Changes When Necessity Demands. "Vet on tho other hand, where the Industrial conditions So frequently change. nB with us must of necessity be the cane, it Is n innttor of prime Importance that we should bo able from time to time to adapt our eco nomic policy to tho changed condi tions. Our aim should bo to presorvo tho policy of h protectlvo tariff, fn which tho nation as a whole has ac quiesced, and yet whorever and when ever necessary to ehnngo tho duties In particulars paragraphs and sched ules ns matters of loglslntlvo detail, If such ehnngo Is demanded by the In terests of tho nntlon as a whole. In making nny readjustment there nro certain lmportnntonsldorntlons which cannot bo disregarded. If a snld In part: "Thoro has novor been In my recol lection nu attempt to amend tho pro- zenslilp and permit It to work out Its turbnnco nnd perhaps paralysis In tho this high average of Individual cltl.nmU,nB changes to risk causing dls- tectlvo tariff law that has not been own salvation under proper economic met beforo the work was accom- legislation. pllshed by tho wollnlgh unlvorsnl de- stable Tariff Demanded. mand to 'let It alone' Hven those who . ., ... . . , . , ,,..,,. , . , T,'e present phenomenal piosporl- havo cried the loudest ngn list Its lm .. , , , , , , , ,. r , ; ty has been beon won under n tariff porfectlons linvo recognized, pending,,..., . . , ...

"Tho Republican party Is always (Willing and ever ready to amend, to revise, and to adjust tariff schedules to changed conditions whonuvor tho benefits to bo derived from tho change will justify tho Inovltnblo cheek to In dustrial enterprises Incident to months of agitation. Hut If congress woro to rovlso1 tariff schedule when ever defect enn be found there would bo scant tlmo for any other legisla tion. No party hns ever succeeded In rovlslng single schedule. Whenever tho work Is undertaken the entire tar iff law has to bo readjusted, nnd with final results that no man ilaro to pro k llct. ' Goes Into Effect Slowly. "After the enactment of the Dlngloy hill on i' Democratic friends tried to mnko sport of us becniiHO the effects were not noticeable Instuutor. It took somo time to ndjust conditions to tlm new law. unil li will also tnko time to counteract attempts that nro HometlmoM made to thwart the nat ural operation of the law. lint tho fact rttmuliiK that there Is no Indus try, no class of num. no Interest Hint Is not more prosperous, more thriving, more hopeful and inoro sure of suc cess than ever before In the history of our country. "This remedy seems to mo ad dressed to those who mo suppoeed to, ho shortsighted, wither than those who nro tible to see tho end from the beginning- For whntover retires n monopolistic corporation from the certain fixed and definite principles, the most Important of which Is nn avowed determination to protect tho Interosts of tho Atnorlcan producer, buslnoss man, wngo-workor and fnrm or alike. The goneral tariff policy, to which, without rogard to changes In detail, I hollovo this country Is Ir revocably committed. Is fundamental ly bnsod upon ample recognition of tho difference bgtwvun tho cost of production that Is, tho cost of labor here and nbroad. and of the need toi see to It that our laws shall In no event nffftrd advantage In our own own mnikets to foreign Industries, to foreign capital over American capital, to forolgp labor over our own Inbor. This country has. nnd this country needs hotter paid, better educated, bettor fed and better clothed work moil, of a higher typo, tlinn are to be he found In any foreign country. It hns and It needs n higher, more vig orous nnd mmo prosperous type of tillers of the soil tlinn Is possessed by uny other country. Tho business mn. the merchants nnd mnmifactur era, nnd the maiingere of tho trans portation inlorests show the snmo superiority when compared with men of tholr typo nbroad. The events of the Inst few ytmrs havo shown how skillfully the lenders of American In dustry use In International buslnoss competition the mighty Industrial weapons forged for them by the re sources of our country, the wisdom of our laws, nnd tho skill, tho Inventive gonitis nnd the administrative capac ity of our people. Stability Is All Important. It Is, of course, a mere truism to- field mid Invltte foreign competition say that we wnnt to use everything to supply Km place not only renders. In our ower to foster the welfare of capital nonproductive, hut. what Is lour entire body politic. In other vastly wnrs It turns all laborers em ployed In the Industry Into the street and their families begging bread. A wise measuio of control Is preferable to nny measure of destruction." Roosevelt on Tariff. At Minneapolis he said: "We aie words, wo need to treat the tariff as a business proposition from the stand point of tho Interosts of the country ns a whole, nnd not with reference to the temporary needs of nny political party. It Is almost as necessary that our H)llcy should be stable as that it now In n condition of prosperity uu- should ho wise. A nation like ours paralleled not ineiely In our own his-J could not long stand the ruinous pol io ry but in tho history of nny othur loy of readjusting Its business to rndl nnillon. This prosperity Is deep J cat changes In tho tariff at short In rooted nnd stands on a Ann bnsls, jtorvals. especially when, ns now. because It Is duo to the fact that the owing to the Immense extent nnd var avurugo American has In hi in the stuff lety of our products, the tariff Belied out of which victors nro made In the ules carry rates of duty on thousands great Industrial contests of the pros-j of different article. Sweeping and out day. Just as In the great military i violent changes In such a tariff, contests of the past, nnd because ho touching so vitally the Interosts of Is now able to use and develop his all of us. embracing agriculture, qualities to best advantage under our Inlmr. manufacturers and commerce, well established economic system. ' would be disastrous In any event. Wo nre winning headship among tho nnd they would ho fatal to our present nations of the world because our p- well being If approached on tho Industries nnd business of the coun try. The fact that the chango In a given rate of duty may be thought de sirable does not settle tho question whether It Is advisable to mnko the change Immediately.