class rate which is prohibitive as APP
piled to this class of service.
The rural carriers in the service, Of
which Mr.. De Graw is the head, daily
pass 100000 homes, and he recon-
mends once more the adoption of a uni
form suitable to the conditions under
which they must work as undoubtedly
adding to the dignity and efficiency OF
the rural service. Their high standard
of efficiency is attested by the fact that
only 165 carriers out of a total number
of 69,143 were dismissed for cause dur
ing the past year.
Rural delivery is now in operation on
945,OS7 miles of road, over which car
rierS are required to travel daily. OF
these roads $4,000 miles are macadam,
the remainder being earth, sand or
gravel Since the service was first
established $40, 632 1852 has been expend-
ed on roads Travelled by rural carriers.
Road officials and patrons are notified
whenever repairs are necessary on
rural routes. More work has been done
on such public highways and more ex-
penditures made in their improveme nt
during the past year than in any previ-
Gus year in the history of rural deliv-
cry and the official reports received
clearly indicate that interest in road

master General De Graw is $50, 246, 900,

during the year there were received 49,

returned to senders 7,202,6S4 letters and
parcels, or almost two million more

day of the fiscal year every piece of
mail matter received had been opened

PROTECTION OF CITIZENS
 ABROAD.

The position which our govern ment has won before the world under the republican administration should inure to the benefit of everyone, ev- en the humblest of those entitled to look to the American flag for protec- tiOn without regard to race, creed or color, or whether he is a citizen of the United States or any of our de- pendencies. In some countries with which we are on friendly terms. distinctions are made in respect to the treatment of our citizens travel ing abroad and having passports of our executive, based on considera- tions that are repugnant to the prin- ciples of our government and civil ization. The republican party and administration will continue to make every proper endeavor to secure the abolition of such distinctions which in our eyes are needless and oppro- brious.
 ASIATIc IMMIGRATION.
 In the matter of the limitation up- on Asistic immigration referred to in the democratic platform, it is suf- ficient to say that the presnt re- publican administration has shown itself able by diplomatic negotiations and without unnecessary friction with self-respecting governments to minimize the evils suggested and a subsequent republican administration may be counted on to continue the same policy.
 CONSERVATION OF NATURAL
 RESOURCES.
 ha of irfa nf sources is a subject to which the presnt administration has given es- pecial attention. The necessity for a comprehensive and systematic inn provement of our waterways, the preservation of our soil and of our forests, the securing from private ap- propriation the power in navigable streams, the retention of the undis- posed coal lands of the government from alienation, all will properly claim from the next administration earnest attention and appropriate legislation
 NATIONAL HEALTH BUREAU.
 I have long been of the opinion that the various agencies of the gov ernment established for the preser- vatiOn of the national health scat tered through several vicinities should be rendered more efficient by uniting them in a bureau of the gov ernment under a competent head, and that I understand to be in ef- feet the recommendation of both par ties.
 CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY.
 Another plank of the democratic platform refers to the failure of the republican convention to express an opinion in favor of the publicity of received and eXpendi- lures made in elections. Here again we contract our opponents promises with our own acts. Great improve ment has taken place under republi- can auspices in respect to the col lection and expenditure of money for this purpose. The old and per nicious system of levying a tax upon the salaries of government employees in order to pay the expenses of the party in control of the administra- tion has been abolished by statute By a. law passed by the republican congress in 1907 contributions by to influence or pay the

didates May we not appeal to these courageous and independent citizens to again give us their support in this campaign. because the reasons for their breaking the bonds of party are stronger today than ever before.
 THE LENGTH OF THE SPEECH
 have now reviewed at great length the principles at issue between the two parties. When I began the prepara- tion of this speech, I hoped to make it much briefer than it is but I found on an examination of the platform and on a consideration of the many measures passed during the present administra- ton and the issue arising out of them that it was impossible to deal with the subjects comprehensively without proper explanation and qualification in a short dispatch. This is my ex- cuse.
 DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARTIES
 l have pointed out that the attitude of the republican party with reference to evils which have crept in due to the enormous material expansion of this country. is to con tinue the Roosevelt policies of pro gress and regulation while the attitude of the democratic party under its present leadership is to change for the sake of change to the point of irresponsible destruction, and that there is no hope whatever of a restor ation Of prosperity in returning it to power. As said in our platform. we republicans go before the country ask ing the support not only of those who acted with us heretofore. but of all our fellow citizens who. regardless of past political difference unite in the de- sire to maintain the policies. perpet- uate the blessings and make secure the achievements of a greater America

an appeal to the American people for their approval.
 The foreign policy of this country under the administration has greatly contributed to the peace of the world. The important part the administration took in bringing about an end of the Russian Japanese war by g treaty honorable to both parties and the pre- vention of wars in Central America and Cuba are striking instances of this. The arbitration treaties signed with all the important nations of the world mark a great step forward in the development of the usefulness of the Hague tribunal. The visit of Secretary Root to South America has solidified our friendship for our sister republics which are making such strides in the southern hemisphere and met with a most cordial and gratify- ing response from our Latin American colleagues. The assistance which we are rendering in SantO Domingo to en- able that government to meet her obligations and avert anarchy is another instance of the work of this administration in helping our neigh bors.
 This administration has by the promptness, skill and energy of it's ne gotiations secured domain in the can al zone. of the isthmus of Panama without which the construction of the canal would have been impossible. It has subdued the heretofore insur- mountable obstacle of disease, and made the place of work healthy. It has created such an organization that in six years certainly. and probably in less. the Atlantic and the Pacific will be united. to the everlasting benefit of the worlds commerce and the ef- fectiveness of our navy will be doubled
 The statement of things actually done by the administration, at home. in our dependencies, and in foreign af- fairs, show a marvel of successful ac- complishment and if ever a party has entitled itself to the approval of its works by the renewed mandate of power from the people whom it served. it Is the republican party in the pres ent campaign.
 The only respect in which nothing has been done is in the department of our foreign marine. As long as We uphold the system of protection for our home industries, we must recOg- nize that it is inapplicable to assist those of our citizens engaged in the foreign ship building because there is no feasible means of excluding foreign competition and that the only other method of building such a business is by direct aid in the form of a mail subsidy. I am in favor of the bill considered in the last con- gress as a tentative step The establishment of direct steam ship lines between our Atlantic ports and South America would cer- tainly do much to develop a trade that might be made far greater. On the Pacific the whole shipping trade threatens to pass into the control of Ja- pan. Something ought to be done and the bill which failed was a step in the right direction.
