It is by no means a new one, for while the Republican ormly adhered to the policy of Demoratic party has been con- its opposition. It has held to the of a revenue tariff, and during all s of the contest has em was vention of the of sound econ which are now urged a y & repetition of tk which have found terance for many years. The difference be- adical and fundamental, es the principle of protection and not the measure of the duties to be laid.

A re- vision of the tariff along revenue lines means the increased importation of the products of foreign manufacture which come into compe- tition with our domestic production. It means & loss to the American wage earners and to American capital. This is, therefore, not a theoretical question which s presented to | them, but is one of immediate #nd practical moment. It can be settied by them, and by them enly - History abundantly shows that the greatest industrial development of the country has oc- curred Auring the period when the protective tariff has been maintatned and that during this time labor has received its largest re- wards and capital has been most profitably engaged The development of the country during the | 1ast forty-four years is a complete vindication of the virtue and efficlency of a protective | system. Its benefits lia1 § been diffused through all sections of the country and among all our people. Tt has enlarged our home market until it has become the greatest in the world. This we should not unnecessarily surrender. We | have belleved it to be a wise national policy | to preserve the American market for American | producers and to secure to our workingmen | an increased waze scale. In 1860 the value of our exports and manu- | factures was $40.345,802. Twenty vears later it was $102,556,015, and last year $452,445,620. The pretension of its opponents that the pro- | tective tariff is inconsistent with the exten. sion of our forelgn commerce is thus denied by actual results. In considering the effect of the respective tariff policies of the Republican and Democratic parties we are fortunately able to consult past experience. What a revenue tarlff will accomplish we know, for we have hitherto seen how it has arrested industrial development and embarrassed enterprise to, the injury of both labor and capftal. Neither es- capes its blighting effects. Commerclal reciprocity with foreign tries “‘consistent with the principles of coun- pro- NOMINATION FOR VICE PRESIDENCY Y ACCEPTED BY FAIRBANK — tection” has long been one of the well-recog- nized policies of the Republican party. The present administration, in the face of seri- cus Democratic opposition, secured a treaty of reciprocity with Cuba, ‘which promises to glve us control of a large share of the com- hat island.

It is hoped that the two governments may be able to agree in course to take up the subject of reci- procity with Canada according to the prinei- settled, ples laid down In the Republican national platform. The platform appropriately recognizes com. binations of capital and labor the out- growth of our economic development, and as entitled to the equal protection and subject to the like restrictions of the law.

It has assumed that the s> called trusts are either created or fos- tered by the teriff. The assumption is fal- Jacious. Trusts found in free trade coun- tries and they control commodities in this country which are upon the free list, The Republican party is more direct and ratonal. It does not strike down good and tke. It invokes the authority of Con- P and the power of the courts to deal with specific, well defined combinations in restraint the rights and Interests of the pecple. It 1s as insistent upon the protection of capital employed in wholesale enterprise as in preventing its use In contravention of the public interests, THE GOLD STANDARD. The convention very properly declared it ‘“‘to be the duty of the Republican party to uphold the gold standard.”” There Is no more im- portant duty than to maintaln the stabllity and the character of the money of the peo- ple. Their manifold exchanges should be ef- fected in a currency as free from blemish as @ national integrity. The Republican party been essentially the guardian of the finan- credit of the country and the steadfast port of a sound currency. It has main- teined the national credit and preserved the scundness our monetary system against persistent and powerful opposition, The money question has seemed to be set- tled at various times, but the contest has been reyived by the enemies of sound money whenever they have thought that they might be successful. We should mot relax our vigl- in upholding the integrity of our cur- =0 long as 2 considerable element of our country are at war with it. When Demo- cratic candidates cannot hope to win preferment in a national convention without industriously concealing their monetary views, when Demo- cratic national and State conventions dare not declare their faith in the virtue of the g0ld standard, the hour has not arrived when the forces of sound money should disband and leave the fleld. We not only established the gold standard, but we provided such safeguards as will maintain our silver and paper currency at a parity with it. But all of this may be changed at any time by a hostile Congress or endangered by an unfriendly Secretary of the Treasury. Our past experience warns us that it is onlv a question of time when those who are always opposed to a sound monetary policy will again seck to overthrow it. The Republican convention did well not only to pledge anew our fidelity to the gold stand- ard. but to declare its purpose to uphold *‘the integrity and value of our national currency. “There should be no equivocation or doubt as to our ipflexible purpose. not only to maintain the gold standard, but to keep all silver and paper currepcy at a parity with it. The assumption that the gold standard *‘irrevocabl established” does violence to the law. Tt was established by an act of Congress, but the Congress may alter, amend or repeal timt act at any time. It is no more irrevoca- Lly established than are our tariff schedules. The one may, be changed as readily as the other. Sound money is so vital to our welfare, so tmportant to our industrial development, that we should let its open enemies or - negative friends know that we abate nothing of our determination to uphold-and defend it. Since 1896 we have improved the system as well as increased the volume of our. eur- rency. We have now in circulation $2,521,- 151,527, or $880,042.008 more than we had sevon vears ago. The increase has not been due alone to the larger yield of gold, for $262,609,000, or nearly 80 per cent of the in- crease, is composed of silver and national bank notes, which, under the Republican policy, are essentially the equivalent of gold.

