taken at the outset to open up the
resources of Alaska. We have pro-
! vided for national defense upon a
scale never before seriously proposed
upon the responsibility of an entire
political party. We have driven the
tariff lobby from cover and obliged
it to substitute solid argument for
private influence.
This extraordinary recital must
sound like platform, list of san
| guine promises; but it is not. It is
a record of promises made four years
ago and now actually redeemed in
constructive legislation.
These things must profoundly dis
turb the thoughts and confound the
| plans of those who have made them
selves believe that the Democratic
Party neither understood nor was
ready to assist the business of the
country in the great enterprises
which IL Is its evident and inevitable
destiny to undertake and carry
through. The breaking up of the
lobby must especially discomfort them;
for it was through the lobby that
they sought and were sure they had
found the heart of things. The game
of privilege can be played success
fully by no other means.
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 the plat
form Of the Progressive Party as
well as our own; for we also are pro-
gressiyes.
i There is one circumstance connect
ed with this program which ought to
be very plainly stated. It was resist
ed at every step by the interests
, which the Republican Party had ca
tered to and fostered at the expense
/ of the country, and these same inter-
i ests are now earnestly praying for

8 ton of control in single bank which
a the old familiar group of bankers
: can keep under their eye and direc-
q ton. But while the ''big men" who

mand the assistance of the Treasury
have been hostile-all but few with
vision-the average business man
knows that he has been delivered,
and that the fear that was once every
day in his heart, that the men who
controlled credit and directed enter
prise from the committee rooms OF
Congress would crush him, is there
no more, and will not return-unless
the party that consulted only the 'fbig
men" should return to power-the
party of mastery inactivity and cum
ming resourcefulness in standing pat
to resist change.
The Republican Party is Just the
party that cannot meet the new con-
| ditions Of new age. It does not
know the way and it does not wish
new conditions. It tried to break
away from the old leaders and could
not. They still select its candidates
and dictate its policy, still resist
change, still banker after the old
conditions, still know no methods of
encouraging business but the old
/ methods. When it changes its lead
ers and its purposes and brings its
| ideas I'D to date it will have the right
to ask the American people to give
it power again; but not until then.
A new age, an age of revolutionary
change, needs now purposes and new
ideas.
In foreign affairs we have been
guided by principles clearly conceived
and consistently lived up to. Per
haps they have not been fully COM
pretended because they have hither-
to governed international affairs only
in theory, not in practice. They are
simple, obvious, easily stated, and
fundamental to American ideals.
We have been neutral not only be-
cause it was the fixed and traditional
policy of the United States to stand
aloof from the politics of Europe and
because we had had no part either
of action or of polly in the influences
which brought on the present war,
but also because it was manifestly
our duty to prevent, If It were pos
sible, the indefinite extension of the
fires of hate and desolation kindled
by that terrible conflict and seek to
serve mankind by reserving our
strength and our resources for the
anxious and difficult days Of restora-
ton and healing which must follow,
when peace will have to build its
house anew.
The rights Of our own citizens, OF
course, became involved: that was in
eyitable. Where they did this was
our guiding principle: that property
rights can be indicated by claims
for damages, and no modern nation
can decline to arbitrate such claims
but the fundamental rights of hu-
mainly cannot be. The loss Of life
is irreparable. Neither can direct
violations of nations sovereignty
await vindication in suits for dam
ages. The nation that violates these
essential rights must expect to be
checked and called to account by di-
rect challenge and resistance. It al
once makes the quarrel in part our
own. These are plain principles and
we have never lost sight of them or
departed from them, whatever the
1 stress or the perplexity of circum-
stance or the provocation to hasty
resentment. The record is clear and
consistent throughout and stands dis
tinct and definite for any one to judge

observation, for the guidance alike
of our business men and of our Con-
gress. American energies are now
directed towards the markets of the
world.
The laws against trusts have been
clarified by definition, with view
to making 1t plain that they were
not directed against big business but
only against unfair business and the
pretense of competition where there
was ,none; and Trade Commission
has been created with powers of
guidance and accommodation which
have relieved business men of un-
founded fears and set them upon the
road of hopeful and confident enter
prise.
By the Federal Reserve Act the
supply of currency at the disposal of
active business has been rendered
elastic, taking its volume, not from
fixed body of investment securities,
but from the liquid assets Of daily
trade; and these assets are assessed
and accepted, not by distant groups
of bankers in control of unavailable
reserves, but by bankers at the many
centres of local exchange who are in
touch with local conditions every
where.
Effective measures have been taken
for the recreation of an American
merchant marine and the revival of
the American carrying trade indis-
pensable to our emancipation from
the control which foreigners have so
long exercised over the opportunities,
the routes, and the methods of our
commerce with other countries.

of the nation and was living in
past age and under fixed illusion,
the illusion of greatness. 1t had
framed tariff laws based upon fear
of foreign trade, fundamental doubt
as to American skill, enterprise, and
capacity, and very tender regard
for the profitable privileges of those
who had gained control of domestic
markets and domestic credits; and yet
had enacted antitrust laws which
hampered the very things they meant
to foster, which were stiff and inelas-
tic, and in part unintelligible. It had
permitted the country throughout the
long period of its control to stagger
from one financial crisis to another
under the operation of a national
banking law of it's own framing which
made stringency and panic certain
and the control Of the larger bust
ness operations of the country by the
bankers of few reserve centres in

reform the law, but had faint-heart-
eddy failed in the attempt, because it
could not bring itself to do the one
thing necessary to make the reform
genuine and efectual, namely, break
up the control of small groups of
bankers. 1t had been oblivious, or
Indifferent, to the fact that the farm
ers, upon whom the country depends
for its food and in the last analysis
for it's prosperity, were without
standing in the matter of commercial
credit, without the protection of
standards in their market transac-
tons, and without systematic knowl-
edge of the markets themselyes; that
the laborers of the country, the great
army of men who man the industries
it was processing to father and pro-
mote, carried their labor as a mere
commodity to market, were subject
to restraint by novel and drastic pro-
cess in the courts, were without as
surance of compensation for indus
trial accidents, without federal as
sistance in accommodating labor dis
putes, and without national aid OF
advice in finding the places and the
industries in which their labor was
most needed. The country had nc
national system of road construction
and development. Little intelligent
attention was paid to the army, an6
not enough to the navy. The other
republics Of America distrusted US
because they found that we though
