erned," If we would have our Government continue during the ages to come, for the benefit of those who shall succeed us, we must ever t>e on our guard against the danger of usurpation of that authority which resides in the whole people, whether the usurpation be by officials representing one of the three great departments of Government, or by a body of men acting without a commission from the people. impatiMnck ok tiik hkstraints of law, as well as of its delays, is becoming more and more manifest from day to day. Within the past few years many instances have been brought to our attention where in different parts of our beloved c<Kintry supposed criminals have been seized and punished by a mob, notwithstanding the fact thai the Constitution of each state guarantees to every person within its jurisdiction that his life, his liberty or his property shall not l>e taken from him without due process of law. In a struirirle between emnlovcrsand employees, dynamite Is said to have been used by the latter, resulting In the loss of life and the destruction of property. The perpetrators of this offense against the laws of God and inank' and all others engaged in the conspiracy with them, should, after due trial and conviction, have had meted out to them the most rigorous punishment known to the law. This crime, added, to others, led to the format ion of a committee of citizens that, with the support of the milhtary authority, deports from the State, without trial, persons suspected of belonging to the organization of which the perpetrators of the dynamite outrages were supposed to be in em be re. In both cases the reign of law gave way to the reign of force. These Illustrations present some evidence of the failure of government to protect the citizen and his property, which not only Justified the action of your Convention in this reSard, but made It its duty to call at ention to the fact that constitutional guarantees are violated whenever any citizen is denied the right to lalor, to acquire and to enjoy property, or to reside where his interests or inclination may determine; and the fulfilment of the assurance to rebuke and punish all denials of tlfese rights, whether brought about by individuals or vjruvurimiuin agencies, snouid i>c enforced by every otilclal and supported by every citizen. The essence of good government lies in the strict observance of Constitutional limitations, enforcement of law and order and rugged opposition to all encroachment upon the sovereignty of the people. LAW VKHSUS IM I'KKI A LI8.M The foregoing suggestions but emphasize the distinction which exists between our own and many other forms of government. It has been well said, in substance, that there are but two powers in government, one the power of the sword, sustained by the hand that wields It, and the other the power of the law, sustained by an enlightened public sentiment. The difference in these powers is the dllTerence between a republic such as ours, based on law and a written Constitution, supported by Intelligence, virtue and patriotism and a monarchy- sustained by force exerted by an individual, uncontrolled by laws other than those made or sanctioned by him; one represents constitutionalism, t heother Imperialism. THK l'ltKHKNT TAIMKK I.AW is unjust in its operat ion, excessive in many of its rates and so framed in particular instances as to exact Inordinate protits from the people. So well understood has this view become that many prominent members of the Republican party, and at least two of its State conventions, have dared to voice the general sentiment on that subject. That party seems, however, to be collectively able to harmonize only upon [ , a plank that admits that revision may k from time to time be necessary, but it E Is so phrased that it is expected to be |k satisfactory to those in favor of an increase of duty, to those who favor a Wljjlk reduction thereof, and to those opposed to any change whatever. Judged by the record of perforinancc, rather than that of promise, on the part of t hat, party in th<$ past, it E would seem as if the outcome, in the E event of Its success would Ik? to gratify K the. latter class. With absolute concontrol of both the legislative and executive departments of the GovernK ment since March 4th, 18P7, t here has been neither reduction i or an att empt 7 at reduction in tariff duties. It is not unreasonable to assume, in the light of that record, that a future Congress V of that party will not undertake a rcvision of the tariff downward in the 'K, event that it shall receive an endorseH ment of its past course on that subject ? by the people. 11 is a fact and should be frankly conceded that though our H - kflErt y be successful in the , .v MTst we cannot hope to secure a tnajori y in the Senate during the next four Wears and hence we shall t>e unable to hjcure any modification in the tariff vthat to which the Republican > '*jorl ty in the Senate may consent. tv CHATtOrig OF TAKIKF UKKOUM. While, therefore, we are unable to -V ranees of relief to the people Bsuch excessive duties as burden V it is due to them that we state position to t>e in favor of a reasonmm M' iable reduction of the tariff; we l>elieve Boat, it is demanded by t he best inter?t both matiufacturer and coniU,d that a wise and beneficent ^fe&MEevision of the tariff can be'accomplished as soon as botli branches of psjfWIW Congress and an executive in favor of ' it are elected. without, i??? ????.? btf