too partisan dealing much with the intricacIes
OF detail 70 be- convincing 70 the general reader There
are sufficient data from facts and the experience Of
other countries without complcating the subject with
theories and collateral conditions. The currency
question is the a.. important issue. Whether the
tariff be a little higher or lower scale OF duties Is
a matter OF insignifcance In comparison. The num-
Der that freetrade policy are compar atiyely

These facts will become more and more apparent as
the date Of election approaches and the clearer tho
issue Is made the one important question the more

friends leave the subject oscilae the cur
