Washington, May 15.-After the
platform had been made by the con-
ference of governors the president in
troduced Mr.. Brayn who began a
speech.
Mr.. Bryan acknowledged his obliga-
tons to the president for the oppor-
tunity of participating in a historic
event of this magnitude. The discus
sion had already. he said. helped de-
fine the proper sphere of natural and
state control He said he was jealous
of any eucroachment on the rights OF
the state, but it was entirely consist
ent with his theory to believe that 1T
was just as imperative that the gener-
al government should discharge the
duties delegated to 1t as it was that the
state should exercise the power re-
served to them.
There is no twilight zone between
the nation and state" continued Mr..
Bryan, Gin which exploiting interests
can take refuge from both and my
observation is that most-not all but
most-of the contentious over the line
between nation and state are traceable
to predatory corporations, which are
trying to shield themselves from de-
served punishment, or endeavoring to
prevent needed restraining legislation"
Mr.. Bryan said we should not only
preserve the nations resources for flu
ture generations but should see to 1t
that these were not monopolized by a
few of the people and future genera
lions should not be fettered with per-
petual franchises. Coal, iron and
timber on the free list would tend to
reduce the waste and exploitation of
our own measures. Mr.. Bryan said
Mr.. Hill had rendered real service in
pointing out the impairment of the
crop value of our soil which should
lead to still further enlargement of
the work of the department. of agri-
culture. Irrigation was thoroughly
justified, Mr.. Bryan continued, "by the
transformation of a desert into a field
and garden and state and nation could
there find legitimate field for activi-
ty. Drainage of the swamps, too, was
legitimate and no subject more fully
justified the attention given by the
conference than that of forestry. The
field was so large, he said. and the
need for action so urgent that both
state and nation could exercise them
selves to the full without doing too
much.
Mr.. Bryan said the development of
water transportation was essentially
a national project, yet the states
might do a certain amount of develop
ing If they were permitted to avail
themselves of the water power that
could be realized. In conclusion he

bureau Wednesday night issued the
following flood bulletin:
THE heavy rains that have fallen

heavy in the vicinity of Raleigh, N.

PROVES NEED OF REFORM.
Protective Tariff League Provides
Argument for Democrats.

The Protective Tariff league has is-
sued bulletin asking the beneficiAries
OF the tariff to get TO work at once on
the scientific facts" as to the cost of
production in foreign countries, COM
pared with the cost of production In
the United States. This evidence of
cost is to be presented to the commit
tee on ways and means to show that
II twould be ruination to the trusts and
manufacturers to have their tariff pro-
lection reduced and be compelled to
compete with foreign producers.
The league has given its members a
hard nut to crack, for the English,
German and French manufacturers
are not likely to furnish the secret of
the cost of producing their goods to
their competitors here The real OBJ
ject of the league is to show that the
foreign manufacturer can produce
mtIJn cheaper tnan the American
manufacturer can, because labor is
cheaper abroad than here. And the
argument of the league is embalmed
by the stand-patters in the Republican
piabAOl WhASh uCCiolNCs
TN all tariff legislation the true
principle OF protection is best main
tanned by the imposition of such du-
ties as will equal the difference be-
tween the cost Of production at home
and abroad, together with a reason
able profit to American industries"
There is one serious stumbling
block to putting this standpat theory
OF the differences in cost here and
abroad into practical operation. and
that is the well-known aversion of
manufacturers to give away the
secrets of their trade and expose their
profits. Some Of our manufacturers
are declaring they must have more
protection. for instance the potters'
trust. with headquarters at Trenton,
n. j., is demanding higher tariR rates
on its products, and some Republican
congressman, including Speaker Can
non, have promised 1t to them. Prob
ably other trusts have been assured of
greater tariff protection by the Re
publican managers, il they aid lib
orally with contributions to the cam
paign fund.
But how can the Republicans ex-
plain away the fact that many of the
protected trusts are selling abroad
cheaper than at home? To do that
successfully the labor cost here must
be even less than the labor cost
abroad, brought about by the use of
superior machinery and the more agile
and competent American workmen
That is the very best evidence of
the necessity OF tariff reform, for why
should not the American people have
a chance at the bargain counter which
the trusts and combines offer, as well
as foreigners? II the cost Of produc-
tion here is so much greater than
abroad that the trusts have TO be pro-
tected from foreign competition by an
average tariff tax of rs per cent. and
more on manufactured products. how
can the trusts undersell the foreigners
on their own ground?
