As the keynote speaker at the opening of the state republican convention Sen- ator Brandégee in his clear cut and poimted manner laid emphasis upon the xecomplishments of the present admin- istration from the time the president se- leeted his strong cabinet to the present time. Not only was there recognition of the conditions, both foreign and domes- tie, whieh the country desired changed but the efforts of the administration have been devoted to obtaining the much needed improvement. Well did he lay stress upon the things done, the revision of the war revenus Zcts, the inauguration of the budget sys- tem, the reduetion in taxation, the put- ting through of he poliey of retrench- ment and financial reform, the cutting of govermment expenditures and the re- dyetion of the government indebtedness, the ending of the state of war, the im- migration restricfion wet, the negnt.a- fon of a treaty of peace, the cheeking o the extravagance and waste, the lim- tation of armaments. tha tariff messy~s won to beeome law and the great mass of legislation that has received favora- Me support of the administration and sation by congress. most of which nas wad its part in bringing the country to Ne mwint where onditions indieate pros- writy to be at our deor. That he should refer te the inclina- fon to appeal to the federal government ‘or legislation which ought to be dealt with in the states is the natural resul: ¥ such efforts which expect consress to ™ bevend its econstitutional authority, wt when he declared “in the interest of We gemeral public. and for the preserva- fon of society, and indeed of eivilizatin tself. pome method must be discovered sy which differences of opinion betwe=n s*mployers and employes can sosed without bringing anarchy haos upon the whcle auntry.” with the cond which be com- ar he dealt have ions sur- *ounded the coal and rail strikes n a wannér that cannot fail to receive gen- sral commendation. He deesn't poin: sut the remedy, In fact he says permups “no one is wise enough to state off hand what tWe terms of the remedy to >e applied shall be,” but seme peaceful method of adjustment should be em- ployed. When he deelares that “the onlv pos- sible way of maintaining the American wage seale and the American standard of living is to protect the products of Amer.can laber against the competition he underpaid labor of the old world,” t s just what American workers: are wware of. The méw tariff now under snactmént is for the purpose of holding he American market for the Americin sroducérs whe give employment to those nin our borders who are getting our g seale.
