For two thousand years in- | telligent men have battled for the in- | alienable right of contract and the | sanctity of the obligation of contracts. I can remember my friends, when the republican party and loyal democrats | in the north fought a long and des- | perate war against the democrats in the south, and the issue then was very close to the issue raised in the Adam- son bill. There is no difference in principle between a law which said to A., “You shall pay B. so much for his labor and no less,” says to A., “You need pay B. so much | for his labor and no more.” When the Adamson bill gress, for the first time in the history | of this republic, deprived free and bargain with or singly. each other collectively Preparedness. | We have kept out of the war in Eu- rope just as easily as we have avoided in the milky way.

Both sides have known that because the United Stites has taken diametrically different positions on the submarine question—different at times and unintelligible at times— that the mere disclaimer of responsi- fer to arbitrate facts must be accepted by the President. Since Mr. Wilson's last note on the’ submarine question a great many un- armed ships have been torpedoed without warning. I distinctly re- member three—the Moravia, the Rita, and the Iatimbra—all unarmed, sunk without warning, and hundreds of non-combatants drowned. If there had happened to have been an Ameri- can on board Mr. Wilson would have written another note. History of Democracy. In 1828 when the democratic party was born, its three basic tenets were: Nullification of the right of any state to secede from the Union, free trade, and negro slavery sanctioned by the constitution and Bible For thirty years or more the federal party, which was afterward merged into the republican party was unable to stay the spirit of slavery and free trade. Although there were many loyal democrats in the north, the demo- cratic party in 1864, when the fate of the nation was in the balance, de- clared the war a failure and demand- ed an immediate cessation of hostili- ties. In 1900, the democratic party denounced the war with Spain as a war of aggression and accused Pres dent William McKinley of imperial- istic ambitions, and last year the democratic party would have scuttied out of the Philippines to the everlast- ing dishonor of tihs country and the probable destruction of the people of those islands, if it had not been for a handful of patriotic democrats in the house of representatives. This indifference to our national honor and safety is not only historic in the demo- cratic party but it still exists, under the leadership of the solid south— thirty-two senators from the south who do not represent as many people as are represented by Senator O'Gor- man of New York absolutely control the destinies of the United States of Mr. | | Underwood says that the tariff com- | | must take the world as it is. and one which | was passed, Con- ! sovereign white men of the right to | | trip arring powers, cause of our existing treaties with the | apology | | warnings my friends when you vote next Tues- either side openly attack us it would ) | bility for any offensive act and the of- | America. I wish I had time to read Senator O'Gorman’s own words on words on this subject. In 1912 our navy stood second in tonnage among the nations of the world. In 1913 it stood third, and now it is nowhere. Ships ordered in 1914 have not yet been begun. In 1912 the democratic committee on naval affairs in the house unanimous- ly opposed the building of a single new battleship. In 1916, only last summer, the democratic committee in the house voted against the building of a single battleship. It has only been by constant pounding on the part of republicans and the patriotic press in the north that anything has been done to keep our navy from rap- idly growing weaker and weaker every vear. “The same indifference and ineffi- clency has characterized all attempts to secure a regular army sufficlent even to guard our Mexican horder. So vaclllating and incoherent has been the policy of the president that his own secretary of war resigned in disgust and the “fools’ paradise” pro- gram so dear to the solid south will be our only program as long as the present administration remains .in power, “There may be no danger for us this vear or the next, but no sane man dare predict what will confront us in the next ten years. The tears of war dry quickly, but the hatreds of war live long. For seventy-five yvears American histories taught the rising generations to hate England. I had not been in the senate a month be- fore I had occasion to snuff the smoke of the smoldering embers of hatred of the vanquished against those who destroyed the still precious cause that was lost by the confederate states of America. We must take men as they are. We It we take it for better than it is, it will not hesitate to have its will with us. For two thousand years Christian men and women have gone to bed with the Golden Rule upon their lips and they have had some entrancing dreams, but they have always been awakened by the blare of the trumpet of war. Force is still the great con- veyancer. Treaties are still mere wadding for cannon. National houn- dary lines are still surveyed by major generals. Who dares to say today what the future will bring forth. Who dares to predict that war may not come to us Within the next ten years un- sought. Across the water are colossal debts, gigantic armies and armadas, and great suffering, great hatred, great envy, and longing eyes riveted upon rich, unguarded, truculent Amer- ica. Only a few dayvs ago a