that certain provisions which, in their bear
ing seem to me trenchant and sudden be- |
yond the calls of the occasion, have been |
allowed to remain as parts OF this BILL
Were it in my power to except these pro-
visions from the operation of my vote,
would do so; but viewed as whole, as a |
measure to accommodate vast and intri-

Gle diminished restriction of trade with
Increased contributions from it, cannot
resist the impression that the bill is more
equal, more tempered, and more Just than
the act of 1912, which it supersedes. -
That it deals with some pursuits and re-
sources of my native Commonwealth less
kindly than she might well expect, does
not relieve me from my duty, but only
makes its performance personally reluctant
and painful.
In strict concord with the letter and
spirit of the constitution, the Vice Presi-
dent Of of the United Safes, now called up
on to act, is the direct agent and represent
tative of the whole people. In advance, and
dependent upon contingent results, it is per-
fecty competent to this, his national con-
stituency, to give instructions, and to re.
ceive pledges for their execution. On
this Identical subject of a tariff of duties
on imports, whatever may have beer tbc. !

instructions that were ferm2TIIy announced.
and my own good faith stands invioIable
TO pledge voluntarily given. If by this
