the trusts which the Republican party
has bred and on whose fat 1t has fed
for the last ten years are guilty of the
very tendencies which Mr.. Lodge was
formerly in the habit of ascribing to
the Democacy.
Senator Proctor, without saying that
it seemed "audacious'' to oppose a
measure which the president had ap-
proved, declared that it would be ex-
ceedingly unwise for the government
to pay the cost Of inspection. He did
not consider it d proper tax on either
the cattle raiser or the consumer. 1t

approval to their output Other inGus-

the wonderful advancement already
witnessed by the twentieth century in
various parts Of the globe. Mr.. Foss
says:
We are confronted by condition
In Europe and we must adjust our
tariff to meet this condition If we wait
too long we stand in grave danger of
losing many of our best markets. The

be crisis unless we avert it, just as

and minimum schedules, and second,
