In the background of this struggle

iron-handed domination of the repub-
lican party by the new England
states. The latter comparatively Il
small section of the country has all
the say in the making of the national
legislation. This legislation. particu-
larly i'll tariff, discriminates against
all sections to a greater or lesser de-
gree, in favor of the New England
states. For instance, New England
wants free raw materials for its mills