- Every tariff deals with duties on thntisands of ar ticles arranged In hundreds of para graphs and In many schedules. These duties affect a .vast number of Inter ests which nro often cnnlllctlng. If necessary for our welfare, then of course congress must consider the quostlon of changing the law as a whole or changing nny given rates of duty, but we must rcmombor that whenever ovon n single schedulo Is Considered somo Interest will appear to demnnd n change In almost every schedule In the lnw; nnd when It comes to upsetting the schedules gen erally the effect upon the business Interests of the country would he ruinous. Tariff Revision and Trusts. One point we must stendly keep In mind. Tho quostlon of tariff revision, speaking broadly, stands wholly npnrt from the quostlon of dealing with the trusts. No I'hnnge In tnt'lff duties can have nny substantial effect In solving the socnlled trust problem. Cortnln great ti lists or grent corporations nro wholly unaffected by the tariff. Prac tically all the others that ate of any luipnrtnnce have, ns a innttor ot fact, numbeis of smnllor American compet itors; nnd of course n change In tho tariff which would work Injury to tho large corporation would work not merely Injury but destruction to Its smaller competiter: nnd equally of course such n change would menu dis aster to all the wngo workers con nected with either tho largo or tho smnll corporations. From tho stand point of those Interested In the solu tion of the trust problem such n change would' therefore merely moan that the trust was rellovod of the com petition of Its wenkor American com petitors, mid thrown only Into compe tition with foreign competitors; nnd that the first offnit to meet this new competition would ho made by cut ting down wages, and would therefore ho primarily at the cost of labor. In the case of somo of our greatest trusts such n change might confer upon them n positive benefit. Speak ing broadly. It Is ovldont that the changes In tho tariff will affect tho trusts for wool or for woe simply as they affect the wholo .country The tariff affects trusts only ns It affects all other Interests. It mnko all those Interests, largo or small, profltnblo; nnd Its bonoflt can bo taken from the large only under ponnlty of taking them from tho small also. A Business Proposition, '' "To sum up. then, we must as a people approach a matter of suoh prime economic Importance as tho tariff from the standpoint of our bust. the fact that as tho needs of tho coun try change It .may bo necessary to meet those now needs by changing certain features of our tariff laws. 3tlll less can wo afford to fall to rec ognize the further fact that these changes must not bo made until tho need for them outweighs tho dlsnd vnntngos which may result; and when It becomes necessary to make them they should be made with full recogni tion of tho need of stability In our ec onomic system which hns now become a sottlod policy In our nntlonal life Wo hnve prosporcd mnrvelously nt home. As n nntlon we stnnd In tho very forefront In the giant Interna tlonnl Industrial competition of tin day Wo ennnot afford by any fcnk or folly to forfolt tho position to which wo havo thus triumphantly nt tnlned.

WHAT HE SAID THEN LAY IN THE REALM OF PROMISE. NOW IT LIES IN THE REALM OF POSI- TIVE PERFORMANCE. It Is a good thing to look back upon what has been said nnd compnro It with the record of whnt has actunlly been done. If promises are violated, If plighted word Is not kept, then those who have fniled In tholr duty should be held up to reprobation. If, on the other hniid. tho promises havo been substantially mnde good; If tho achievement hns kept pneo nnd moro than kept pneo with the prophesy, then they who mnde tho one nnd nro responsible for the other nre ontltlcd of Just right to claim the credit which nitaches to those who servo tho na- I Hon well. This credit I clnlm far tho men who havo mannged no admirably the military nnd the military affnlrs of tho Philippine Islands, nnd for those other men who havo so heartily backed them in Congress, nnd without who aid and support not one thing could have beon accomplished. When President McKlnley spoko. the first duty was the restoration of erder: and to this end tho use of tho Army of the United State an Army composed of regulars and volunteers nllke wns uecossary. It Was a Solemn Duty. To put down tho Insurrection nnd restore peaco to the Islands wns n duty not only to nursolvos but to tho Islnnders also We could not havo abandoned the conflict without shirk ing this duty, without proving our- selvse recreants to tho memory of our forefathers. Moreover. If we hnl abandoned It we would have Inflicted upon the Filipinos the most cruel wrong nnd would have doomed them to a blixly Jumble of nnaichy and tyranny. It seems strange, looking bnck. that any of our peoplo Hhoiild have failed to recognise a duty so ob eb ob veous: but thoro was suoh failure, and the Government lit homo, tho civil authorities In tho Philippines, nnd above nil our gallant Army, had to do their work amid n storm ot detrac tion. The A nny In iwpeolar was at tacked In a way which flnaly did good, for In the end It aroused the hearty rosontment of the gront body of tho American people, not ngalnst the Army, but against the Army's tra dueers. The circumstances of tho wnr made It one of peculiar difficulty, and our soldiers woro exposed to pe culiar wrongs from tholr foes. They fought In dense tropical Jungles against enemies who wore very treacherous and very cniel. not only toward our own men. hut toward tho groat numbers of friendly natives, the most peaceable and roost clvilUed among whom eagerly welcomod our rule. Intolerable Provocation, Under such clrcumstanres. among a hundred thousand hot-blooded and powerful young men serving In small detachments on the other sldo of tho globe. It Is Impossible that instances ot wrong doing should not occur. Tho fact that they occurred In retaliation for well-nigh Intolerable provocation can not for one moment bo admitted In the utrof excuse or Justification. AH good Americans regret and de plore them and the War Department has taken every step In Its power to punish the offenders and to prevent or mlnlmiio tho chance ot repetition of the offense.
