We are now in a condition of pros perity unparalleled not merely in our own history, but in the history of any other nation. This prosperity is deep rooted and stands on a tirni basis ba cause it is due to the fact that the aver age American lias in him the stuff out of which victors are made in the great industrial contests of the present day, just as in the great military contests of tho past, and because he is now able to use and develop his qualities to best advantage under our well established economic system. We are winning headship among the nations of the world because our people are able to keep their high average of individual citizenship and show their mastery in the hard,, complex, pushing life of the age. There will be fluctuations from time to time In our prosperity, but it will continue to grow just so long as we keep up this high average of indi vidual citizenship and permit it to work out its own salvation under proper economic legislation. The present phenomenal prosperity has been won under a tariff which was made In accordance with certain fixed and definite principles, the most impor tant of which is an avowed determina tion to protect the interests of the American producer, business man, wage worker and farmer alike. The general tariff policy to which, without regard to changes In detail, I believe this country is irrevocably committed is fundamentally based upon ample recognition of the difference between the cost of production—that is, the cost of labor—here and abroad and of the need to see to it that our laws shall in no event afford advantage in our own market to foreign industries over American industries, to foreign capital over American capital, to foreign labor over our own labor. This country has and this country needs better paid, bet ter educated, better fed and better clothed workingmen, of a higher type than are to be found in any foreign country. It has audit needs-a higher, more vigorous and more prosperous type of tillers of the soil tha,p is pos sessed by any other country. The busi ness men, the merchants and manu facturers and the managers! of the transportation interests show t<he same superiority when compared wtth men of their type abroad. The events of tho last few years have shown how skillfully the leaders of American in dustry use in international business competition the mighty industrial weapons forged for them by the re sources of our country, the wisdom of our laws and the skill, the inventive genius and tho administrative capacity of our people. It Is of course a mere truism to say tl.at we want to use everything In our power to foster the welfare of our en tire body politic. In other words, we need to treat the tariff as a business proposition from the standpoint of the interests of the country as a -whole and not with reference to the temporary needs of any political party. It is al most as necesssary that our policy should be stable as that it should be wise. A nation like ours could not long stand the ruinous policy of read justing its business to radical changes in the tariff at short intervals, espe cially when, as now, owing to the im mense extent and Variety of our prod ucts, the tariff schedule's carry rates of duty on thousands of different articles. Sweeping, and violent changes in such a tariff, touching so vitally the inter ests of all of us, embracing agricul ture, labor, manufactures and com merce, would be disastrous in any event, and they would be fatal to our present well being if approached on the theory that the principle of the protective tariff was to be abandoned. The business world—that is, the entire American world—cannot afford, if it has any regard for its own welfare, even to consider the advisability of abandoning the present system. Vet, on the other hand, where the industrial conditions so frequently ■hange, as with us must of necessity >e the case, it is a matter of prime im lortnnce that we should be able from ime to time to adapt our economic pol y to the changed conditions. Our in should be to preserve the policy a protective tariff, in which the ua- tioTas a whole has acquiesced, and vetwherever and whenever necessary to Aango the duties In particular para- . graThs or schedules as matters of leg- Islaive detail if such change is de- j maided by the interests of the nation I as ij whole. I In making any readjustment there j are certain important considerations wlilfti cannot be disregarded. If a tar iff l(w has on the whole ■worked well, and if business has prospered under it | and Is prospering, it mny be better to endife some inconveniences and in-, equities for a time than by making chanies to risk causing disturbance i and (erhaps paralysis in the industries and iusiness of the country. The fact that ihe change In a given rate of duty may je thought desirable does not set tle tile question whether it is advisa ble t« make the change immediately. Every tariff deals with duties on tiiou sandsof articles arranged in hundreds of pamgraphs and in many schedules. These duties affect a vast number of interejts, which are often conflicting. If neu-ssary for our welfare, then, of course: congress must consider the questUn of changing the law as a whole jor changing any given rates of duty, but we must remfcmber that whenever even a single schedule is considered some Interest will appear to deuinnd a change in almost every scheduk' In the law, and when it comes to upsetting the schedules generally the effect upon the business interests of the country would be ruinous Presldett Itooscvelt at Minneapolis April 4.
