"I cannot, air, complete the discharge of this most a re h bio duty without assurlnsc you of tho Illicit respect li which you are held, not only by those of your own political faith, but by your fellow citizens wnnout roara to pany of their admiration of your ability, manifested throughout your public service; of their knowledne of tho preparation which you will bring to the discharge of the high and difficult duties of president; of their belief lit your deep conviction of the equality of all roon before the law, and In the practical application of that principle by any administration or wnicn you may be the bead the rule by which every offlclRl act of Mr. Roosevelt president has been squared, which has won for him the confidence and respict of his countrymen throughout the land, and which ha brought to him at n',1 times their unquestioned and earnsst aunnort. It was hta universal applied tlon of this rule which caused ills party In national convention to pay him tin following- Just and splendid tribute of approval: '"His administration Is an epoch In American history. In no other period Ince the national sovereignty was won under Washington or preserved undsr IJnooln has there been such a mighty progress In those Ideals of government which make for Justice, equality and fair dealing among mert. The highest aspirations of the American people nave found voice. Their most exalted servant represents the best alms and worthiest purposes of all his countrymen. Ameri can manhood has been lifted up to a nobler sense of duty and obligation. Conscience and courage In publlo sta tion and high standards of right and wrong In private life have been tne cardinal principles of political life. Capital and labor have been brought Into closer relations of confidence aui Interdependence, and the abuse of wealth and the tyranny of power and all evils I and privileged favoritism have oeen put to soorn by the simple and manly vir tues of Justice and fair play.' Taft a Fart of Tils History. "It Is gratifying to your countrymen to reflect that of that administration you have been a conspicuous part, ns you were of the administration of Mr. MeKlnley, whose accomplishments mnr-U a national progress unsurpassed In all of our previous national life. "j, therefore gives me genuine pleai- Mr. Taft. to present to you this the Interstate Commerce Commission. It la agreeable to not that the Reuub- llcan platform expressly, and the Democratic pint form Impliedly, ap proved an amendment of the Interstate commerce law, by which lnterstnte rail road may make useful traffic agree rnents if approved by the commlaslon. Borne suggestions of the Democratic pinirorm relate really to this subordl nate and ancillary 'physical valuation of railways.' It Is clear that the aum of all the rates or receipts of the-rall- roau, less proper expenses, snouia oe limited to a fair profit upon a reason able valuation of their property and If the sum exceeds this measure it ought to be reduced. Vain of Properties. "The difficulty of enforcing the prin ciple is In ascVtalnlng what Is a rea sonable value of n mmnanv'i nronertv and fixing what Is a fair profit. It Is clear that the physical valuation of a railroad Is an element to be given weight In determining -Its full valua tion. As President Roosevelt and the supreme court In effect DOlnted out. the value of a railroad may be much greater than the value of Its tangible property. There, too, the question of what Is a fair profit is one involving not only the rate of interest usually earned on normally safe Investments, but also a sufficient allowance to make 1 n re. formal nomination from the Republican Farty, whose governmental policies have or so long 'kept In balance the mighty forces of the nation' nnd to whose con tinued guidance of the nation we have every reasonable right to believe that the people are now looking." Mr. Taft after receiving a great ova tion arose and In tirm voice delivered his address. He said: "Senator Warner and gentlemen of the committee: 1 am deeply sensible "of the honor which the Republican N.v ,'ttonal convention conferred upon mo Jn the nomination which you formally tender. I accept It with the full ap preciation of the responsibility It Im poses. ,- "Gentlemen, the strength of the Re publican cause in the campaign at hand Is In the fact that we represent poli cies essejitlal to the reform of known abuses, the continuance of liberty and to prosperity and that wo aro de termined to maintain them and carry them on. "For more than 10 years this coun try has passed through an epoch of ma terial development far beyond any that lias ever occurred In the world before. Tn its course certain evils have crept In. Some nromlnent and influential memms of the community, spurred by financial success nnd In a hurry for creater wealth, became unmindful of the common rule of business honesty onrl ffrlclllv end tho limitations 1m posed by law upon their actions. This became known. Revelations of breaches of