liege of exacting oppressive prices at
homo and prices far above the level of
sales made regularly by them abroad
with profit, thus giving a bounty to for-
eigners at the expense of our own peo-
ple. It levies opresslve and unjust taxes
upon many articles forming, in whole or
part, the so-called raw material of many
of our manufactured products, not only
burdening the consumer but also closing
to the manufacturer the markets he needs
and seek* abroad. Its unjust taxation
burdens the people unjustly, forcing
them to pay excessive prices for food, fuel
clothing and other necessities of life. It
lavles duties on many articles r.ot nor-
mally Imported in any considerable
amount which are made exclusively at
home, for which the most extreme pro-
secure their materials on the most favor-
able terms.
Our martyred president. "William Mc-
Ktnley. appreciated thin situation. He
pointed out In his last address to the peo-
ple that we must make sensible trade ar-
rangements if "we shall extend the out-
lets for our Increasing surplus." He said
"a system which provides a mutual ex-
change of commodities Is manifestly es-
sential to the continued and healthful
growth of our export trade. . The
period of excluslveness is past. The
expansion of our trade and commerce

wars are unprofitable. A policy of good
will and friendly relations will prevent
reprisals. Reciprocity treaties are In

JNPBPBNDBNCE FOR FILIPINOS
In some quarters It has been assumed
that In tho discussion of the Philippine
question In my response, the phrase "self-
govemment" was intended to mean some-
thing less than Independence. It was noc
intended that It should be understood to
nit an. nor do I think as used It does
mean less than Independence. However,
to eliminate all possibility for conjec-
ture. I now state that I am In hearty ac-
cord with that plank In our platform
that favors doing for the Filipinos what
wi have already done for tha Cubans; and
to tho formation of huge Industrial com-
binations. which, secure from foreign
competition, arc enabled to stifle domestic
competition and practically to monopolize
the home market.
It contains many duties Imposed for the
expresa purpose only, as was openly avow-
ed, of furnishing a basis for reduction
by means of reciprocal trade treaties,
which the republican administration, im-
pliedly at least, promised to negotiate.
Having, on this promise secured the In-
creased duties, the republican party leao-
ers, spuried on by protected Interests, de-
feated the treaties negotiated by the ex-
ecutive and now the same Interests cling
to the benefit of these duties which the
people never Intended they should have
and to which they have no moral right.
s Even now the argument most fre-
quently urged In behalf of the Dlngley
tariff and ugalnst tariff reform generally
Is the ©necessity of caring for our Infant
Industries. Many of these Industries, af-
ter a hundred years of lusty growth, are
looming up as industrial giants. In their
t ase at least the Dlngley tnrlff Invites
combination and monopoly, and gives Jus-
tification to the expression that the tarlfT
Is th « mother of trusts.
For the above mentioned reasons,
among many others, the people demand
reform of these abuses and such reform
demands should receive immediate atten-
tion.
The two leading parties have alyaya
differed as to the principle of customs
taxation. Our party has always advanced
the theorv that the object Is the raising
uf revenue for current expenses of the
frovernment whatever other results may
ncidentally flow therefrom The repub-
lican party, on the other hand, contends
that customs duties should be levied pri-
marily for protection, so-called, with rev-
enue as the subordinate purpose, thus
using the power of taxation to build up
the business and property of the few a'
the expense of the many.
This difference of prlnlcnle. still sub
slsts. but our party appreciates that the
long continued pollc>wof the country, us
manifested In Its stamtes, makes It nec-
essary that tarlfT reform should be pru-
dently and sagaciously undertaken, on
scientific principles, to the end that there
should not be an Immediate revolution
In existing conditions.
In the words of our platform we de-
mand "a revision and a gradual reduction
of the tarlfT by the friends of the masses
and for the commonweal, and not by
the friends of Its abuses, its extortions
and discriminations."
It Is true that the republicans do not
admit In their platform that the Dlngley
tarlfT needs the slightest alteration,(flkire
This argument was made in the In-
terest of our manuTacturers. whose pro-
lucts, he urged, "have so multiplied, that
the problem of more markets requires
our urgent nnd immediate attention."
He had come to reallxe that the Ho-called j
"stand pat" policy must give way-that >
there must be a reduction of duties j
enable our manufatcurers to cultivate j
foreign markets. The last words of this
president—who had won the affection of
his countrymen—ought to he studied by |
every man who has any doubt of the j
necessity of a reduction in tariff rates in
the Interest of the manufacturer. They j
present with clearness a situation and |
a proposed remedy that prompted the pro-
vision in our platform which declares
that. "We^favor liberal trade arrange- j
ments with Canada and with peoples of I
other countries where they can be enter- j
ed into with benefit to American agrlcul- I
ture, manufacturing, mining or com- I
merce."

have In late years assumed special lm- !

