Twas all over now My dear lad

Indeed, in spite of its drawbacks
there Is no other business that can be

there must be radical and perpetual
dissent, in the sense in which he lays
them down; that is, as propositions es-
tablishing the merit of the new tariff.
For instance, he says that it is "the
best revenue-getter we ever had"
This may be true, though a revival of
business after months of depression
has caused abnormal conditions that
make a seven months test not alto
gether conclusive as to its ultimate
operation
One of the chief grounds of COM
plant against the law is that it is too
altogether good as a revenue-producer
1t takes too much money from the
pockets of the people. 1t lays too
heavy a tax on the. articles of con
sumption of the. plain people. 1t
bears too heavy load of responsible
ity for an obnoxious period of high
prices.
Mr.. Taft explains triumphantly that
the new law has the largest free
list. F" 1t does put works of art, 20
years old, on the free list, for which
we may be thankful, and sundry ar
ticles of art manufacture, excepting
stained-glass windows. Radium, whose
existence was unknown when the
Dingley bill was framed, is added to
the free list.
But is Mr.. Taft measuring by the
bushel by the yard when he says its
free list is the "largest?" The value
of a free list consists in the char
acter, not in the number, of its arti-
cles.

must be to the people to have kindling

that it has been proved" during
these seven months that the Dingley
rates have been materially reduced ?"
