gard for the profitable privileges
OF those who had gained control
OF domestic markets and domestic
credits; and yet had enacted anti
trust laws which hampered the
very things they meant to foster,
which were stiff and inelastic. and
in part unintelligible.
1T had permitted the country
throughout the long period Of its
control to staged from one fin
ancial crisis to another under the
operation of national banking
law of its own framing which
made stringency and panic GER
tain and the control of the larger
business operations of the coun-
try by the bankers Of a few re-
serve centers inevitable.
LABORER AND FARMER
HAS BEEN NEGLECTED
ut had been bolivious, or indif-
ferent, to the fact that the farm
ers, upon whom the country de-
ponds for its food and In the last
analysis for its prosperity, were
without standing In the matter OF
commercial credit, without the
protection OF standards in their
market transactions, and without
systematic knowledge of the mar
kets themselves; that the labor
ers of the country, the great army
of men who man the industries II
was processing to father and pro-
mote, were subject to restraint by
novel and drastic process in the
courts, were without assurance Of
compensation for industrial acci-
dents, without federal assistance
In accommodating labor disputes,
and without national aid or ad-
vice in finding the places and the
Industries in which their labor
was most needed.
THE country had no national
system of road construction and
development.
Little intelligent attention was
paid to the army, and not enough
to the navy. The other republics
Of America distrusted us, because
they found that we thought first
of the profits of American invest
ors and only as an afterthought
Of impartial justice and helpful
friendship. Its policy was provin-
cial in all things; its purposes
were out of harmony with the
temper and purpose of the people
and the timely development of
the nations interests.

TARIFF REVISED AND
TARIFF BOARD CREATED

so things stood when the
democratic party came into pow
err.
How do they stand now? Alike
in the domestic field and in the
wide field of the commerce of the
world, American business and life
and industry have been set free
to move as they never moved be-
fore.
"The tariff has been revised,
not on the principle Of repelling
foreign trade, but upon the prin-
ciple of encouraging 1t, upon
something like footing of equal
fly with our own in respect of the
terms of competition, and a tariff
board has been creating whose
function it will be to keep the re-
lations of Americans with foreign
business an dindustry under con-
slant observation, for the guild
ance alike of our business men
and of or congress.
NOT AGAINST BIG BUSINESS
But AGAINST THOSE UNFAIR
"The laws against trusts have
been clarified by definition, with
a view to making 1t plain that
they were not directed against un-
fair business and the pretense Of

n HE support Of independent men whose con

new and more effective combination in the work
of advancing all reasonable reform to early con-
summation.

has seen more women's legs than

seven-eighths are either knock

STATES PLAINLY HIS
POSITION ON MEXICO

At this point the president
turned to foreign affairs, reaf-
firming his position regarding
neutrality and the European
countries.
To the hyphenate he delivered
this rebuke:
II neither seek the favor nor
fear the displeasure of that small
alien element amongst us which
puts loyalty to any foreign pow
er before loyalty to the United
States"
Mexico, he said, is seeking
emancipation, blindly and pas
sionately, from exploiters of 9TH
er nationalities.
"The Mexican people are en-
titled to attempt their liberty
from such influences; and so
long as | have anything to do
with the action of our great gov
eminent / shall do everything in
my power to prevent anyone
standing in their way. know
that this is hard for some per-
sons to understand; but 1t is not
hard for the plain people of the
United States to understand 1t
is hard doctrine only for those
who wish to get something for
themselves out of Mexico" he
asserted.
Other telling paragraphs in
his conclusion we're these:
MUST WORK TO ESTABLISH
ANEW WORLDS INDUSTRY
Besides contributing our I'M
grudging moral and practical
support to the establishment of
peace throughout the world we
must actively and intelligently
prepare ourselves to do our full
service in the trade and indus
try which are to sustain and de-
velop the life of the nations In
the days to come.
I'VE. can no longer indulge our
traditional provincialism. We are
to play a leading part in the
world drama whether we wish 1t
or not.
I'VE hope to see the stimulus
OF that new day draw all Amer
lea, the republics of both con-
tinents, on to a new life and en-
ergy and initiative in the great

ALMOST CARRIED OUT
PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM

This record must equally
astonish those who feared that
the democratic party had not
opened its heart to comprehend
the demands of social justice. We
have in four years come very
near to carrying out thep lat
form of the progressive party as
well as our own; for we also are
progressives.
There is one circumstance
connected with this program
which ought to be very plainly
stated. 1t was resisted at every
step by the interests which the
party had catered to
and fostered at the expense Of
the country.
The republican party is just
the party that cannot meet the
new conditions of a new age.

SEAMEN'S ACT AND
OTHER LABOR MEASURES

"The workingmen of America
have been given a veritable eman-
cipation, by the legal recogni-
ton of a mans labor as part of
his life, and not a mere market
able commodity; by exempting
labor organizations from proc
esses of the courts which treated
their members like fractional
parts of mobs and not like &C
cessible and responsible individ-
uals; by releasing our seamen
from involuntary servitude; by
making adequate provision for
compensation for industrial acct
dents; by providing suitable ma
chinery for mediation and con-
Citation in Industrial disputes;
and by putting the federal de-
partment of labor at the dis
posal of the workingman when in
search of work.
I'VE have effected the emanci-
patton of the children of the
country by releasing them from
hurtful labor.
1--WE have instituted a system
of national aid in the building of
highroads such as the country
has been feeling after for a CEN
fury. We have sought to equal
lie taxation by means of an equi-
table income tax. We have taken
the steps that ought to have been
taken at the outset open up
the resources of Alaska. We have
provided for national defense up
on scale never before seriously
proposed upon the responsibility
of an entire political party. We
have driven the tariff lobby
from cover and obliged 1t to sub
stitute solid argument for pri-
lvate influence.

have relieved business men of un-
founded fears and set them upon

supply of currency at the disposal
Of active business has been rem
dered elastic, taking its volume,
not from a fixed body of invest
ment securities, but from the
liquid asset of daily trade: and
these assets are assessed and ac-
cepted, not by distant groups of
bnakers in control of unavailable
reserves, but by bankers at the
many centers of local exchange
who are in touch with local ex-
change who are in touch with To-
cal conditions everywhere.
MERCHANT MARINE
AND PARCEL POST
Effective measures have been
taken for the recreation of an
American merchant marine and
the revival of the American carry
ing trade indispensable to our
emancipation from the control
which foreigners have so long ex-
ercised over the opportunities, the
routes, and the methods of our
commerce with other countries.
