revision Of the tariff laws as viii remove
their iniquitious inequalities, tighten their

tional and equitable basis. But In making
reduction In taxes, IL is not proposed to In.
! iure any domestic industries, but rather TO
! promote their healthy growth. From the
| foundation of this government tN taxes
! collected ut the custom houses have been
the chief source OF federal revenues. Such
they must continue to be. Moreover,
many industries have come to rely upon
/ legislation for successful continuance, so
that any change of law must be at every
step regardful OF the labor and capital thus
involved. The process of reform must be
subjective in the execution OF this plain
| dictate Of justice.
We denounce the Mckinley tariff law,
enacted by the fifty. first congress as the
eliminating attIocity OF class legislation