sense of unqertvlnty and Instability that has on other occasions manifested itself. This can l>e achieved by providing that such a reasonable period shall intervene between the date of the enactment of the statute making a revision and the date of its enforcement as shall bo deemed sufllcient for the industry or business atTectcd by such revision to adjust itself to the changes and new conditions imposed. So confident am 1 in the belief that the demand of the people for a reform of the tariff is just, that I indulge the hope that should a Democratic House of Representatives and a Democratic executive be chosen by the people, even ? a Republican Senate may heed the warning and consent to give at least P:nme measure 01 roller to the people. f TABIKK-BHKl) TBU8TS. The combinations, popularly called trusts, which aim to secure a monopol/ of trade in the necessaries of life as veil as In those things that are employed upon the farm. In the factory land immany other lields of Industry, have been encouraged and stimulated by excessive tariff duties. These operate to furnish a substantial market in the necessities of eighty millions of people, by practically excluding competition. With so large a market and highly remunerative priees continuing long after the line of possible competition would naturally lie reached, the temptation of all engaged in the same business to combine so as to prevent competition at home and a resulting redaction of prices has proved Irresistible in a number of cases. All men must agree that the net result of enacting laws that foster such Inequitv able conditions Is mc?t unfortunate for the people as a whole, and it should . seem as if all ought to agree that the \ \ u plies. The fact that they have multiplied in number and increased in power lias been due, not to the failure of the Courts to apply the law when properly moved be administrative officials or private individuals, but to the failure of officials charged with the duty of enforcing the law to take the necessary procedure to procure the judgments of the Courts In the appropriate jurisdiction, ix upled with the fact that the legislative departments of some of our State Governments, as well asCXmgross in the manner already referred to, have, by legislation, encouraged their propagation. SVhat Is needed?In addition to the passage of a statute revising the taritT duties to a reasonable basis- is not so much other and different laws as otllcials having Ixith the disposition and the courage to enforce existing law. While this is my view of the scope of the commom law, if It should be made to appear that it is a mistaken one, then I favor such further legislation within constitutional limitations as will give the people a just and full measure of protect ion. KILII'INO INDKl'KNDKNCK. It is dlfllcult to understand how any citizen of the United States, much less a descendant of Kevolutionfary stock, can tolerate the thought of permanently denying the right of selffovernment to the Filipinos. Can we tope to instill into the minds of our descendants reverence and devotion for a government by the people, while denying ultimately that right to the inhabitants of distant countries, whose territory we have acquired either by purchase or by force? Can we say to the Filipinos, " Your lives, your lilx;rty and your property may be taken from you w ithout due process of law for all time," and expect we will long glory In that feature of Magna Charta, which has become incorporated in substance and effect, into tire Constitution of every State, as well as into the Fourteenth amendment to tlie Constitut iou of tlie United States? Can we hope for the respect of tilt; civilized world, while proudly guaranteeing to every citizen of the United States that 110 law shall l>e made or eniorceu which snail aonoge ine privileges 01 immunities of cit izens of tlie United States, or deny to any puf&on tlie equal protection of the laws, and at the same time not only deny similar rights to the inhabitants of the Philippines, but take away from them the right of trial by jury, and place their lives and the disposition of their property in the keeping of those whom we send to them to no their governors? We shall certainly rule it as a nation if we make any such attempt. Viewing the question even from the standpoint of national selfishness, there is no prospect that the twenty millions of dollars expended in the purchase of the islands and the $050,000,000 said to have l>ecn since disbursed will ever come hack to us. The accident of war brought the Philippines into our possession and we are not at. lilierty to disregard the responsibility which thus came to us, but that responsibility will be best subserved by preparing the islanders as rapidly as possible tor selfgovernment and giving to them 1 lie assurances that it will come as soon as they are reasonably prepared for it. There need be no fear that the assertion so often made of late, that we have now become a world power, will then lie without support. (>urs is a world power, and as such it must be maintained, but 1 deny that it is at all recently that the united States lias attained that eminence. Our country became a world power over a century ago, when, having thrown off foreign domination, the people established a free government, the source of whose authority sprung, and was continuously to proceed, from me win 01 ilie people themselves. It grew as a world power as its sturdy