Continuing, he said: "Of that generation of men, to whom we owe so much, the man to whom we owe the most is, of course, Lincoln. Part of our debt to him is because he forecasted our present struggle and saw the way out: He said: " 'I hold that while man exists it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.' And, again, 'Labor is prior to and independent of capital; capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed but for labor. Labor is the superior of capital and deserves much higher consideration. Capital has its rights, which are as worthy of protec tion as any other rights. Nor should this lead to a war upon the owners of property. Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; is a positive good in the world. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work dili gently and build one for himself, thus by example showing that his own shall be safe from violence when built.' Capital and Labor. "It seems to me that in these words Lincoln took substantially the attitude that we ought to take; he showed the proper sense of proportion in his rela tive estimates of capital and labor, of humanrights and property rights. Above all, in this speech, asin many others, he taught a lesson in wise kind liness and charity; an indispensable les son to us of today. But this wise kind liness and charity never weakened his arm or numbed his heart. "We cannont afford weakly to blind ourselves to the actual conflict which faces u today. The issue is joined, and we must fight or fail. "In every wise struggle for human betterment one of tlie main objects and ofJfcn the only object, has been to achieve in larger measure equality, of opportunity. "In the struggle for this great end, nations rise from barbarism to civili zation, and through it peoples press forward from one stage of enlighten ment to the next. One of the chief fac tors in progress is the destruction of special privilege. The essence of any struggle for healthy liberty has al ways been and must always be to take from some one man or class of men the right to enjoy power, or wealth, or po sition, or immunity, which has not been earned by service to this or their fel lows. Struggle Against Power. "At many stages in the advance of humanity, this conflict between the men who possess more than they have earn ed and the men who have earned more than they possess, is the central con dition of progress. In our day it ap pears as the struggle of free men to gain and hold the right of self-government into machinery for defeating the popular will. At every stage and un der all circumstances the essence of the struggle is to equalize opportunity, destroy privilege and give to the life and citizenship of every individual the highest possible value both to himself and to the commonwealth. Practical equality of opportunity for all citizens, when we achieve it, will have two great resuts. First, every man will have a fair chance to make of himself all that in him lies, to reach the highest point to which his capaci ties, unassisted by special privilege of his own and unhampered by the special privileges of others, can carry him, and to get for himself and family substan tially what he has earned. Second, equality of opportunity means that the commonwealth will get from every cit izen the highest service of which he Is capable. No man who carries the bur den of the special privileges of anoth er can give to the commonwealth that service to which it is fairly entitled. Change Rules of the Came. "I stand for the square deal. But when I saw that 1 am for the square deal, I mean not merely that I stand for fair play under the present rules of the game, but that I stand for having those rules changed so as to work for a more substantial equality of oppor tunity, and of reward for equally good service. "This means that our government, na tional and state, must be freed from the sinister influen.ee or control of spe cial interests. Exactly as the special Interests of cotton and slavery threat ened our political integrity before the civil war, so now the great special business interests too oftan con trol and corrupt the men Cnd meth ods of government of their own profit. AVe mnst drive the special Interest out of politicK. That Ik one ot our tasks today. Every special interest Is entitled to justice full, fair, and com plete but not one is entitled to a vote In congress, a voice on the bench, or to representation in any public office. The constitution guarantees protection to property, anil we must make that prom ise good. Ilat it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation. The- True Conservative. ( "The true friend of property, the true conservative, is he who insists that property shall be the servant and not the master of the commonwealth; who insists that the creature of man's mak ing shall be the servant and not the master of the man who made it. The citizens of the United States must ef fectively control the mighty commer cial forces which Lhey have themselves called into being. , "There can be no effective control of corporations while their political ac tivity remains. To put an- end to it will be neither a short nor an easy task, but it can be done. "We must have complete and effect ive publicity of corporate affairs so that the people may know beyond peradven ture whether