 Tariff Reform.
 Coming to tariff he says: "After a hard struggle tariff reform is directly before us. After full discussion our countrymen have spoken in favor of this reform and they have confded the work of it's accomplishment to the hands of those who are solemnly pledged to do it. If there is anything in the theory of representation in pub lie places, of the people and their de- sires, if political officers are really serv- ants of the people, and if political prom ises and professions have any binding force, our failure to give the relief so long awaited will be sheer recreancy. Nothing should intervene to distract our attention or disturb our efforts un. til this reform is accomplished by wise and careful legislation.
 Need of Discrimin ation.
 "While we should staunchly adhere to the principle that only the necessity of revenue justifes the imposition of tariff duties and other federal taxation, and that they should be limited by strict economy, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that conditions have grown up among us, which in justice and fairness, call for discriminating care in the distribution of such duties and taxation as the emergency of our gov ernment actually demands. Manifestly if we are to aid the people directly through tariff reform, one of it's most obvious features should be a reduction in the present tariff charges upon ne- cessities. The benefits of such reduc- tion would be palpa ole and substantial, seen and felt by thousands, who would be better fed, better clothed and better sheltered.
 Raw Material.
 "Not less than relates to our peoples prosperity and well-being is the re- moval of restrictions upon the importa- tion of raw material necessary to our manufacturers, that they m ay obtain as cheap materials as those used by the1r competitors. It is quite obvious that 1 the enhancement of the price of our manufactured products, resulting from this policy, not only confines the mar keu for those products within our own borders. to the direct disadvantage of our manufacturers, but also increases their cost to our citizens. The interests of labor are certainly, though indirectly involved in this feature of our tariff system.
 The Effect on Labor.
 "The sharp competition and active struggle among our manufacturers to supply the limited demand for their goods will soon fill the narrow market to which they are confined, then fol- lows suspension of mills and factories discharge of employees, and distress in the homes of our workingmen. Even if the often disproved assertion could be made good, that lower rate oi wages would result from free raw mate rials, and low tariff duties, the intelli gence of our workingmen leads then quickly to discover that their steady employment, if permitted by free ma terials, is a most important factor II their relation to tariff legislation.
 The Wilson Bill.
 "A measure has been prepared by ar appropriate congress committee em bodying a tariff reform on the llnei herein suggested, which will bs promptly gu omitted for legislative ac tion. It is the result of much patriot1, and unselfsh work, and I believe i deals with it's subject as consistently and thoroughly as existing condition permit. lam satisfied that the reduced tariff duties provided for in the pro posed legislation added to existing in ternal revenue taxation, within tn, near future, though perhaps not imme dIately, will produce sufficient revenue to meet the needs of the government
 Taxing Corporations.
 1.-The committee after full considera tion and to provide against temporar, deficiency which may exist before tn business of the country adjusts itself t. the new tariff schedules, have wisel, embraced h their plan few sdditiona internal revenue taxes, including small tax upon incomes derived iron certain corporations. These new assess ments are not only absolutely just an easily borne. but they have the furthe advantage of being such as can be re mitted without unfavorable bushes disturbances whenever the necessity c their imposition no longer existp.
 APull All Together.
 'In my great desire for the success c this measure 1 cannot resist suggestin that it's success can only be attained b means of unselfsh counsel on the par of the friends of tariff reform, and a the result of their willingness to subor dinate personal desires and ambition to the general good. Local interests al fected by the proposed reforms are S numerous and so varied that if all ar insisted upon, the legislation em body ing the reform must inevitably fail. | conclusion, my intense feeling of re sponsibility impels me to invoke for tn manifold interests of generous and COT iding people the most scrupulous car and to pledge my willing support t every legislative effort for the advance ment of the greatness and prosperity ( our beloved country"
