Gentlemen Tho Governor Gov-ernor of New York In addressing this audience addressed you Just as he woul an audience of ladles and gentlemen gentle-men In the State of New York but In the State of Utah there Is n higher and more advanced form of civilization Laughter and applAuse u form of civilization the beneficial effects of which have not been recognized by older communities of less courage than this a form of civilization and advanced ad-vanced thought so ably considered In tho GovernorH message of the State I of New York and for the first time In 0 tme the history of any of tho thirteen colonies colo-nies when our candidate for the Vice Presidency recognizing the Justice and tho wisdom of the POliCY recommended to the Legislature ot Nov York the Legslnturc granting female suffrage In that Stain I think It was a wise thing todo because be-cause I think the women of New York would come nearer controlling the Tammany elements and the thugs around the Five Points than the politicians poli-ticians of New York have succeeded In doing In the last generation Applause Ap-plause ADVANCE OF THE RACE This advancement touard the Vent reminds me of a thought worthy of expression ex-pression here This nce to which we l > olong has been moving westward for nearly two thousand years About two thousand years ago the humble Nana rene told the fishermen of Judea to go forth and preach the gospel to all men everywhere In obedience to that com maml these humble fishermen gvlftl > turned toward the west Under the I doctrines taught by them a civilization WOK built up such a the world lm1 I I never before known This race conquered con-quered the wilds of Europe I con quored the Ides adjoining and finally the Pilgrim Fathers In the North and the cavaliers In the Spulh landed l spectlvoly at Plymouth Rock and upon the palmcovered beaches of FlorlJa During the last four hundred years this race has been engaged in conquering this continent the wivage the forest the wild hestt the sterile plain the rocky mountain cc and all the obntn des have been brokon down and conquered I con-quered by tho steady march of this masterful race i We are nov upon the shores of the mighty Pacific with our civilization After twenty centuries of march from Asia around the globe we find ourselves tn selves back again at the rear door of Asia I Is I only ten days sailing from San Francisco or Seattle to the very heart of the Orient the place from whence our fathers started We have developed upon this continent a civilization civili-zation and a rule of law as contradistinguished contradis-tinguished from license which will shed benediction over all the wide world when that Influence shall be estab llshod l Our civilization we could not stop If we would The Influence that was crystallized Into phrase at Independence Inde-pendence hal at Philadelphia In 1776 can no more be confined to continents contnent than can the sun that shines above us be confined to continents This civilization civili-zation of ours this spirit of liberty j I I I = I j J I I t 5 I I I I 1 I I Senator Carter of Montana Delighting Delight-ing the Saltair Audience I that found Its greatest expression In the Declaration of Independence cannot can-not be monopolized by us The influ ence that emanated from that little brick hal In Philadelphia has been steadily permeating all the peoples of th earth SUPREME DUTY OF THE HOUR But a special mission and special work attaches to the people of this Pacific slope a work that wo cannot stop if wo would because we are the vanguard and In our proud moments of selfconsciousness we believe that we ire tho best expression of the civi lization and progress of all the ages This boast Is to be determined ar idle boast or the announcement of a fact by our actions on the Cth day of November No-vember Applause I we turn back from the supreme duty o this mighty hour If we decline de-cline to discharge the responsibility which under the providence of God has fallen to us now we shall be en titled l to the just maledictions of pos terlty I on the other hand we show that we realize that we will reap because j be-cause others In their day did sow and as we reap the fruits o the power of I other generations so we must in turn plant that others may reap in days to come 5 comeThis This generation has built the railroads rail-roads across this continent Within the sound of my voice at this moment there are hundreds of men and women who remember the day of the pushcart push-cart and the bleeding feet of the ox team and the muleteam and the pony express and the stage coach Since KhPs dayswlthln a period of time too scarcely beat measurement th Stiutlf ern Pacific railroad the Atchison railroad I road the Union and the Central Pacific Pa-cific the Oregon Short Line and the Northern Pacific road the Great Northern I North-ern road a string of roads of mighty capacity have been constructed connecting con-necting the Atlantic with hc Pacific ocean It Is scarcely possible to believe that fifty years ago there was not ns much railroad west of the Mississippi river as there is between here and Ogden today Just fifty years ago there was not as much railroad track west of the Mississippi river as there Is I street car track In Salt Lake City to day The struggling people who came here first lived on such game as they could get and l the game was frequently reduced to grasshopper pie But today what can be said of the beautiful build Ings and streets and homes of this I city can be said of a hundred more In tho West MARKET FOR UTAH PRODUCTS Coming down from Ogden today I noticed by the side o the railroad track a long string of wagons loaded with beautiful red tomatoes They were going to a cannery to be put Into form for commercial use I Inquired where they were shipped They told me to the surrounding mining camps Coming down the beautiful Cache val hey yesterday we Inquired what became be-came of oil the wheat that was grown in Cache valley and they told us that up to two years ago there was scarcely a market for It except In the mining camps round about and that market very limited Within tho last two years under the vitalizing force 01 William McKlnleys administration a mrkot has been obtained for the beau tiful Bear River and Cache Valley wheat Applause at tidewater on the Pacific Ah mark Let us not In the few I moments that are allowed us here today I to-day