In speaking of the berating now being
given the new tariff law the Philadela-
delphia Press romarks:
1.-The democratic assault upon the re-
vised tariff act is Il vivid reminder of
what occurred after the passage of the
Mckinley tariff law III the second year
of the Harrison administration. That
law was so perslstently and unscrupul-
ously miSrepresented that people were
led to believe that most of their ills and
mIsfortunes were due to 1t. The coun-
try was clearly deceived and one month
after the passage of the act 10 elected an
overwhelming democratic majority TO
the house of representatives, and two
years later the democrats secured the
presidency and both houses of congress.
What followed this was natural enough.
IL was not necessary to wait for a revis-
ion of the tariff by It's enemies. The
very menace of democratic control i'll
both executive and legislative depart
ments of the national government was
sufficient to halt the industries of the
country, depress business, stop invest
ment and throw hundreds of thousands
out of employment.
That lesson cannot have been forgot
