The Money Question.
Phllarlelphln.Jtino 0. Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge, permanent chairman of
the convention, delivered the following
address at the opening of today's ses
sion: One of the trrcatest lionors that can fall to
any American In public life li tn be called to

cannot realize nor can I expiw. the gratitude
which I feel to you for bavins conferred It upon
me. I can only My to ou. In the Mniiilret
phrase, Uiat I thank jou from the bottom of my
heart. Q'llrcear that I am, 1 am ctcii poor In
thanks, and jet I thank you,
We meet. main to nominate the next president
of the c'nitcd Mate, 1'our years bate pawed
since we nominated the imldlcr anil statesman
vriio is now president, und who is boon to enter
upon his second term. Mine the dtll war no
presidential term lias been so crowded wi'.h
trrtat events as that which is now drawing to a
close. They have been four memorable years.
To Ilepublicans they show a recoid of promise
kept, of work done, of unforeseen questions met
and answered. To the Democials they have
been jrencrom In the exhibition of unfulfilled pre
dictions, in the ruin nf their hopes of calamity
and in futile opposition to the fotces of the
times and the aspirations of the American peo.
pic. I wih I could iidil that they bad been
equally Instructive to our opponents; but, while
It Is true that the Democrats, like the Ilourbons,
learns nothlnn, it Is only too evident that the
familiar coniparl-on cannot be completed, for
they forget a crcat ileal whlih it would lie well
for them to icinember.
CI.KVKLAND'S AI1MINISTHATION.
In 1R07 we took the uovernment and the
country from the hands of 1'ic.sident Cleveland.
H1 party had abandoned him and were jolnrcl
to their idols, of which he was no lonper one.
l)urlnB the last yeais of his term we had pre
sented to us the melancholy speclario of a presi
dent tr.tiw; to trotcrn without 11 party. The re
suit was that bis policies were In ruin, legisla
tion was at a standstill, ami public nIT.iirs were
in a perilous and Incohcicnt condition. l'aity
responsibility bad vanished, and with it all pw
siblllty of Intelligent action, demanded by the
country at home and abroad. It was an inter
esting but by no means singular display of Dem
ocratic unfitness for the practle.il work of gov
ernment. To the political student it was in
stitutive; to the country it was extremely pain
ful: to business, disastrous.
We replaced tills political chaos with a presi
dent in thoiniiRli accord with his party, and the
machinery of government began again to move
smoothly and cftectlvcl.v. Thus we kept at once
our promise of better and more efficient adminis
tration. In tour months after the inauguration
of President McKinlev we had passed a tariff hill.
Kor ten years the artificial agitation, in behalf
of what was hnmorouly called tarilt retorm, und
of what was really free tude, had kept business
in a ferment, and had brought a treasury deficit,
paraljzcd indixtiies, depression, panic, and,
finally, continuous bad times to a degree n.'Vcr
befoie imagined. Would ou know the result of
our tariff legislation, look about you! Would
ou measure its success, recollect that it is no
lcmgcr an issue, that our opponents, free tiadcis
as they are. do not dare to make it an IsMie,
that there is not a state in the I'nlon today
which could be carried for free trade against
protection. N'cver was a policy moie fully jus
tified by its works, never was a pioinlse made by
any party more absolutely fulfilled.
Tin: jioxky oi'kstio.v.
Dominant among the Issues of four jears ago
was that of our monetary and financial system.
The Ilepubllcan party promised to uphold our