the corporations obey the law and whether their management entitles them to the confidence of the public. It is necessary that laws should be passed to prohibit the use of cor porate funds directly or indirectly for political purposes; it is still more nec essary that such laws should be thor oughly enforced. Corporate expendi tures for political purposes, and espe cially such expenditures by public ser vice corporations, have supplied one of the principal sources of corruption in our political affairs. Government Supervision. "It has become entirely clear that we must have government supervision of the capitalization not only of public service corporations, including partic ularly railways, but of all corporations doing an interstate business. I do not wish to see the nation forced into own ership of the railways if it can posstbly be avoided, and the only alternative Is thoroughgoing and effective regulation which shall be based on n full knowl. edge of all the facts, Including a phys ical valuation of the property. This physical valuation is not needed, or at lerist Is very rarely needed, for fixinc Page One.) rates; but it is needed as the basis of honest government. "We have come to recognize that franchises should never be granted ex cept for a limited time, and nevc with out proper provision for compensation to the public. It Is my personal belief that the same kind and degree of con trol and supervision which should be exercised over public service corpora tions should be extended also to combi nations which control necessaries f life, such ns meat, oil and coal, or which deal in them on nn Important scale. "I believe that the officer, and es pecially the directors, of corporations, should be held personally responsible when any corporation breaks the law. Control the Combines. "Combinations in industry are the re sult of an imperative economic law which cannot be repealed by political legislation. The effort at prohibiting all combinations has substantially fail ed. The way out lies" not in attempt ing to prevent such combinations, but in completely controlling them in the interest of the public welfare. For that purpose the federal bureau of corpora tions is an agency of the first impor tance. Its power and therefore its ef ficiency, as well as that of the inter state commerce commission, should be largely increased. We have a right to expect from the bureau of corporations and from the Interstate commerce com mission a very high grade of public service. V ? -hoiiM :is sue of the proper conduct of our interstate rnil- jways and 'he prDpor management cf interstate business as we are now sure of the conduct and management of the national banks. The Hepburn act and the amendment to that act in the' shape in which it finally passed congress at the last session, represent a long step in advance; and we must go yet further. Tariff Must Be Revised. ' "There is a widespread belief among our people that, under the. methods of making tariffs which have hitherto ob tained, the special interests are too in fluential. Probably this is tru of both the big interests and the Httfe- inter ests. These methods have put a pre mium on selfishness, and naturally the selfish big interests have got more than the selfish small interests. Tie duty of congress is to p.ovide a meth od by which the 'ncerest of the "vshole people shall be all that receives con sideration. To this end there must be an expert tariff commission, wholly re moved from the possibility of political pressure or of improper business influ ence. Such a commission can find out the real difference between cost of production, which is mainly the differ ence of labor cost here and abroad. As fast as its recommendations are made, I believe in revising one schedufe at a time. A general revision of the tariff almost inevitably leads to log-rolling, and the subordination of the general public interest to local and special in terests. "The absences of effective state, and especially national, restraint upon un fair money-getting has tended to create a small class of enormously wealthy and economically powerful man. whose rchief object is to hold and increase their power. The prime need is to J change tlie conditions which ' enable these men to accumulate power which is not for the general welfare that they should hold or exercise. We grudge no man a fortune which represents hl9 own power and sagacity, when exercised with entire regard to the welfare of his fellows. But the" fortune must be honorably obtained and well used. "3To man should receive n dollar un less that dollar has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should represent a- dollar's -worth of service rendered. The really big fortune, the swollen for- i tune, by the mere fact of its size, ac quires qualities which differentiate It in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore, I believe in a grad uated income tax on big fortunes, and in another tax which is far more easily collected and far more effective a graduated inheritance tax on big for- tunes, property safeguarded -sCainst evasion, . and increasing rnfrdly in amount with theisii"'estate. "The people of the United States suf fer from periodical financial panics to a degree substantially unknown among the other nations "which approach us in financial strength.
