would like TO- the questions connected with the tariff
| do not believe that the production OF thousands Of
millions in figures carries with it any idea to the man
who sits and listens. Having tried II myself, ! am

the nan who utters them Iaughter) But there arc
certain things which everybody understand and
bring TO the Level Of good sense. The strongest ar
gumeut to me for the tariff Is not
the piled up wealth Of the United States. but that II