The President’s course in Panama merits | the most generous approval. He dealt with a | dellcate and difficult situation clearly within | our national rights in such a way as to make possible the ea completion of an isthmian canal which has long been demanded in the interest of our commerce and the national de- | fense. He concluded Britain for the Bulwer treaty. the republic of C the negotiations with Great | abrogation of the Clayton- | He negotlated a treaty with | ombia for the requisite | rights and franchises for the construction and | operation of a canal. Its ratification was | contemptuously refused by the Colombian Gov-l ernment. Thereupon the people of Panama renounced their allegiance to the parent gov- ernment and declared thelr izGependence. The President, acting within the imits of his exe- | cutive muthority and in conformity with well | established precedent, promptly recognized | their ependence. He negotiated a treaty | with Panama whereby the United States ob- | tained the necessary rights and franchises for | building and operating the canal. When the insurrection occurred upon the fsthmus the President safeguarded American | interests. He acted promptly, but deliber- ately; prudently, not rashly; firmly, not un-| lawfully. He usurped no authority He only | exercised that executive power which is clearly vested in him by the constitution and which his predecessors had employed under similar circumstances. If he had failed to appreciate our rights, or to act firmly and promptly, blood would have been shed and the rights of American citizens would have been sacri- ficed and the construction of the canal would | have been indefinitely delayed. The President in due time appointed a com- | mission composed of eminent engineers and men of practical experience to undertake the work of constructing the canal as speedily as | practicable. There Is no longer any doubt or uncertainty to the enterprise. Its com- pletion is now an assured fact and it will! stand as one of the memorable achievements | of the new century. The completion of this great work should be left to the administration which has done so | much to carry it forward against formidable | obstacles abroad and vexatious opposition at | home. The administration ir the Philippines has | been dictated by a broad sense of duty. It has | not been subversive of our national ideals, but has been in conformity with the best tradi- tions of the republic. | The archipelago came to the United States | as the result of a r and it became the duty of the administration to enforce the laws there | as elsewhere, to maintain the national sov-| erelgnty and to inaugurate civil government. ! Before the insurrection had ceased President | McKinley admirably expressed our purpose. | Said he: No effort will be spared to bufld up the waste places desolated by war and long vears of misgoverument, e shall not wait for the end of strife to begin the beneficent work. We shall continue as we have begun, to open the schools and the churches, to set the courts In operation, to foster industry and trade and commerce and in every way in our power to make there people whom providence has brought within our jurisdiction feel that it is their liberty and not our power, their welfare | and not our gain, we are seeking to enhance. Our flag has never waved over any community | but in blessing. I believe the Filipinos wiil | soon recognize the fact that It has not lost | its gift of benediction in its world-wide jour- | ney to their shores.” THE McKINLEY SPIRIT. President Roosevelt has continued the work in the same just and generous spirit which in- spired President McKinley. Military rule was quickly succeeded by the civil authority. The people of the islands have been invited as fast as possible to participate in the work of government. The judicial sys- tem has been improved. corruption has been driven out, public schools have been estab- lished and the people are already enjoylng a large measure of self-government. Congress has authorlzed & representative as- sembly to be chosen in due time by the people of the islands. The ballot-box is not the sign of imperialism. No one need have any grave concern with Tespect to the future of the archipelago if the United States goes forwand as heretofore inspired by the same lofty pur- pose which has characterized the administra- tions of President McKinley and President Roosevelt. We may safely trust to the future to deal with the Filipinos in a manner con- sistent with their highest and best interest and with the duty and honop of the Unlted States, The people of the idlands have had abun. dant evidence of the exalted purpose of the United States. The various degrees of ofvile ization among them, their unfamiliarity with civic duties, made it inadvisable to indulge in any declaration as to future policies which may lead to misunderstanding. = The people of the Philippines do not distrust us.

The archipelago belongs to the United States. Its title is vested in this Government by virtue of the treaty of peace negotiated and ratified according to the requirements of the constitu- and the responsibility of administratio rests upon us, not as a matter of sentiment, but as a duty imposed by the obligations of the law. The application of the proceeds of public land sales to the reclamation of irrigable por- tions of our arid and semi-arid public domain meets my cordial approval. Through the en- lightened policy thus established under the present administration the long-deferred hopes of the struggling settlers of the great arid and semi-arid West will be realized in the upbullding of substantial communities in places hitherto waste or comparatively unproduc- tive. At the same time a vast area of the pubiic domain will be opened up on which the | industrious homeseekers, now residing in over- | crowded Eastern centers, may find homes, The sum_of over twenty millions of dollars, now available in the reclamation fund, to which additions are corstantly being made, guar- antees, under - wisey administration, great progress in the work of irrigation, and the settlement of the arld region within a few years.
