HUGHES SCORES WILSON'S POLICY [Continued From First Page] power to Impose or collect tariff duties except for the purpose of rev enue." We are told in its present platform that there have been "momentous changes" in the last two years, ana hence, repudiating its former attitude, the Democratic party now declares for a "nonpartisan tariff commis sion." For Scientific Protection But have the "momentous changes" incident to the European war chang ed the constitution of the United States? Is it proposed to use a tariff commission to frame a tariff for rev enue only? Is the opposing party ready to confess that for generations It has misread the constitution? Is that party now prepared to accept the protective principle? Rather, so far as the tariff is concerned, it would appear to be without principle.

I ft 32 North Second Street g TUESDAY EVENING, the sugar duties, its reaffirmation of Y the doctrine of a revenue tariff, its ■ dyestuffs proposal and its formulation in lieu of protective duties of an "anti dumping" provision, the terms of £ which are sufficient to show its in . effective character! The Republican party stands for the j principle of protection. We must ap s ply that principle fairly, without j abuses, in as scientific a manner as possible; and congress should be aid j ed by the investigations of an expert . body. We stand for the safeguard ing of our economic independence, for the development of American in dustry. for the maintenance of Ameri ' can standards of living. We propose - that in the competitive struggle that 5 is about to come the American work f in groan shall not suffer. The Republican party is not a sec tional party. It thinks and plans 5 nationally. Its policies are for the s promotion Of the prosperity of every 5 part of the country, south, east, north r and west. It is not simply a question 1 of a wise adjustment of the tariff m j accordance with sound principle, but i there is also the need in other respects for stable conditions for commercial and industrial progress. If we are to meet effectively the conditions which will arise after the war is over, we must put our house in order. Let it be understood that the public right is to be maintained without fear or favor. But let us show that we can do this without impairing the essential agencies of progress. Muat Aid Honest Enterprise There is no forward movement, no endeavor to promote social justice, which in the first analysis does not rest upon the condition that there shall be a stable basis for honest enterprise. This subject has several important phases to which at this time I can al lude only briefly. We should place our transportation system on a sure foot ing. We should be able wisely to ad just out; regulative powers so "that the fundamental object of protecting the public interest can be fully secured without uncertainties or conflicts and without hampering the development and expansion of transportation facili ties. The national end may be accom plished without the sacrifice of any in terest that is essentially local, or with out weakening public control. Our present system is crude and in adequate. Moreover, in the severe eco nomic struggle that is before us. and in seeking as we should to promote our productive Industries ana to expand our commerce—notably our foreign com merce—we shall require the most effi cient organization, quite as efficient as that found in any nation abroad. There must be no unnecessary wastes and no arbitrary obstructions. We have determined to cut out. root and branch, monopolistic practices, but we can do this without hobbling en terprise or narrowing the scope of legi timate achievement. Again, we must build up our merchant marine. It will not aid to put the government into competition with private owners. That, it seems to me, is a counsel of folly. A surer way of destroying the prom ise of our foreign trade could hardly be devised. It has well been asked: Does the government intend to operate at a profit or at a loss? We need the encouragement and protection of gov ernment for our shipping industry, but it cannot afford to have the government as a competitor. Vrgea Protection of I.abor Interests We stand for the conservation of the just interests of labor. We do not de sire production, or trade, or efficiency In either, for its own sake, but for the bet terment of the lives of human be ings. We shall not have any last ing Industrial property,' unless we buttress our industr'al endeavors by adequate means for the protection of health; for the elimination of unnecea- HARRISBURG Qs33sS££ TELEGRAPH sary perils to life and limb; for the safeguarding of our future through proper laws for protection of women and children in industry: for increasing opportunities for education and train ing. We should be solicitous to inquire carefully into every grievance, remem bering that there are few disputes which cannot easily be adjusted if 1 there be an impartial examination of I the facts. We make common cause in this country, not for a few. but for all; and our watchword