YOU'LL BE THERE WONT YOUP DEMOCRATS ARE IN ACCORD (Continued from Page Two.) nority is the fate of the president o1 the United States today.

But their reward of dignities merited and honors conferred will be his rewaro, whe nthe people speak on the eighth of next November Where the President Stands. To win this priceless right of neutrality this nation had to undergo a tong and painful struggle. It took Washington with his allies and sword eight years to win recognition of his country's liberty; it took Washington and his successors, eighty years of endless negotiation to win recognition of American neutrality. And this eighty years ot struggle wove the doctrine of neutrality so closely into the warp and woof of our national life that to tear tout now would unravel the very threads of our existence. "To maintain our national honor by peace if we can, by war if we must," is the motto of the president of the United States.

But before submitting to the chance and misery of war, true statesman that he is, he proposes to put the reason and justice of negotiation to the test. If they are as patriotic as they pretend those who censure this policy of negotiation may blush from s'ame to learn that they censure the policy pursued- by the signers of the Declaration of Ins dependence. In the document which made 115 free John Hancock and Benjamin, Franklin and Charles, Carroll and all the other signers declare (I quote their exact words), they declare they "appealed," they declare they "com jured," they declare the "warned," they declare, they "reminded" England wrongs before we went to war. Any one can disparage diplomatic procedure, but only men of patience and principle can successfully conduct it. Domestic Policies.

It is more than coincidence that an administration which has steadfastly maintained the peace and the honor of the nation, should have sought with equal energy and equal success the internal progress and domestic prosperity which is tho natural product of tranquility and fair dealing. Four years ago the people of this country entrusted their government to a man and to a party who promised that they would liberate the nation from the chains of industrial tyranny, wno pledged themselves ty break down the barriers behind which special privilege sat entrenched; who engaged themselves to emancipate business, to throw wide the gates of lawful enterprise, to restore to the men and women or America the paths of progress which had been choked and blocked by long years of invisible government. That promise has been kept; that pledge has been redeemed. Today the prosperity which the nation enjoys bears witness that Democracy has kept the faith. Today the gates of opportunity are open; the hosts of special privilege stand disarmea.

We must content ourselves here with a brief consideration of the great landmarks which chart change from government for the fortunate few to an even-handed government in the interest of all. Federal Reserve Act. The first of these is the Federal Reserve Act which freed the business man and the farmer from the financial domination of the money changer and lifted the menace or panic from our industrial life. Five times during the past thirty years, at periods when industry was flourishing and crops were abundant, the purse strings of the country have tightened without apparent reason and the nation has been devastated' by panics. Business men had seen the patient work of years swept away in a night Farmers had watched their homes sold over their heads.

The widow and the orphan, the tire-woman and the mechanic had found themselves defrauded of their pittances as they beat upon the closed doors of insolvent banks. Paralysis had fallen upon the nation's industries. Armies of the unemployed had marched from factory to factory begging for work. Bread lines and soup kitchens had sprung up in every city of the land and within their financial fortresses the few who brought about this universal misery watched their work and counted their gains. Throwing down the gauntlet to those who had fattened on the sy9tem that made these evils possible, this Democratic administration passTed the Federal Reserve Act.

The safety, the simplicity, the etfectiveness of the Federal Reserve plan constitute a terrible indictment of the Republican administrations which had permitted panics to continue without adopting it. In the panic of 1907, under the old system New York could not lene a country bank $50,000 with which to meet factory pay-rolls; in 1915 under the new system, inaugurated by this Democratic administration, New York loaned Europe five hundred millions even though the finan. cial centers of the world were disrupted by the world war, and there were still left in New York the largest bank deposits in its history. If this Democratic administration had performed no other public serv4 ice than the enactment of the Reserve Act, it would deserve the unstinted approval of a grateful tion.

An extra value at only 15c al Reserve Act this administration has devoted itself to the stimulation of American industry, agriculture and trade through all the agencies of government. It has given a new meaning ana a new force to the laws restraining big business from stifling It has created a trade commission to. afford to business generally a more direct and prompt administration of the laws relating to business. It has established government representatives throughout the worla, whose sole duty is to foster the expansion of American trade. It has created a closer union or economic, commercial and financial interests between the United States and the nations of South America.

It. has declared in language that no court and no employer can misunderstand that "the labor of a human being is not a comodity or article or commerce" and that no employer can compel his men to work for him against their will. It has freed the farmer from the chains of a financial system which was devised for business and not for farming and has enabled him to sell his produce at prices that compensate him for the sweat of the harvest, the tilling of. the soil. The Tariff.

But I cannot close this brief and inadequate review of what the present administration has accomplished without adverting to its courageous and statesmanlike solution of the nation's tariff problem. The Underwood tariff enacted DY this administration has banished greed fromb the gates of our ports and written justice into our tariff schedules. Of all the tariffs we ever enacted this is the fairest and the best. Until the foreign war reduced importations no new tariff was ever more satisfactory. The highest protective tariff ever written would probably have given us no more revenue during this European war and a higher tariff on raw material would have hampered our manufacturers, a higher tariff on the necesstties of life would have placed a woeful burden on the poor man in the conditions which the war abroad has brought about.

By the Underwood law this administration has taken the tariff out of politics; by the new tariff commission it proposes to take politics out of the tariff. The Man. Americanism and peace, preparedness and prosperity, -these are the issue upon which the Democratic party stands, and the heart of Democracy swells with pride. tha is more than pride of party, as Le hails the man, who has asserted this Americanism, assured this peace, advocated this preparedness and produced this prosperity.
