a Plain, Cold Argument, Unadorned by
Striking Figures of Speech or Flowers

necessary and the result interesting as
showing the weakness or the strength of
the position taken.
Applied to the question of q protective
tariff such reduction becomes full of in
terest as showing the i~mpregnable strong
hold the advocates Of the protective sys-
tenn occupy.

and statement of the question thus re
duced.
