which you are held, not only by those
of your own political faith, but by your
fellow citizens wnnout roara to pany

manifested throughout your public

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

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

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

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

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.

Protect Non-Union Labor.
'There Is a luitro bodv of latmram

not organize Into'uniohs. Their rights
before the law are exactly the same as
those of union men and are to be pro

"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

"The combination of capital In large
plants to manufacture goods with the

as the assembling of parts of a ma

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

Injunction Question.
"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

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. If elected
