 tagonism to harmful combinations why the protective tarif polb-y should be considered definitely established : which. in addition to it's other sins. i contributes to the situation that per- mits a combination or monopoly to sell abroad articles of our manufac- ture at lower prices than are exacted from our own citizens at home.
 They will see the sheer wrongfulness of this condition so clearly, and they will so firmly believe that in this way they are made to bear tariff burdens in order that they may be discrimi- mated against in favor of foreign con sumers. that they will not be satisfied with the assurance that the tarif has nothing to do with trusts. They will consign such an explanation to the limbo of negation. to take its place with the outworn deception that the foreign exporter pays our tariff taxes and with two other sadly weak pre- lenses. one that the tariff should be reformed only by its friends. and the other that the party which believes that a protective tariff as a policy ought to be considered as definitely es- tablished loves reciprocity in trade.
 When the platform boast is made that fin the Philippines we have sup
 
 and given to life and property a secur- ity never known before" a confession will be extorted that the insurrection suppressed was no more than crushing out resistance to the army of the United States while that army was en- gagged in the subjugation of a people thousands of miles from our shores when an incident of war undertaken by us ipS aid of those struggling forI liberty and independence in another quarter had put them within our power; and people will ask under what sanction was this subjugation entered upon by a nation pledged to the doc- Urine that all just powers of govern ment are derived from the consent of the governed, and they will deny that imperialism and our fOrcible rule of foreign people have any place among the purposes of our national life
 When credit Is claimed for securing route for a long-desired inter-oceanfcI waterway, 1t will not be in a carpfne spirit that people will look at the incl dents Accompanying this achievement They do not underEalue the object gained, but they keenly appreciate the importance and value of our national honor our national good name, and. above all, our national morality. Not
  complished will close the eyes of thoughtful Americans 10 the fact that in reaching the results we have exhib- ited such international ruthlessness and such selfish international immor- ality as have lastingly debilitated our reputation for good faith, and the es- tablished precedent which in time to come may be invoked to justify the most startling and reprehensible aban- donment of high ideals which have made us an example of the best civil ization, people happy as we are in- telligently free, strong as we are scrupulously just, and everywhere trusted and honOred. we undeviatingIy| follow in the way of uprightness and rectitude.
 I have ventured to suggest the mis- leading purpose of the vaingIorious claims made by the party organization which seeks a continuance Of political control, and to intimate the humiIiat- iHs estimate of our peoples intelli- gence and IatriOtic vigilance, which the exploitation of these claims in- yolve. It is surely not a narrow par tisan's hope which prompts me to en- treat my countrymen to hold fast and sure their independence of thought and their courage in judgment, nor do speak in a tone of partisanship- when l beg them to remember that the true greatness and glory of our nation can not safely rest upon wealth, which finds it's way to the few at the expense Of the many, nor upon such material success as conta inmates purity or blunts the potency of patriotism, nor l upon expansion in disregard of our na- | tional mission and intent, nor upon the achievements that put in question our national morality. Above all, greater than all. guarding and protecting all and fostering everything that Amer ican patriotism should covet, are the | service and devotion to country of sincere people, who believe that, if their government is preserved in it's simplicity and defended against per version, it's blessings of happiness, contentment and true prosperity will, in bounteous measure, visit every corr ner of our land.
 do not speak. however, as a demo- crat attached to democratic principles and anxious for the ascendancy of my party when I congratulate the democ- racy of our country upon the clear and satisfactory statements in our party platform and upon the manner in which its doctrines are persOnihed by our candidates. We pledge to our countrymen. through our platform, genuine. prosperity, safety and a return to the way marked out by our cOnsti- tuition; and we promise, through our candidates. that if 1t Is the peoples will. our platform shall be carried out. and that under our governmental management, democratic conservatism and care shall rule national councils to the exclusion of rash impulse and spec | tacular demonstration. desire to con- graduate you, my old neighbors and citizens of what I love to call my old
