How to Obtain Peace.

The peace of the United States need not
be forfeited by standing for its rights We
stand in self-respect before the world, main
tanning our prestige, demanding only that to
which we are known to be entitled, ready
for any emergency, and you may be sure
that our just rights will be acknowledged
by every nation.
Shipping Bill Unwise.
If rates are too high, provision can be
made to correct them. If there is unjust
eliminate it; but the creation of govern
ment board to purchase ships, even foreign
built ships, and allow them the privilege of
our coastwise trade, is, to my mind, not an
aid to business, but very unwise govern
mental policy. ....
American business Abroad. a.. e.. ~
DR.. Eliot, former president of Harvard,
a man whom hold in the very highest es
TEEN, examined the record of the admins
tration and came to the conclusion that its
record, with respect to Mexico, meant this:
That hereafter we did not propose to afford
represented American enterprise in foreign
parts. Yet, 1t is said that we have the best
genius in the world, and should 60 forth
into all parts of the world bearing the fruits
of this genius for the benefit of others. What
does that mean practically?-it means
American engineers, it means American
statesmen, it means American bookkeepers,
it means American clerks of every descrip-
ton in branch establishments in connection
with enterprise in various places, in some of
which revolution is frequent, where only the
flag of their country stands between them
and death; and, fellow citizens, while there
is no occasion to use the force which that
flag symbolizes, if we are firm and strong in
the protection of American rights, it is unbe-
lievable that we should depart from the his
toric doctrine Of protecting those who carry
American trade to the four corners of the
globe.
What Future Demands.
We must have an application for the
benefit of American labor; for the benefit
Of American agriculture and for the benefit
of American industry, of the doctrine Of

Hard Hits Made by Hughes in His Omaha Speech

protective tariff to safeguard our industries.
If there were ever any opportunity for de-
bate on that question that time has passed.
II there ever was chance for a doctrinary
discussion, that time has passed. We are
facing today economic problems which we
must meet squarely according to the facts
Prosperity for All.
Now, we must not conserve our industries
alone, but we must conserve our human life
and resources. am not interested in mere
statistics of wealth; / am interested in pro-
lection for the sake of protection. l am
not interested in seeing prosperity which
is not justly distributed. This is country
of men and women devoted to work. 1t is
not country intended for few to prosper
at the expense of the many. 1t is the country
of plain people, and want to see prosperity
in order that the plain people may have
proper basis for that prosperity.
For the Eight.Hour Day.
Now believe in the general principle of
an eight-hour workday. That principle has
this for its basis, that by restriction of
hours of labor there will be a more whole
some life; there will be not only an absence
of excessive strain, but there will be oppor-
tunities for leisure, there will be opportuni-
ties for education, opportunities for enjoy
nent; in short, a better rounded life, which
tends to contentment.
Who Pays the Bill? ...'.
You will find that rates must be raised
in order to pay expenses if expenses are in
creased. And, now, who pays the rates?
Well, you say the shipper pays the rates.
Well, if the shipper is farmer, guess he
will understand fully what that means; and
the farmers of Nebraska have not been slow
to understand what railroad rates mean.
But if he is manufacturer, what does he
do? Why, he passes it along to the jobber
with his percentage, and the jobber passes
it along to the retailer with his percentage,
and the retailer, my friends, passes it right
along to you, and you, and you, and every
man in the country. That is to say, the great
consuming public of which the workingmen
themselves constitute the large majority;
and that is where you come again to greet
our dear old bosom companion, whom we
cannot lose, "The High Cost of Living"

course of action. Only two years
ago, or less-about that time-the
American Federation OF Labor passed
resolution putting itself on record
against legislation fixing hours OF
labor and fixing wages, except in the
case of governmental employees or
where health or morals were involved.
They passed the same resolution in
1915. Now, what was the point OF
that? 1t was not that labor did not
want shorter hours and did not want
improved wages, but they recognized
that in the long run it was better not
to have those matters fixed by leg
islation. | am not speaking now of
the validity OF this bill; | am not
speaking Of its effectiveness. Those
are questions of law. am talking
of the policy of the bill. Labor has
stood for collective bargaining; that
has been its principle. Labor has
stood for arbitration; that has been its
principle. There was time, not so
long distant, when labor did not get
the hearing it thought it was entitled
to when it asked for arbitration OF
great disputes that affected society.
We had in 1898, an act passed pro-
viding for a method of conciliation
in connection with disputes affecting
interstate commerce, that was re-
enacted with some amendments in
, 1918, indicating the policy of the
country.
But what l want to emphasize is
this. l say it is un-American, abso-
lutely without justification, ever to
surrender either executive power or
legislative power to the demands of
force of either labor or capital.

Why We Are Great
1.-THE old theory of our government
is that we have organized public
opinion; and that we have schools
and newspapers and every chance for
public information and of public dis
cussion. The idea is that while we
think differently, we have the free
dom of controversy; while we have
many points of view and varieties OF
interest, we have way of threshing
out our difficulties in open discussion
and following the processes of rea-
son. That is the way we have won
in the past against every form of
tyranny and every form of force.
Every step of progress has been
through the rescuing of people from
treason by those who would not per-
nit treason to rule. Every vantage
ground we got with pride in these
days has been for an opportunity to
take counsel and enforce a reason
able judgment. We have fought force
| ir the past and it was a plain people
who rebelled against it. 1t was the
plain people who finally became VIC
torious over every form of tyranny
and .tablished this free country
where we can reason things out.
Will Solve Our Problems.
~ know the problems that will
press upon us. | can see the social
difficulties confronting US. | can see
the great ambitions and aspirations
that move US. l. know the Difficult
ties in our path in these years of the
Twentieth century, but America can
solve them. We have the fulness of
vision and we have the determine
ton to solve them and advance
progressively if we hold to the path
of reason, and say now for all time,
in rebuking this administration for
this act, that in this country force
shall never prevail" (Great ap-
plause.)