credit, to protect our currency from revolution,
and to maintain the gold standard. We have
done so. We have done more. We hae been
better than our piomiscs. Falling to secure,
after honest effort, any encouragement for inter
national bimetallism, we licit passed a law
stiengthening the gold standard and planting it
more firmly than ever in our financial system,
improving our banking laws, liuttiessing our
credit, and lefunding the public debt at 2 per
cent. Interest, the lowest rate in the world. It
was a great work well done. The only argu
ment the Democrats can'adtance today in their
own behalf on the money question is that a lie
publican senate, in the ctcnt of Democratic suc
cess, would not permit the repeal of a ItepiiMI
can law. This is a piecious argument when
looked at with considerate etes, and quite tvmtby
ef the intellects which produe-cd it. Apply it
generally. I pon this theory, because we bate
defeated the soldiers of Spain and sunk her ships,
we can with safety dispense witii the uniiy ami
navy which did its work.
Take another example. There has been a fire
In a great city; it lias been cheeked and ex
tinguished, therefore let us abolish the tire ile
partment and cease to insure our homes. Dis
trust in our ccrrencv, the dread of rliungc, tho
deadly fear of a debased standard weie i.iging
four .tears ago and business lay piostrate be
fore them. Republican supiemacy and Republi
can legislation have exlli.giilshed the firm nf
doubt and fear and business has ilsen trium
phant from the ashes. Therefore abolish jour
fire department, turn out the Ilepublicans ami
put in potter the inceniliarics who lighted the
fames and trust to whit remains of ltepubiiriii
control to avert fresh disaster. The pioposltlon
is its onn refutation.
The supremacy of the parly that has sated the
standard of sound money and guarded it by law
Is as necessary for its senility ami for the exist
crce of hoi est wages and of business contidentc
now as it was in ISTil. The moment the Ucpuhll
can party passes tiom power. and the p.ulv of free
silier and flat paper rennet in, stable ciiricncv
and the gold slandaid, the stuid.ud of the civil'
ired work, aie in Imminent and deadly peril.
Souml currency and a steaily standard of value
are today safe only In Republican hands.
HAWAIIAN' INLANDS.
Uut there were still other questions in ls'jo.
We had already thwarted tho efforts of the Cleve
land administration to thiow the Hawaiian
Islands back to their dethroned (Jueen, and to
give Kngland a foothold for her cables in the
gioup, We then said that we would settle finally
the Hawaiian question. We bate done so. The
tiaditlonal American policy has been carried out.
The flag of the I'nlon floats today over the cross
road of the 1'acllic.
cvfiA is ritKi:.
We promised to deal with the Cuban queslion.
Again comes the reply wc hate done so. The
long agony of the island Is otcr. Cuba is free.
Hut this great work brought with it events nnj
issues which no man bad foicsccn. tor which no
party creed had provided a policy. The crisis
came, bringing war in Its train. The Ilepubll
can piesldent and the Republican congress met
the new trial in the old spirit. Wc fought the
war with Spain. The result is history, known
Of all men, Wc lute the perspectite now of
only a short two jeara, and jet how clear and
fright the great facts stands out, like mountain
peaks against the sky, while the gathering dark
ness of a just oblivion is creeping fast otcr tho
low grounds where lie forgotten the trivial
things the criticisms and the fault-findings
which seemed so huge when we still lingered
among them. Here they are, these great faeU:
A war of a hundred days, with many victories

