or tho duties which protect the bad"
trusts must come OF.
\ beginning may be made with the
duty on anthracite coal. which Secrc-
tary Moody says was ''smuggied into

and cowardiy manner"
Undoubtedly tho president In his mes
sage 10 congress viii recommend that
this smugrled duty be taken or, and.
as the duty on soft coal protects the
coal trust or trusts far more than the
duty on anthracite. he must. TO be con-
sistent. recommend that all coal be put
on the free list.
Then the fun will begin, as II always
has begun when tho Republicans have
attempted 10 revise the tariff down
ward. and indeed by revising II up
ward.
The trusts will send agents 20 Wash

ways and means committee or perhaps
before n tnrifr commission which the
president will recommend. They will
loudly proclaim the dircful results that

These details viii not prevent him
