HARRISO [CONTINUED FROM PINST PAGE. | correctly, has been mado to appear to be— botween n high and a low protective tariff, both parties oxprassing somo solicitous re- gard for the wages of our workiag people and for the prosperity of our domestic in- dustries. But, under a more courageous leadership, the democratic party has now practically declarcd that, if given power, it will enast atanfl law without any rogard toits effect upon wages or the capital in- wvested in our great industries, The majority report of thu committee on platform to the democratic natiomul conven- tion at Chicago contained this ciause: “That when custom house taxation s levied upon articles of any kind produced in this country, the difference between the cost of labor here and abroad, when such a difference exists, fully mensures any possible beuefits to labor, and the enormous additional impositions of the existing tariff fall with crushing force upon our farmers and workingman." Here we have a distinct admission of the ropublican contention that American work- men orm advantaged by a tariff ratc equal to the difference betweon home and foreign wages and a declaration only against the alleged ndditional “'impositions" of the exist- ing tarif law. Another Demaeratic Admission. Again, this majority report further de- clavred: “But in making a reduction in taxes it is not proposed t> fujure any domes- tic industries, but ratber to promote their boealthy growth. * * * Morcover, many andustries havo coma to rely upon legislation for successful contlinuauce, so that any change of law must be at every step rozard- ful of the labor ana the capital thus in- volved.” Here we havo an admission that many of cur indusiries depend upon protective duties, “for their suceassful continuance,’ and a declaration that tariff changes should ho re- gardful of the workmen in such industries and of the invested capital. The overwhelm- i rejection of these propositions,which had befora. received the sanction of democratic nationsl couventions, was ot more irdicative of the new and more courageous Inadersuin 2 which the party has now committed itselt than the substitute which was adopted. The substitute declares that protective duties are unconstitutional—high protection, low pro- tection—all nnconstitutional. A democratic congress holding this view cannot enact, nor a aemocratic president upprove, any t iff schedule, the purpose or effect of which is to limit importations or 1o give any ad- vantago to an American workman or pro- ducer. A bounty might, Ijudge, bo given 10 the iiaportors uncer this view of the con- stitution in order to increase importations, and so the revenue—for “revenue only’ —is toe limitation. Reciprocity, of course, falls under this denunciation, for its obj ave not revenue, but the promotion of com- mercial exchanges, the profits of which go wholly to our producers. Destructive Polley of Democracy, This destructive, unamerican doctrine was not.held or thought of by the mstoric democratic statesmen whose fame s American patriots has reuched this gener~ ation—certainly not by Jefferson or Jackson, I'his mad crusade ngainst American shops, the bitter cpithets applied to American manufacturers, the parsistent disbelief of every report of the openinz of a tin plato mill or an incroase of our foreign trade by reciprocity, are as surprising as they ars diser There not a thought- ful business man this count who does rot know that the enaci- ment into law of the declaration of the Chicago convention on the subject of the tarifl would at ouce plunge a business coi vulsion such as 1t has never seen, acd there is not a thoughtful worl man who does not know that it would enor- mously reauco the amount of work to be done in this country by the iccrease of im- portations that would come in, und would pecessitate a reduction of his wages o the European standard. If anyone suggests that this radical policy will not be ivangurated after the democratic purty assumes covtrol, what shall we think of a party that is capablc of thus trifling with great inte st Their threat of such iegislation would only be less hurtful than the fact. A distinguished democrat rightfully described this platform as chal- lenge to the protected industries to a fight of extermination, and another such righily expressed the lozic of the situation when he interpreted the Chicazo platform to be an invitation to all democrats holding even the most moderate protective views to go into the republican party. Good Effects of the Existing TarifT. And pow s few words in reward to the ex- Isting tariff law. We are fortuuately able 10 judge of its influecce upon prices by the market reports, Tho day of the prophet of calurity has boen succeedea by that of the trade reporter. An examination into the effect of the law upow tha prices of pro- tected products and of the cost of such articies as enter into the living of people of small means hus been made by a seuate com- mittee composed of leading senators of both parties, with the aid of the vest statistician: and n report signed by all the w.embers of the committee bas been given to the public. No such careful inguiry has ever belore been made. These facts appcar from the report: "irst—The cost of articles entering nto the usoof those enrning less than §1,000 per monuin