citizens, to whose natural increase I were added immigrants from the Old World seeking to obtain here the lit city and prosperity denied them in their own countries, spread over the face of the land, reduced the prairies and forests to cult ivat ion, built cities, constructed highways and railroads, till now a nation which at the formation of the Government numbered only :i 000,000 in population, lias become H0,000,000 and from ocean to ocean and the lakes to the Gulf, the country Is the aliode of a free and prosperous people, advanced in the highest degree i i the learning and arts of .civilization. It Is the liberty, the advancement and the prosperity of its citizens, not any career of conquest that make t he Country a world power. This condition we owe to bounty of Providence, unfolded In the great natural resources of the country, to the wisdom of our fathers manifested in the form of government established by them, to the energy, industry, moral character and lawabiding spirit of the people themselves. \VK AUK NOT A MILITARY TKOl'LU bent on conquest, or engaged in extending our domains in foreign lands, or desirous of securing natural advantages, however great, by force; but a people loving peace, not only for ourselves, but for all the nations of the earth. The display of great military armaments may please the eye and, for the moment, excite the pride of the citizen, hut it cannot bring to the country the biains, brawn aqd muscle of a single immigrant, nor induce the investment here of a dollar of capital. Of course such armament as maybe] necessary for the security of the country and the protection of the rights of its citizens, at home or abroad, must lie maintained. Any other course would tie not only false economy, but pusilanhnous. I protest, however, against the feeling, now far too prevalent, that by reason of the commandimr r\Auif %??* * l-*r% ?*-? ?1 *? A % >iaf^ uvciiuiv/ii rru UiVVU tmuillUU III 1>I1C world wc must take part in the disputes and broils of foreign countries; and that because we have grown'great we should intorvene In every important question that arises in other parts of the world. I also protest against the erection of any such military establishment as would be required to maintain the country in that attitude We would confine our international activities solely to matters in which tho rights of the oountry or of our citizens ! are directly Involved. That is not a situation or isolation, but of independence. WK A UK NOT WOULD^RUI.KUH The Government of the .United States was organized solely for the people 9f the United States. While it was contemplated that tills country should liecome a refuge for the oppressed of every land, who might be tit to discharge the duties of our citizenship, and while we have always sympathized with the people of every nation in their struggles for self-government, the Government was not created for a career of political or civilizing evangelization in foreign countries or among alien races. The most efficient work we can do in uplifting the people of other countries is by the presentation of a happy, prosperous self-governing nation as an ideal to be emulated, a model to be followed. The general occupation of our citizens in the arts of peace, or the absence of large military armaments, tends to Impair nelther patrlotism nor physical cou-age, and for tho truth of this I refer the young men of to-day to the history of the civil war. For fifty years, with the exception of the war with Mexico, this + most heroic deeds proceeded intlnltely , more from devotion to the country, than from martial spirit. As I have already proceeded at too q great length, other questions suggest- o ed in the platform, must await my I letter of acceptance. f, Mr Chairman: In most graceful ^ speech you have reminded me of the great responsibility, as - well as the * great honor of the nomination bestowed upon me by the Convention n you represent this day.

I shall not Ik- a candidate for, e nor shall 1 accept, a renomln^tlon. . Several reasons might be advanced for this position, but the controlling one Jwith me Is that I am fully persuaded t that no incumbent of that otlice should ever be placed in a sit uation of possible > temptation to consider what the effect c of action taken by him in an adrnlnis- a tratlve matter of great importance | might have upon his political fortunes^ . Questions of momentous consequence to all tlie people have been in the past 8 and will be in the future presented to e tlie President for determination, and in approaching the consideration, as a well as In weighing the facts and the s arguments bearing upon them, he a should be unembarrassed by any possible thoughtof t lie influence his decision ^ may have upon anything whatever that may elfect him personally. 1 make this statement, not in criticism of any of our Presidents from Washington down who have either held the otlice for t wo t erms or sought to succeed themselves' for strong arguments can be advanced in support of ti e re-election of a President, it is simply my judgment that the interests of this country are now so vast and the question ^ presented are frequently of such overpowering magnitude to the people that it is indispensable to the maintenance of a befitting attitude before the people not only that tlie Chief Magistrate should be independent, but that that Independence should be known of all men. .lodge Parker followed his nianu script closely.
