CHAIUHTE DAILY )I)SKR) BR, SEPTEMBER 12, 10CU. 1 , In - tart, and It , would fait ooiist.'upon,'ttH!1 who are paid In th:trm of wages each wk or ach month! for that week's r that month' work. Conditions ch&nga and the laws must be modified from time to time to fit new exlgenrie. liut tht genuine unUrlLnK principle of protection, as it litis been embodied in alt but un of the American , tariff laws for the last forty yearn, has worked out results so beneficent, so evenly and widely spread, so advantageous alike to farmers and capitalists' and working men, to commerce and trade of every kind, that the American peoiie. If they show their usual practical business sense, will inrbit that when these laws are modified they shall be modified with the utmost care and conservatism, and by the friends and hot the enemies of the protective sys tem. They cannot '.afford to truot the modification to ihhaae who" treat protec tion and robbery as synonymous terms. In closing what I have to say ubuut t'le system of promoting American In s'iB "--stry let me add a word of uordlul ugrec ' " 'With the policy of in somo woy n- . Ah within Its Iwifllts. bv appruprlale legislation, the American merchunt ma-lint-, it 1m not )-. i If.t t- to tiK as a iiiuion that our grtwt exixirt and iinrMUt trade should lie well-nigh xrluslvi ly In the hands of foreigners. It Is (ilrlleult to know if our opponents lie really sincere in their demand for the reduction of tl.o army. If uiKlncere, there is no need for comment, and If sincere, wh.it Hint II we miy in xH-ukiiiK to uitiiinul persons of :in nppeiil tit retime armv of sixty thousand men wlili-li is taking rnrv of the interests of over eighty million peo ple? The army is now relatively smaller than it was in the days of Washington. when on the pae establishment there were thirty-six hundred soldiers, while tin re were 11 little less than four millions of population; smajler than In the peaceful days of Jefferson, when there were fifty one hundred tioldiers to five million three hundred thousand population. There is now one soldier to every fourteen hun oren people In this country less than one tenth of one per cent. We cannot lieak ed seriously to argue as to the amount of possible tyranny contained In these fig ures. The army as it is now Is as small as it can possibly be and serve Its pur pose as 4n effective nucleus for the or ganization, equipment and supply of a volunteer army In time f need. It is now uced, as never before, for aiding in the upbuilding of the organised' militia of the cuuntry. The Wur Department iH-sngaRed in a systematic effort to strengthen and develop the National Guard In the several Slates; as witness, among many other in stances, the great field manoeuvres at Ma nassas, which nave Just closed. If our op ponents should come into power they tould not reduce our army below Us pres nt size without greatly Impairing Us ef ficiency and abandoning part of the na tional duty. In short, in this mailer. II our opponents should come into power they would either have to treat this par tieular promise of the year 1H4 as tliey now treat the promise they made In IfC and 190U. that is, us possessing no binding force; or else they would' have to embark on a policy which would be ludicrous at the moment, and fraught with grave dan ger to the national honor In the future COST Oe' OOVEKNMENT. Our opjKiuents contend that the govern-j ment is nuw administered1 extravagantly, and that whereas there was "a surplus of WU.WO.OW) in 1S0O" there is "a lelif.ll ol mere than 4O,0u(t,OU)" in the year that hat Just closed. This deficit Is Imaginary, and Is obtain ed by Including in the ordinary current expenses the sum of fifty millions, which was paid for the right of way of the Pan ama C1lnnl out of the accumulated sur plus In the Treasury. Comparing the cur rent or ordinary expenditures for the two years, there was a surplus of nearly eigh ty millions for the year and of onb a little more than eight millions for the year that has Just closed. Hut this dimi nution of the annual surplus was brought ubout designedly by the abolition of the war taxes in the interval between the two dales. Th .wis of March 2. 1901. and April 11'. 1902, cut down the intermit rev enue tuxes to an amount estimated at one hundred and five millions a year. In other words, the reduction cf taxation hat been considerably greater tfmn' the reduc tion in the annual surplus. Since tho float of the war witli Spain them has been m fubstuntiul chnngo In the rate of annual expenditures. As eompured with the fiscal year ending In J' .ie, W01, for example, the fiscal year tha'. Ias Just closed showed a relatively small ucrease in expenditure (excluding the canhl payment already re ferred to), while the year previous show ed a relatively small decrease. The expenditures cf the nation have been managed in a spirit of economy ;. far removed from waste as from niggard llness; and in the future every effort will Iks contlnuinl to secure mi economy as strict as is consbdent with efficiency. Once more our opponents have promised what they cannot or should not perform. The prime reason why the expenses of the government have increased of recent years is to be found In the fact that the people, after mature thought, have deem ed it wise to have certain new forms of work for the public undertaken by the public. This necessitates such expendi tures, for instance, us those for rural free delivery, or for the inspection of meats under the Department of Agriculture, or for Irrigation. But these new expendi tures are necessary; no one would se riously . propose to abandon them; and yet It is idle to declaim against the In creased expense of the government unless it Is intended to cut down the very ex penditure.! which cause the Increase. The pensions to the veterans of the civil war are demanded by every sentiment of re gard and gratitude. The rural free de livery is of the greatest use and con venience to the fnrmers. a body of men who live und?r conditions which make them ordinarily receive little direct re turn for what they pay toward the sup port of the government. The irrigation pilicy in the arid and scmi-arld regions of ihe West Is one fraught with the most licneflcent and far-reaching good to the nctual settlers, the home-mnkers, whose encouragement Is a traditional feature In America's national policy. Do our op ponents grudge the fifty millions paid tor the Panama Canal? Do they intend to cut down on the pensions to the veterans of the civil war? Io they intend to put a stop to tha irrigation policy? or to the permanent Census Bureau? or to Immi gration Inspection? Do they Intend to abolish rural free delivery? Do they In tend to cut down the navy? or the Alas kan telegraph system? Do they Intend to dismantle our coast fortifications? If there la to be a real and substantial cut ting down In national expenditures it must be in such matters as these. The Department of Agriculture has done ser vice of Incalculable value to the farmers of this country In many different lines. Do our opponents wish to cut down the r.ioney for this service? They can do It only' by destroying the usefulness of the service itself. The public work of the United States nas never been conducted with a higher irtght Hr 'fiowef' (o'lilmt our tnnwnwan-s when it is Impossible to foretell I lie condi tions "which may' ennfrant thn; white if thtre is any principle involved in the mat ter, it is Just as wrong to deny Indepen dence for a few years as to deny it for an indefinite period. But In later and equally oflUIal utter inces by our opponents the term self-government was substituted for independence; the words used being chosen that in their natural construction they described precisely the policy now be.rg carried on. Th, la uguage uf the platform Indicated a radical change of policy? the later utterance indicated a continuance of the present policy. But litis caused trouble in their own ranks: md In a still later, although less formal, utterance, the self-government : promise svas recanted, the Independence nl som future time was promised In Its place, i They have occupied three entirely differ ent positions' within arty days. Which ix h promise they really intend to keep.' l'liey do not know their own minds; audi ,io ono can tell how long they would keep if the same mind, should they by unv hunce conu to a working agreement iiTiong themselves. If such ambiguity af fected only the American -people it would tot so greatly matter: for the American MKipio ion take care of t)emsele Bin he Filipinos are In no such condition Toj.fldence is wit a them a plant of slow jrcwlli. They have been taught to trust .he word of this government because this ;overiiment has promised nothing which t (,lil nut perform. If prrmiised Hidepcu (eilce lliey will eiwet independence; not ,n the remote future, for their deseend iits. but Immediately, for themselves, it i lie promise thus made is not immediateh fulfilled they will leffard It as broken, ntui lll not a.KMiii trust to American falt'i; nd It W'iuld be indeed a wicked tlilntf to iei-eive them in such fashion. Moreover. ven If the promise were made to take ef 'eot only in tKe distant future, the Fili ilnos would be thrown into confusion 'hereby. Instead of continuing to emlenv ir to lit themselves for moral and mate l.il advancement in the present, they votild abandon all effort at progress and icgln factional Intrigues for future power. Tu promise to give them Independence vhdi it Is "prudent" to do so, or when Jty are "fit" tov It, of course implies thai .hey are. not lit for It now, and that I puld be imprudent to give it to them Sow. Hut a we must' ourselves he ilu judges as' to when they becomu "tit." an 1 vhen it would b "prudent"' to keep .nl-li i promise if -If were made, it neeesiii II roilows that to. inakcsHich a promise mm Aiiild amount to a deception upon lie l'ill;iinos. ,' It may as well be that our opponent .Rivte no real Intention of putting tlie.i iiomise into effect. If this -Is the case, 11. n other words, tl.ey nre insincere in tin jlomise they mriko, it Is only neressai . ,o say attain that It is unwise to lrn.i lien who are false ill mv thing to ie n .vltli anything.

