COUNTRY CLUB TALK
(For the Bulletin by X. Ray Faber),


Lord Chester: AS much of farce
was that Indianapolis tariff revision
lconvention. Wholly made up o.
lbeneficiaries of the protective tariff
lii planned for permanent advisor,
laijunct OF the useless department OF
commerce. to suggest when and what
lchanges should be made by congress
In the tariff schedules. Thus the
large measure from bothering with
the tariff question, supposing their
interests represented by the COM
mission; whereas. the commission
would represent the protected inter
ests solely. And the Indianapolis
convention bore down hard uuon the
proposition that the tariff Fiestion
should be made -partisan.A What
did this mean? It meant that the
controlling element in the Republican
party would continue to stand stead
tasty for the protective tariff. and 1t
was hoped that the Democratic party
might be divided to some extent
through the influence of the Louis
lana sugar and rice producers. This
dream will never be realized.
Deacon Duncan: No, sir! So long
as the people are taxed heavily for
the benefit of manufacturers and
few others. and these have control
of one OF the great parties. the tariff
will be the leading question to divide
parties, Equal rights for all. special
privileges for none, will be the motto
of those who line up against the pro-
tective tariff: in what words the pro-
tectionists will endeavor to justify
their course hereafter I cannot say.
Where the people really rule, their
intelligence will ultimately enable
them 10 see how they are taxed 10
enrich class. and then the tariff
question will cease TO divide parties.
and will drop out of politics.
Count Herzegovina: And now |
comes the tariff question. The pro-
tected interests are busy They see
the peiple are getting tired of being |
faxed heavily to enhance their pros
perity and wealth. and that some
hing must be done in the way of |
making showing of revision of the
.ariff schedules. The people must |
DO hoodwinked some way. The manu-
lecturers do not want to lose the
goose that lays their golden eggs.