has decreas:d up to May 1, 1802, 8.4 pec cent, wiile in farm products there bas been an increase in prices, owing in part to an increused foreign demand and tho opening of new markets, Iu England during the sawe period, tho cost of living has in- creased 1.9 por cent. Tested by their power to purchaso urticles of necessity, the earn- ings of our working veople have never been erent 4s thev 4ro Now. Second—Tuers has been an average ad- vance in the rate of wages of .75 of 1 per cent. Third—There has been an adva price of all f.rm products of 1 aud of all ceroals of 33.59 per cent. ‘I'he ninth annual report of the chief of the burean of labor statistics of the state of New York, » democratic officiul, very re- cently issued, strongly corronorates us to that state the fasts found by the senate com- mittee. His extended inquiry shows that in tho year immediately following the pas- sugeof the tanfl act of 1800 the aggrogate sum paid in wages in that state was £6, 225 in excess, and the acgrezate production B31,815,130 in'excess of the preceding year. Has Not Imposed Burd In view of this showing of an increase in wages, of a reduction of the cost of articles of commou aecessity and of & marked ad- vanee in the prices of agricultural products, it s plain that this tariff law has not im- vosed burdens, but._has conferred benefits upon the furmer and the workingman, Some special effects of tho act should be noticed. It was a courageous attempt to rid our people of a long-maiutained foreign monopoly in the production of tin rlulq pearl buttons, silk plush, linens, e, ele. Oaco or twico in our Listory the production of tin vlate had “been attempted, but the Welsh makers would wov enable our makers 1o produce iv au w profit. They cut_prices to o polut that drove the American bewinnors out of tho business, and when this was ac- complished again made their own prices. A correspondent of the Industrial World, the cficisl organ of the Welsh tin plate workors, published in Swauses, in the issue of June 10, 1892, advises'n new trial of these mothods. He says: Do not be decetved. The victory of the republicans ot the polls means the retention of the Me- Kinley bill and means the rapidly accruivg loss of 80 per cont of the American trade, Had there been no democratic victory in 1500 the I:x“'d of tin piate manufacture in the United States would have been boti rapid and bona fide. * * ¥ It is not yet too lato to do sometbing to reduce the prico of the plates. Put them down (0 11 sbillings ¥ box of 100, 14x20, full weight basis, Let he workmen take half pay for a few months and turn out more, and then let the master forego profits for the same twe. And, sgmin, that paper says: it Is clearly the interesis of both (emplover and forewun) to produce tin plates, tariff or no tariff, at price that will drive all competitors from tho fleld. ' But i spite of tne doubts raised by the elections of 1800 and of the machinations of forelgn producers 1o malutain their wonop- ol7, tin plate indusirics have been estab- lisbed in the United States, und the alliauce between the producers and the democratic party for its destruction will not succeed, Rapid Growth of the Tin Plate tndusiry. Tho oficial returns to the Treasury de- partment of the production of tin and wroe ‘uu. 0 the United States duriog the last scal year show a total production of 13,240, B sod & comparison of whe first is in itable. co on the v cent, S LETTER | 022 pounds) with the last (8,000, (00 pounds) shows the rapla_development of the industry, Over 5,000,000 pounds since the last quarter were mado from American black plates, the romainaer from foreign plates. Mr, Ayer, the treasury agent in charge, estimates, #s the result of careful in- auiry, that the production of the current year will be 100,000,000 pounds, and that by the end of the year the production will be at the rate of 200,000,000 pounds per annum. Another industry that has been practically createa by the Mckiniay bill, is the mak of pearl buttons. Few articles coming to us from abroad were so distinctly tue product of stacyation wages. But without unduly extending this letter [ cannot foliow in do- tail tho influcnces of the tarift law of 180, 1t hins transplanted several important indus- tries and established, improved or enlarged all others. Th2 uot ¢ives to the miners pro: tection against foreign silver bearing lead ora, the free introduction of which threat- encd the great mining industries of the Rocky mountain states; and to the wool growers, protection to their flecco and flocks, which has saved them from further disastrous decline. The house of representatives at its last session passed bills placing these ores and wool on the free list. The people of the west well know how destructive to their prospority these meas- ures ivould be, This tarift law has given employment to many thousands of American mea and women und will each yoar giye em- ployment to increasing thousands, Its re- peal would throw thousands out of emplov- ment and give work to others only at re- duced wages, Appenls of Free Traders, The appeals of the fros trader to the work- ingmun are nddressod to his projudices or to his passions, and not wfrequently are pro- nounced communistic, Toe new democratic leadership rages at the employer and soeks 10 communicate his