To abandon all control over Jie Moras would amount tu releuslnr. luse Moros to prey upon the Christian Filipinos, civilized or semi-civilized us well as upon the commerce of other peo ples. The Moms are In large part still in .he stage of culture where the occupa tions of the bandit and the pirate ari those mosi highly regarded; and it has inn Ken found practical to give them self government in the sense that we havi een giving it to the christian inhahi- ,.:ins. 10 aiianuon me Moro country, as ur opponents propose in their platform, would be precisely as if twenty-five year.--.go we had withdrawn the army and t h. ivil agents from within and around the In. Man reservations In the West, at a tine Alien the Sioux and the Apache were still he terror of our settlers. It would be a nmlnal absurdity; and yet our opponents nave pledged themselves thereto. If rue itssful In the eoming election thev would either liuve to break faith, or else to do in act which would leave an Indelible ttain upon our national reputation for courage, and for good sense. During the last five years more has been done for the material and moral well-being of the Filipinos than ever before since the isl mds first came within the ken of civilized nan. Wu have opened ...before them a i-istn of orderly development in their own iiiirrt-m. unu noi a policy or exploitation Kvery effort is being made to lit the isl- t miers ror seir-government. nua the aave already In large measure -received t, while for the first time in tlieiF historv heir personal rights and civil liberties mve been guaranteed.

We hav treated, the power we have trained solemn obligation, and have used It in the present time; and a upecial meed r.f praise belongs to those officials responsi ble for the Philippines and Porto Rico, where the administrations have been mod els of their, kind. Of course wrong has occasionally occurred, but It has been re lentlessly fttamped out. We have known no party In den I hi g with offenders, and have - hunted down without mercy every wrong-doer In the Service of the nation whom It wns possible by the utmost vlgi IrtiMe til detect ; for the rptjbllc servant who betrays his trust and 'the private Indi vidual who debauches him stand as the worst of criminals, because their crimes are crimes against the entire community, and not only against this generation hut against the generations that are yet to be.

Here again we are confronted by tha fact that their Irrecon-j citable ainerences of. opinion among them selves,, their proved Inability to create a constructive policy when In power, and their' readiness, for the 'sake of momen tary political expediency, to abandon the principles upon which they, have Insisted th th Interest of mankind; arid the pso as essential, -conspire, to pussl tin as to.
