Cost of Living Arranged by Private Understanding
and Not by the Ancient Law of Supply and Demand

Moreover, we begin to perceive some things about the movement Of
prices that concern us very deeply and fix our attention upon the tariff
schedules with a more definite determination than ever to get to the bottom
of this matter. We have been looking into it, at trials held under the Sher-
man act and in Investigations in the committee rooms of Congress, where
men who wanted to know the real facts have been busy with inquiry; and
we begin to see very clearly what at east some of the methods are by which
prices are fixed. We know that they are not fixed by the competitions of the
stated in all the primers of economics, but by private arrangements with
regard to what the supply should be and agreements among the producers
themselves. Those who buy are OF even represented by counsel The
high costo Of living is arranged by private understanding.
We naturally ask ourselves, how did these gentlemen get control of
these things? Who handed on economic laws over to them for Legislative
and contractual alteration :? We have in these disclosures still another view
of the tariff, still another proof that, not the people of the United States
but only very small number of them, have been partners in that legisla-
ton Those few have learned how to control tariff legislation, and as they
of the same interest have drawn together, have united their enterprises and

New Spirit Has Begun to
Show Itself in Business

LET me say again, that what We
are seeking is not destruction of any
kind, nor the disruption of any sound
or honest thing, but merely the rule
of right and of the common advan-
tage. l am happy to say that a new
spirit has begun to show itself in the
last year or two among influential
men of business, and, what is per-
haps even more significant, among the
lawyers who are their expert advis-
ers; and that this spirit has displayed
itself very notably in the last few
months in an effort to return, In some
degree, at any rate, to the practises
of genuine competition. Only a very
little while ago our men of business
were united in resisting every pro-
! posal oGchange and reform as an at
tack on business. an embarrassment
to all large enterprise, an intimation
| that settled ideas of property were to
be set aside and a new and strange
order of things created out of hand,
| While they thought in that way prog
ress seemed impossible without hot
contest and a bitter clash between
interests, almost a war of classes.

Nation UnreasonabIy at War with Itself and Great
Duty of Adjustment Must Be Undertaken by Party

"We are servants of the people, the whole people. The nation has been
unnecessarily unreasonably at ar within itself Interest has clahed with
interest when there we're common principles of right and of fair dealing
which might and Should have bound them all together, not as rivals, but as
partners. AS the servants of all we ire bound to undertake the great duty
of accommodation and adjustment
1--WE cannot undertake it except in a spirit which some find it hard to
understand. Some people only smile when you speak of yourself as a
servant Of the people; it seems to them like afectation or mere dema-
goguery. They ask what the unthinking crowd knows or comprehends of
great complicated matters of government They shrug their shoulders and
lift their eyebrows when you speak as if you really believed in presidential
primaries, in the direct election of United States senators and in an utur
publicity about everything that concerns government from the sources of
campaign funds to the intimate debate of the highest affairs of state.
They do not or will not comprehend the solemn thing that is in your
thought You know Is well al they do that there are all sorts and condi-
lions of men-the minimizing mixed with the wise, the reckless with the
prudent, the inscriptions with the fair and honest-and you know what
they sometimes forget that every class, without exception, affords a sample
of the mixture, the learned and the fortunate NJ less than the uneducaed
and the struggling mass. But you see more than they do. You SCI tina.
these multitudes of men, mixed of every kind and quality, constitute some
how an organic and noble whole, a single people, and that they have in
terests which no man can privately determine without their knowledge ana
counsel. That is the meaning of representative government ftself. Repre-
sentative government is nothing more nor less than an effort to give voice
to this great body through Spokesman chosen out Of every grade and class.

Tariff Schedules Have Been Made for Purpose of Keeping
Rich Manufacturers in Good Humor with Republicans"

"Yop4hay think that am wandering off into a general disquiiion that
has little TO do with the business in hand; but am not This is business
business of the deepest sort 1t will solve our difficulties if you will but
take it as business.
"See how it makes business out of the tariff question. The tariff oues-
fon, a dealt with in u time at any rate, has not been business. 1t has
been politics. Tariff schedules have been made up for the purpose of keep
ing as large a number a possible of the rich and influential manufacturers

conceal 1t becomes a matter of business, of legitimate business. only when
the partnership and understanding it represents is between the leaders Of
Congress and the whole people Of the United States, instead of between the
leaders of Congress and small groups of manufacturers demanding special
recognition and consideration. That is why the general idea of representa-
tive government becomes a necessary part Of the tariff question. Who,
when you come down to the hard facts of the matter, have been represented
IN recent years when ~ tariff schedules were being discussed and deter.
mined, not on the floor OF Congress, for that is not where they have been
determined, but in the committee rooms and conferences? That is the
heart of the whole affair. Will you, a you, bring the whole people into
the partnership Or not? No one is discontinued with representative py
ernment; it falls under question only when it ceases to be representative
II is at bottom a question of good faith and morals.