trust, disclosures as to rebates and discriminations by railways, accumu lating evidence of tho violation of the anti-trust law by a number of corpor ations, tie overissue of stocks and bonds on Interstate railways for the unlawful enriching at .directors and for the purpose of concentrating the controls of railroads In one manage ment, all quickened the conscience of the people and brought on a moral awakening among them that boded well for the future of the country. Praise Tor Roosevelt. "The man who formulated the ex pression of the popular conscience and, who led the movement for practical reform was President Roosevelt. He laid down the doctrine that the rich i violator of the law should be ns amcn nble to restraint and punishment as the offender without wealth and with out Influence and h proceeded, by re commending legislation and directing executive action, to make that principle good in actual performance. "We should be blind to the ordinary working of human nature, If we did not recognlie that the moral standard set toy President Roosevelt will not con tinue to be observed by those whom cupidity and desire for financial power may tempt, unless requisite machinery la Introduced into the law, which shall maintain these standards and secure them. The chief function of the next administration Is to complete and per fect machinery by which these stand ards ma be maintained. Work of Interstate. "Under the present rate hill the burden of the Interstate Commerce Commission is so heavy tnat It Is im possible for that tribunal to hear and dispose of. In any reasonable time, the many complaints, queries and Issues brought before It. It ought to be re lieved of its Jurisdiction as an execu tive directing body and Its functions should be limited to quasi-Judicial in vestigation of complaints. There should be a classification of that very small percentage of Industrial corpor ations having tne power and opportun ity to effect illegal restraints of trade and monopolies, and there should be legislation either Inducing or compell ing them to subject themselves to reg istry and the proper publication of reg ulations and supervision by the depart ment of commerce. "The field covered by industrial com binations and railroads Is so vrry ex tensive that the interests of the pub lic and the business concerned cannot be properly subserved except by the re organization of bureaus In the depart ments of commerce agriculture and Jus tice and a change In the Jurisdiction of ud for the risk or loss both of capita and Interest In the original outlay. These considerations will have Justl fled a company in Imposing charges high enough to secure a fair Income On the cntemrise as a whole. Securities at market Drices will have passed Into the hands of subse- auent Durchnsers from the original in vestor. Huch circumstances wouia properly affect the decision of a trib unal engaged in determining whether the totality of rates rharired Is reason able or excessive. The question of rates and the treatment of railways Is one that has two sides. The snippers certainly are entitled to reasonable rates but less is an Injustice to the carriers. From what has been said, a proper conclusion would seem to be. Xhat in attempting to determine whether the entire schedule of rates of a railway Ik excessive, tho nhvslcal valuation of the rond Is relevant and Important, but not necessarily tne controlling factor Market Unaffected. "I arn confident the fixing of rates on the principles suggested above wonld not materially Impair tho pres- nt market values of railroad securities n most cases, for I believe the normal ncrease In the value of railroad proper ties, ewpeclally in their terminals, will more than make up for possible over capitalization In earlier years. In some cases, doubtless, capitaliza tion Is made the excuse for excessive rates, and they should be reduced, but tho concensus of opinion seems to ho that rates in this country are reason ably low. 1 Jiave discussed this with some de gree tjif detail, merely to point out that valuation by the Interstate Commerce Commission of the tangible property of a railroad Is proper, and may, from time to time, be necessary In the set tling of certain Issues, which may come up before them, and that no evil or In justice can come from valuation in such cases if it be understood the re sult Is to be used for a Jusfc purpose. and the right to a fair profit under all circumstances of Investment In. the railroad be recognized. "Tho Republican platform recom mends legislation forbidding Issue in tho future of interstate stocks and bonds without federal authority. It may occur In suoh canes that the full value of a railway, and as an element thereof the valuo of the tangible prop erty of the railway, would oe a rele vant and Important factor In assisting tho proper authority to determine whether the stocks and bonds to be Is sued were to have proper security be hind them nnd In such cases therefore thrp should be the right and machln ery