sought TO have Congress ask the head Of
the Navy Department whether the gift
to the battle ship was accepted by any
one. "and. If so. how. by whom, and on
what authority?"
OF course, the newspapers OF the day

In this system OF trading-getting a

such considerations conflict with the best
national policy. But the protective tariff
always has been made. and Is now being

Though there IS no reason 10 suppose

congressman opposed to free raw ma
