sahscriptions from Plain Citizens
Taken as Criterion Of strong Oppose

Amendment Politics.

Probably no better medium for test
ing the temper of the people on the
amendment could be found than the
steady stream of replies received by
Leon McCord. secretary of the Safe
and Sane League, to his circular letter
asking for contributions to the Safe
and Sane One Dollar Campaign Fund.
Scores Of such letters are received
daily, enclosing sums from 81 up, and
accompanied by comments both sizzling
and sedate.
Those who read the letters express
surprise at the unusual indignation
that they express. Many of them are
from bankers, many of them are from
wholesale dealers In grain, others are
from the ranks of the old Confederate
soldiers who tell grimly Of short"
pensions; some are from farmers who
fear more taxes of them on account
OF the treasury deficit; no few are
from school teachers and trustees who
write sarcastically of an educational
Governor" who "lavishes a million on
the colleges and doles few thous-
and to the rural schools for building
purposes"
From merchant, mechanic and PLAN
ter the replies come to Mr. McCord,
enclosing a dollar or more to help
whip this fight"
Here are a few specimens emitting
the names, but which are verified by
calling at the office of Mr.. McCord:

l hope to be able to submit, at the
first regular session of the incoming
Congress, in December next definite
suggestion in respect to the needed
amendments to the antitrust and the
interstate commerce law. and the
changes required in the executive de
partments concerned in their enforce
ment
1t is believed that with the changes
to be recommended. American business
can be assured of that measure of sta
bility, and certainty in respect to those
things that may be done and those
that are prohibited, which is essential
to the life and growth of all business.
Such a plan must include the right of
the people to avail themselves of those
methods of combining capital and eff
fort deemed necessary to reach the
highest degree of economic efficiency, at
the same time differentiating between
combinatiors based upon legitimate
economic reasons and those formed
with the intent of creating monopolies
and artificiaily controlling prices.
The work of formulating into practi-
cable shape such changes is creative
work of the highest order, and requires
ali the deliberation possible in the in
.terval I believe that the amendments
to be proposed are just as necessary
in the protection of legitimate business
as in the clinching of the reforms
which properly bear the name Of my
predecessor.
A matter of most pressing impor-
lance is the revision of the tariff. In
accordance with the promises of the
platform upon which I was elected, l
shall call Congress into extra session,
to meet on the 18th day of March, in
order that consideration may be at
once given to bill revising the Ding
ley Act. This should secure an ade-
quatc revenue and adjust the duties in
such a manner as to afford to labor
and TO all industries in this country,
whether of the farm, mine or factory,
protection by tariff equal to the differ
ence between the cost of production
abroad and the cost of production here,
and nave a provision which shall put
into force, upon executive determine
ton Of certain facts, higher or max
imum tariff against those countries
whose trade policy toward us equitably
REQUIRES such discrimination. It is
thought that there has been such a
change in conditions since the enact
ment of the Dingley Act, drafted on a
similarly protective principle. that the
measure of the tariff above stated will
permit the reduction of rates in Ger
tain schedules and will require the adj
vancement of few, if any.
,Tb., nrOnOsal to revise the tariff
made in such an authoritative way as
to lead the business community to
count upon it, necessarily halts all
