changes. II is most earnestly to be
wished that we could treat the tariff
from the standpoint solely of our busi-
ness needs. 1t is, perhaps, too much to
hope that partisanship may be entirely
excluded from consideration of the sub
ject. but at least it can be made second
airy to the business interests of the coun-
try-that is to the interests of our people
as a whole. Unquestionably these bus-
ness interests will best be served II to-
gether with fixity OF principle as regards
the tariff we combine a system which will
permit us from time to time to make the
necessary reapplication of the principle
to the shifting national needs We must
take scrupulous care that the reapplica-
tion shall be made in such a way that II
will not amount to n dlslocation of our
system, the mere threat of which mot to
speak OF the performance) would produce
paralysis in the business energies of the
community. The first consideration i'm
making these changes would, OF course,
be to preserve the principle which under
lies our whole tariff system-that is, the
principle of putting American business
interests at least on full equality with
interests abroad, and of always allow
ing a sufficient rate of duty to more than
cover the difference between the labor
cost here and abroad. The well-being of
the wage-worker, like the well-being of
the tiller of the soil, should be treated as
an essential In shaping our whole econo-
mic policy. There must never be any
change which will jeopardize the stand
ard OF wages of the American wage
