The whole country seems to be aware that something is amiss, Failures of The Administration Nor has the republican administra. tion been happy in its dealings with matters of routine. Having earnestly assured the country of the high char- acter of its prospective appointees, it sends the impossibld Riley to bedevil the affairs of Porto Rico and to bring humiliation upon his countrymen, It sends the unspeakable Harvey to the Court of Saint James, where he seizes the first opportunity to misrepresent the spirit of America, and to vulgarize the cause for which our soldiers died. Mr. Daugherty finds his way into the cabinet as attorney general. On ac- count of his connection with the Morse case, republican papers clamor for his resignation; and because of his attitude toward the recent strike {n- junetion, a republican member of congress presents papers of impeach- ment. An inexcusable rald has been made upon the civil service employes in the treasury department and, un- der a presidential proclamation, the civil service rules in the post office department have become a mere niockery.

The administration still retains in certain the attorneys for the beneficlaries of Ithe tariff. A tariff should be adequate to legi- | timate needs, competitive In character and revenue producing. It should not be a refuge for graft, inefficiency and extortion, It should not he an em- bargo upon intercourse with other na- tions. It should not be a monopoly producing device, It should never be a matter of special favor or the means by which political debts are liquidated To avold these evils and to insure a business-llke revision of the tariff the last democratic admin- istration created a tariff commission. It was hoped that we had finally taken the tariff out of politics. This commission has now bheen ignored, the tariff has been dragged back into the arena of politics and the present | bill represents a foreclosure of the claim which was held by the priv- iileged classes upon the republican | party, y | Republican newspapers, business | organizations largely dominated by men of republican preference, indivi- | dual republicans of high standing ana wide repute as manufactures and importers have comhined to denounce the bill as a scheme for the whole- sale robbery of the American people. The New York Tribune call the sen- ate bill “a monstrosity.” The Boston Transcript characterizes it as “‘a dis- grace to the party in power and a menace to the nation” which was de- vised by ‘“‘a conspiracy between pork barrel politiclans and special interests | for the two fold purpose of re-elect-| CUNMINGS FLAYS "~ RULEOFG.0.P (Administration & Failure, His Keynote Speech Argues A CHILL CHASER PERFECTION OIL HEATERS ' Iulm i 7 mn 5 The text of the keynote delivered | last night at the opening of the dem- | ocratic state convention in Hartford by Homer Cummings, is as follows:— The elaborate apologia delivered by Senator Brandegee at the recent re- publican convention affords but little hope of relief from the distressing condition into which publie affairs have fallen, for it clearly indicates that the American people have noth- ing better to look forward to than a continuance of aimless drifting and hopeless floundering.

The Tariff Senator Brandegee in support of the pending tariff bill quotgs from cer- tain of the campaign speeches of the late President, Willilam McKinley. He { neglects, however, to recall one of the | most significant of the utterances of Mr. McKinley. At Buffalo, just prior I'to his assassination, when visioning |, the greater America that was to be, |t President McKinley declared that “the day of exclusiveness is past.”” I com- | mend this sentiment to the makers of the pending tariff bl Sepator Brandegee chatises rhose Connecticut manufacturers and im- prrters who oppose the poliny of 1:0- lation and who are concerned with the maintenance of the markets which America has won in the world. He ignores the storm of disapproval that |, has been aroused all over the coun- try and which is reflected in the ut- terances of many of the most respon- sible of Republican newspapers. The Boston Transcript, a sturdy Republi- can newspaper, on March 1922, sald: “To date, the record of the House of Representatives in the first vear of the inew administration | stamps it unmistakably as the worst | House in 20 years. It has broken more pledges, it has succumbed to more pernicious prapaganda, it has tres- passed in more directions on the executive authority than has any one | of its predecessors in twenty years. Taken as a whole, Houre of Repre- sentatives as controlled by the Repub- lican Party, if judged by its record to | | date, is unworthy another lease of | life.”” The attitude of such papers es | The New York Herald, the New York { Tribune, the Philadelphia Inquirer |and many others is indicative of the | low estate to which the legistlative | | branch of our government has fallen | under republican leadership. t i It t | p r w v | | { friend, even amongst its own mem- bership. Secretary Weeks, himself a | former member of Congress and no | Secretary of War in the Cabinet of land, Ohio on June 15th, 1922, said: ! “The legislative branch of our nation- government probably never has -en at a lower ebb than it is today."” Everywhere and from all sources| there arises the insistent call for |leadership and there is no answer to Whatever else may be said |of the administrations of President Roosevelt and President Wilson, they ht the people the value and the necessity of intelligent leadership. To- day we are absolutely without lead- ership. Amidst all the problems that clamor for settiement, there is not lone strong national volce today in- dicating the way out of the turmoil. Under these bewildering conditions, Republican leadership reverts to type and seeks to reapply the processes of antiquity. At a time when business, industry and agricultural prosperity are largely dependent upon foreign markets, the administration is delib- erately adopting a policy which willy make international trade well-night | limpossbile It is useless for Senator Brandegee | or anyone else to enumerate as great [achievements the routine legislation of | the last congress. It is useless to refer to the paper reduction of the public debt when the taxes are not| reduced, and when most intelligent people are aware of the fact that the| reduction ih question was made pos-| sible through a shifting of balances from 1021 to 1922 and by the use of | the receipts from the sales of the im- | mense surplus of supplies which re- ] mained on hand after the war.

