OF 1916. In this point OF view we regard the
result Of vital impo,.ance-as officially sealing
the ale Of Protective Tariff, and firmly estab-
fishing the present wise and genial revenue sys-

Address, fully vindica,ed The advantages OF the
Tariff of 46, and slaked themselves upon it The
Wings accepted The challenge, aud went iuto the
battle with .."the Tariff Of 1912" on their buck
lers. The large Wing meeting in Philadelphia
last week, Joseph r. Ingersoll in the Chair
avowed The increase OF duties as one Of the most
leading points Of The contest; and adopted The
following sophislical ard false resolution:
