 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 can d.date for the Presidency.
 The determination of the 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 re- gently considered this question and in the case of the Western Union Teie- graph company vs. the Call Pub fishing company to be found in the 1S1st volume of the United States Su- prene Court Reports. at page 92, it decided that common law principles could be applied by the | aited States courts n cases involving interstate commerce, in the absence Of United States statutes specifically covering the case. Such is the law of the land.
 Reciprocity.
 In. my address to the notification committee 1 said that tariff reform is demanded by the best interests of both manufacturer ma eOn3dme.' With equal truth it can be said that the benefits of reciprocal trade treat ies would inure to both. That the consumer would be helped is unques- tionable. That the manufacturer would receive great benefit by extend ing his markets abroad hardly needs demonstration. His proCuctive capa- city has outgrown the home market. The very term home market" has changed in significance. Once, from the manufacturers point of view, 1t meant expansion; today the marvel ous growth of our manufacturing in dustries has far exceeded the competi- tive 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 employ ment to our workmen and securing to fn fha profits accruing from the increased production. other markets must be found. Furthermore, wheu our man ufacturers are dependent on raw ma terials in whole or in part imported, it is vital to the extension of their markets abroad that they secure their materials on the most favorable terms.
 Our martyred President. Wm Mo Kinley, appreciated this situation. He pointed out in his last aCdress to the people that We must make sensible trade arrangements if we shall ex- tend the outlets for our increasing surplus" He said system which pro vides a mutual exchange of com Inodities is manifestly essential to the continued and healthful growth of our export trade. The period of exclus,veness is past. The expan- sion of our trade and commerce is the pressing problem. Commercial wars are unproftabie. policy of good will and friendly relations will pre- vent Teprisals Reciprocity treaties are in harmony with the spirit cf the times; measures of retaliation are not"
 This argument was made in the in terests of our manufacturers, whose products, he urged. nave so multi piled that the problems of more mar kets requires our urgent and imme- G:ate attention He had come to req lize that the so-called ''stand-pat' policy must give way-that there must be reduction of duties to enable our manufacturers Jo cultivate foreign markets. The last words of this Pl-esident-who had won the affection of his countrymen-ought to be stud jed by every man who mas any doubt of the necessity of a reduction in tariff rates in the interest of the man ufacturer. They present with clear ness a situation and a proposed rem edy that prompted the provision in our platform which declares that we favor liberal trade arrangements with Canada and with the peoples of other C. untries where they can be enter cd into with benefit to American agTi- culture. mining or commerce"
 The persistent refusal of the Re publican majority in the federal senate 10 raufy the reciprocal treaties ne gotiated in pursuance with the advo- cated policy of MT. Blaine and MT. Mckinley and expressly sanctioned by the DingIey act itself,is a discouTag- ing exhibition of bad faith. As al ready mentioned by me. the exorbtant duty imposed on many an imported article by the Dingley tariff was avow- edly intended by its author not to be permanent. but to serve temporarily as a MAXIMUM from which the fed tral government was empowered to offer a reduction, in return for an equivalent concession on the part of a foreign country. President Mckin- ley undertook honestly to carry out the purpose of the act. number or reciprocity agreements were negotiat. cd. which. if ratified, would have had inc two-fold result of cheapening many imported products for American