When the demo- cratic party took control in 1912, it passed the Federal Reserve act over the concerted and bitter opposition of all the great republican leaders, That act, together with many other meas- ures, scientific, humanitarian and pro- gressive, marked a period of extra- ordinary progress in legislative mat- ters in this country. Financial panics are practically impossible under the beneficent operations of this demo- cratic law. Under it, America was converted into the greatest creditor nation of the world and we were able to finance, without shock or strain, the opera- tions incident to the great war, The federal reserve system still stands as the great bulwark against financial panic. Even the industrial depression which has spread over this country, beginning shortly after the republican party went into power in 1921 and which has continued ever since, has been unable to shake or undermine the federal reserve system The Policy of Isolation This industrial depression was di- rectly due to the colossal slump in our export trade, and was the imme- diate resultant of the republican pol- icy of isolation, American ‘farmers have suffered losses since the republi- can party was voted into power in November, 1920, to an amount aggre- gating thirty billions of dollars. This vast sum was swept away by the re- publican industrial panic of 1921 and 1922. Several million American work- men were thrown out of work and a staggering blow was struck at Am- erican prosperity. Up to the time that republican victories impaired Ameri- can prestige and lowered the tone of American morale, things were going well with America. America enjoyed a prestige theretofore unknown among nations of the world. Her ships were upon every sea. Her factories were filled with industry. Her farms were intensively tilled and abundantly pros- perous. Her foreign trade exceeded in amount that of any other nation in human annals. Plenty ahounded throughout the land To make secure these blessings and to share them with mankind, we had |but to finish the work we were in, to dare to be great, to remember that America s a part of the world and not apart from the world, to realize that life is the common adventure of all mankind, and to realize that the intimate contacts of modern civiliza- tion have made it, also, a common destiny. Our course for a time seemed manifest. It was clear and glorious to lead, to redeem, help and succor. American power and prestige and honor and statesmanship have never in the entire history of our country reached the heights that they did un- der the leadership of Woodrow Wil- son Then came’ the congressional elee- tions of 1918 For reasons which it is not now necessary to detail, the people took the wrong turn at the fork of the roads. There was an op- portunity in the presidential election of 1920 to retrace these false steps but the people preferred to continue the course which they had chosen This was their privilege. It is one of the fundamentals of democracy that the people have the right to make their own mistakes. Tt was a num- erical defeat, but it was not an intel- lectual overthrow. Since these two elections, conditions have grown steadily worse. Our people abandon- ed a fruitful leadership for a barren {solation The soundness of the policies of the democratic administration is increas- ingly apparent The bitter lessons of cxperience are biting deaper and deeper into the public conscience. It is for us not the hour of retreat but of rededication The present sccretary of state in dealing with Mexico and China, in dis- cussing the cable lines at Yap, in con- sidering the Russian situation and the Colombian treaty and in presenting American claims relative to Mesopo- tamia, speaks the language and pro- claims the policies of his democratic rredecessor.

When the republican party came into power and with its former Allies, our foreign trade was prostrated and our ships were idle. Chairman Lasker of the shipping board, whose knowledge of shipping | matters was acquired entirely after his appointment and which are very limited in any event, has just com- pleted a remarkable transaction by which several hundred American ships, costing many hundred million dollars, have been sold for a ridicul- ously insignificant sum. One enter- prising statistician has calculated that the amount realized, when estimated in percentages, is less than the per- centage of alcoholic content permitted in beer.
