And have luck from yacht or dory
But when fishing on land it will be
A vastly different story.

That the bait he is fishing with now

The Presidents Error,

oafely asserted that every class which the
president has placed in the list of those
unaffected by tariff reduction would In

sometimes directly. sometimes indirectly.
and often disastronsly Tho entire nrgu.
ment of the president is based ON tho old

is injurious TO oil outside that number

every community and every state. and
which may be now seen throughout the

Strangely enough. tho president neg
lccts, either from design or oversight, TO
notice what effect he serious reduction
of the tariff would have on the /. $40. 256

the railroads. coastwisc vessels, river

president goes in the direction OF the
doctrine laid down in his message. the
moro direct and tho moro deadly is the
assault upon the whole organization of