snd no defeats: with no prisoners taken from in
and no advsneo stayed! with a triumphant out
come, startling In its completeness and in its
world-wide meaning, Was ever a war more
Justly entered upon, more qulikly fought, moro
fully won, more thorough in Its results? Cubt
is free. Spain has been clrltcn from the western
hemisphere, Fresh glory has come to our arms
ami crowned our flag. It was tho work of tho
American people, but the Ilepubllcan party was
their Instrument. Hate wc not the right to say
that here, too, even as In tic days of Abraham
Lincoln, we have fought a Rood tight, wo hate
kept the faith, wc hate flnjhcd the work?
POIeTO ItICO AND rilti.llTlM'.S.
War, lionet er, Is rtcr like the sword of Alex
ander. It cuts the knits, It Is a gieat soltent
and brings many results not to be foreseen. The
world forces unchained In war pcrfnim in hours
the work of years of quiet. Spain sued lor
peace. How was that peace to be made? The
answer to this great question had to be given
by the president of the I'nlted States. Wc were
victorious in Cuba, In I'orto lllco, In the Phil
ippines. Should we give those Islands back to
Spain? Never! was the president's reply. Would
any American wish that he had answered other
wise? Should wc hand them otcr to some other
power? Neterl was again the answer. Would
our pride and pelbrespeet us a nation have sub
mitted to any other reply? Should we turn the
islands, where wo had destroyed all existing sov-

