Altack on Democrats for Broken
Pledges Itenewed in Reviewing
Failure to Maintain Constitu
tional Rights of Citizens.
!
BUFFALO. N. T.. Sept. 30. Charles
13. Hughies, in speeches at Jamestown
late todiky and here tonight, assailed
the Administration for its attitude to
ward the! development of American
business febroad. Mr. Hughes cited the
failure on American bankers to obtain
. government support of their plan to
' J?!!' n tne Proposed six-power
" Toan t" ClBina" and the Administration's
Mexican iRoHcy, in support of his at-
"It is saiu'l by the Administration that
they desirel to open the door for Ameri
can enterl'rise." Mr. Hughes said.
"What is tl'e inducement for our mer
chants and 1 business men to go to for
eign countries and engage in American
enterprises 1 i f they and their invest
ments are tlreated as our citizens and
their property were permitted to be
treated in Mexico?"
Lost opportunity Shown.
Proposed ilarticipation by American
bankers in tlle loan to China was char
acterized by IMr. Hughes as "a matter
of great moment in the nation, because
it permitted Kin opportunity not only
to aid
ChlhaY
but to facilitate our
trade."
"We lost
important; opportunity
rade," Mr. Hughes said,
more recently the Ad-
for American
"I believe tthat
ministration hti
s seen the error that it
committed in
his respect, but it has
failed to re-establish confidence with
regard to Its jproiecnon or American
enterprise." I
Mr. Hughes' assertions were inter
. preted by persons in his audiences as
being in the nature of a reply to Presi
dent Wilson's recent declarations at
Shadow Lawn, and before a grain deal
ers" convention at Baltimore, outlining
the Administration's views toward the
' future development of American trade
abroad.
Pledges Broken, la Charge.
Mr. Hughes rer.lwed his attack on
the Administration for "broken
pledges." I
"They told us." he said, "that they
were going to maintain the constitu
tional rights of American citizens
throughout the world. That they have
failed to do to our great regret.
"Our opponents have a great deal to
say now. as they have said in times
past, with regard to the facilities for
American enterprise 'and the principles
of American trade. These are matters
of the highest importance to all our
people and we inquirfe to test the pro
- fessions and promised that are given
with respect to the reclprd that has been
made in the past. j
' "Take, for example, tile matter' of the
six-power loan to Chinti There was an
'"opportunity obtained I by which our
bankers could share the extent of
one-sixth in this pre.losed loan. It
was a matter of great Imoment to the
Nation because it permitted an oppor
tunity not only to aidl China but to
facilitate our trade. It lwas important
to the Nation that we Whould have a
fair relation to the advantage of trade
with China in the future
Confidence Remain' Shaken,
"But when the present Administra
tion came into power and these bank
ers asked whether they wbuld have the
co-operation and protection of the Ad
ministration, they were informed in
-effect that the Administration did mot
desire them to continue.
"I believe that more, recently the Ad
ministration has seen the erroV that it
committed In that respect, but it has
failed to re-establish confidence with
regard to its protection of American en
terprises. "We hear a .good deal with regard to
our relations to Latin-America. Those
relations are of the utmost importance;
they should be basqd on mutual confi
dence and esteem and i everything
should be done to bring us into any in
timate exchange of benefits. But what
was the action of the Administration
with respect to Latin-America? It
withdrew man after man frdm the na
tions in Latin-America who was a
trained diplomat to supply places and
meet the demands of partisan expedi
ency, i
'.'We cannot afford in the 'future to
have men of second or third'jOr fourth
rate take the place of men who ai
. known to have given many 1 years to
faithful diplomatic intercourse and
have acquired experience and training
of the greatest value to this; country.
Mexican Question Held Serious.
