VOL. XXII. Review of Reviews. NEW YORK, OCTOBER, 1900. THE PROGRESS OF THE WORLD. Besides the elaborate and carefully Mr. McKinley's Review of the prepared speeches that the PresiSituation. dential candidates make upon the occasion of their formal notification, it has been the custom for them at a subsequent date to issue a still more elaborate statement in the form of a public letter, expounding their respective party platforms and reviewing the questions at issue in the campaign. Mr. McKinley's letter was dated September 8, and published in the newspapers of Monday, the 10th. It was immediately accepted by all Republican authorities as the most telling document that had thus far appeared since the holding of the great conventions. It was prepared in such a way as to be especially available for use as campaign literature ;" and the Republican 66 No. 4. National Committee will, doubtless, before the middle of October, have distributed millions of copies of it. Mr. McKinley begins by calling detailed attention to the demands of the three parties that are supporting Mr. Bryan for the immediate opening of the mints to the free coinage of silver He pledges the Republican party to the unequivocal maintenance of the gold standard. He sets forth, in a statistical way, what he regards as a flattering condition of the national treasury and the public finances, and dwells upon the marvelous expansion of our foreign trade and the unprecedented general prosperity of the country. He notes the fact that we are now redeeming, with a bond bearing 2 per cent. interest, the bonds that in Mr. Cleveland's adminis tration were bearing as high as 5 per cent. interest. Whereas Congress authorized a war loan of $400,000,000 at the beginning of the war with Spain, it proved necessary to issue only $200,000,000. Mr. McKinley thinks that it will be feasible for Congress, at its next session, to reduce taxation very materially. Certain Business Questions. He discusses the question of our mer chant marine, declaring that 91 per cent. of our exports and imports are now carried in foreign ships; and he asserts that we ought to own the ships for our carrying trade with the outside world, and that we ought to build them in American shipyards and man them with American sailors. In connection with this subject of transportation by water, he introduces the topic of an interoceanic canal; and, as to the political aspect of it, he says that our national policy more imperatively than ever calls for its completion and control by this Government; and it is believed that the next session of Congress, after receiving the full report of the commission appointed under the act approved March 3, 1899, will make provisions for the sure accomplishment of this great work." As respects trusts, President McKinley says that honest coöperation of capital is necessary to meet new business condi |
