the tailpiece of his Wright biplane

3D. and to- much misrepresentation.
The act was adopted In pursuance of a
declaration BY the party which is re-
sponsible for it that n customs bill
sholrld be tariff for the protection
of home industries. the measure of
the protection to be the difference
between the cost of producing the
imported article abroad and the cost
of producing 1t at home, together
with such addition TO that difference
us might give n reasonable profit to
the home producer. The basis for the
criticism OF this tariff is that In rc-
spect to a number of the schedules
the declared measure WAS not follow
ed. but Il higher difference retained
or inserted by way OF undue discrim-
ination, in favor of certain industries
and manufactures. Little. If any,
criticism of the.tariff has been direct
cd against the protective principle
above stated; but tho main body of
the criticism has been based on the
charge that the attempt to conform
TO tic measure of protection was not
honesty and sincerely adhered to.
