innate access to 1t which will deter
mine every turn of its policy.
America Is never going to submit
to guardianship. America is never
going to choose thralldom instead or
freedom. Look what there is to de-
cide There is the tariff question.
Can the tariff question be decided IN
favor of the people. so long as tho
monopoiies are the chief counselors
at Washington? There is the cur
reney question. Are we going to SET
tie the currency question so long as
the government listens only to the
counsel of those who command the
banking situation?
Then there is the question OF con-
servation. What is our fear about
conservation? The hands that are
being stretched out to monopolize our
forests, to prevent or pre-empt the
use of our great power producing
streams the hands that are being
stretched into the bowels of the earth
to take possession of the great riches
that lie hidden in Alaska and else
where in the Incompatible domain
of the United States. are the hands
of monopoly. Are these men to con-
tinue to stand at the elbow of gov
eminent and tell us how we are to
save ourselves-from themselvesY
You can not settle the question 81
conservation While monopoly Is close
to the ears of those who govern. And
the question of conservation Is a great
deal bigger than the question OF saw
ing our forests and our mineral re-
sources and our waters; it is as big
as the life and happiness and strength
and elasticity and hope of our peo-
pie.
There are tasks awaiting the gov
eminent OF the United States which
1t cannot perform until every pulse
of that government beats in unison
with the needs and the desires OF the
whole body OF the American people. ,
Shall we not give the people access Of
sympathy, access of authority. to the
instrnmentalities which are TO be in.
dispensable to their lives?

hundred thousand dollars from a
group of men representing particu-
lar interest that has big stake in a
certain schedule of the tariff, / take
it with the knowledge that those gen.
tlemen will expect me not to forget
their interest in that schedule. and
that they will take it as a point OF
implicit honor that ] should see to
it that they are not damaged by too
great a change in that schedule.
Therefore, If | take their money, l
am bound to them by a tacit impiica-
ton of honor. Perhaps there is no
ground for objection to this situation
so long as the function of government
is conceived to be to look after the
trustees of prosperity. who in turn
will look after the people; but on
any other theory than that of trus-
teeship no interested campaign contri-
buttons can be tolerated for a mo-
ment--save those of the millions of
citizens who thus support the doc
trines they believe and the men whom
they recognized as their spokesman.
! tell you the men / am interested
in are the men who. under the con-
ditions we have had. never had their
voices heard, who never got line in
the newspapers, who never got a mo-
ment on the platform. who never had
access to the ears Of governors or
presidents or of anybody who was re-
sponsible for the conduct of public
affairs, but who went silently and
patiently to their work every day
carrying the burden of the world.
How are they TO be understood by
the masters of finance. IL only the
masters of finance are constituted?
That is what ! mean when / say:
Bring the government back to the
people" / do not mean anything
demagogic; / do not mean to talk as