rage to the emplove. [ greatly regret that all employers of labor are not just and considerate, and that cap- ital sometimes takes too large a share of the profits, But [ do not sce thiv these evils will bo amelorated by o tariff policy, the fivst necessary offect of whic is a severa wage cut, and the second u large diminution of the aggregate amwount of work to be done in this country. It the injustice of his employer tempts the workman to strilto back he should be very sure that his blow does not fall upon his own head or upon his wife and children. ‘I'ne workmen in our great industries are, as & body, remarkably intelligent, aud are lov- ers of home and country. They may be roused by injustice, or what scems to them to bo such, or be led for the moment by otliers 1nto ‘acts of passion; obut they will settle the tariff contest in the calm bhght of their November firesides, and with sole referovce to the prosperity of the country of which they arc citizens, and of tho homes they have founded for their wives and children. No inteliigent advocate of protective tariff claims that it is able of itsclf to maintain a uniform rate of wages—without regard to fluctuations in the supply of and demand for the products of labor—but it is confidently claimed that protective, dutles strongly tend to hold up wuges, ond ure the only barriers against & reduction to the European scaie. Added Wealth to the South. The southern states have had a liberal par- ticipation in the tencfits of tariff law, al- though their representatives have generally opposed the protection policy. I rejoico that their suwar, rice, coul, ores, “iron, fruits, cot- ton cloths and other produots have not been Jeft to the ruin their representatives would have brought upon them. In the construc- tion of the Nicaraguan canal, in the new trade with South and Central America, in the es- tublishment of American steamshiplines, the southern states also bave special Interests, ana all these nterests will not always con- 10 be without representation ut Wash- on. wrowdly, but not quite faivly, our adver- sarios spruk only of the increased duties im- posed upon tin, pearl buttons aud other ar- ticles by the McKinley bill, and owmit alto- gether any reference to the great and bene- nlargement of the free list. During veur £458,000,7i2 worth of mer- chandise, or 55.5) per cent of our total im- partotions, came in free (the largest percentagein our history), while in 1850 the percentage of frce importations was only i4.42 per cent. The placing of sugar upon the free list has saved to the consumer in duties in fifteen months, after paying che bounties provided for, £57.000,000. This re- lief bas beeu substantially felt in every household uvon every Saturday’s purchase of the workingmen. Oue of the favorite arguments against a protective taniff is tnat it shuts us out from a participation 1n what is called with swell- ing cwphasis “the markets of the world,” If this view is not a false one how does 1t happen that our comeercial competitors are not able to bear with more serenity our sup- posed surrender to them of ‘“the markets ot the . world,” and how does it hapnen that the partial loss of our market closes foreign tin plate mills and plush fac- tories that still have all other marketst Our natural advantages, our protective tariff and the reciprooity policy make it possible for us to have u large participation ia the “warkets of the world.” without onening our own to competition that would destroy the comfort of and independence of our nation. quarter (8 tne Jas The Colnage Question. The resolution of the convention 1n* favor of vitaetalism declares, I thiii, the true and necessary eonditionso! a movement thut has upon these lines my covdial ndherence and support. I am thoroughly couvinced that the free coinage of silver at such a ratio to gold as will main- tain the equality i the com- mercial uses of the two coined dollars, would conduce 10 the prosperity of all the great commercial nations of the worln. The one cssential condition is that these dollars shall have and retain an equal acceptability and value 1n all commercial transactions. They aro nol ouly a wedium of exchange, but a measuro of value, and when un- equal measures are called in law by the same name, commerce is unsotiled and confused and tho unwary and ignorant are cheated. Doliars of unequal commereial value will not circulate together, Thas vetter dollar is withdrawn and becomes wer- chandise. The true nterest of all our veople, and especially of the farmers and working people, who cannot closely observoe the money murket, 18 that ey dollar, paper or coin, issued or @uth- orized by the government, shall at all timos and in allits uses, bo the exact equivalent, not only in debt paying, but in purchasing power, of any other doliar. I am quite sure that if we should now act upon this subject, independently of other nations, we would greaily promote their interests and injuro our own. The monetary condi- tions in Kurope within the Jast two vears, have, I thwnk, tended very much to develop a sentiment in favor of 8 larger use of silver, and I wae much pleased and encouraged by the cor- diulity, promptness and unanimity with which the initiation of this government for an nteroationtl confereace upon the sub- joct was ncuo\lletl by