lent of a living wngo varies according
to local conditions, but must include
enough to securo tho elomonts of a
normal standard of living a stand
ard high enough to mako morality
possible, to provide for education and
recreation, to caro for liuaturo mem
bers uof tho family, to maintain the
family during periods of sickness, and
jo permit of reasonable saving for old
ago.
A "Our aim should be to securo con
ditions which will tend everywhere
towards regular Industry, and will do
avay with the necessity for rush
nerloda, followed by out-of-work
seasons, which put so severe a strain
oa wage workers.
MiMt Aid Farmers
"The Government must co-operate
with tho farmer to imako the farm
more productive. Therq must be no
skinning of the soil. Tho farm
should be left to the farmer's son In
jietter, and not worse, condition be
cause or Its cultivation. Moreover,
jvery Invention and Improvement,
every discovery and economy, should
)0 at the service of the farmer In the
work of production; and, In addition,
he should be helped to co-operate In
business fashion with his follows, so
that the money paid by the consumer
for the product of tho soil shall to
as largo a degreo as possible go Into
ho pockets of tho roan who raised
list product from the soil.
-wJ'Our aim Is to control business, not
to strangle It and, above allt not to
continue a' policy of make-believe
strangle toward big' concerns that do
evil, and constant menace toward
both 'big and little concerns that do
well. .Our aim. Is to promote pros
perity, and then see to Its proper di
vision. Wo do not believe that any
good comes to any one by a policy
which means destruction of prosper
ity; for In such cases it Is not possible
to divide It because of the very ob
vious fact that there is nothing to
divide.
t Control nig Easiness
"Wo wish to control big business
so as to securo among other things
good wages for tho wage-workers
and reasonable prices for tho con
sumers. "Wherever in any business
be prosperity of the business man Is
obtained oy lowering the wages of his
workmen and charging an excessive
prlco to tho consumers we wish to
Interfero and stop such practices. We
will not submit to that kind of pros
perity any more than wo will submit
to prosperity obtained by swindling
(nvestors or getting unfair advan
tages over business rivals,
j "It Is utterly hopeless to attempt
to control the trusts merely by the
Anti-Trust Law, or by any law the
same Jnprlnlcple, no matter what the
modifications may be In detail. In
tho first place, these great corpora
tions counot possibly be controlled
Diierely by a succession of lawsuits.
Tho administrative branch of the
Government must exercise such con
trol. Tho preposterous failure of
tho Coramerco Court has shown that
only damage comes from the effort
o substitute judicial for administra
tive control of great corporatipns. In
ho next place, a loosely drawn law
which promises to do everything
would reduce business to complete
ruin If it wero not also so drawn as
to accomplish almpst nothing.
I Government Control
"What Is needed is tho application
to all Industrial concerns and all co
operating Interests engaged in Inter
state commerco in which there is
either monopoly or control of tho
market of the principles on which we
havo gone In regulating transporta
tion concerns engaged in such' com
merco. The Anti-Trust Law should
bo kept on tho Btatuta books and
strengthened bo as to mako It gen
ulnoly and thordughly effective
against' overy big concern tending to
monopoly or guilty of anti-social
practices, At the same time, a
National Industrial commission
should bo created which should havo
?'omplete power to regulqt.e and con
rol all tho great Industrial concerns
engaged in inter-stato business
which practically m&uiB all of them
In tlilo country. This commission
should oxerclso over these industrial
concerns like powers to those exor
cised over the railways by tho inter
state Commerce- Commission,, and
ever the National banks by tho Comp
troller of the Currency, and additional
The Tariff
"I bellovo In n protective tariff,
but 1 bellovo In It as a principle, Ap
proached from the standpoint of the
interests of tho wholo people, and
not as a htindlo of preferences to bo
glvn to favored Individuals. In my
opinion, tho American peoplo favqr
tho principle of a protective tariff,
but they dcslro such a tariff to bo
established primarily In tho Interests
of tho wage-worker and tho consum
er. Tho chief opposition to our tariff
at tho present moment comes from
tho general conviction that certain
Interests haTo been Improperly favor
ed by over protection. I agree with
this view.
Tho first step should bo tho crea
tion of a permanent commission of
non-partisan experts whoso business
shall bo to stud) scientifically nil
phases of tariff-making and of tariff
effects. This commission should bo
largo enough to cover all the different
and widely varying branches of
American Industry.
As a further means of disrupting
tho old crooked, log-rolling method
of tariff-making, all future revisions
of tho tariff should bo mado schedule
by schedulo as changing conditions
may require.
Currency
"We believe that there exists nn
Imperative, need for prompt legisla
tion for the Improvement of our Na
tional currency system. Tho exper
ience of repeated financinl crises In
tho last forty years has proved that
tho present method of Issuing,
through prlvato agencies, notes se
cured by Government bonds is both
harmful and unscientific. This meth
od was adopted as a means of financ
ing tho Government during tho Civil
War through furnishing n domestic
market for Government bonds. U
wnn largely successful In fulfilling
.that purpose; but that ncud la long
past, and the system has outlived this
feature, of Us usefulness. The Issuo
of currency Is fundamentally a gov
ernmental function, Tho system to
bo adopted should have ns Its bnslo
principles soundness and elasticity.
