Here is Summary of Gov.
Woodrow Wilson’s Speech
Accepting The Nomination
“We must speak,” by way of |
preface, ‘‘not to cateh votes, but
to satisfy the thought and con
science of a people deeply stirred
by the conviction that they have
come to a critical turning point in
their moral and political develop
ment,
The forces of the nation are as
serting themselves against every
form of special privilege and pri
vate contro!, and are seeking big
ger things than thev bave ever
heretofore achieved.
““There are two great things to
do. One is to set up the rule of
justice and of right in such matters
as the taritf, the regulation of the
trusts and the preventicn of mo
nopoly, the adaptation of our
banking and currency laws to the
very uses to which our people
must put them, the treatment of
those who do the daily laborin our
factories and mines and through
out all our great ndustrial and
commercial undertakings, and the
political life of the people of the
Philippines, for whom we hold
governmental power in trust, for
their service, not our own. The
other, the additional duty is the
great task of protecting our people
and our resources and of keeping
open to the whole people the doors
of opportunity through which they
must, generation by generation,
pass if they are to make conquest
of their fortunes in health, in free
dom, in peace, and in contentment,
1n the performance of this second
great duty we are face to face
with questions of conseryv a
tion and of development, questious
of forests and waterpowers and
mines and waterways, of the build
ing of an adequate, marine. We
need no revolution; we need no
excited change; we need only a
new point of view and a method
and spirit of counsel, -
“The tariff question as dealt
with in our time at any rate has
not been tusiness. It has been
politics. Tariff schedules have
been made up for the purpose of
keeping &s large & number as
possible of the rich and influential
manufacturers of the couutry in a
good humor with the republican
party which desired their constant
financial support. The tariff has
become & system of favors, which
the phraseology of the schedule
was often deliberately contrived to
conceal. Who, when you come
down to the hard facts of the mat
ter, have been represented in re
cent years when our tariff sched
ules were being discussed and
determined, not on the floor of
congress, for that is not where
they have been determined, but in
the committee rooms and confer
ences? That is the heart of the
affair. Will you, can you, bring
the whole people into the partner
ship or not? -
““We do dot ignore the fact that
the business of a country like ours
is exceedingly sensitive to changes
in legislation of this kind. 1t bhas
been built up, however illadvised
ly, upon tariff schedules written
in the way I have indicated, and
its foundations must not be too
radica'ly ortoo suddenly discurbed.
When we act we should act with
caution aud prudence, like men
who know what they are about,
and not like those in love with a
theory. It is obvious that the
changes we make should be made
only at such a rate and in such a
way as will least interfere with the
normal and healthful course of
commerce and manufaeture,
“High wages, even when we can
get them, yield us no great com
fort. We used to be better off
with Jess, because a dollar could
buy so much more. The majority
of us have been disturbed to find
ourseives growing poorer. even
though our earnings were slowly
increasing, Prices climb faster
than we can push our earnings up.
We know that they are not fixed
by the competitions of the market,
or by the ancient law of supply
and demand, which is to be found
stated in all the primers of eco
pomics, but by private arrange
ments with regard to what the sup
ply should be and agreements
among the producers themselves.
Those who buy are not even rep
resented by counsel, The high
cost of living is arranged by pri
vate understanding.
“We naturally ask ourselves,
how did these gentlemen get con
trol of these things? Who handed
our economic laws over to them
for legislative and con‘ractual al
ternation? We have in these dis
closures still arother view of the
tariff, still another proof that not
the people of the United States,
but only a very smzll number of
them have been partners in the
legislation. :
““The so-called labor question 18
a question only because we have
not vet found the® rule of right in
adjusting the interests of labor
and capital. Here, again, the seose
of umversal partnership must come
into play if we areto act like
statesmen, as those who serve, not
a class, but a nation.
*“The working people of Ameri
ca, if they must be distinguished
from the minority that constitute
the rest of it, are, of course, the
backbone of the nation. No law
that safeguards their lives, that
improves the physical and moral
conditions under which they live,
that makes theiwr hours ot labor
rat‘onal and tolerable, that gives
them freedom to actin their own
interest and that protects them
where they can not protect them
selves, can properly be regarded
as class legislation or as anything
but as a measure taken in the in
terest of the whole people, whose
partnership in right action we are
trying to establish and make real
and practical. 1t 1s in this spirit
‘that we shall act if we are genuine
spokesmen of the whole country.
“There is another duty which
the demoecratic party has shown
itself great enough end close
enough to the people to perceive
—the duty of the govercment to
share in promoting agricultural,
industris!, vocational education in
every way possible within its con
stitutional powers. No other plat
form has given this intimate vision
of u party’s duty. The nation can
not enjoy its deserved supremacy
in the markets and enterprises ot
the world unless its people are
given the ease and effectiveness
that come only with knowledge
and training. Kducation is par:
of the great task of conservation,
part of the task of renewal and of
perfected power.
““A presidential campaign may
easily degenerate into a mere per
sonal conflict and so lose its real
dignity and siguificance. There is
no indispensable man, The gov
ernment will not collapse and go
to pieces if any one of the gentle
men wno are seeking to be en
trusted with its guidance should
be left at home. But men are in
struments. We are 2s important
as the cause we represent, and in
order to be important must really
represent a cause. 'What is our
cuuse? The people’s cause. That
is easy to say, but what does it
mean? The comrgon as agaipst
any particular interest whatever?
Yes, but that, too, needs transla
tion into acts and policies. We
represent the desire to set up an
unentangled government, a gov
ernment that can not be used for
private purposes, either in the
field of business or in the field of
| politics; a government that will
lnot tolerate the use of the organi
zation of n great party to serve
the personal aims and ambitions
of any individual, and that will
not permit legislation to be em
ployed to further any private in
terest.
