viewing the record OF imports under
the Payne law. and the statement OF
receipts through the custom houses In
connection with general market con.
ditions, there is nothing that shows
clearly that either the, volume OF
trade or the revenues would have been
materially different had no changes
been made in the schedules. Price
changes. whether upward or down

es In tariff rates than to general trade
conditions, to the law of supply and

politicians in serving their political
ends. y
