time during the ages to come, for

downward in the event that it shall
receive an endorsement of its past
course on that subject by the peo-
pie. 1t is Il fact that should be
frankly conceded that should our
party be successful in the coming
contest we cannot hope to secure n
majority in the Senate during the
next four years, and hence we shall
be unable to secure any modifica-
'lon in the tariff save that to which
the Republican majority in the Sen
ate may consent. While, there
fore, we are unable to give assur-
ances of relief to the people from
such excessive duties as burden
them, it is due to them that we
should state our position to be in
favor of reasonable reduction Of
the tariff; that we believe that it is
demanded by the best interests Of
both manufacturer and consumer,
and that n wise and beneiicent re-
vision of the tariff can be accom-
plished as soon as both branches
of Congress aud an executive in
favor of il are elected, without crea-
ting that sense Of uncertainty and
instability that has on other occa-
sion manifested itself.
This can be achieved by provid.
ing that such n reasonable period
shall intervene between the date of
the enactment of the statute max
ing a revision and the date of its
enforcement as shall be deemed suf.
iicient for the industry or business
affected by such revision to adjust
itself to the changes aud new con-
ditiOns imposed. SO confident am
! in the belief that the demand of
the people for a reform of the tariff
is just, that | indulge the hope that
should a Democratic House of Rep
and Democratic ex-
ecutive be chosen by the people,
even Republican Senate may heed
the warning and consent to give at
least some measure Of relief to the
people.

Trust Growth Due 10 Lack
CT enforcement Of Law.

The combinations popularity called
trusts, which aim to secure mo-
nOpOly of trade in the necessarles
Of life, as well as i'll those things
that are employed upon the farm,
in the factory and in many other
fields Of industry, have been en-
couraged by excessive tariff duties.
These operate to furnish n subStan-
stantal market in the necessities of
so, ,O0O, 600 of people, by practically
excluding competition. With so
large n market aud highly remun-
erative prices continuing long after
the line of possible competition
would naturally be reached, the
temptation of all engaged in the
same business to combine. so as to
prevent competition at home and a
resulting reduction of prices, has
proved irresistible i'll n number of
eases.
All men must agree that the net
result of enacting laws that foster
such inequitable conditions. is most
unfortunate for the people as q
whole, and it would seem as il all
ought to agree that the effective
remedy would be to appropriately
modify the offending law, The
growth of monopoly, of which com
plant is justly made, cannot be
laid at the doors of the courts Of
this country. The decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
the Court of Appeals of this State
and the courts Of last resort in
many ether States, warrant the as.
sertion that the common law as de.
veloped affords IA complete legal
remedy against monopolies. The
fact that they have multiplied in
number and increased in power has
been due, not to the failure of the
courts to apply the law when prop.
erly moved by administrative Off l..
cials or private individuals, but to
the failure of officials charged with
the duty of enforcing the law to
take the necessary procedure to
produce judgments of the courts in
the appropriate jurisdiction, coup
led with the fact that the Legislative
departments of some of our State
governments, as we'll as Congress,
in the manner already referred to
have, by legislation encouraged
their propagation. What is need.
ed-in addition to the basis-is not
so much other and different laws,
as officials having both the dispo.
sition and the courage TO enforce
existing law. While this is my
view Of the scope of the common
law, if it should be made to appear
that it ia mistaken one, then !
favor such further legislation with.
in constitutional limitations as will
give the people Il just and full
measure of protection.

The Tariff.

The present tariff law is unjust
in its operation, excessive in many
OF its rates aud so framed in par.
ticular instances rs to exact inOrdi.
nate profits from the people. So
well understood has this view be.
come that many prominent mem
bers of the Republican party and
at least two of its State conventions
have declared to voice the general
sentiment on that snbject. That
party seems, however, to be collect.
lively able to harmonize only upon
n plank that admits that revision
may from time to time be neces-
sary, but it is so phrased that it is
expected to be satisfactory to those
in favor of an increase of duty, and
to those opposed to any change
whatever.
Judged by the record of perform.
ance, rather than that of promise,
on the part Of that party in the
past, it would seem as if the out.
come, in the event of its success
would be to crafty the latter class.
With absolute control OF both the
legislative and executive depart.
ment Of the government since
March 4, 1897, there has been nei.
ther reduction nor an attempt ut
reduction in tariff duties. It is
not unreasonable to assume, in the
light Of that record, that a future
Congress Of that party will not un-
dertake q revision Of the tariff

life. | shall not be a candidate
for, nor shall ! acceps a renomina-

advanced for this position, but the
controlling one with me is that

bent of that office should ever be
placed in situation Of possible
temptation to consider what the
effect of action taken by him in an
administrative matter Of great i'm
portance might have upon his po.
litical fortunes. Questions Of mo-
mentOus consequence to all OF the
people have been in the past and
will be in the future presented to
the President for determination,

and the arguments bearing upon
them, he should be unembarrassed d
