To the Honorable Champ Clark and Others, Committee. Etc. Gentlemen: In tny resjmnse to your committee, at the formal notification proceedings, I referred to some matters not mentioned in this letter. J desire that these be considered as incorporated herein, and regret that lack of space prevents specific reference to them all. I wish here, however, again to refer to my views there expressed as to the gold standard, to declare again my unqualified belief in said standard and to express my appreciation of the action of the convention in reply to my communication upon that subject. Grave public question are pressing The Democratic party for decision. appeals to the people with confidence that its position on these questions will be accepted and endorsed at the polls. While the Issues involved are in numerous, some stand the public mind. Among these are tariff reform, imperialism, economical administration and honesty ln the public service. I shall briefly consider these and some others within the necessarily prescribed limits of this nt FORMER HIGH Is Explicit Where Roosevelt Is Vague, Cites Facts Where He Makes Generaliza- on fifty-fiv- 1904 T REPLY PENSION 26, letter. Imperialism. While I presented my views at the notification concerning proceedings this vital issue, the overshadowing importance of thia question Impels me to refer to it again. The issue la oftentimes referred to aa Constitutionalism vs. Imperialism. If we would retain our liberties and constitutional rights unimpaired, we cannot permit or tolerate, at any time or for any purpose, the arrogatlon of unconstitutional powers by the execuWe tive branch oT our government should be ever mindful of the words of Webster, Liberty la only to be preserved by maintaining constitutional restraints and a Just division of political powers. Already the national government has become centralised beyond any point contemplated or Imagined by the founders of the constitution. How tremendously all this haa added to the power of the president! It has developed from year to year until it almost equals that of many monarch. While the growth of our country and the magnitude of interstate interests may seem to furnish a plausible reason for this centralisation of power, yet these same facta furnish the moat potent reason why the executive should not be permitted to encroach upon other departments of the gov eminent, and assume legislative, or other powers, not expressly conferred by the constitution. The magnitude of the country and its diversity of interests and population would enable a determined, ambitious and able executive, unmindful of constitutional limitations and fired with lust of power, to go far ln the usurpation of authority and the aggrandisement of personal power be fore the situation could be fully ap' predated or the people be aroused. The issue of imperialism which has been thurat upon the country Involves a decision whether the law of the land or the rule of individual caprice shall govern. The principle of imperialism may give rise to brilliant, startling, dashing results, but the principle of Democracy holds ln check the brilliant executive and subjects him to the so her, conservative control of the people. The people of the United States stand at the parting, of the ways. Shall we follow the footsteps of our fathers along the paths of peace, prosperity and contentment, guided by the ever-livin- g spirit of the constitution which they framed for us, or shall we go along other and untried paths, hither' to shunned by all, following blindly new Ideals, which, though appealing with brilliancy to the imagination and ambition, may prove a will o' the wisp leading us into difficulties from which it may be impossible to extricate ourselves without lasting injury to our national character and institutions? The Tariff and Trusts. Tariff reform la one of the cardinal principles of the Democratic faith, and the necessity for it was never greater than at the present time. It hould be undertaken at once In the interest of all our people. The Dlngley tariff is excessive In many of ita rates, and, as to them at least, unjustly and oppressively burdens the people. It secures to domestic manufacturers, singly or in combination, the privilege of exacting exces sive prices at home and prices far above the level of shies made regularly by them abroad with profit, thus giving a bounty to foreigners at the expense of our own people. It levies oppressive and unjust taxes upon many articles forming, In whole or In part, the raw material of many of our manufactured products. ed noi duly burdening the consumer, but aim dosing to the manufacturer the markets he needs and seeka abroad. Its unjust taxation burdens the people generally, forcing them to pay excessive prices for fond, fuel, clothing ainl other necessaries of life. It levies duties on many urtlclea not normally In considerable InqMirted uny amount, which are made extensively at home, for which the most extreme protectionist would hardly Justify protective taxes, and which in large amounts are exported. Such duties have been and will continue to he a direct incentive to the formation of huge industrial combinations, which, secure front foreign competition,' are eimbled to stifle domestic competition and to practically monopolise the home market. It contains many duties Imposed for the express purpose only, aa was openly avowed, of furnishing a basis for reduction by means of reciprocal trade treaties, which the Republican administration, Impliedly at leHSt, promised to negotiate. Having, on thia promise, secured the Increased duties, the Republican party leaders, spurred on by protected interests, defeated the treaties negotiated by the executive, and now these same interests cling to the benefit of these duties which the people never intended they should have, and to which they have no moral right. Even now the argument most frequently urged ln behalf of the Dlngley tariff, and in favor of tariff reform generally, is the necessity of caring for our Infant industries. Many of these Industries, after a hundred years of lusty growth, are looming up as industrial giants. In their case, at least, the Dlngley tariff invites combination and monopoly, and gives Justification to the expression that the tariff is the mother of trusta For the reasons, among many others, the people demand reform of these abuses, and such reform demands and should receive Immediate attention. The two leudlng parties have always differed aa to the principle of customs taxation. Our party haa always advanced the theory that the object is the raialng of revenue for support of the government whatever other results may incidentally flow therefrom. The Republican party, on the other hand, contends that customs duties should be levied primarily for with revenue aa protection, the subordinate purpose, thus using the power of taxation to build tip the business and property of the few at the expense of the many. The difference of principle still subsists, hut our party appreciates that the long continued policy of the country, aa manifested in its statutes, makes it necessary that tariff reform should be prudently and sagaciously undertaken, on scientific principles, to the end that there should he an immediate revolution ln existing conditions. In the words of our platform, we demand a revision and a gradual reduction of the tariff by the frlenda of the masses, and for the common weal, and not by the friends of its abuses, its extortions and discriminations." It is true that the Republicans, who above-mention- ed not admit ln their platform that the Dlngley tariff needs the slightest alteration, are likely to retain a majority of the Federal Senate throughout the next presidential term, and could, therefore, if they chose, block every attempt at legislative relief. But it should be remembered that the Republican party includes many revisionists, and I believe it will shrink from defying the popular will ex pressed unmistakably nnd peremptorily at the ballot box. The people demand reform of exSince the last isting conditions. Democratic administration the cost of living has grievously Increased. Those having fixed Incomes have suffered keenly: those living on wages, if there has been any increase, know that such increase haa not kept pace with the advance in the cost of living, includ ing rent and the necessaries of life. Many today are out of work, unable to secure any sages at all. To alleviate these conditions, in so far as is in our power, should be our earnest endeavor. Trust Ramediss.
