 We stand for 8 protective tariff but we wish to see the benefits of the protective tariff get into the pay envelope of the wage worker We wish to increase the amount of the prize money that is rightfully dus those who work hard in industry, but we stand for a more equitable division of the prize money We do not accept the view that greed and selfishness are the only factors to be considered in government We insist that in mans nature there is some thing noble, something lofty, to which 1t is possible to appeal, and we make our appeal therefore, not only to his self interest, but also to what is high est and best in him. It is not righ. that he should neglect his self-inter- est No man can do his duty by the state as a whole unless he pulls his own weight We intend to work for broader and kindlier charity of relationship as between man and man.
 The progressive platform has really faced the real issues of today. It has done this as regards the trusts, as regards tho rights of labor as regards the tariff l do not see how the people of New England can sup port either the republican or the democratic tariff platform. Remem- Der that when | use the word repuO- lican now, I do not refer to the rank and file of the republican party, but to the bosses who have usurped the control of the machinery of the party.
 "The republican proposal of a tariff is for the country The democratic proposal is a tariff for the destruc- ton of industry. The progressive proposal is q tariff in the interest of labor in industry.
 "At the time when the Payne AL drich bill was put through congress it was currently reported that the cot ton schedule, for instance, was writ ten by a then private citizen of Rhode Island. now a senator from your state, Mir Lippitt, and MT. Lip pitt was credited with making the statement that Mir Aldrich had been good to him. Tine republican pGr nose is to have future tariffs written by the Mir Lippitts of the party The democratic proposal is to hurt Mr Lippitts by hurting everybody, big and little. connected with the indus tries. Our proposal is not merely to reform schedules of the tariff, but to reform the methods and purposes of tariff making.
 We propose to reduce the various schedules as to what duty is undoubt- edly too high We propose to deal with the tariff schedule by schedule in accordance with reports Of a non partican commission of experts
 Acting. after getting full informa ton from such a commission We will give the MT I4ippitts their rights, but instead of permitting them to make the tariff we shall carefully investi- gate how their business is carried on We shall get the judgment of those able to say what the needs of the wofkmen employed by the MT. Lip pitts are and say whether enough oi the tariff gets into the pay envelopC of the workman The iudgme@. o those able to say whether the con sumer, the average citizen who buy MT. Lippitts' products, also gets fail treatment.
 "If the democratic platform were carried out in good faith. your factor i ies would have to close altogether | for their proposal is to prevent tho Mir. Lippitts from prospering by th' simple process of preventing ever, one from prospering. The republican proposal is only 10 give prosperity tC the Mir I.ippitts and then to let i trickle down accordingly as they may | condescend 10 permit such trickling | Our proposal is to keep the factories open. to see that the Mir. Lippitt. receive full justice, but 10 see alsC that they do justice.
 "One of our national problems call l ing for immediate solution is that O. our banking and currency system. | has been demonstrated that the pres ent political system is unscientifil and inefficient The loss occasione | by our present defective system 0 | credits and reserves has in times pas been very great and we can not b,
