So that by common counsel and by
the accumulating force of coopera-
ton We are going to seek more and
more to serve the country.
Public's Spirit Appreciated.
II have been surprised at the ac-
ceptance of this measure by public
opinion everywhere. I say surprised
because 1t comes as II 1t had suddenly
become obvious to men who had
looked at 1t with too critical an eye
that 1t was really meant In their in
terest. They have opened their eyes
to see a thing which they had sup
posed to be hostile to be friendly and
erviceable-exactly what We intend
ed It to be and what we shall intend
all our legislation to be. The men
who fought for this measure have
fought nobody. They have simpl,
fought for those accommodations
which are going to secure US in pros
perity and In peace. Nobody can be
a friend Of any class in America in
the sense of being the enemy of any
other class. You can only be the
friend OF one class by showing 1t In
the lines by which It can accommo.
date itself to the other classes. The
lines of help are always the lines OF
accommodation.

1t was great piece Of preparation for

Fifty Years Bridged.
Then there came upon the heels
Of 1t this bill, which furnishes the
machinery for free and elastic and
uncontrolled credits, put at the dis
posal Of the merchants and manu-
facturers of this country for the first
time in so years. 1 was refreshing
my memory on the passage of the
national bank act which came in two
pieces In February of 1863, and in
June of 1864; 1t is just so years ago
since that measure suitable for that
time was passed, and It has taken us
more than a generation and half to
come to an understanding as to the
readjustments which were necessary
for our own time. But we have
reached those readjustments. I my
self have always felt when the Demo-
cratic party was criticised as not
knowing how to serve the business in
no use of replying to that in words.
The only satisfactory reply was in
action. We have written the first
chapter Of that reply.
Circumstances in Favor.
I'VE are greatly favored by the cir
cumstances of our time. We come at
the end of day of contest, at the end
of day when we have peen scrutiniz-
ing the processes of our business.
scrutinizing them with critical and
sometimes with hostile eye. We have
slowly been coming to this time
which has now happily arrived, when
there Is a common recognition OF the
things that are undesirable should be
done In business. What We are pro-
ceeding to do now IS TO organize our
pace. to make our prosperity not only
stable, but free to have an impeded
momentum. II is obvious that II
ought not need to be stated that moth
Is not good for all OF the country.
Nothing can be for the interest OF
the country which Is not In the inter-
est OF everybody; therefore the day
OF accommodation and OF concession
and OF common understanding is the
day Of peace and achievement Of nec-
essity. We have come to the begin
ming OF that day. Men are no longer
resisting the conclusions which the
nation has arrived at as to the neces-
sity OF readjustments Of its business.
Business men Of all sorts are showing
their willingness to come inio this ar

LAND OPEN: NO ONE FILES

WALLA wALLA. Dec. 24.-Al-
though tracts OF land aggregating
about 1900 acres In Whitman and
Asotin counties were thrown open
to entry no person appeared to make
a filing. The entry Is to be under
the enlarged homestead act, which
permits entries OF 800 acres in cer-
tain designated localities where the
settler has taken up 100 acres of land
or less. IL the desired land adjoins
that filed on, and In case the settler
has not proved up or when the per-
son has no previous entry. tracts up TO
320 acres may be filed on.
1t Is said the land Is not desirable
and the land office officials do not
expect many entries. few persons
have inquired of the office TO learn
particulars Of the order and the
whereabouts of the land. There are
no large pieces of land In the area

to express very heartily the admira-

made 1t possible for me to sign this

ercising a degree Of scrunity and OF
careful thought in this matter, which
undoubtedly has redounded to the
benefit Of the bill itself.
Then there has grown as we have
advanced with this business and the
great piece of business which pre-
to my mind, have been very notable,
indeed Only constructive action,
only the action which accomplished
something, fills me with the enthusi-

at this session of congress We have
witnessed an accumulating pleasure
and enthusiasm on the part Of the
membership of both houses in seeing
substantial and lasting things accom-

Republican Votes Crafty.

TO me that in the case OF this bill
there should have been so consider
able a number of Republican votes
cast for it. All great measures I'M
der our system of government are o.
necessity party measures, for the
party of the majority is responsible
for their origination and their pass

partisan measure. II has been re-

which the Democratic party will show
that II knows how to serve the coun-

preceded 1t. The tariff bill was meant
to remove those impediments TO
