There was a parade ns soon as O.loncl Koose- velt arrived. The crowd cheered contin uously, as hard ns It could. After the parade the Colonel was taken to a Iiur circus tent which had been sot uu in the ml. 1st of the city. The rows of seats thnt extended up the canvas covering of the tent were filled and crowds surged In to center their i yea on the Colonel, wln stood hls.li above them on a plat form. t'liccra Pclnjr Siw"x.'li. When he appeared on the platform a roar of cheers burst out which lasted for several minutes ami it took him a good deal longer than he had expected to make his speech, beratise the people spent al most as much time In cheerlnu as they did In llotenlnc. The Colonel s.iM: 'Whenever men Junt like ourselves probably not much better, and certainly no worse continually fnll to Rive us the results we have a right to expect from their efforts, we may Just as well make up our minds thal the fuult lies. ntt In their personality, but In the conditions under which they work, and profit comes, not from denouncing them, hut In seeing that the. conditions are changed. This is especially trio of tariff-making. It hna been conclusively shown by experiments repeated again and nt a In. that the meth ods of tariff-making by Congress, which have now obtained for so many years, cannot, from the very nature of the case, bring really satisfactory results. 'With the present tariff, mude by the same methods ns Its predecessor nn.l ns that predecessors predecessor, there Is gr tve dissatisfaction. ' The people know tnal there are some things in it which are not right and therefore they tend to suspect the. as I think, mure numerous things In It which are right. Thcy know thnt the system on which It is made, the same system In which Its predecessors were made, encourages a scramble of selfish Interests, to which the all-important general Interest of the pub lic is necessarily more or less sub ordinated. ieneral Welfare Klrl. "There was a time when this scramble was r.gar.let) as the natural course In tariff making and was not rerouted. Xow the people demand, and rightly, that the profit of the special interests shall he subordinated to the general welfare In every case. It Is this attitude of the pei.ple which must be met in dealing with the present tariff. Very little Improve ment. Indeed, will follow any uttcmpl to revise the tariff by methods hitherto used. MrtliniU Mit"t lie Changes!. "The thing to do Is to change the methods. "I believe th country Is fully commit ted to the principle of protection; but It Is to protection as a principle, to protec tion primarily In the Interest of the standard of living of the American workingman. I believe that when pro tection becomes, not a principle, but a privilege and a preference or. rather, a Jumble of privileges and preferences then the American people disapprove of It. Now. to correct the trouble. It Is necessary. In the first place, to get In mind clearly what we want. and. In the next place, to get In mind clearly the method by which we hope to ob tain what we want. What we want ts a s.juare deal In the tariff as In every thing else: a square deal for the wage earner, a souare deal for the employ er, and a square deal for the general public. To obtain It we must have a thoroughly efficient and well-equipped tariff commission. Tariff Bet-onie Moral Issue. "The tariff ought to be a material Issue nnd not a moral Issue; but If instead of a square deal we get a crooked deal, then It becomes very emphatically a moral Issue. What we desire In a tariff Is such a measure of protection as will equalise the cost of production here and abroad: and aa the cost of production Is mainly labor cost, this means primarily a tariff sufficient to make Up for the difference In labor cost here and abroad. The American public wants the American laboring man put on an equality with other citizens, so that he shall have the ability to achieve the American standard of living and the capaeity to enjoy It; and to lo this we must see that Ms wages are not low ered by Improper competition with In ferior wage-workers abroad with V I : l TkiinM K. Mi I pp. Secretary. wage-w-orkera who ore paid poorly ami who live us no Amcricnns lire willing to live. Rut the American pub lic does not wish to see the tariff so arranged as to benefit primarily a few wealthy men. Coniiiiilon Ii Necessary. ""As a mean toward the aitulnment of Its end in view we have ns yet de vised nothing In any way as effective, as a tariff commission. There should be a commission of well-paid experts men who should not represent nny industry. who should be musters of their subjects, of the very highest character, and who should approach the matter with nbsoliite disregard of every outside consideration. These men should tnke up In succession each subject with which the tariff deals and Investigate the conditions of pro duction here anil abroad: they should find out the facts and not merely ac cept the statements of Interested par ties, and they should report to Con gress on each subject as soon as that subject hns been covered. Then action can be taken at once on the particu lar subject concerned, while the com mission immediately proceeds to In vestigate another. Ity these means log-roiling would be avoided and each subject treated on .Its merits, while there would be no such shock to gen eral Industry as Is Implied in the present custom of maklne sweeping changes In the wholo tariff at nine. Finally. It should be the duty of some cSovernmental department .or bureau to Investigate the' conditions in tiie various protected Industries, ami sec that the laborers really are getting the beni lit ctf the tariff supposed to be en acted 'n their interest. Moreover, to Insure good treatment abroad we should keep the maximum and mini mum provision. Itlver mill Harbor Laws Selfish. "The same principle of a lirst-clnss outside commission should be applied to river and harbor legislafinn. At present a river and harbor hill. like a tariff bill, tends to be settled by a squabble among n lot of big, selfish Interests and little selfish interests, with scant regard to the one 'really vital Interest, thnt of the general pub lic. In this matter the National Legis lature would do well to profit by the example of Massachusetts. Formerly Massachusetts dealt with its land nnd harbor legislation Just as at Washing Ion tnriff and river nnd harbor laws have been dealt with, and there was Just the same pulling and hnuling, the same bargaining and log-rolling, the same subordination of the genernl in terest to various special Interests. Jjtjtt year (lovernor liraper took up the matter, and on his recommenda tion the legislature turned the whole business over to a commission of ex perts, and all trouble and scandal forthwith disappeared. Incidentally, this seem lo me to he a tlrst-cless Instance of progressive legislation." Four hundred persons attended n dinner given to Colonel Roosevelt tonight.

