Among intelligent men," said Mr..
Reed, the sins Of omission are worse
than the sins of commission. For two

been making for thirty years, and the
net result is widespread distress, silent
machinery workmen in idleness and
business stagnation, while the same
Democratic leaders have been chasing
the butterflies of impossible free trade.
For thirty years Republican speak

would happen if they allowed even a
shadow of free trade to fit across the
land, but they thought they would test
the change. They had seen the sun rise
and set for thirty years, and they had
