I feal very deeply that this is not an ambition a man should entertain for his omn sake. He must seek to serve a cause, and must know very clearly what cause it 1s he 1s seeking to serve. The cause I am enlisted in lies very plain to my ovn view: The Government of the United - States, as now bound by the policies which have become characteristic of Republican administra= tion in recent years,.is not free to serve the whole people impartially, and it ought to bo set free. It has been tied up, whether-deliberately or merely by unintentional development, with particular interests, which have used their pow- er, both to control the government and to con- trol the industrial development of the country, It must be freed from such entanglements and al= liances. Until it is freed, it cannot serve the people as a whole. Until it is freed, it cannot undertake any programme of social and economic betterment, but wust be checked and thwarted at every turn by its patrons and masters. In practically every speech that I make, I put at the front of what I have to say the ques= tion of the tariff and the question of the trusts, but not because of any thought of party strategy, " because I believe the solution of these ques- tions to 1ie at the very heart of the bigger " ‘questior, whether the government shall be free or not. The government is not free because it has granted special favors to particular classes by means of the tariff. The men to whom these special favors have been granted have formed great combinations by which to control enter- prise and determine the prices of commodities. They could not have done this had it not been for the tariff. No party, therefore, wvhich does not propose to take away these special favors and prevent monopoly absolutely in the markets of t.ie country sees even so much as the most elementary part of the method by which the government is to be set free. The control to which tariff legislation has led, btoth in the field of politics aud in the field of business, is vhat has produced the most odious feature of our present political situa- tion, namely, the absolute domination of power=- ful bosses. Bosses cannot exist without:busi- ness alliances. With them politic¢s 4s hardly distinguishable from business. Bosses maintain their control because they.are allied with men who wish their assistance in order to-get con- tracts, in order to obtain special legislative advantages, in order to prevent reforms which will interfere with monopoly or with their en=- Joyment of special exemptions., Merely as polit- ical leaders, not backed by money, not supported by securely intrenched special interests, bosses would be entirely manageable and comparatively powerless. By freeing the government, there=- fore, we at the same time break the power of the boss. He trades, he does not govern. He ar- ranges, he does not lead. He sets the stage for whst the people are to do; he does not act as their agent or servant, but as their director, For him the real business of politics is dene under cover. if Woodrpw Wilson’s Message to the American People oontrol it would set industry free. The enters prise and initiative of all Americans would be substituted for the enterprise and initiative of a small group of thes. Economic democracy would take the plfce of monopoly and selfish management, American industry would have a pew buoyancy of hope, a new energy, & new variety, With the restoration of freedom would come the restoration of opportunity. Moreover, an administration would at last be set up in Washington, and a legislative regime,’ under which real prqgrammes of social bettér- ment could be undertiaken as they cannot now. The government might be sefviceable for many things. It might assist in a hundred ways to safeguard the lives and the health and promote the comfort and the happiness of the people; but it can do t! sse*things only if its actions be distinterested, only if they respond to publie opinion, only if these who lead government see the country as a whole, feel a deep thrill of intimate sympathy with every class and every in= terest in it, know how to hold an even hand and listen to men of every sort and quality and origin, in taking counsel what is to be done. Interest must not fight against interest. There must be a common understanding and a free ace "tion all together. The reason that I feel justified in appeal= ing to the voters of this country to support the Democratic party at this critical juncture in its affairs is that the leaders of neither of the other parties propose to attack the problem of a free government at its heart., Neither pro- poses to make a fuhdamental change in the policy of the government with regard to tariff duties. . It 13 with both of them in respect of the tariff merely a question of more or less, merely a ques= tion of lopping off a 1ittle here and amending a little there; while with the Democrats it is . a qucstion of principle, Their object is to cut every special favor out, and cut it out just as fast as it can be cut out without upsetting the business processes of the country. Neither does either of the other parties proposv seriously to disturb the supremacy of the trusts, Their only remedy 1s to accept the trusts and regulate them, notwithstanding the fact that most of.the trusts are so constructed es to insure high prices, because they are not based upon effici- ency but upon monopoly. Their success lies .in control, The competition of more efficient com= petitors, not loaded down by the debts created when the combinations were made, would embarrass and conquer them, The Trusts want the protection of the governrent, and are 1ikely to get it if either the Republican or the so-called ''Progres= sive'' party prevails, Surely this is a cause. Surely the questions of the pending election, looked at from this point of view, rise into a cause. They are not merely the detates of a casual p:;rty»contest.‘ They are the issues of 1ife and death to a na= tion which must be free in order to be strong. What will patriotic men do?