Just before Colonel Roosevelt fin ished his speech a man who was stand ing In the midst of the dense throng In the tent fnlnted. Colonel Roosevelt stopped his speech In the middle of n sentence. lie took the situa Hon In hand at once. "Keep jour seats, all- of you." he called out. "Wring the man here to the platform." . The people obeyed and several men pushed their way a bit nearer to the platform, carrying the sick man. "Throw some water on him." said Colonel Roosevelt, picking up the pitcher ' on the pi.-'form. "He won't like it. but it will do him good." Just as the man was lifted to the platform several persons crawled upon it to escape the rush. Colonel Roose velt again warned the people to rema'n seated. In a few minutes quiet was re stored and the Colonel resumed bis speech. . Seated on the platform with Colonel Roosevelt were Governor Vessey, of South Dakota; Senator Cnmble. Judge John E.

"Ttirre is another feoturi; of the tar iff law which is admirable nnd points our course in the right direction, the minimum hikI minimum provision. And hero again I wish to point out that the value provision has depended largely- up on the excellent work done by the Admin istration in tins negotiations with for eign powers for Its application, especially the negotiations with the Dominion of Canada, wheh were the most difficult of oil, and yet in my eyes the most import ant because I esteem it of vital con sequence that we should alwnys be on relations of the highest friendship and good will with our great and growing neighbor of the North. "In addition, it was of very real Im portance to provide, as the present tar iff does provide, for the proper treatment of the Philippines. "I believe In such a tariff measure of protection as will equalize the cost of production here and abroad, that will equalise tho labor cost. I believe in such supervision in the working of the law as to make certain that the pro tected industry gives that difference to the men we ure most anxious to pro tect the laboring men nnd if I find it Is not given. I would take off the tariff duty on the particular thing. "I believe In protection on that basis as a principle, but when it is a mere Jumble of preferences and privileges, than I am against It." Two Kiiilrouds Criticised. Colonel Roosevelt criticised the financial methods of two railroads which he did not name. "Two great railroads are now at work on a piece of construction work, where I have no question that the etock is being honestly provided for, and represents honest work." he tald. "But under the prc-ient sytsem I have reason to believe a great mass of bonds will be'lFsued which will reprei..nt in effect a bonus to certain big men who ought to have 'something for what they hove dore, but who ought not to have anything like what they will get. "Under the laws at present we cannot stop It and instead of denouncing the big men for" what they have a legal right to do, the wise thing in to give us a power to prevent the recurrence of uch an abuse.

INJUNCTION IS DEMANDED Contention Thnt Concern. Will For feit Valuable Kight of Action Is Mado Boycott Damage Fixed at $750,000. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3. C. W. Post, of Battle Creek. Mich., filed suit today In the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Missouri against the American Federation of Labor and the Buck Stove & Range Company, of St. Louis, to restrain the officers of the company from carrying out an al leged tentative agreement with officers of the former to make the St. Louis institution a closed shop. The case Is a suit In equity and Includes among the defendants Samuel Gompers, president; John Mitchell, vice-president; Frank Morrison, secretary, and other of ficers of the Federation, and some 50 others prominently identified with union lubor In America. The injunction feature of the enilt will be heard by Judge Smith McPherson in chambers at Red Oak, Ia.t Monday morn ing. Post Sues as Stockholder. The action grows out of the meeting in POST SUING UNION Jib .Y. HERE TO GET THE BEST. STREET Cincinnati July 19. at which arrangements were perfected between Gompem and his associates and tiie officers of the stove company to have lifted the boycott which had been in force during the life of J. W. Van Cleave, who died May 15 of this year. The complainant, Pcot, states in his peti tion that he is a stockholder of the Buck Stove Cxynpany, and that his interests and those of the company will suffer by reason of the proposed agreement. A meeting between the American Fed eration leaders and the stove company officers has been set for next Tuesday, and it was to head off possible action that the suit was filed today. It is asserted among other things that tho consummation . of the prior agree ment would deprive the stove company of any opportunity of recovering hundreds of thousands of dollars lost because- of the union boycott, and that irreparable injury to tho concern will result because of the destruction of the prestige it gained through it victory over the labor unions in the District of Columbia courts. Sherman Act Invoked. A claim for damages In the sum of $700,000, alleged suffered as the result of the boycott, is set up under the Sherman act, making the case similar to the fam ous Danbury hat suit, in which the hat ters recovered $224,000 as the result of a bo'cott by the labor unions.