"There is a serious side to the Mex
ican matter. I am looking at it for the
moment in connection with those prom
ises relating to the expansion, and de
velopment of American trade. We have
heard criticised those who had
taken advantage of opportunities and
made investments in Mexico, but I have
not discovered that any line was drawn
between the innocent and these who
were not permitted to be innocent in
permitting our citizens to be left to the
ravages of revolution and perhaps to be
destroyed.
"If any have forfeited their, rights
under international law, let them be
singled out and dealt with. But I
stand here to assert that American
trade will not be maintained according
. to the ambitions and Just aspirations of
our people, and we shall not stand be
fore the world as we should with in
ternational esteem and the confidence
of the Nation unless we protect at all
events American lives, American prop
erty and American commerce through
out the world.
Santo Domingo Scandal Aired.
"We have an opportunity to test the
promises that are made with respect
to the development of American trade
and the opportunities of American en
terprise by the failures of the policies
and the regrettable mistakes that we
have observed in connection with the
Administration."
Mr. Hughes again cited Se.nto Do
mingo as a country to which the
Administration had sent men without
experient-e to replace "experts under
Tlepublican administration" to admin
ister an American trust.
"hTe result was we had a scandal,"
Mr. Hughes said, "and a man who was
utterly unfit, who had been sent there
as Minister, was superseded by an
other." j

a little bit ashamed of myself that I
should have expected it, for I should
have known better.
History of Party Lauded.
"There is a fact running through all
our political history of which I ought
to have reminded myself. The Demo
cratic party, my fellow citizens, is the
enly party whose life has persisted
and whose vigor has continued
throughout all the history of this Na
t.on, and that has not happened by
accident. It, has happened because it
ii the only party, I venture to say, all
o whose life has been governed or at
any rate inspired by a definite prin
ciple an absolute belief in the con
trill of the people, their right to con
trol, their capacity to control their own
afiairs and shape them in the common
interest.
'The Democratic party has committed
many errors, the Democratic party has
made some fatal mistakes of action,
but the reason it has lived, the reason
it is the only party that has apparent
immortality In our politics, is that it
is the only party that has consistently
based its benefits upon the things and
the convictions that underlie all Amer
ican history the belief in the govern
ment of the people by the people them
selves and their own representatives.
"It has witnessed the life and death
of two great parties, and unless I am
very much mistaken, it will witness the
early disappearance of another. It wit
nessed the life and disappearance of
the Federalist party. It witnessed the
life, the increase, the demoralization,
the decline and the disappearance of the
Whig party.
Kepnblican Party Assailed.
"And then there appeared upon the
scene the Republican party, first of all
organized for a great and difficult pur
pose; to prevent the spread of the in
stitution of slavery into the free por
tions of the United States. That object
they greatly accomplished. And then
there seemed to descend upon them the
spirit of the Federalist and the Whig
parties and ever since then the increas
ing demoralization of that party has
been evident.
"The spirit of these partfes was one
of limited control of the affairs of the
Nation by "those who had the biggest
material stake in the prosperity of the
country.. Some of them professed this
very openly and some of them prac
ticed It without professing it. The
theory of Alexander Hamilton, who
founded the Federalist party, was that
the best kind of government is govern
ment by guardians and trustees and
that only those who represented the
great material enterprises of the coun
try are capable of acting as trustees
and guardians. So that throughout
the period when the Federalist party
was in control, the whole idea was that
a. small group of carefully planning
men should govern opinion and. con
trol administrative action in the
United States.
"The Whig party, when it arose, had
a somewhat more liberal conception,
but before it had lasted very long, it
acted upon "exactly the same principle
that the great body of th, people is
not capable of doing its ownthinking,
and the Republican party has inherited
that idea; not the idea of government
by the people, but of government for
the people and control of the people
by those who govern it.
Rule by Attorneys Arraigned.
z"It was a foregone conclusion that
parties that held such principles could
not live in America. The only reason
they existed for a short time was that
they did rally to their support some of
the fine, planning, enterprising minds
of the country, and that, so long as
those men had the conscience of pub
lic service, great things were conceived
and great things were done; but just so
soon as they put in possession of the
Government men who were attorneys
of special interests, the decadence of
the party inevitably ensued.
