on tariff was submitted to the house at
its opening today. The report says
that the reduction of duties will not
injure but will give more abundant
life to all our great manufacturing
industries, however much they may
dread the change. In dealing with the
tariff question, as with every long stand
ing abuse that has interviewer itself in
the'soil of eur Industrial system, the
legislator must always remember that
in the beginning temperate reform is
the safest, having in itself the principle
of growth. Protection teaches men to
depend on artificial existing laws of
their countrymen for prosperity in
business, rather than upon their own
skill aud effort.