Philippines, we were practically Invul-1

Des Moines, la., Sept. 26—Ex-Speaker
Dave B. Henderson twice elected speak-
er of the national house of representa-

and even his best friends are denied
a request that he take the stump In
the interest of the republican party.
He failed to recognize the men who vis-

long friends and party associates for
years.
Mr. Henderson's family has closely
guarded the secret of his Increasing for
getfulness. although it is now believ-
ed that their realization of the fret Chat
his memory was falling caused him to
decline to serve as speaker for another
term. His political friends, true to him.
with his relatives kept the secret as
long as possible. Now that the long
guarded secret has become public both

THE TARIFF AND TRC8TS.
Tariff reform la one of the cardinal prin-
ciples of the democratic faith and the tier
al senate throughout the next presl-
_ .... tt pi
dentlal term, and could, therefore. If they
chose, block every attempt at legislative
relief. Hut It should be rememberd that
the republican party includes many revi-
sionists and 1 believe It will shrink from
defying popular will expressed unmis-
takably and peremptorily at the ballot
box.
,„A fr.« <"^\y ' increasl d' ^hU^'hav'l5«htefirl'rn-
comei have suffered keenly; those living

know that such Increase has not kept pace
with the advance in the cost of living. In-
cluding rent and the necessaries of life.
Many today are out of work, unable to
secure any wages at all. To alleviate theae
conditions Insofar sa is In our power,
should be our earnest endeavor.
RECIPROCITY.
en thousand miles from our shores, have
changed all this and havo In effect put
under bonds to keep the peace. The |
new conditions call for a management |
of foreign affairs the more clrsmnspect
In that the recent American Invasion of |
foreign markets In all parts of the world
has excited the aerlous apprehension of
all the great Industrial peoples It Is
essential therefore, more than ever, to j
adhere strictly to the traditional policy I
of the country as formulated by Us first
president and never. In my Judgment,
widely departed from—to Invite friendly
relations with ail nations while avoiding
entangling alliances with any. Such a
policy means the cultivation of peace
Instead of the glorification of war, and
the minding of our own business in lieu
of spectacular Intermeddling with the af-
fairs of other nations It means strict
observance of the principles of interna-
tional law and condemns the doctrine tlnlt
a gxeat state by reason of Its strength.
maPrlghtfully appropriate the sovereign-
ty or territory of u small state on ac-
count of Its weakness It means for
other American states that we claim no
right and will assume no functions save
those of a friend of an ally and defend
er as against EufRpean aggressions. It
means tnat we repudiate the role of the
American continental policeman; that we
refuse to act as debt collector for foreign
stat« s or their cltlsons; that we respect
the independent sovereignty of each
American state and Its right to preserve
order and otherwise regulate Its own
Internal affairs In Its own way; and that
any Intervention In Its affairs by us Is
limited to the single office oT enabling
its people to work out their own political
and national destiny for themselves free
from the coercion of any EuJjppean state
CONCLUSION
In the Interest oT all our
people,
The Dlngley tariff Is excessive in many
iff Its rates, and. at to them at least, un-
justly and oppressively burdens the peo-
ple. It secures to domestlce manufactur-

In my address to the notification com-
mittee I said that tariff reform "Is de-
manded by the best Interests of both man-
ufacturer atid consumer" With equal
truth It can be said that the benefits of
reciprocal trade treaties would Inure to
both. That the consumer would be help-
ed Is unquestionable. That the manu-
fact wi er would receive great benefit by
extending his markets abroad hardly
needs demonstration His productive ca-
pacity hss outgrown the tiome market.
The very term "Home Market." has
changed In Its significance. Once, from
the manufacturers' point of view, 1t
meant expansion, today the marvelous
growth of our manufacturing Industries
has fur exceeded the consumptive capacity
of our domestic markets and the term
"home market" Implies contraction, rath-
er than expansion If wo would run
