ing Of Comm ssioner Peck's report he said:
1T seems to be crime and indictable
offense for any man to testify to the pros
perity of this country. The free trade
maxim. as taught in colleges, is to buy
where you can buy the cheapest. give

can pay the easiest and that is where
labor wins its highest reward-in the
United States. The tariff of 1890 was
slaughtered when it was only four weeks
old-not old enough to speak for itself. 1t
is two years old tomorrow and IT is
speaking for itself in this grand new mill

ago that we could not make watches. but
to-day three fOurths of the watches in
America are ticking hail Columbia"
