is demonstrated by our history, to break through the constitution or to evade it in any way in order to pro- mote the welfare of the people. If it is desirable and necessary that the federal government should exercise any power which it can not now con- additionally exercise. every right minded citizen ought to be willing to wait until the constitution may be amended in the desired respect. To advocate any other course is to de- stroy all respect for law and event ually to tear down the most sacred guarantees and projections of our properties. our liberties and our lives.
 State Muust Exercise Every Power.
 It is of the utmost importance that the state of Connecticut should through its own state officers and state legislature exercise every atom of power that it can under the constitu- tion in the management of its own affairs. The neglect by the several states to occupy fully this field fur nishes one of the strongest tempta- tions for the government at Washing ton to interfere, needlessly. with the private affairs and home relations of the people who reside remote from it.
 During my twelve years in Wash ington I have been more and more impressed with the tendency to con- centrate all government power in the federal government in Washington. It is of the utmost importance. there fore, that the states should most zealously guard whatever powers they have and should exercise them to the fullest extent.
 Foreign Relations.
 The policy of the national adminis- tration in dealing with the. Mexican situation, which in derision came to bo known as the policy of "watchful waiting," at no time deserved the dig nifty of the designation of a policy. It was nothing more than an impotent and imbecile drift. Beyond this mis- chievous meddling our so-called Mex ican policy was nothing except a do- nothing policy.
 The New England Situation.
 I have already referred to the fact that our country is being governed by a minority. The great majority of the people of this country are opposed to this kind of government. They are disgusted and heart-sick. Why should they not unite to restore the republi- car -arty to power2 The products of the farms and factories of our own state have seen their protection with drawn. Our investors have seen their securities shrink and shrivel. Why should our people vote to continue in power a party whose policies result in such disaster, and whose represen- tatives talk one way at home and vote the other way in Washington? Connecticut is a hive of manufacturing industries. In most of the staple agricultural products we cannot com-l
Norwich bulletin., 1914-09-14

pete with the fertile primaries of the west, nor with the great plantations of the south. We have little mining or mineral production-we have no coal. Except for our tobacco crop, used for cigar wrappers. our agricul- tural products consist mostly of hay, dairy and garden products and fruits, and such cereals as are consrr~e1 poon the farm, and these are largely mar keted within our own bUIueIs. ~dr manufacturing and milling centers furnish the best markets for the pro- ducts of our farms. They are the home markets requiring little trans portation. In the development of these manufacturing centers lies our future. our prosperity, our material used in our factories and the coal which furnishes most of our operating power must be brought here to this northeastern section of our country from other parts of the union. When metamorphosed. this raw material, so transposed, must be shipped back and marketed.
 If these industries are to be crip- pied. we shall be deprived of our in- dustrial life blood. Our banks. our insurance companies and all the other institutions which depend upon this great basic industry will in turn suf- fer. It must be borne in, mind that the tariff tinkering which has taken place is but the first step in the pro- gram of the democratic party to elim-' mate all protection and to put the country absolutely upon a tariff for .. revenue-only basis. Intentionally ex- cluding all protection whatever on the theory that to protect any industry is to confer a special privilege. .
 The Remedy.
 To prevent this disaster, the repub- lican party must be returned to power. Two years ago the democracy obtained power upon a set of false representa- tions. It promised to improve the condition of the people. It has not done this. I do not say that 1t went into power because the people of this state believed the promises made by that party too we'll to trust 1t. But coincident with these false represen- tations 34.000 citizens of this state voted for a new third party under the idea that they could elect it's can didates to administer the government The withdrawal of this great percent age of former republicans from their party enabled the democracy to slip into power. At present the entire delegation in the national house of representatives from this state Is com posed of democrats. The people of the state would never have allowed that situation to arise if they had thought that there was the slightest danger of its happening. Such a con- dition has never existed in this state before since the republican party won it's first national victory in 1860 and to say that it will never occur again.

which they believed would be disas- trous, they were treated with scant courtesy. For some time they were made to feel that their presence was undesired. At one time they were de- nounced as insidious lobbyists and vague intimations issued from the White House about conspiracies de- signed to thwart the policies of the men found it impossible to obtain au- dience with the president on matters of the highest importance.
 The congress of the United States has been kept in session for nearly two years. After tTle~business interests of the country had been kept wavering in suspense as to what would be the final outcome of democratic tariff tinkering, and the Underwood-Sim- mons tariff bill had become a law, the democrats prophesied that prosperity was at hand. They had loudly pro- that. a revision of the tariff would throttle the trusts but it would re- duce the cost of living.
 The democratic tariff revision proved futile and abortive in both instances. It not only failed to do what it was guaranteed to do in these respects, but it did what it was promised it would not do, it produced a balance Of trade with foreign nations heavily against us. As corollary to the tariff bill an llCttIIlC IdA was 1I1pOSt-u. IL IIldy we'll be doubted if the imposition of the federal income tax, however justifiable such tax may be in principle, was a wise policy in times of peace. The several states are finding it increas- ingly difficult to provide the necessary funds for their steadily increasing ex- penses and it would have been much wiser for the states to have reserved this source of raising revenue for themselves. In this way the states which had wealth to tax would have had the benefit of it within their own borders.
 Second Rate Financial System.
 When none of the promised benefits appeared from the tariff legislation, it was stated that a new magma charter must be given to our banking and curs rercy system-credit was to be set free from the shackles which made it the slave of the money trust, and as soon as this great piece of legislation was passed the waters of prosperity were to gush forth as though their source had been smitten with the rod of the prophet.
 Rather than engage in contest with their own government, and fearing to add to it's hostility, the bankers and commercial institutions of the country were compelled to accede to a second , rate banking and currency sysAem. The legislation providing for this com promise makeshift has been on the statute books for months, but the sys- tenn is not yet inaugurated. The promised prosperity. of course. did not appear. Thereupon. it was loudly her. aided that the president, being the head of the executive branch of the government, had a legislative pro- 9ranme, and that the legislative branch of the government would not se a4lowed to adjourn until it had com oleted the presidents legislative pro- gramme. It was denominated an anti rust programme. As such it was a