to make a valuation of the physical property. Another Sutfg-estlon, "Another suggestion In respect to the subordinate and anclllany machinery necessary to carry out the Republican policies, Is that of the Incorporation under national law or the licensing oy a national license or the enforced reg istrv of companies encaged In Inter state trades. Nearly all corporation doing commercial business are engagea in Interstate commerce and If they were required to take out federal li censes or federal charters, the burden nnon thn Interstate business of the country would become Intolerable. Pos sibly the operation of the anti-trust law under existing rulings of the su preme court gives rise to suggestions for its necessary amendment to prevent lis application to such cases, which It is believed were never in the contempla tion of the framers of the statute TaWo. two instances: "A merchant or manufacturer engaged In legitimate business that covers cer tain states wishes to sell his business and good will and in tne terms or mo saie obligates himself' not to go into the same business in those states. Such a restraint of trade always has been en fnprftH at common law. . "Aeain the employes or an inter state railway enter upon a peacerui BiriUn tn secure better wages. At com mon law this is not restraint of trade or violation of the rights of the com pany or the public. "Neither case ought to be made a violation of the anti-trust law. The suggestion of the Democratic platform that trusts be ended by forbidding a corporation to hold more than 60 per cent of the plants In any line of man ufacture, is made without regard to possibility of enforcement or real evil or the fact that trusts or corporations controlling 45 or 60 per cent of the products may frequently effect monop oly and stamp out competition as com pletely as If they controlled 60 or 70 per cent. gale of Commodities. "Tho proposal to compel every eor- ltr there dame a financial stringency. panio and Industrial depression. Thla was brought about not only by th enormous expansion of business plant and business Investments, but also by the waste of capital, extravagance In living, wars and other catastrophes. Free convertible capital was exhausted. The) confidence of tho lending public In Europe and this country was affected by revelations of Irregularity, breaches of trust, over Issues of stock, violations of tho law und the lack of rigid state or national supervision in the manage nient of our largest corporations. Grad ually business Is acquiring a healthier tone. Gradually all the wealth that has been hoarded is coming out to bs used. I submit to those most Interested, the wage earners, the farmers and business men, whether tho Introduction Into power of the Democratic power with Bryan at Its head and with the business destruction that It openly advocates as a remedy for the present evils will bring noout tne needed confluence for the restoration of prosperity. Protective Tariff. "The Republican doctrine of Detec tion Is that the tariff shall he Imposed on all Imported products sufficiently to create an equal difference between the cost of production abroad and at home and that this difference should Include the difference between hlnher wages paid fn this country and the wages paid abroad and embrace a reasonable prom to the American producer. "The material development has great ly changed the conditions under which many articles described by the schedules of the Dlnglev tariff are now produced. Revision of the tariff begun promptly upon the Incoming of tho new adminis tration and considered at a special ses sion with the preliminary Investigations already begun by appropriate commit tees of the house and senate will make the disturbance of business Incident to such a change as little as possible. "We come now to the question of labor. One Important phase of the poli cies of the present administration has been anxiety to secure for the wage earner equality of opportunity and such positive statutory protection as shall place him on a level in dealing with his employer. "The Interests of the emploj-er and the employe never differ U comes to a division of the joint profit of labor and capital Into dividends and wages. To give employes tho proper position in such a pout rnvemv t, ar able them to maintain themselves Hainsi meir employers hivnr irpnt capital, they may well unite because In union there is strength and without it earh Individual laborer and employe would be helpless. The nromotfin nf Industrial peace through the Instru mentality of a trade agreement Is often one of the results of such n union when it is intelligently conducted. poratlon to sell commodities at the same price the country over, allowing for transportation. Is utterly impracticable. Protect Non-Union Labor. 