There arc more deposits in the sav- against revuiuuuu,
ings banks, more owners of farms,
mnrp wpll.nalil wncoworkers in this
country now than over before In our
history. Of course, when the condi
tions have favored the growth of what
was good they have also lavoreu
somewhat the growth of so much
that was evil. It is eminently necos-
sarv that we should endeavor to cut
out this evil, but let us keep a duo
sense of proportion; let us not in fix
ing our gaze upon the lesser evil ior
get the greater good. The evils are
real and some of them are menacing,
but they aro the outgrowth, not of
misery or decadence, hut ot prospnn-
tj of the progress ot cor gmauni
industrial ilnvplonment. This indus
trial development must not be check
ed, but side by side with it snoum r
such progressive regulation as will
diminish the evils. Wo should fail
in mir diitv fr wr Hlri not try to rem
edy the evils, but we shall succeed if
we proceed patiently, with practical
common sense as well as resolution,
separating the good from the bad and
holding on to the former wnne en
deavoring to .get rid of the latter.
Trusts.
In my message to the present con
gress at its first session I dis cussed
at length the question of the regula
tion of those big corporations con
monly doing an interstate business,
often with some tendency to monop
oly, which are popularly known as
trusts. The experience of the past
year has emphasized, in my opinion,
the desirability ot tne steps i men
proposed. A fundamental requisite of
social efficiency is a' high standard of
individual energy and excellence; uiu.
this is in no wise Inconsistent with
power td act In combination for almB
which cannot so well bo achieved by
the individual acting alone. A funda
mental base of civilization Is the In
violability of property; but this is in
no wise inconsistent with the right of
society to regulate the exercise of the
artificial powers which It confers
upon the owners oi property, unuer
hp nmp nf cornorate franchises, in
such a way as to prevent the misuse
of these pewers. Corporations, and es
pecially coniDinauons oi corpurunuus
should be managed under public regu
lation. Experience lias shown that
under our system of government the
necessary supervision can not bo ob
tained by state action. It must there
fore be achieved by national action.
Aim Not to Destroy.
nnr nlm Ir not to do away with cor
porations; on the contrary, these big
aggregations are an inevitanie aevei
opment of modern industrialism, and
the effort to destroy them would be
futile unless accomplished in ways
that would work the utmost mischief
to the entire body politic. We can do
nnhlncr nf tnnrt In thn wav of regu
lating and supervising these corpora
tions until we nx cieany in our miuu
that we are not attacking the corpora
linns hut endeavorlnk to do away
with any evil In them. We are not
hostile to them; we are merely deter
minpH that tliev shall be so handled as
to subserve the public good. We draw
th,e line against miseonouci, nuv
wealth. The capitalist wboalone or
in conjunction with bis fellows, per
forms some great industrial feat by
which he wins money is a welldoer,

ment we are helpless In the presence
of new conditions, and unable to grnp

of evil has arisen in connection with

Evil Can Be Prevented.
I believe that monopolies, unjust
rtlcrrlmlnattons. whldli orevent or
cripple competition, fraudulent over
capitalization, and other evils in trust
organizations and practices which In
juriously effect interstate trade can ne
nrevented under the Dower of the con
gress to "regulate commerce with for-
elgn nations, and among tne several
states" through regulations and re
quirements operating directly upon
such commerce, the instrumentalities
thereof, and those engaged therein.
I earnestly recommena mis ounjuut
to thn nnnsldRration of the congress
with a view to the passage of a law
reasonauie in its provisions aim ui-
fpntlvn In Its nnerations. unon which
the questions can be finally adjudicat
ed that now raise doubts as to tho
necessity of constitutional amend
ninnt. if It nrovn imnosslble to ac
complish the purposes above set forth
by such a law, men, .assuredly, we
should not shrink from amending the
constitution so as to secure Doyonu
peradventure the power sought.
Labor and Capital.
Mnvt tn Rpcnrn fair treatment alike
for labor and for capital, how to hold
in check tho unscrupulous man,
whether employer or employee, with
out weakening individual initiative,
without hampering and cramping the
industrial development of tne coun

difficulties and one whlclnlt is or the
highest importance to solve on lines

This is an era of federation and com
bination. Exactly as business men
find they must often work through
cornoratlons. and as it is a constant
tonrlnnnv nf these cornoratlons to
grow larger, so It Is often necessary
for laboring men to work in federa
tions, and these have become Im
portant factors of. modern Industrial
life. Both kinds of federation, cap!
tnllRtln and labor, can do much good.
and as a necessary corollary they can
both do evil, opposition u eacn kiuii

Reciprocity With Cuba.

a reciprocity treaty with Cuba. On

vacating Cuban soli and turning Cuba

had chosen as tho first officials of the
new republic.

ever affects her for good or for ill af

that Cuba must hereafter have closer
relations with us thnn with any other
power. Thus in a senso Cuba has bo
nnmn a nart nf our international polit

that ln return sho should no given
somo of the benefits of becoming
nart of our economic system. It Is,
from our standpoint, a short-sighted
and mischievous policy to fall to rec
ognize this need.
Moreover. Is Is unworthy of