"The Republican party as now con
stituted and led believes in govern
ment by the attorneys of special inter
ests. They are perfectly willing that
the attorneys of the people should ap
pear before them and plead for the
rights of the people, but they are not
willing that the counsels which deter
mine action shall be participated in by
the attorneys of the people.
"'One of the things that they are
most constantly talking about is the
protective tariff and there was a time
when a very wide taking of counsel en
tered into the formation of our tariffs,
but not toward the end. Then a small
group of selected counsellors also de
termined what the items of the tariff
should be. The only persons' beard
WILSOX . SPEAKING AT SHADOW
were the attorneys for the special in
terests and the attorneys of the people
could batter - at the doors as they
pleased and never get a hearing.
Birth of Progressives Recited.
' "The end of such a party was fore
doomed and now the. party that be
lieves In the people and tries to do
things for the people has been in
power for four years. And what has
happened? It has redeemed eome of
the promises falsely made by the at
torneys of the special interests and it
has done something more interesting
than that. Your remember that four
years ago there was a great body uf
spirited Republicans who said:
" 'This thing is becoming a fraud and
a sham. ' We have been taking care
of some people but we have not been
taking care of the great body of the
people. We have not thought about
their morals?' we have not thought
about thei health; we have not
thought about their rights as human
beings, and we insist that you put the
policy of this party in our hands or
we will go off and form a party of
our own.'
"And thereupon the great Progressive
party sprung up great, not because it
turned out to be more numerous than
the party from which it had seceded,
though it did that, but because it had
the real blood of human sympathy in
its veins and was ready to work for
mankind and forget the interests of a
narrow party. I want to pay my trib
ute to the purposes and intentions of
the men who formed that group in oui
politics.
Reaction Ik Criticised.
"But the interesting thing is that,
inasmuch as they did not get the op
portunity, we took advantage of our
opportunity to do the things that they
wanted to do. And I want you young
fellows to understand the reason for
that. There are standpatters in the
Democratic party. There are men sit
ting down hard on the breeching strap.
There are men who are trying to hold
back and to serve what they believe
to be conservatism, though it is really
reaction. But the interesting thing
about the Democratic party is that
those men are in a small majority in
ita ranks, whereas in the party of the
opposition, they are in a majority and
are in control.
"The interesting thing for all poli
ticians to remember is that the Pro
gressive voters of this country, all put
together, outnumber either party. I
venture to say they outnumber both
parties together. This country is pro
gressive and if you youngsters are
going to be in the running you will
throw in your fortunes with the party
of which the progressives have the con
trol. "I am a progressive. I do not spell
it with a capital P, but I think my pace
is just as fast as those who do it. It
does not interfere with the running
and I am very much astonished to see
the company that eome gentlemen who
spell their name with a capital are
keeping. They are engaged in the in
teresting enterprise of trying to cap
ture a party which is fortified against
them and refusing to enter a party
which is already captured by those
who believe in their principles. The in
tellectual processes by which they ar
rive at their conclusions are entirely
obscured to my intelligence.
"But you will notice that a party that
merely wants control does not have, to
have any principles. That is the rea
son wny surprise that a programme
has not been announced is unreason
able. Look over the ranks of the sup
porters of the Republican party. Did
you ever see a more motley company in
your life? Did you ever see elements
so absolutely contradictory of. each
other as the elements of the party? If
they moved in any direction, they would
have to move in many directions; and
if I am trying to get in power by the
support of people that do not agree
with one another it is very dangerous
for me to profess my own opinion.
Suspicion Is Noticed.