'There Is a luitro bodv of latmram however, skilled and unskilled, Who do not organize Into'uniohs. Their rights before the law are exactly the same as those of union men and are to be pro tected with the same care and watchful ness. In order to Induce the emulover nto compliance with a remiest for changed terms of employment, workmen nave a rignt to strike in a bodv. Thev mve the right to use such npr.miaslnn as they may, provided, it does not reach the point of duress, to lead reluctant co laborers to Join them in the union against the employer and have the right if they chnoFe to accumulate funds to support those engaged in a strike, to delegate to officers the power to direct the action of tho union and- withdraw themselves and their associates from dealings with, or giving custom to those with whom they are in controversy. "What they have not thei right to do Is to Injure the employer's property, to injure the employer's business by the use of threats or methods of physical duress against those who would work for him or deal with him, or by carry ing on v, imi is sometimes Known as a secondary boycott against customers or those with whom he deals in busi ness, aii those who sympathize with them may unite to aid them in their struggle, but they may not through tho instrumentality of threatenedNor actual boycott compel third persons against their will, and having no Interest in the controversy, to come to their assist ance. Threatened unlawful injuries to business like those described above can only be adequately remedied by in junction to -prevent them. merchants and business men generally, that It must be automatic In opera tion, recognizing tho fluctuations Ui in terest rates,' In which every dollar shall be good as gold and which shall prevent rather than aid financial stringency In bringing about panics. "In addition tho Republican platform recommends the adoption of a postal savings bank system, In which, of course, the government would become responsible to the depositors for the payment of principal and interest. Wo Tax on Banks. "The Democratic platform recom mends a tax on national and state banks as may come In, in the nature of enforced insurance to raise the guar anty fund to pay depositors of any bank which falls. How state banks can be Included In' such a scheme is left tn the twilight zone of states' rights and federalism so frequently dimming the meaning and purpose of the platform. The proposition is to tax the honest, prudent banker to make up for the dishonesty and Im prudence of others. If the proposal were adopted exactly as the Democratic platform suggests It would bring the wnoie banning system or tne country down In ruins, and this proposal In It self Is an excellent Illustration of the fitness for national control of the party which will commit Itself to a scheme of this nature, without the slightest sense of responsibility for the practical operation of the law . pro posed. Islands Progressive. "The material prosperity of Porto Rico and the progress of Its Inhabitants toward better conditions should make every American proud that his nation has been the efficient Instrument of bringing happiness to a million people. In Cuba the provisional government has adminlsterad arralrfl. initiated necessary- laws and has made it possible to turn back the Island to lawfully elected offl cers of the republic February next. In the Philippines the experiment of the national assembly Justified Itself. We have created a comprehensive school system, have Induced the private con struclon of 800 miles of railroad and have policed the Islands so that the condition as to law and order Is better now than ever before In their history. It is quite unlikely that the people will be ready for complete sclf-governmnt and independence before two generations have passed, but the policy or Increasing the partial self-government should be continued. "The proposition of the Democratic platform is to turn over the island as soon as a stable government is estab lished.

"The chief difference between the Republican and Democratic platform is the difference which heretofore has hn seen between Roosevelt and Bryan, Roosevelt's policies progressive and regu lative and Hryan s policies oesirucuve. "The combination of capital In large plants to manufacture goods with the greatest economy is just as necessary as the assembling of parts of a ma chine to bring about economical and more rapid manufacture of what in old times was made bv hand. In the proper operation of competition the public will soon share with the manufacturer . the advantage of economy In operation and lower prices. When, however, such com binations not based on any economic principle but merely for the purpose of controlling the market maintain or raise prices, restrict the output or drive out competitors, the public derives no benefit and we have monopoly. Compe tition In profitable business cannot be affected by the mere aggregation of many existing plants under one com ranv. unless that company thereby off sets the great economy, the benefit oN whlrh It shares with the public or takes some illegal method to avoid com petition and perpetuate Its hold on the business.