Tho currency should flow forth read
ily at tho demand of commercial ac
tivity, and retire as promptly when
tho demand diminishes. It should
be automatically sufficient for all of
tho legitimate needs of business In
any section of tho country. Only by
such menus can tho country bo freed
from tho danger of recurring panics.
Tho control should bo lodged with
tho Government, and should bo safe
guarded agnlnst manipulation by
Wall Street or tho largo Interests. It
should bo made Impossible to uso the
machinery or perquisites of tho cur
rency system for any speculative pur
poses. Tho country must bo safe
guarded against over-expansion or un
just contraction of cither credit or
circulating medium.
Conservation
There can bo no greater Issue than
that of Conservation in this country.
Just as wo must conserve our men,
women, and children, so wo must con
servo tho resources of tho land on
which they live. We must conserve
the soil so that our children shall
havo a land that Is more and not less
fertile than that our fathers dwelt In.
Wo must conserve tho forests, not
by disuse but by uso, making them
mines. Moreover, vu must Insure aq
far as poslblo tho use of certain types
of great natural resource for tho
benefit of tho people ns n wholo. Tito
public should not nlloualo Its feo In
tho wnter power which will ho of In
calculable consequence nn a source of
power In tho Immedlato future.
In tho West, tho forests, tho rai-
lug lands, tho reserves of every kind,
should be so handled lis to bo In thu
Interests of tho actual settlor, tho ac
tual home-maker, Ho should bo on
cournged to uso them at one, but In
such a way as to preservo and not
exhaust them. Wo do not Intend tbnt
our natural resources shall bo ex
ploited by tho. few against tho In
terests of the many, nor do wo Intend
to turn them over to any jnnn who
will wasteful!) uro thorn by destruc
tion, and leave to hose who come
after us a heritage damaged by just
so much.
Alaska
Alaska should bo developed at onco,
but In tho Interest of tho actual set
tler. In Alaska tho Government has
an opporuntty of starting In what Is
almost a fresh field to work out var
ious problems by actual experiment.
The Government should at onco con
tract, own, and operate tho railways
In Alaska. Tho Government should
keep tho fee of all tho coal-flolda and
allow them to bo operated by lessees
with the condition In tho loaso that
none-use shall operate as n forfeit.
Telegraph lines should bo operatod as
the railways are.
International Affairs
In International affairs this coun
try should behave toward other na-
more valuable at tho samo tlmo that tlons exactly as au honorable prlvato
we uso them. We must conservo the 'citizen behaves toward othor private
cltUcns. We Hhoulil do no wrong to
any nation, weak or at remit, and we
should submit to no wrong. Above
all, wo should novor In any treaty
innko any promise which wo do not
Intend In good faith to fulfill.
Tho intention that has arisen over
tho right of this Nation to charge
tolls on tho Canal vlvltllly lllUMlnU
tho folly and Iniquity of making trea
ties which cannot and ought not to
bo kopt. As n peoplo thero Is no lo.
son we inoro need to learn than tho
Isbkoii not In nn outburst of emotion
alism to mako n treaty that ought not
to be, niiil could not bo, kept; and
tho further lesson that, when wo ilo
make n treaty, wo must soberly live
up to It as long as changed conditions
do no warrant the serious step uf.do
nounclng It.
Conclusion
"Now, friends, this Is my confes
sion of faith. I have mado It rather
long because I wish you to know just
what my deepest convictions uro on
the great questions of to-day, so that
If you chooso to make mo your ataud-nrd-bearer
In tho fight you shall
mako your choice understanding ex
actly how I feel and, If, after hear
ing me, you think you ought to
choose some one else, I shall loyally
abide by your cjiolco. Tho convic
tions to which I have como havo not
been arrived at as the result or study
!u tho closet or tho library, but from
the kuowldego I havo gained through
hard experience during the an any
years In which, under many and var
ied conditions, 1 have striven and
with men.
"I bellovo In a larger uso of tho
governmental power to help rotnedy
Industrial wrongs, because It has
been homo In oti mo by nctunl ex
perience that without tho qxerulrto of
snub power many of tho wronus will
go unremedied..
Appealing to tho l'eoplo
V"I liullevn In n larger opportunity
for tho peoplo theuiHolvnu directly to
participate In government and to con
trol their goverumenlnl agentH, be
cause long experience has taught mo
that without such control many of
their agents wl) reprosout them bad
ly, lly actual experience In office I
have found that, as n rule, I could se
curo tho triumph or tho causes lu
whluh I most bellnved, not from tho
politician and tho tueu who claim an
exceptional right tq speak lu business
.dud government, but by going over
their heads and appealing directly to
tho peoplo themselves.
"Surely there never wan it fight
bettor worth making than tho one In
which wo uro eiiKattod. It little mitt,
turn what befalls any one of us who
for tho tlmo being stand In tho fore
front of the battle. 1 hopo wo shall
win. nut, win or lose, we shall not
falter. Our causo la banod on the
eternal principles of righteousness;
and even though wo who now lend
may for tho ,tliuo fall, In tho end the
cause Itself shall triumph. Now to
you men, who In your turn, have
como together to spend and bo spent
lu tho cndlosi erutado iigalnst wrong,
to you who strlvo In n spirit of broth
erhood for tho betterment of our
Nation, to you who gird your selves
for this great now fight In tho never
ending warfare for tho good of
humankind, I say In closing what In
that speech 1 said In clesing: We
stand at Armageddon, and we battle
for tho Lord."