warship ran the gauntlet of the Allied fleets, sailed three thousand miles to the westward, anchored when and where she pleased in Ameri and in the return sent merchantmen to the bottom of the sea. Suppose that instend of one, fifty of these serpents of the sea from we know not where should come to us as enemies—come to recoup some of their money which six great { we have heen so gaily collecting and spending during the last three years. They could sink every battleship we have in a night time, and they could collect from our coastal cities such sums as they felt inclined to de- | mana. The democratic party promises no provement over its past, and if it continued in power another four ears we may repent with bitter but usel the statesmanship that has failed to heed the grave the hour. Remember, is of day, that trouble if it com: the way to keep out of to be able to end your way Remember that the con- flict of right against wrong is an eter- nal and irresponsible conflict and whenever the right ceases to resist it ceases to exist. I love peace and abhor war. T be- lieve that the only struggle worthy of a man or race of men is the strug- gle against poverty and ecrime and discase. I believe we should be gen- erous toward all the world and’ do everything in our power to help bind the wounds and allay the hatreds. But I believe that if the time ever comes when the nations of the world can politically organize to enforce peace, it will be hecause the United States of America has a navy strong enough to compel the respect of the world and insure her own safety should force continue to be substituted for the dictates of reason among the na- tions of Europe. Mr. Cummings’ answer was: “Mr. Chairman, Senator McLean, La- dies and Gentlemen: “I have listened with close and re- spectful attention to the address of the brilliant senator from Connecticut. 1 have been much impressed by many of the things that he has said.. But in all frankness I must be permitted to suggest that there are two out- standing things about his address which seem to he strikingly slgnifi- cant, “In the first place, throughout al his speech I do not find one word of praise, one word of commendation, or even one word of sympathy for the men who has had placed upon his shoulders more burdens than have fallen to the lot of any president since Abraham Lincoln. Praise for Wilson. “Surely, senator, something must have happened in three and a half years during which the ship of state has been guided through troubled waters that entitles the president to some small word of praise, even from a political opponent. “And the second thing that I no- ticed, about the address of the dis- tinguished and adroit gentleman is that he appears to be entirely uncon- scious of what has been going on in the world during the last decade. Progressive Legislation “The democratic party has been en- trusted with power and under the leadership of our great president we have put through a program of pro- gressive legislation which the senator in his opening remarks has not even touched upon What we have been trying ¢ do in America was to bring the government of the United Statesl maining items where that | 1abor, up to date. The republican party has utterly falled to appreciate the neces- ity for progressive legislation. “{Ah, my friends, the difficulty with the republican party has been that it has been unable or unwilling to glve these things to the people of the United States. “And most curiously, .these meas- ures of reform received in almost every instance republican support. “The ship purchase act was voted for in the house and carried by a vote of 211 to 1 and sixteen republicans voted for it and it passed the senate by a vote of thirty-eight to twenty- one. “The Seamen’s law which has been so much the subject of criticism by republican leaders, passed the senate without & roll call. Anti-Trust Act. “The Clayton anti-trust act, which has now been criticised by some of the leaders of the republican party (I believe, if I am not mistaken, Sen- ator McLean voted ‘No’ on this vote), passed the house on June 5, 1914, by a vote of 277 to only fifty-four. All but one democrat voted for it and forty-one republicans and fifteen pro- gressives voted for it. It passed the senate by a vote of forty-six to six- teen and in the senate there were seven republican senators who voted for it. “My frlend, Senator McLean, has suggested that the democrats pro- posed a scuttle policy in the Philip- pines and in the early part of his ad- Cress he used these words: ‘Go to the record.” I now go to the record. The Philippine bill passed the house without a roll call or division, and passed the senate on Feb, 4, 1916, by a vote of fifty-two to twenty-four. Six republicans and forty-six demo- crats voted for it. “The agricultural extenslon act which has been needed in this country for years' passed the house and sen- ate without a roll call. “The war revenue and tariff com- mission act passed the house, 200 democrats voting for it and no demo- crat voted against it, and thirty-six republicans also voted for It. Received G. O, P. Support. “Then the federal reserve act re- ceived republican support. It is as- tonishing to me that the senator would go through his opening ad- dress without one word about the most important act of legislation that has been passed in America in a gen- eration. “Why, my friends, the federal re- serve act released the currency sys- tem of our country from the night mare of a panic that has brooded over it ever since the republican par- ty has been in power. We have had panics in this country every once in a