erelgntv. loose upon tho world to be a prey to
domestic anarchy and the helpless spoil of otno
other nation? Again the inevitable negative.
Again the president answered as the nation lie
irprrscnted would have had him answer. He
boldly took the is'ands took them, knotting
well the burden and responsibility; look them
from a deep sense of duty to ourseltes and cith
ers, guided bv a just foresight as to our future
In the cast, and with an entire faith In the abil
ity of the Ameiiean people to grapple with the
new tak. When futuie conventions point to
the deeds by which the ltepuhlic.111 party lias
made history they will proclaim with especial
pride that under 11 Republican adniiiiistialion the
war of lS'lS was fought, and that the peace with
Spain was the wnik of William MiKliilcy.
So nibili for the past. We ate proud ot it,
but we do not expect to live upon it, for the
Republican pally Is preeminently the ptrty cf
action, mid its match is et.r toiward. Wc me
lot so made that we call be content to ictieat
or to 111.uk time. 'I he traditions ol the early
days of our pally are saered to us, and aie h s
lages glten lei the .Mimical! people that wc will
not be uiiwcrlhy of the gieat leaders who nave
gone. The deeds' of jcterd.i.v are in their lorn
a pledge, anil a proof that t.hat wc pi utilise we
peiform. and that the people who put faith in
our dei iarations in IS'si were not deteited. and
inav place the same trust in us in l'HXI. Hut our
pathway lias netcr lain among elc.ul issues, imr
hate wo won our victories and made history by
eleltlng in political gratejards. We are the
pait.t of today, with cheerful ycsleidays and
confident toinoiiowa. The living picsont is ours,
the present of" prosperity and aitlvity in busi
ness, of good wages and quiik payments, of la
bor omph.toil and capital Invested, of sunshine
in the market place and the stir ot abounding
life in the workshop mid on the- farm. It is
with this that we hate leplatcd the depression,
(lie doubts, the dull business, the low waq-cs. the
idle labor, the frightened capital, the d.uk clouds
which overhung industry and agricullure In 1rt.
This Is what we would picsertc, so far as sound
government and wi.e legislation can ilo it. I'lii.,
is what wc biouglit to the country four yean
ago.. This is what we effer now.
Tin: puott.ctivi: svsrai.
Again we promise that the protective s.vslcm
shall be maintained, and that our great iniltis
trial interests shall go on their way unshaken by
the diie fear of tariff agitation and of changing
duties. Again we declare that we will guard
the national credit, uphold a sound currency
based on gold, mid keep the wages of the work
ingmaii and the rutiiprise of the man of business
flee fioin that most deadly of all evils, u t'.ue
tuatliig stand ird of tabic. The clrrU.it which
made this gieat country In a time of profound
peace a boirovtcr of money to meet its 1 111 rent
expenditures has been replaced by abundant rev
tenue, hilngiitg a surplus, due alike to pins
peiity and to wise legislation, so ample that
we can now safely piomlsc a huge reduction of
taxation without imperiling our credit or risk
ing a result to loans.
We ale prepaied to take steps to levive and
build up our meichaiit marine, and thus put into
American pockets the money paid for cinrylng
American freights. Out of the abundant re
sume c. width our financial legislation has
biouslit us, we will build the Isthmian canil,
and lay the cables which will help to turn the
cuiieut of eastern tiade to the (iolden (iate.
We- aie 011 good teims with all nations, and
mean to lemaln so, while wc- lemiisc to insuio
our peace and safety by maintaining the Slonioe
eioctiine, by ample coast defenses, and by build
ing up a naty which no one can challenge with
linpunlt.t.
NKW PROIII.K.MS.
The new pioblcins biouglit by the war we face
with confidence in ourseltes and a still deeper
confidence In the American people, who will
deal justly and rightly with the Islands which
hate lomo into their chatge. The outcry against
our new possessions is as empty as the cant
about "militarism" and "imperialism" is de
told of sense and meaning. Regard for a mo
ment those who are loudest in shrieking that
the American people aie about to enter upon a
career of oppression and that the Republic is in
clanger. Have they been in the past the guar
dians of fieedotn? Is safety fur liberty no- to
be found most surelj in the party which was
the defender of domestic slatery? Is true fice
dom to lie secured' by the ascendancy of the
paity which beneath our very eyes seeks to
establish through infamous laws the despotic rule
of a small and unscrupulous band of usurpers in
Kentucky, who trample there not upon the rights
nf the black men only but nf the whites, slid
which seeks to extend the same system to Norlh
Carolina and Sllssourl? Has It suddenly come
to pass that the Democratic party which today
aims whenever it acquires power to continue in
office by crushing out honest elections and popu
lar rule; has it. Indeed, come to pass, I say,
that that party is the chosen protector of liber
ty? If It were so the outlook would be black, in-
ever, popular in price

