Ships Needed to Open Up
Trade in Foreign Markets

1.-The question of a merchant marine
turns back to the tariff again, to
which all roads seem to lead, and to
our registry laws, which, if coupled
with the tariff, might almost be sup
posed to have been intended to take
the American flag off the seas.
Bounties are not necessary, If you
will but undo some of the things that
have been done. Without a great
merchant marine we cannot take our
rightful place in the m of the
world. Merchants who must depend
upon the carriers of rival mercantile
nations to carry their goods to mar
ket are at a disadvantage in inter-,
national trade too manifest to need to
be pointed out; and our merchants
will not long suffer themselves-ought
not to suffer themselves-to be placed
at such a disadvantage. Our indus
tries have expanded to such a point
that they will burst their jackets, If
they cannot find a free outlet to the
markets of the world; and they can
not find such an outlet unless they
be given ships of their own to carry
their g~oods-ships that will go the
routes they want them to go-and
prefer the interests of America in
their sailing orders and their equip
ment. Our domestic markets no
longer suffice. We need foreign mar
kets. That is another force that is
going to break the tariff down. The
tariff vas once a bulwark; now il is
a dam. For trade is reciprocal; we
cannot sell unless we also buy.
"The very fact that we have at last
taken the Panama canal seriously in
hand and are vigorously pushing it,
towards completion is eloquent of our
reawakened interest in international
trade. We are not building the cana.
and pouring million upon million
of money upon its construction
merely to establish a water nnec
ton between the two coasts Of the
continent, important and desirable as
that may be, particularly from the
point of view of naval defense. II Is

For Merchant Marine and
Adoption Of Parcels Post

1--WE must revive our merchant marine,
too. and I'LL the seas again with our own
fleets. We must add to our present
post-oface service a parcels post ms COM
plete as tina of any other. nation. We
must look to the health of our people
Upon every hand, as well as hearten
them with justice and opportunity. h
is the constructive work of government
This is the policy that has a vision and
q hope and that looks to serve mankind.
There are many sides to these
great matters. Conservation is easy
to g~eneralize about, but hard to par
ticularize about wisely. Reservation
is not the whole of conservation. The
development of great States must not
be stayed indefinitely to await a pol
icy by which our forests and water
powers can prudently be made use OF
Use and development must go hand In
hand. The policy we adopt must be
progressive. not negative, merely, as
if we did not know what to do.
"With regard to the development OF
| greater and more numerous water.
ways and the building up of a mer-
chant marine, We must follow great
constructive lines and not fall back
upon the cheap device of bounties and
subsidies. In the case of the Missis-
sippi river. that great central artery
of our trade, it is plain that the fed
eral government must build and
maintain the levees and keep the
great waters in harness for the gen.
eral use. 1t is plain, too, that vast
sums of money must be spent to de-
velop new waterways where trade
will be most served and transporta-
ton most readily cheapened by them
Such expenditures are no largess on
the part of the government; they are

support of the government; but that is not my present point. We denounce
the Payne-Aldrch tariff act a the most conspicuous example ever afforded
the country of the special favors and monopolishc advantages which the
leaders of the Republican party have 5 o often shown themselves willing to
extend to those to whom they looked for campaign contributions. Tariff
duties a they have employed them, have not been a means of setting up
an equitable system of protection. They have been, on the contrary a
method of fostering special privilege They have made it easy to establish
monopoly in our domestic markets. Trusts have owed their origin and their
secure power to them. The economic freedom of our people, our prosperity
trade, our untrammeled energy in manufacture depend upon their recon-
sideraton from top to bottom in IN entirely different spirit.
eve do not ignore the fact that the business of a country like ours is
exceedingly sensitive to changes in Legislation of this kind. 1t has been
built up, however il-advisedly, upon tariff schedules written in the way |
have indicated, and its foundations must not be too radically or too sud
denly disturbed. When we act We should act with caution and prudence,
like men who know what they ire about, and not like those in love with a
theory. 1t is obvious that the changes we make should be made only at
such rate and in such a way as will least interfere with the normal and
healthful course of commerce and manufacture.

THE general terms of the present
Federal antitrust law. f~orbidding
combinations in restraint of trade,
have apparently proved Intellectual.
Trusts have grown up under it's ban
very luxuriantly, and have pursued
the. methods by which so many of
them have established virtual
~monopolies without serious let OF
hindrance. 1t has roared against
| them like any sucking dove. l am
not assessing the responsibility, ] am
merely stating the fact. But the means
and methods by which trusts have es-
tablished monopolies havenow become
known. 1t win be necessary to sup
plement the present law with such
laws, both civil and criminal, as Will
effectually punish and prevent those
methods, adding such other laws as
may be necessary to provide suitable
and adequate judicial processes,
whether civil or criminal, to disclose
them and follow them to final verdict
| and judgment. They must be. specifi-
| cally and directly met by law as
the~ysdevelop.
But the problem and the difficulty
are much greater than that. There
are not merely great trusts and COM
binations which are to be controlled
and deprived of their power to create
monopolies and destroy rivals; there
is still something bigger still than
they are and more subtle, more
evasive, more difficult to deal with.
There are vast confederacies (as- L
may perhaps call them for the sake
of convenience of banks, railways.
express companies. insurance compa-
MES, manufacturing corporations.
mining corporations, power and de-
velopment companies and all the rest
of the circle, bound together by the
fact that the ownership of their stock
and the members of their boards of
directors are controlled and deter
mined by comparatively small and
closely i~nter-related groups of per-
tsons who, by their informal confed-
eracW may control, if they please
and when they will, both credit and
enterprise. There is nothing Illegal
about these confederacies, so far as
I can perceive. They nave come
about very naturally, generally with
out plan or deliberation. rather be-
cause there was SO much money to
be invested and it was in the hands,
at great financial centres, of men
acquainted with one another n in
timately associated in business, than
because anyone had conceived and
was carrying out a plan of general
| control; but they are none the less
potent a force in our onomi inc

Believes Country May Never Return to Individual

GUS to the liberties, even the economic liberties, of a great people like our
own, full of intelligence and of indomhabe courage. am not afraid Of
anything that is normal. daresay we shall never return to the old order
of individual competition, and that the organization of business upon a.
great scale of cooperation is, up to a certain point, itself normal and in

"Power in the hands of great business men does not make m apprehen-
sive, unless it springs ut of advantages which they have not created for
themselves. Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because
its bigness is an unwhoesome initiation created by privileges and exemp-
tons which it ought not to enjoy While competition cannot be created by
statutory enactment it can in large measure be revived by changing the
laws and forbidding the practise. that killed it, and by enachng laws that

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Regarding Health
Statistics.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
OF the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes a chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot be
brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow According to health sta
tistics, Bright's disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in
1910, in the state of New York alone
Therefore, it behooves us to pay more
attention to the health Of these most
important organs.
An IDEAL herbal compound that has
remarkable success as kidney rem
edy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation is soon realized. 1t stands
