Text OF Presidents Speech
feel a very peculiar pleasure in what I have just done by
way of taking part in the completion of a great piece OF business
1t is a pleasure which is very hard to express in words which are
adequate to express the feelings, because the feeling that l have is
that we have done the rank and file of the people of this country a
great service. 1t is hard to speak of these things without seeming
to go off in campaign eloquence, but that is not my feeling. 1t is
very profound, a feeling of very profound gratitude that, working
with the splendid men who have put this thing through with studious
attention and doing justice all round, I should have had part in
serving the people of this country as we have been striving to serve
them ever since / can remember.
1 have had the accomplishment of something like this at heart
ever since I was a boy and I know mel standing around me who
can say the same thing-who have been waiting to see the things
done which it was necessary to do in order that there might be JUS
tGe in the United States And SO It's a solemn moment that brings
such a business to a conclusion and I hope 1 will not be thought to
be demanding too much of myself or of my colleagues when I say
that this, great as it is, is the accomplishment of only half the
journey.
We have set the business of this country free from those con-
ditions which have made monopoly not only possible. but in a sense
easy and natural. But there is no use taking away the conditions
of monopoly five do not take away also the power to create mo-
nopoly, and that is a financial rather than a merely circumstantal
and economical power, the power to control and guide and direct
the credits OF the country, the power to say who shall and who
shall not build up the industries of the country, in which direction
they shall be built and in which direction they shall not be built
We are now about to take the second step, which will be the
final step in settling the business of this country free. That is
what we shall do in the Currency bill which the House has already
passed and which l have the utmost confidence the Senate will pass
much sooner than some pessimistic individuals believe, because the
question, now that this piece of work is done, will arise all over the
country, for what do we wait? Why should we wait to crown our
selves with consummate honor? Are we so self-denying that we do
not wish to complete our success?
1 was quoting the other day to some of my colleagues in the
Senate those lines from Shakespeare's Henry V, which have always
appealed to me. IF it be a sin to covet honor, then am I the most
offending soul alive !" and I am happy to say that I do not covet it
associated with me and the honor is going to. come from them. /
am their associate. 1 can only complete the work which they do
l can only counsel when they ask for my counsel / can come in
only when the last stages of the business are reached. And 1 covet
this honor for them quite as much as I covet it for myself; and l
covet it for the great party of which 1 am a member, because that
party is not honorable unless it redeem it's name and serve the
people of the United States.
So I feel tonight like a man who is lodging happily in the inn
which lies half way along the journey, and that in the morning with
journeys end like men with a quiet conscience, knowing that we
have served our fellow men and have thereby tried to serve God.
