Is il really SOL The Tariff of 1912 was passed by
Wing Congress, at time ofgenera embarrassment
aud depression. Ever since that time it has been de.
nounced as bearing most oppressivey and disastrous

The Age has told US so, week after week, year ia
and year out. tIas coupled its denuncaliOns With
essays against corporations; and the annual messages
of our Governors have been gnrnished with objars''
tory defamation against ''assocmted wealth" Tho
people were told that with the triumph of the Pok
democracy, all corporations would be deprived oil
their ilgo,ten wealth, and their aristocralic pvis