he was true, to tho rights of nun ami to human

The liberators may bo trusted to watch otcr

tho pledge we made to her, and will gulds her
along the road to Independents and stable gov

We wilt be faithful to the trust imposed upon

Is confided in Cuba, or elsewhere, tvrong-doerJ
shall bo found men not only bad In morals,
but dead to their duty as Americans, and false
to the boner of our name wc will punish these
basest of criminals to the .extent of the law.
For the Islands of Hawaii and Porto lllco the
political problem has been solved, anil by Re
publican legislation they have l-ccn given self
government, and arc peaceful and prosperous un
der tho rule of the United Slates.
PHII.IPPIXi: ltUllXI.IOX.
In the Philippines wc were met by rebellion,
fomented by a self-seeking adventurer and
usurper. The duty cf the president was to re
press that rebellion, to see to It that the au
thority of the fulled Mates, as rightful and m
ilghteous in Manila as in Philadelphia, was ac
knowledged anil obejed. That harsh and painful
elutv President McKinlev has performed firmly
and Justly, eager tu resort In gentle ineasuies
wherever possible, unyielding when treachery and
violence made force iiccess.uy. t'nlike the cp
ponents of expansion, wo do not regard the sol
diers of Otis and Law-ton and MacAithur as
"an enemy's camp." In our eyes they are the
soldiers of the United Slates, tliev are our aim,
and wo believe in them and will sustain thein.
liven now the Democrats arc planiilng.if they get
control of the house to cut nir nppropii.itions
for tho annv, and thus con pel the withdrawal
of our troops fioni the Philippines. '1 he lesult
would be to fnree the retiieinint of sui-h sol
dieis as would remain, in Manila, and their
retieat would be the signal lor tho mass.u n
and plunder of the gri'.it beily of the peace fill
inhabitants of tho islands who have trusted to
us to protect and guanl them. Such .111 cteiit
would be ititamv. Is the government, is the
house, to lie given over to n party capable ef
suili a policy V Shall they not lather be ci.
tiustcd to the party which will sustain the army
and suppress the brigands and guerrillas who,
under prelum' of war, arc now adding so fieely
tn the list of ctIiiics committed in the name cf
Utility I13- usurpers and pieleders, and who,
Imiiyed up by Demoeiatlc picmiscs to keep up a
liigliw.it man's warfare in hope of Demueiatlc
success in November? It Is for the Ameiiean
people to dee ide this c.i'cstiou. Our position is
plain.
RESTORATION OF PKACK.
The restoration of peace and order now so
nearly reached in Hie Philippine shall bo com
pleted. Civil gov eminent shall be established,
mid the people advanced as lapielly us possible
along the road to entire freedom and to self
got eminent under our flag. Wc will not aban
don our task. Wc will neither suricnder nor
letieat. We will not write failure auoss this
page of our hlstoiy. Wc will do our duty, our
nut noli, 10 111c people 01 me I'liiiippines, aim
strive by every means to give them freedom,
contentment and piospeiity. We hate no belief
in the old slave holders' doctrine that the con
stitution of its own force marches into every
newly-acquired territory, and this doctrine,
which wc cast out in 1MW, wc still reject.
We do not mean tli.ct t lie Philippines shall
come within our tariff system, or beeoine part ot
our body politic. We do mean tliat tliey shall,
under our teaching, learn to govern themselves
and remain under our flag with the l.tigrst pos
sible measure of home mle. We make no hvpo
critical pietense of being interested In the Phil
ippines solely on account of others. While we
regard the welfare of these people as a sacred
trust, we regaul the wclfaie of the American pen
pie first. Wc see our duly to ourseltes as well
as to otheis.
TRADi: EXPANSION.
We lulleve In trade expansion. Ily every legi
timate means within flic province of government
and legislation xvc mean to stimulate the expan
sion of our trade and to open new markets,
(.'icalcst of all maikets is China. Our trade
there is growing by leaps and bounds. Manila,
the prize of war, gives us inestimable advantages
In eleveluping tliat trade. It is Hie comer-stone
of our eastern policy, and the brilliant diplomacy
of John Hay in securing from nil nituins a
guamntee ot our treaty rights and of the open
door in Chun rests upon it. We ask Hie Amer
ican people whether they will throw away tlie.-e
new maikets ami widening opportunities for trade
and commerce by putting in power the Demo
eiatie pirt.i. who seek under cover of u newly
discovered sedlon for the rights of man to
give up these islands of the cist and make
Dewey's victory fruitless?
The choiee lies between this Democratic policy
of reheat and the Republican policy which would
hold tho islands, gite them freedom and pros
perity and enlarge these gte.it opportunities for
ourselves and our posterty. The Demoeiatlc at
titude toward the Philippines rests wholly on
the proposition that the American people hate
neither the capacity nor the honesty to il",il
rightly with these Islanels. They assume that
we shall tail. They fall down and worship a
Chinese half-breed whose name they had niicr
heard three cars ago, and they slander, and
cry down, and ckubt the honor of American sol
die rs and sailors, of admirals and generals, and
public men who have gone In ami out befoie
us during an entire lifetime. We are true to our
own. We have no distrust of the honor, the I111
manilv, the capacity of the American people.
Tu fesd or do otherwise is to doubt omselves,
our government mid our civilization. Wc take
Issue with tho Demounts who would 1.1st rtf
the Philippines because the American people can
not be trusted with them, and we declare that
the American people can be tiiisted to deal
jiisily, wisely and generously with these distant
islands, and will lift them up to a higher pros
perity, a Innacer freedom and a nobler civiliza
tion than they hate ever known. We bate pot
failed elsewhere. Wc shall not fall liyre.
Those are tho questions wo picsent to the
American people In regard to the Philippines.
Do they tvunt such a humiliating change tiiero as
and more attractive.

Democratic victory would bring? Do they want

spark of confidence would inn through etery

lie would make. Moro Important still, we ask
the American people- whether they will put In
th white house the hero cf uncounted platfouns,
the prodigal spend-thrlft of words, the champion
of free silver the opponent of expansion, the
assailant of the courts: or whether they will
retain In the presidency the Union soldier, the
leader of the house of representatives, the trained
statesman who lias Is-irnc victoriously the heavy
burden of the lat four Jears, the champion of
protection and sound inoiiov, the fearless suppor

paii.neas for etery liiimin 111. We do not claim
that any policy we, or anj-one else, can niter
will drive from tho world sorrow and sufTering
and potertj. but we say that, so far as govern
111s lit and legislation can secure the prosperity
and well-being nf the American people, our ad
ministration mid our policies will do it. We

"It is on these facts that we shall ask for

have done is known, and about what we intend

What we promise we will perform. Our old

policies and new opportunities opening before
