that nomination, and in that event
believe he would accept it as a duty to

There was n general reyulsion

IN congress, when representative
OF public land states insisted
that the people should be annoyed as
little as possible by these special

tons for them. Then there were laws

prompt revival Of business, and who
have more zeal than knowledge, that
the new tariff makes only little change
from the Mckinley law Yetwhat are
the facts? On many Of the most i'm
portant products the duties are re-
duced more than one-half, and on
many others as much as third, and
these are products, moreover, which
were so largely imported in 1891 and
1899 under the Mckinley duties as to
prove that those duties were by no
means prohibitory.
II is essential TO remember that A
duty which is not high enough to pro
tect Is like dam which Is not strong
enough to resist flood, Only a little
difference In the. dam or the duty may
bring tremendous disaster in place Of
peace and prosperity. The question Is
whether the duty is high enough to
keep domestic establishments at work
with fair wages Cutting off wages
necessarily cuts off what the people
can buy, and thus necessarily reduces
business. Now the one fact which
everybody can see is that wages are at
present very much lower than they
were two years ago, before the people
voted for change Of tariff, and the
definite settlement which the new
tariff has brought does not anywhere
permit any recovery Of wages as yet,
but in many important branches it has
compelled a decline. Thus the win
dow-glass workers recently accepted a
reduction Of twenty per cent and the
tlint-glass and tin plate workers are
also expected to accept reduction.
1t is impossible to state with accu-
racy what the aggregate reduction In
all kinds Of wages has been, but 1t is
unquestionably enough to account for
u material shrinkage in the purchases
Of the people, and consequently in the
volume Of business, This alone would
be very serious change, should it
continue, even though none Of the
American works should be directly
closed by foreign competition, For II
the people can only spend s,OOO,OOO,-
