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 in
ported, IL 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 If I'VE shall extend
the outlets for our increasing surplus"
He said "a system which provides q
mutual exchange Of commodities is
manifestly essential to the continued
and healthful growth Of our export
trade. The period Of exclusive
ness IS past. The expansion Of our
trade and commerce is the pressing
problem Commercial wars are IN
profitable. A policy Of good viii and
friendly relations wiz prevent re-
prisals- Reciprocity treaties are in
harmony with the spirit Of the times;
measures OF retaliation are not"
This argument was made in the In
teTests OF our manufacturers, whose
products, he urged, shave so multi
Piled that the. problem Of more mar
kets requires our urgent and immediate
attention" He had come to realize
that the sO-called stand paf' policy
must give Way-that there must be a
reduction OF duties to enable our manu-
facturers to cultivate foreign markets.
IcKINLEYS LAST WORDS.

stimulate rather than hinder their de-

not only in justice to the FilipinOs,
but to preserve our own rights; for a
free people cannot withhold freedom
from another people and themselves

over others viii soon breed contempt
for freedom and self-gOvernment, and
weaken our power Of resistance to in

rights.

Inadequate contrary TO my exDecta-
tons, ! favor such further legislation,
within constitutional limitations, as
win best promote and safeguard the
interests OF al 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, OF BY a candi-
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, aud, in the case
Of the Western UaiOn Telegraph Com
Pany vs.. the Call Publishing Company,
TO be found in the one hundred ana
eighty-frst volume Of the United States
Supreme Court reports, at page %, il
decided that common law principles
could be applied by United States
courts in cases involving interstate
commerce, in the absence OF United
States 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
demanded By the best interests OF both
manufacturer and consumer" With
equal truth it can be said that the ben
efits Of reciprocal tra6e treaties would
enure to both. That the consumer
would be helped is unquestiOnable.
That the manufacturer would receive
great benefit by extending his markets
abroad hardly needs demonstration.
His productive capacity has OutgrOwn

significance. Once, from the manufac-
turers' point of view, it meant expan-
sion; to-day tire marvellous growth OF
our manufacturing industries has far
exceeded tho cORsUmptive capacity OF
our domestic markets, and the term
home market implies contraction,
rather than expansion. If we would
run our mills TO their full capacity thus,
giving steady employment to our work

tariff, and against tariff reform gener-
ally, is the necessity OF caring for our
infant industries. Many OF these in
dusUies, after hundred years Of
lusty growth, are looming up as indus
trial giants In their case, at least, the
Dilgley tariff invites combination and
monopoly, and gives justification to
the expression that the tariff is the
mother Of trusts.
For the above mentioned reasons,
among many others. the people demand
reform Of these abuses. and such re-
form demands anu should receive i'm
mediate attention.
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 hOw therefr0m. The
Republican party. on the other hand,
contends that customs duties should be
levied primarily for protection, so
called, with revenue as the subordinate
purpose. thus using the power Of taxa
ton to build up the business and prop
erty Of the few at the expense OF the
many.
This difference Of principle still sub
sists, but our party appreciates that

tariff was aFoEediy intended BY Its
author not to be permanent, but to
serve temporarily as a maximum, from
which the Federal Government was
empowered 70 offer reduction IN re-
turn for IN equivalent concession on
the part Of foreign country. PreSi-
dent Mckinley undertook honestly to
carry out the purpose Of this section
OF the act A number OF reciprocity
agreements we're negotiated within
the prescribed limit OF two years,
which, If ratified, would have had
the twO-feld result Of cheapening
many imported products for Amer
lean consumers. and OF opening
and charging foreign markets to
American producers. Not one Of those
agreements has met with the approval
Of the Republican masters OF the Sen
ate. Indeed they did not 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 a 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.