deal In Idle visions The Christian religion and all that It means to humanity hu-manity will on without wl go any help I will go on In Spite of us I can no mom be checked than can the eagle souring In the sky be fettered by cobwebs cob-webs Just take tho ordinary school boys map In your mind for a moment and you will find that the Pacific ocean Is the largest ocean on the gobe I dont think any Democrat even will deny that though they have denied more evident facts than that Laughter I want to talk business here for a moment mo-ment nnd this school geography Is the basis of It I Take the map of Asia the western part of the United States and the cuntry surrounding the Pacific ocean f you please You vlll find that on the east of the Atlantic ocean there are only about 250 million of people all told That includes the population of Russia in Europe Now to tho west in the Pacific ocean within two thousand thou-sand miles Is tho American city of Manila a city thnt Is destined under our flag to bj orne the great clearinghouse clearing-house of the Orient Within two thousand thou-sand miles of that city more than one half the population of this entire globe resides over seven hundred millions of people J110ns I peopleAFTER AFTER FLOUR AND MEAT I But our Democratic frIends will say that they dont eat anything over there but rice and rats Laughter I say that the fellow who said that the country coun-try west of the Mississippi was only fit for the home of the cactus and Jackrabbit Jack-rabbit will make little over this new proposition But my friends within the laat three years pcry bushel of I surplus wheat In California In Oregon iu I Montana has been going west la J stead of east Going where Going Into the hungry mouths of the mighty hordes of the Orient and If every aero I of Irrigable land were cultivated to Its utmost If every drop of water that runs to waste were stored and utilized during the irrigation season you would still be unable to produce a bushel to the aero of wheat in nil the country for every family In the Orient that may I become our customers AH my friend Col Guild of MossachuBCtts says they have quit eating biriia neat soup over I there and are getting after our flour They are getting after our canned I i beef they arc using our cotton Let me state to you a fact that the transportation I trans-portation men here assembled will verify veri-fy Cotton has been going at better r prices for the last few years Why I Because the cotton of Texas and Louisiana and Mississippi is being I J shipped to China and Japan Instead of S the overfloodcd market of England I This is the material side of this I proposition but let no man howsoever enthusiastic In behalf of civilization I and the Christian religion undcrestl I male the value of the commercial world I as f civilizing force Now my friends 1 why have these things come about I We need something in addition to what I we have in order to gather In the full 1 fruit of this harvest We need more 1 ships upon the ocean and l these ships must lly the American Hag applauso and the Republican party stands for American shipping Applause Wo want your State Col Guild to participate partici-pate In this great commercial feast also al-so and therefore wo want the Nicaragua I Nica-ragua canal built and the Republican I party believes In that Applause I AMERICAN RIGHTS UPHELD More Important than ships and canals we want it understood that wherever an American merchant I makes a contract wherever an American Ameri-can shipowner enters Into an agreement agree-ment that agreement will be carried I out whether It be with Chinese 1 1 Japanese or Koreans or any other peoples of the earth One of the dif I cultles heretofore encountered by our r American merchants abroad has been that more or less contempt existed in I I so far as our Government was concerned con-cerned l Everywhere let us admit It I let us blush with each other In shame oler time without number all around this I globe American sailors American merchants I mer-chants and American travelers have been compelled to pass by tile American I Ameri-can Consul and go to a British t German I Ger-man a Russian or 0 French Consul to I get ordinary justice In the courts or in the course of an ordinary business 4 transaction Since the Inauguration of I I William McKinley the word of the American Consul Is received with the J same prompt consideration and pro I foundrespect as is shown the Consuls of any other country Applause I WHAT EXPANSION MEANS I I But people will say there Is expansion expan-sion and Imperialism My dear friends j I let me say to you that in my humble 1 judgment the victorious enterprising I conquering spirit of the American people I peo-ple cannot be confined to 0 reservation I reserva-tion You cannot make Chinamen or a I band of Indians out of the average I American Applause We will not stop upon the shore of any sea but we wi insist that tho young aggressive progressive intelligent industrious honest American boy shaH have as good a chance anywhere on this earth as offered to any one else That Is all that expansion means If you want I to herd the people into a reservation If you want to stand shaking upon the western I shore and say We have gone far enough we may get hurt If we go farther all you have to do Is to throw our vote away and leave for the next generation the work from which you shrink because some generation will do IU We may be subject to censure and blame by the men who do the work Let us do the work ourselves Applause During McKinloys administration we have gone far to supplement what William II Seward did Seward got hold of Alaska bought It for 7200000 The C2000CO was added to the purchase price for the purpose of paying for coal that had l been consumed by the British Into New York licet in coming over harbor at the time when the British were about to attack us when Mason I and Slidoll were seized The purchase Sldol price was 7000000 rhat carried with I it Alaska and the Aleutian Islands The i Hawaiian Islands take In the center of Hawaian the Pacific the Philippine Islands the southwest Thus wc have within a single administration secured physical control of the Pacific ocean I we reelect re-elect McKinley as we will the close ftC the next administration will witness I the Pacific and I propose tnruc cifceia for McKinley Roosevelt and prosperity pros-perity Great applause |
