OF the principles OF protection as the
Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agri-

The Hon. James Wilson, Secretary Of
Agriculture was chairman of the board
OF judges of the debate. His confreres
were the Hon. Charles II. Treat treas
urer OF the United States, and the Hon.
Lawrence o. Murray. assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor. They
reached the unanimous conclusion that
the tariff should be revised along the
suggested lines
The debaters for the affirmative of the
question were Joseph NJ. Crooks, of IL

arguments. The first prize was awarded

Fields. the one representing the af-
firnative and the other the negative side
Of the debate.

There was some difficulty among the
young gentlemen occupying the opposite
sides of the question. I'm agreeing as 10
Just what was the subject Of debate.
Those who contended for the negative
insisted that the affirmative position in
VOWED belief IN the doctrine of free

would rot have It that way. They in

judges. TO make their contention good.
