of the fine being paid, and he said
tits collection like tho revision of the
tariff. has been postponed until after

Tho real way and effective methods
of limiting the power of the Stand
ard Oil, Rainey argued, was to re-
move the tariff of IS cents a gallon
on petroleum. "Do tnat," he said,
"and admit Russian oil free of duty
and you will have struck blow at
the Standard Oil organization"
Speaking of the presidential candi.
dates Rainey asserted that there was

that was Senator Foraker There
