These examples sufficiently illustrate the effects of snealzing taxation within our Chinese wall. We are compelled to pay two prices for necessaries in order to let the few become millionaires ex- peditiously and overwhelmingly. The retailer does not get his share, for the tariff beneficiary hogs all the profit he can.
 Dingleyism would not stand an hour after a congressional session if It's taxes were levied as all taxes should be levied In an open and plain manner It Is robbery of the many by the few on the sneak plan.
 No one outside of the favored class would be harmed particle if the tariff taxes on the articles named were re- moved. Our industries would go on just the same. No factory would be closed, but the business of creating millionaires by tapping in secret manner the pockets of the many would suffer serious check.
