are well aware that the people of the
country, the more they see of the practi-
cal operations of the present tariff law
and realize the benefjcient effects of
most of its provisions upon the industrial
and commercial interests of the country,
the better they are satisfied with that
law, have abandoned the idea of boldly
attacking it, as they have declared they
would do, and are now content and say
that al that will be attempted by the
present congress will be to modify
Some of the provisions OF the Mckinley
law" Some of the provisions should be
modified, but the Democrats may be de-
pended upon to select those to tinker
with that embodying the principles of
protection most Immediately and with
which the country are best satisfied.