all the powers. We muy not only hove for, but exvect highly beneficial results from this which will now soon assemble. When the result of the conlorence is kngwo, we shall then be able intelligently to readjust our financial legisiation to any new couditions. On the “Force" Bill, In my last annual message to congress I snid: I must vet hope that it is possible to secure a calm, patriotic cousideration of such constitutional or statutory changes as may ve necessary 1o securo the choice of the oficers of the government to the people by fair apportionments and tree elections. I believe 1t will bo possible to constitute u. commission, nonpartisan in its membership una - comnosed of patriotic, wise and impartial men, to whom a consideration of the questions of the evils connected with our clectlon systems and methods wight be com- mitted witha good prospect of securing u imity 1o some plan for removing or mitizat- ing those evils. The constitution would per- mit the selection of the commission to be vested in the supremo court, und that method would give guaranty of impartiality. This commission ~ should be charged with the duty of inquiring into the wholo subject of the law of olections as re- lated to tho choice of officers of the national #overnment, with & view to securing to every olector u free and unmolested exerciso of the suffrace wud as unearan approach to the equality of value in each ballot cast as 18 ai taloable. * * < The Jomand that limita tion of suffrage shall bo found in law and only there, Just demand, and no just mun sbould resent or resist it," Itacemed to we that an appeal to our peoplo to consider the question of adjusting our legislation upon avsolutely nonpartisan lines mwght tind some effeciive respouse, Many times I have bhad occasion to u laws aud clection methods designed to giv uvfair wdvautage toa party would sowe be used 1o perpetuate u powerfal fag- conference, THE tion or party against the will of the majority of the people. Examples from Alabama, Of this we seem to have an illustration in the recent state election in Alabama. There was no republican ticket in the field. The contest was betwoen white democrats. The Kolb party say they were refused the repre- sontation guaranteed by law upon the elec- tion board, and that, when the courts by mandamus -me‘rtm 10 right this wong, an appeal, that could not bs heard until after tho election, made tho writs ineffoctual. Ballot boxes wera thrown out for aileged irrogularitios or destroyed; and, it is ns- serted on behalf of ono half at least of the white voters of Alabama, that the officers to whom certificates have been given were oot honestly elected. There is no security for personal and political rights "in such methods. Tho power of the states over the question of quulification of electors is amplo to protect them against the dangers of un_ignorant or depraved suffrage, and the demund that every man found to be gualified under tne law shall bo made secure in the rignt to cast a free ballot and to have that ballot honestly counted cannot be abated. Our oid re- publican vattie cry, A free ballot and fair count,” comes back to us, not only from Alabama, but from other states and from men wao aiffer from us widely in opinions. They have come to see that parties and political debate are but a mockery, it, when the debate is ended, the judgment of honest majorities 1s to be re- versed by ballot box frauds and tally sheet manipulations in the interest of Lo party or party faction in power. Theso new political movements in the states and Lhe recent decisions of some of the state courts against unfair apportionment laws, oncourage the hope that the arbitrary partisan election laws and practices which havo prevailed may be corrected by the states, the luw muae equal and unonpartisan, aua the elec: tions free and houest. The repuolican party would rejoice ut such a solution, as a healthy #ud patrioticlocal sontiment 13 tho boest as. surance of free and hounest olections. I shail again urge upon congress that provision bo mudo for the appointment of a nonpartisan comwission to consider the subject of appor- tionments and elections in their relation to the choice of federal vfMcers. Clvil Servico System. The civil service system has been extended and the law enforced with vigor and 1mpar- tiality, Taere has been no partisan juggling with the law 1n any of the depurtments of bureaus, as had bofore happened—but ap- pointments to the classified service have been made Jmpartially from tne eligibis lists, The system now in forcein all depart- ments has for tho first tim) placed promo- tions strictly upon the basis of merit as as- cortainea by u daily record, azd the ef- ciency of the force thereby greatly iu- creased. Our Public School System. The approval so heartily given by the con- vention to all those agencies which contrib- ute to the education of the children of the land was worthily bestowed, aud meots my heurty approval, as does also the declaration as to the liverty of thougnt and conscience and the separation of church and state. The safety of the republic is ob in- | telligent citizenship, and the 1ucreased interest manifested in the states in educa- tion, the cheerfulness with which the neces- sury taxes are paid by all classes, uad tho re- newed interest manifested by the children in the national flag,are hopeful indicatious that the coming geueration will direct public affairs with increased prudenco ana patriot- ism. Our interest in free public schools open to all children of suitabio age, is su preme, and our care for them will be’ jealous aud coustant. Tne public school system, however, was not fntenaca to rostrain the uatural mght of the parent, afier con- tributing to the public school fund, to choose other educational agewcies for his children. 