"It has been claimed that Injunc tions do not issue to protect anything but property rights, and that business is not property rights, but such a proposition Is wholly inconsistent with all the decisions of the courts. It is the fundamental rule of Jurisprudence that no man shall be affected hv Judicial proceeding without notice and hearing. This rule, however, some times has exception in the issuing of temporary restraining orders com- majiding the defendant In effect to maintain status quo until a hearing. Such a process should issue only in rare cases where the threatened change in status quo would inflict irreparable Injury if tne time were taken to sdva notice and hold a summary hearing. "In some state courts and in fewer federal courts the practice of Issuing temporary restraining orders without notice merely to preserve status nno: mi me tneory mat u won I hurt any body, has been too common. This has made the laboring man feel the injus tice done In the issuance of a writ without notice. I conceive that in the treatment of this question it Is tho duty of citizen and legislator to view the subject from the standpoint of the man who believes himself to be un justly treated. aa well as from that of the community at large. "I have suggested the remedy of re urning In such cases to the original practice under tho old statute of the T'nJted States and the rules In enultv adopted by the supreme court, which old not permit the Issuing of nn in junction without notice. -In this re spect the Republican convention adopted another remedy that, without going so far, promises to be effica cious in securing the proper considera- i tion in sucn cases ty courts bv formu lating Into a legislative act the best present practice. Democratic Plank. "With respect to notice, the Demo cratic platform contains no recommen dations. Its only intelligible declara tion in regard to injunction suits is the reiteration of the plank In the plat forms of 1S96 and 1S04. providing that In prosecutions for contempt in federal courts where violation of the order constituting contempt charged is out side the presence of the court there shall be a jury trial. The extended op eration of such a provision to weaken the power of the courts In the enforce ment of lawful orders can har.'ly be overstated The administration of Jus tice lies at the foundation of the government- The maintenance of the au thority of the courts Is essentia un less we ere prepared to embrace an archy.

One misconception o fact with respect to the Philippine pol icy is that it is costing the people o the United States a vast sum. The fac Is since the close of the war In 190 and the restoring of 6'rdr'r in the islands the extra cost of American troops I the islands together with that of main talnlng about 4,000 Philippine scouts, does not exceed J6, 000, 000 annually. The expense of the civil government in the Islands since its establishment has been met entirely from the proceeds of taxes collected in tlje Islands. "Both platforms declare in favor of generous pensions for veterans of the civil and Spanish wars. "I am lacking lu one qualification. all Republican presidents since Lincoln that ol having been exposed to the dun ger of death on the field of battle In the defense or the country. 1 hope this lack -ill not make the veterans think , I am any less deeply thrilled by the memory of their great comrades gone beiore. urant, nayes, Uarileld, Harri son and McKmley were all sons of Ohio. Protection for Wegroes. The Republican platform refers to the amendment of the constitution passed by the Republican party for the protection of the negro. The best men of both races ought to rejoice to see growing up among the southern people an influential element disposed to en courage the negro in his hard struggle. MeKlnley, Roosevelt and the Repub lican party have constantly advocated a poncy with respect to the army and navy that will keep this republic at all times able to defend heiiterrltory and doc trines and assure Tser an appropriate part in promoting tranquility among the nations. We are a world power ana cannot neip it. And altogether at peace with all the world, secured in the consciousness that the American people do not desire and will not pro voke war with any other country, we must be prudent and not be lulled In a sense of security which will possibly ex pose us to national humiliation. The position our country has won under Republican arms tiefore the world should inure to the benefit of everyone, even the humblest of thoso entitled to look to the American flag for protection without regard to race, creed or color, and whether he be a citizen of the United States or of any of our de pendencies. "In the matter of putting a limitation upon Asiatic immigration referred to in the Democratic platform it is sufficient to say that tho present Republican ad ministration shows itself able to min imize the evils suggested and the sub sequent Republican administration can he counted upon to continue the same policy. "Another plank In the Democratic platform refers to the failure of the Republican convention to express an opinion In favor of the publicity of con tributions received and expenditures made In elections. Here again we con trast our opponents' promises with our own acts. Great improvement has taken place under Republican auspices In re spect to the collection and expenditure of money for this purpose.