No Greater Question Now
Exists Than Conservation

THE rule of the people is no idle
phrase; those who believe in 1t, as
who does not that has caught the
real spirit of America?-believe that
there can be no rule of right without
It,. that right in politics is made VI
of the interests of everybody, and
everybody should take part in the
action that is to determine 1t. We
have been keen for presidential pri-
maries and the direct election oi
United States Senators, because we
wanted the action of the Govern
ment to be determined by persons
whom the people had actually desig-
mated as men whom they were ready
to trust and follow. We have beer
anxious that all campaign contribu-
tons and expenditures should be dis
closed to the public in fullest detail,
because we regarded the influences
which govern campaigns to be as
much a art of the peoples business
as anything else connected with their
government. We are working to-
ward a very definite object, the n
versal partnership in public affairs
upon which the purity of politics
and its aim and spirit depend.
For there is much for the partners
to undertake. In the affairs of a
great nation we plan and labor not
for the present only, but for the long
future as well. There are great tasks
of protection and conservation and
development to wnich we have to ad-
dress ourselves. Government has
much more to do than merely to
right wrongs and set the house in
order.
"I dc n know any greater ques-
ton than hat of conservation. We
have been a spendthrift nation and
must now husband what we have
left. We must do more than that.
We must develop, as we'll as pre-
serve. our water powers and must
add great waterways to the trans
portation facilities of the nation, 10
supplement the railways within our
borders as well as upon the isthmus.

Should Go Into Campaign
Confident Of Party Course

I'VE should go into this campaign
confident of only one thing-confident
of what we want to 90 if entrusted
with the government. 1t is not a par
tisan fight we are entering upon. We
are happily excused from personal
attacks upon opponents and from all
general Indictments against the men
opposed to us. The facts are patent
20 everybody; we do not have to
prove them; the mere frank mons
our opponents admit them. Our
thinking must be constructive from
start to finish. We must show that
we understand the problems hat cen-
front US, and hat we are scberly-
minded to deal with them. applying
to them, not nostrums and notions,
but hard sense and good courage.
"A presidential campaign may cas-
lily degenerate into a mere personal
contest and SO lose its real dignity
and significance. There is no indis-
pensable mans The government
will not collapse and go to pieces
if n n of the gentlemen who
are seeking to be intrusted with its
guidance should be left at home. But
men are Instruments. We are az
important as the cause we repre-
sent. and in order to be important.
must really represent a cause. What
is our cause? The peoples cause?
That is easy to say, but what does
it mean? The common as against
any particular interest whatever?
Yes, but that, too, needs translation
into acts and policies. We repre-
sent the desire to set up an unen-
tangled government, a government
that cannot be used for private pur-
poses, either in the field of business
or in the field of politics; a govern
ment that viii not tolerate the use
of the organization of a great party
to serve the personal aims and am
billions of any Individual, and that

ployed to further any private inter-

ference of untrammeled men united
in the common interest. Should l b.

| seemed yen to resent discussion as a
manifestation of hostility towards
themselves. They talked constantly
about vested interests and were very
hot.
1T is a happy omen thai their at
titude has changed. They see that
what is right can hurt no man; that
a new adjustment of interests is in
eVitable ands desirable, is in the in
terest of everybody; hat their own
honor, their own intelligence, their
practical comprehension of af-
fairs is involved. They are begin
ming to adjust their business to the
new standards. Their hand is no
longer against the nation; they are
a part of it; their interests are
bound up with its interests. This
is not true of all of them, but it is
true of enough of them to show
what the new age is to be. and how
the anxieties of statesmen are to be
eased. If the light that is dawning
brightens into day.
IF I am right about this it is going
to be easier to act in accordance
/ with the rule of right and justice in
dealing with the labor question. The
~so-called labor question is a question
only because we have not yet found
n rule of right in adjusting the
interests of labor and capital. The
Weifare, the happiness. the energy
and spirit fof the men and women
who do the daily work in our mines
and factories. on our railroads. in
our offices. and marts of trade. on
our farms and on the sea, is the
essence OF our national life. There
can be nothing wholesome unless
their life Is wholesome; there can be
no contentment unless they are con-
tented Their physical welfare af-
fects the ~soundness of the whole
nation. We shall never get very

matters SO long as we regard every
thing lone for the working man. bv

a nation.
The working people of America
If they must be distinguished from
the minority that constitutes the rest
of it-are, of course. the backbone of
the nation. No law that safeguards
their life, that improves the physical
and moral condition under which they
live, that makes their hours of labor
rationable and tolerable, that gives
then freedom to act in their own in
terest, and that protects them where
they cannot protect themselves, can
properly be regarded as class legis-
lation or as anything but as a meas
ure taken in the interest of the whole
people, whose partnership in right
action we are trying to establish and
make real and practical. 1t is in this
spirit that we shall act If we are