1 favori:a aid by the genoral governmeut to puolic schools, with @ special view to the necessitics of some of the southern states, but it is gratifying to notice that many of these states are, with commenduble liberal- v, developing their school systems and in- creasing their school revenues, to the great advantage of the children of botn races. State and Agricultural Department Work. Considerato attention of the farmers of the whole country is invited to work done through the State and Agricultural depart- meuts in the interest of agriculture. Our pork products had been for ten years not only excluded by the great continéntal na- tions of Europs, but their virtue daiscredited by the reasons given for this ex- ciusion, AlL previgus efforts to seeure the removal of vhese restrictions had failed, but the wiso legislation of the Kifty-first con- gress, providing forthe official wspection of our meats and @iving to the resident power 1o forbid the introduction into this country of selected products of such countries as should continue to refuse our iuspected meats, en- abled us to oven all the markats of Kurope to oar products. The result has been not only to sustaiu prices by providing new markets for our surpius, but to add 50 cents per 100 pounds to the warket value of the in- spected meats. Our Cattle and Corn tn Europe. Under the reciprocity agreements special favors have been secured for agricultural products, and our exports of such products have been greatly increased, with a sure prospect of furthier aud rapid iucrease. The Aericultural department has obtained an agent in Burope, whose special duty iitroduce there the various preparations of corn as an articie of food and bis work has been very successful. The department has also sent skilled veterinarians to Liver- pool to examiue, in connection with the British veteriuarians, the cattle from the United States landed at that port, and the vesult in connection with the samitary methods adopted at home has bgen that we hear no more about our cattle being aflected with pleuro-pneumonia, Our system of quarantive has preveuted thoe infection of northern cattlo with ‘L'oxas fever. ‘I'ie tariff bill of 1890 gives better protec- tion to farm products suoject to foreign com- petition thun they had ever before, and the home markets for such products have been enlurged by the establishment of new in- dustries and the development of others. We mauy confidently submit to the intelligent and candid judgment of the American farmer whether in any corresponding period so much has been done to prowote his interests, and whether in a continuance and extension of these methods thoreis not a bet- ter prospect of food to him than in the invi- tation of the democritic party to give our home market to foreign manufacturers and abaadon tho recivrocity policy; and better also than the radical and untried wethods of relief proposed by other parties which are soliciting bis support. ‘The Nicaraugus Canal, 1 havo often oxpressed my opinion of the value of the Nicaraugus ship canal to our commerce and to our nayy. ‘Tho project is not one of convenivncae, but of necessity, It is quite possible, I believe, if the United States will support the enterprise, to secure the speedy completion of the canal without taxing tho treasury for any direct contribu- tion, and at the same time to secure the influ- ence in its maungement which is imperative, Our Forelgn Relations, 1t has been the alm of the administration to make its foreign policy not a matter ot partisan politics, but of patriotism und na- lonal bonor, #and 1 huve very great gratifi- culion in being ablo to s:ate that the demo- cratic members of the committee of foreign affars respouded in a true American spirit. 1 bave not hesitated to consuit froely with them about the most confidential und delicate affairs aud 1 frankly contess my obligation for needed co-operation, They did not regard w patient, but fivm insistence upon American rights and upon inmuuity from insult aud injary for our citizens and swilbrs in foreign ports as o policy af “irritation and bluster.” They did not believe, as some others seem to believe, that to be & democrat one must take the for- c1gn side of every international question, if a republican administration is couducting the Americau side. Idonot believe that & rume submission to insult and outrage by any uutiou at the hands of any other can ever form the basis of lasting friendship— the necessary element of mutual respect will by wanting. “The Chinen incident, now 8o happily and houorably adjusted, will, 1 do not doubt, place our relations with that brave peoplé ugon a more frienaly busis than over before, Tbis already o rs (0 Lhe agreement sinve negotiated by Mr. Kgan for the settlement by @ cowmmission of the long unseutled ciaims between the two governments. The work of Mr. Egan has been highly advao- tageous to the United States, and the confi- dence which prompted e Lo refuse to with- draw him bas bsea abundtanly justified. In our relations with the great European powers, the rights of the United States and N\ OMAHA DAILY BE “REC of our citizens havy, n insisted upon with firmnoss.

