great difficulties which the administra-

class legislation. 1t has been repealed,
and in its stead we have law, which
while not containing that the advanced
advocates of tariff reform hoped
would be secured, gives us nevertheless,
the best tariff which the country has had
Tor thlrty-hVe years and enables us to
eXult i'll the accomplished fact that under
its practical operation we have come to
the full enjoyment of the blessings of re-
stored cotidence and renewed prosperity
in all branches of industry, while at the
same time the National Treasury will be
supplied with revenues sufficient to meet
ali the obligations OF the Government
and maintain unimpaired its high credit
