down OF the system OF protection. by cx-
plnining that after all Il would be Inn
possible to break down the system be-
cause the Republican Senate would
stand In the way.
The logic OF this Democratic reason
Ing 10 somewhat like that OF the hoyI
who explained that by refusing to eai|
pins he had saved his life-only that in|
the Democratic case the country would bel
saved not by the Democratic refusal toI
do harm. but only by the Dcsnocratic|
inability to do the harm II was opcnIy
trying 10 do. Judge Parker In his fkech'
OF acceptance said:
.IT is A FACT AND SHOULD Be
FRANKLY Conceded THAT
THOUGH OUR PARTY BE SUc-|
CESSFUL IN THE COMING conf
TEST WE CANNOT HOPE TO sE<
CURE A MAJORITY In THE SE~<j
ATE DURING THE NEXT w
YEARS. HENCE WE SII-AL.Lt
UNABLE TO SECURE ANY MO-
FICATIoN IN THE TARfFF sASi
THAT no WHICH THE REPUBII-
CAN MAJORITY IN THE SENATE|
MAY CONSENT"
Mr.. Parker further thinks that tahs
fact Of Democratic inability 10 modify
the fariff nhould serve Tn prevent q ~
currence of THAT SENSE or UN{
CERTAINTY AND INSTABILITY
THAT ON OTHER OCCASIONS