The Samoan question and the & s6a question, which came over from the " preceding adninistra- tion, bave been, ong pettlod and ths other submitted to nr:a tion upon a fair basis, Nover before, I thile: ia a like period, have 0 many important ireaties and commercial agreements been concluded, und never be- fore, I am sure, have tho honor and influ- ence, national and eommercial, of the United States beon held 1n nigher estimation in both hemisplieres ¥ Unton Veteraik df the Late War. The union soldibrs and sailors are now voterans of time aw well as of war. The parailols of ago have upproached close to the citadols of 1ifo and the ona, for each hero of a brave and honorable strugale, 1s not remote. Increasing finfirmity and years give the minor tonos of sndness and pathos to the michiy appeal of service und suffering. The ear that ooes not liston with sympathy, and the beart that does not respond with generosity, are tho earand heart of an alien, and not of an American. Now soon again the surviving veterans are to parade’ upou tho great av- enue of the national capital, and overy trib- ute of honor and love shoula attend tho morch. A comrade in the column of ths victor's parade in 1865, 1 am not less a comrade now. Riot Violence Depreented. 1 have used every suitable occasion to urgo upon the people of all sections the ‘consider- ation that no good cause can be promoted upon the lines of lawlessness, Mobs do not disoriminate, and the punishments inflictod by them have no reprossive ur salutatory influence. On the contrary, they beget ro- venges and perpotuate fends, 1t is especially the duty of tho educated and influential to seo that the weak and ignorant who are accused of crimo aro fairly tried bofora law- ful tribunats. The moral sentiment of the country should be aroused and broughtto bear for suppression of these offenses aguinst the law and social order. Immigracion, Tho necessity for a careful discrimination among the cmigrants seeking our shoros ve- cemes every day more appirent. We do not want and should not veceive those, who. by reason of baa character or habit, are not wanted at home. The Industrious ana scif- respecting, the lovers of law and liborty, should be diserimnated from the paupor, the criminal and the anarchist, who como only 10 burden and disturd our communities, Every effort has been mads to enforco the laws and some convlctions have been secured uuder the contract labor law. Our Unparalleled Prosperity. The goneral condition of our country 18 one of great prosperity. The blessing of God has rested ugon our fields and upon our peo- ple. Tbe aunual value of our foreign com- merce has increascd more than $400,000,000 over the average for the preceding year, and more than £210,000,000 over 1890, the last year unaffected by the new tariff. Our exportsin 1892 exceeded those of 1800 by more than $172,000,000, and the annuakaverage for ten years by §205,000,000, Our exports of bread- stuffs increased over those of 1890 more than $144,000,000; of provisions over §4,000,000, aud of munufacturers' over £5.000,000. The merchandise balance of trade in our favor in 1802 was §202,044,842. No other na- tion can match the commercial progress which these figures disclose. Our compas- sion may well ¢o,out to those whose party necessities snd habms sull compel them to aeclare that our people are oppressed and our trade restricted by a protective tariff. In Gonclusion. It 15 not possiblg for me to refer even in the briefest wdy to many of the topics presentea in the resolutions adopted ~ by the, convertion. Upon all that have not been discussed, I have be- fore pubticly expressed my views. A change in the personnel of a'national administration is of comparatively Jittle moment. If those exercisig public fubetions are able, honest, diligent and faithful,’ others possessing all these qualities may be found to take thewr places. But changes in the laws &nd in ad- ministratve policies are of great moment. When public affatrs have been given a divection ~ aud business bas ad- justed itself ~‘to' “those lines, any sudden change involves_a stoppage and new business adjustments. If the change of di- rection is 50 radical s to bring the commer- cial turntable into “mni the business changes involved are not readjustments, but recon- structions, ‘The democrauic party offers a program of demolition. The wrotective policy—to which all business, even that of the importer, is now adjustod—the recipro- city policy, the rew merchant marine, are all to be demolished, nov gradually, not takeu down, but blown up. To this program of destruction 1t bas added one constructive feature, the re-cstablisbment of state banks of issue. - he policy of the republican party is, on the other hand, distinctively a policy of safe progression and developaict—of new fac- tories, new markets and new ships, It will subject business to no periious changes, but offers attractive opportunities for expansion upon familiar lines.
