1T is clear to the whole country that
the tariff duties must be altered. They
must be changed to meet the radical
| alteration in the conditions of our eco
nomic life which the country has wit
| messed within the last generation.
While the whole face and method of
our industrial and commercial life
were being changed beyond recogni.
ton the tariff schedules have remain-
ed what they were before the change
began, or have moved in the direction
they were given when no large cir
cumstance OF our industrial develop
ment was what it is to-day.
Fix the Tariff and Business VIII
Thrive.
Our task is to square them with
the actual facts. The sooner that is
done the sooner We shall escape from
suffering from the facts and the soon
er our men of business will be free 10
thrive by the law of nature (tEe ma
ture Of free business) instead of by
the law of legislation and artificial ar
rangement.
I'VE have seen tariff legislation
wander very far afield in our day
very far indeed from the field in which
our prosperity might have had nor
nal growth and stimulation. No one
who looks the facts squarely in the
face or knows anything that lies be-
meath the surface of action can fail to
perceive the principles upon which re-
cent tariff Legislation has been based
We long ago passed beyond the
modest notion of protecting the in
dustries of the country and moved
boldly forward to the idea that they
were entitled to the direct patronage
OF the government. For long time
time so long that the men now active
in public policy hardly remember the
conditions that preceded tive have
sought in our tariff schedules to give
each group of manufacturers or pro-
ducers what they themselves thought
that they needed in order to maintain
a practically exclusive market as
against the rest of the world.
Privilege Must Give Way to Free
Business.
Consciously or uncoEsciously, we
have built up set of privileges and
exemptions from competition behind
which 1t was easy by any, even the
crudest, forms of combination to or
ganize monopoly; until at last moth.
ing is normal, nothing is obliged to
stand the tests Of efficiency and econ
omy, in our world of big business. but
everything thrives by concerted. ar
rangement. Only new principles of
action will save us from final hard
crystallization Of monopoly and a COM
plete loss of the influences that quick. |
en- enterprise and keep independent
energy alive.
ut is plain what those principles !
must be. We must abolish everything
tnat bears even the semblance of priv |
ilege or OF any kind of artificial advan- |
tage, and put our business men and |
producers under the stimulation Of
constant necessity to be efficient, eco |
nomical and enterprising masters of
competitive supremacy, better work |

LONG BATTLE ENDED
DIRECT ELECTION OF U. 8. SEN
AToRs RATIFIED BY SO STATES.
No further Legislation Now Needed
to Adopt Seventeenth Amendment
to Constitution.

Washington, April 10.7-By Connec.
ticut's ratification of the amendment
to that effect, Tuesday, direct election
of United States senator's became one
of the provisions of the Constitution.
Thirty-six states, the requisite three.
fourths Of all in the Union, have ap-
proved the change. 1t remains only
for the governors of all states which
have acted favoIably to formally noti-
fy Secretary Bryan and for him 20 Is
sue proclamation announcing the
change. The amendment to the Con-
stitution is the second within the last
few months. The vote Of the Connec-
ticut senate was unanimous; that of
the house $50 to n.
The amendment primarily trans
fers the power Of electing senators
from the legislatures to the people at
the polls. To effect this change it was
necessary to alter the machinery for
the filing Of vacancies in the senate.
For more than sixty years proposals
had been made to change the Constitu-
ton 80 as to provide for the direct
election OF senators. 1t was not, how
ever, until June "a, 1911, that the
senate was induced for the first time
in its history to give Its consent to the
change.
No legislation by congress will be
necessary to put the change into eff
feet. 1t will be incumbent upon the
various states to see that proper pro-
vision is made by the names of sen
ators going on the regular ballots.
The first senators to be elected by
the new method will be those who
take their seats for the term begin.

aside from the duties laid upon N.
ticles which we do not, and probably
can not. produce, and the duties laid
upon Injuries, and merely for the sake
Of the revenues they yield, the object
OF the tariff duties henceforth laid
must be effective competition, the
whetting of American wits by contest
with the wits of the rest OF the world.
ut would be unwise to move toward
this end headlong, with reckless haste,
or with strokes that cut at the very
roots Of what has grown up amongst
us by long process and at our own in
Vitation. 1t does not alter a thing to
upset it and break It and deprive it Of
q chance to change. It destroys it
Must Have Change, But Not RevoIu-
tion.
I'VE must make changes in our
fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose
object is development, a more free
and wholesome development, not revo-
luton or upset or confusion. We must
build up trade, especially foreign trade.
We need the outlet and the enlarged
field of energy more than We ever did
before.
I'VE must build up industry as we'll
and must adopt freedom in the place
of artificial stimulation only so far as
it will build, not pull down.
In dealing with the tariff the meth
cd by which this may be done will be
matter of judgment, exercised item
by item. To some not accustomed to
the excitements and responsibilities
OF greater freedom our methods may
in some respects and at some points
seem heroic. but remedies may be he
roic, and yet be remedies. 1t is our
business to make sure that they are
genuine remedies.
"Our object is clear. II our motive
is above just challenge and only an
occasional error of judgment is charge
able gainst lis, we shall be fortunate.
I'VE are called upon to render the
country great service in more mat
ters than one. Our responsibility
should be met and our methods should
be thorough, as thorough as moderate
and well considered, based upon the
facts as they are, and not worked out
as If we were beginners.
We Are &c Deal With Facts Of Our
Own Day.
We are to deal with the facts of
our own day, with the facts of no
other, and to make laws which square
with those facts 1t is best, indeed it
is necessary, to begin with the tariff.
l will urge nothing upon you now at
the opening of your session which can
obscure that first object or divert our
energies from that clearly defined
duty.
AT later time may take the lib.
erty of calling your attention to re.
forms which should press close upon
the heels of the tariff changes, if not
accompany them, of which the chief
is the reform of our banking and cur.
rency laws; but just now / refrain.
For the present. put these mat
tiers on one side and think only of this
one thing-of the changes in our fiscal
system which may serve to open once
more the free channels Of prosperity |
to a great people whom we would
serve to the utmost and throughout
both rank and file"