must be co-opera tion. not exploitation. No plans will be adequate save as they are instinct with genuine democratic sympathy. I stand for adequate federal work -1 men's compensation laws, dealing not only with the employes of government, but with those employes who are en gaged in inter-State commerce, and are subject t othe hazard of inqury, so that those activities which are within the sphere of the constitutional author ity of Congress may be dealt with un der a suitable law. For Conservation of Heaourcea We promise to promote by every practicable means our agricultural In terests. and we include in this program an effective system of rural credits. We favor the wise conservation of our naturai resources. We desire not only that they shall be safeguarded, but that they shall be adequately developed and used to the utmost public advantage. We turn to other considerations of important policy. One of these is our attitude toward the Philippines. That, I may say. is not a question of self interest. We have assumed Interna tional obligations which we should not permit ourselves to evade. A breach of trust is nt an admissible American polio*, though our opponents have seemed to consider It such. We should administer government in the Philip pines with a full recognition of our in ternational duty, without partisanship, with the aim of maintaining the high est stands of expert administration, and In the interest of the Filipinos. This is a matter of national honor. Would PSSK Woman Suffrage I ludorne the declaration In the plat form In favor of woman suffrage. I do not consider It necessary to re view the arguments usually advanced on the one side or the other, as my own convic tions proceed from a somewhat differ ent point of view. Some time ago, a consideration of our economic conditions and tendencies, of the position of women In gainful occu pations, of the nature and course of the demand, led me to the conclusion that the granting of suffrage to women is inevitable. j Opposition may delay, but in my Judgment cannot defeat this movement. Nor can I see any advantages in the delay which can possibly offset the dis advantages which are necessarily in cident to the continued agitation. Facts should be squarely met. We shall have a constantly intensified ef fort and i. distinctly feminine move ment constantly perfecting its organi zation to the subversion of normal po litical issues. We shall have a struggle increasing in bitterness, which I believe to be inimical to our welfare. If women are to have the vote, as I believe they are, it seems to me entire ly clear that in the interest of the pub lic life of this country, the contest should be ended promptly. I favor the vote for women. Stand* by Civil Service I.aws Confronting every effort to im prove conditions is the menace of In competent administration. It is an extraordinary notion that democracy can be faithfully served by inexpert ness. Democracy needs exact knowl edge. special skill and thorough train ing in its servants. I have already spoken of the disregard of proper standards, in numerous instances, in appointments to the diplomatic ser vice. Unfortunately, there has been a simi lar disregard of executive responsi bility in appointments to important ad ministrative positions in our domestic service. Even with a respect to tech nical bureaus, the demands of science have been compelled to yield to the demands of politics. We have erected against importuni ties of spoilsmen the barriers of the civil service laws, but under the pres ent administration enactments provid ing for the creation of large numbers of places have been deliberately re moved from the merit system. The principles of our civil service laws have been shamelessly violated. We stand for fidelity to these principles and their consistent application. And. further. It is our purpose that administrative chiefs shall be men of special compe tence. eminently quailed for their Im portant work. Time For Budget System Our opponents promised "economy, but they have shown a reckless extrava gance. They have been wasteful and profligate. It is time that we had fiscal reform. We demand a simple business like budget. I believe it Is only through a responsible budget, proposed by the executive, that we shall avoid financial waate and secure proper administra tive efficiency, and a well-balanced consideration of new administrative proposals. We live In a fateful hour. In a true « AUGUST 1, 1916. sense, the contest for the preservation • of the nation is never ended. AVe must ! still be imbued with the spirit of heroic i sacrifice which gave us our country and ; brought us safely through the days of i evil war. We renew our pledge to the ancient ideals of individual liberty, of oppor tunity denied to none because of race or creed, of unswerving loyalty. We have a vision of America pre pared and secure; strong and just; equal to her task; an exemplar of the ca pacity and efficiency of a free people. I indorse the platform adopted by the j convention and accept its nomination.