"Back of the party are those who
want to inject those policies in order
to move in one direction and others
want to inject them in order to move
in exactly the opposite direction. Un
der these circumstances it is not wise
to announce your direction. Some of
them are Progressives, or were, and
profess themselves dissatisfied with the
present leadership and guidance of the
party, and others are so well satisfied
with It that they are afraid that the
entrance of this new element will dis
turb some of their favorite plans, and
so. looking at each other with suspi
cion, they have only one enthusiasm
and that is the enthusiasm to 'get in.'
I see in my mind's eye this great mot
ley company enthusiastically united in
a great drive for possession.
"One thing has become evident, not
because it was explicitly stated, for
nothing has been explicitly stated, but
because it is unmistakably implicit in
almost everything that has been said.
Am I not right that we must draw the
conclusion that if the Republican party
is put into power at the next election
our foreign policy will be radically
changed? I cannot draw any other in
ference. All our present foreign policy
is wrong, they say, and if it is wrong
and they are men of conscience, they
must change it, and if they are going to
change it, in what direction arc they
going to change it?
War Said to Be Sure.
"There is only one choice as against
peace, and that is war. Some of the
supporters of that party, a very great
body of the supporters of that party
outspokenly declare that they want
war, so that the certain prospect of suc
cess of the Republican party is that we
shall be drawn in one form or other
into the embroilments of the European
war, and that south of us the force of
the United States will be used to pro
duce in Mexico the kind Ot law and

counsel is taken In respect of the policy
that this country should pursue with
regard to Mexico, except those who
have hitherto acted as the counsellors
for the vested- interests in Mexico. The
whole country is acquainted with the
gentlemen who have been consulted.
There is no concealment even by them
selves, whose- attorneys they are. They
have talked to me. I know exactly
what they want. I have declined to
give it to them and now they are going
where they think they can get it. And
thsre is every indication that their cal
culation is well-founded.
Currency Bill Taken I'p.
"Of the many things that the Re
publicans promised and never did was
to reform the currency system. They
did what they have always done In such
circumstances. They had a thorough
inquiry and report made without any
purpose of following 4t.
"The report was made after long and
expensive inquiry and much interesting
travel by a committee presided over by
the late Senator Aldrich. and that re
port is a very valuable document. tt
is full of a great deal of useful in
formation, along with a great deal of
useless Information. And when we
came to do this thing that ought to
have been done long ago, but which it
was impossible- for the Republican
party to do., we found that we could
take the skeleton-of what we wanted
from the Aldrich report, but that we
could not take the heart out of it. 'We
so absolutely altered the heart that
Senatoc Aldrich himself denounced the
thing that we produced.
"The hand is the hand of Esau, but
the heart is the heart of Jacob, and
that heart is the heart of the Demo
cratic party, the control by representa
tives of the people for the things that
concern the whole people.
"There was universal hostility among
bankers to the adoption of the present
system, and all of that opposition had
its impulse from that central group,
which knew that they were going to
lose their grip on the Treasury of the
United States.
Wall Street Is Grilled.
"They are perfectly content to take
over the Federal Trade Commission,
provided they can select the Commis
sioners and suggest whom they shall
consult. They are perfectly willinsr to
have a tariff board provided they can
determine beforehand what its con
clusions are going to be by determining
the quality and antecedents of the men
who compose it.
"For example. ' if you want certain
things to happen, select the most im

may have as good character as any man
who ever lived, but his training is go
ing to determine everything that he
sees. Tou do not have to do these
things corruptly; you only have to do
them astutely.
"Similarly thev would be perfectly
willing to control the board which is
to govern the rural credit system. They
would be perfectly content to appoint
the boar,! that is to control the devel
opment of the merchant marine and the
regulation of marine charges in the
carriage of freight on high seas. The
only thing that makes them uneasy is
that Democrats should be running these
things. ;
'They used to be able to do a great
deal in the way of legislation by means
of a lobby. And the lobby, thank God,
has. disapprared. I do not mean the
legitimate lobby, the lobby that will go
to the hearings of committees and
argue their case In public with the re