while because of our inadequate currency system, There has never been a panic in America, except when the republican party was in power or republican laws were on the statute books, and I challenge the senator to dispute it. They talk about the panic of 1893, “Ah, my friends, we have just been trying to bring America up to date. We have given America what she has needed for a generation. We have giv- en America progressive forward look- ing legislation and we are trying des- perately hard to keep America’s face to the front. The Adamson Act. “We now come to the Adamson law. I haven’t much time to stop to discuss this act. You all know that a crisis threatened America. You all know that while the senator may talk about the injury that this law has done to the most astonishing thing about it is that labor does not know it. You know we were threatened with a nation wide strike. You know that Heny Ford telegraphed to the pres- ident, asking his power to stop this strike, as he had 42,000 men that he would ve to discharge. The fruit growers of California begzed the president to stop the strike. They said the fruit was on the trees and it the transportation facilities were interfered with even for twenty-four hours, it would cause the bankruptcy of dne-third of the fruit producers of California. We had 100,000 troops on the border, that we had to take care of and there wasn’t a city in Ameri- ca that had one week’s supply of food, or had forty-eight hours’ sup- ply of milk for the children of this countyy. ‘Where Was Hughes? ‘“Where was Brother Hughes all this time? He was roaming around the country, complaining bitterly that 2 man named Durand had been re- moved from the geodectic survey. Eight Hour Law Coming. “Now, I don't know how you may feel about this, but I do know this, that society is progressing more and more rapidly toward the eight hour law. ‘“We talk about the Underwood law, | I have listened to what the senator has to say. .Even the Underwood law was sufficiently good to attract repub- lican support. ‘Underwood Keeps Promise. “The senator complains about what he regards as a breach of faith by Mr. Underwood in making a promise in this hall that he did not afterwards keep. I wish that I had time to read to this audience from the Congres- sional Record on Page 15, 308, Mr. TUnderwood’s speech delivered on August 23rd of this year, in which Senator McLean addressing Mr. Un- cerwood made practically the same charge in the senate that he has made here tonight. The difficulty about the senator is (his, that his mind has become con- fused between two terms; one term is the cost of production, and the other term is the labor cost. And the trou- ble with my republican friend, the senator, is that he is not satisfied to protect the labor of America—he wants to protect the profits of the great manufacturers, of America. He does not want a competitive tariff. He wants a tariff that will reward certain special interests that have al- . erown enormously rich. What T to this audience now is this {hat in almost every item of the Un- derwood law, except of course, the i items on the free list, the schedule rates of tarift are greater than the entire labor cost and in the few re- is not true, the Underwood tariff. schedule is greater than the difference be- tween the cost of labor here and the cost ot labor in Europe. The prom- isc made by Mr. Underwood to the great audience that gathered in this Auditorium in 1912 has not only been kept, but it has been kept absolutely and to the letter. It is all very well for my distin- guished friend to talk in generalities about the harm that has been done to labor in Connecticut by the Un- derwood law. But is it not about time that he stopped talking in gen- eralities and tell us what schedules is wrong? What is there in the act that you want to change? What pro- vision of the law is unjust to New England. It won’t do, Mr. McLean, to say to this audlence that this law has injured Connecticut. Connecti- cut does not appear very much in- jured to me. But if it has injured Connecticut, please enlighten us and tell us In what way it has injured Connecticut. Sectionalism Issue. “I regret that the senator has seen fit to raise the issue of sectionalism in this count. in this moment when America ought to stand together as it has never stood together before, any man could be found who would endeavor to reissue the war cries of thirty years ago. Ah, my friends, this is a united country. ‘When Grant gave back the sword of surrender to Lee it would seem as if the process of reconstruction and friendship ought to have begun, “I say that any man who in this present crisis of American history when America sees confronting her an entire world in wrms, that any man who at such a period raises the cry of sectionalism is rendering & sorry service to his country. Useless to Criticise. “It is useless to criticize bills be- cause of sectionalism. Why if you talk about a sectional party, senator, the only party in America today that is really national is the democratic party. We have got more democrats in New York that we have got in Georgia. We have got more demo- crats in Illinois than in half a dozen southern states. There is not a state in the union where the democratic party is not a vital, forward looking, powerful, potent American influence, and we are entitled, sir, to be judged not by false cries of sectionalism raised for partisan purposes, but by our deeds, What laws have we passed that were sectional? labor law sectional? Was the income tax sectional? Was the Clayton anti- trust act sectional? Were all these S ——— GIRLS !
