Time and again It has been pointed
out that, while a removal or decided

the monopolies, the chances are that
In the business wreck that would fol-

As Mr.. Roosevelt seems to recognize
distinctly in his letter to Congressman
Watson, tariff revision IS not a simple
question of readiusting this or that
particular rate or schedule. as econom-
ic conditions change Nobody would
oppose this or that reasonable and
harmless read iustment n IL could be
attained without exciting universal
and disastrous perturbation. Unfor-

tariff emendation Il has proved i'm.

amendments agreed upon beforehand

others. some. possibly. innOcuous,
many mischievous in a high degree.
That is why the prospect of any tariff
revision inevitably unsettles prices.

paralyzes production. Il is the limit

be witnessed on the smooth current Of
