is earnest as a member OF Congress in
his effort to obtain q prompt and imme
date revision Of the tariff laws. As a
measure needed as well TO foster trade
as to relieve labor of unnecessary op
preston. In this connection he re.
marks:
"The existing tariff was enacted ns a
war measure, intended TO raise revenue
at any cost. ltsucceeded IN its purpose.
To day it produces $50 600 600 annual.
ly more than Is needed Tor the national
expenditure. To that extent it imposes
an unnecessary burden upon the pro

will lead at once to the extension Of
many branches Of business and the es.

labor. No injury will be done to any
existing interests, because on these raw
products the freight is always sufficient
TO compensate for the difference of the
rate OF wages prevailing in this country

products are imported. MANY Of these
raw materials are needed for mixing

branches of industry cannot be success

thus imported will enable an additional
quantity of our own materials TO be
used. and in this way the market for
these materials and the area for the en-
pIoyment of labor will be greatly and
steadily enlarged. The abolition Of the
duty on raw materials will then enable
US TO make a corresponding reduction
in the duties imposed on the mauufao.
tured products Of which they are
component part. This reduction of duty
on the manufactured product will lead
TO lower prices, which in their turn will
produce a larger conaumption, whereby
the area Of employment will again be
