The first effort Of the administration
e,yed By Representative Palmer was

r-oml.ed voters that the pledges Of the
Republican party "for tariff revision
meant tariff ion.

ple Il was endorsed by William II
4 Tad and accepted by the people at the
elections Il never would nave be,h
gaaapted without that endorsement, for
m, credit of the maker OF that obliga-
han had been sadly impaired by the
record of years of broken pledges.

vond the dreams of aVarice, he would

4 end0rser o. the Republican party's
4 promise he saved its obligation from
protest.

90 save the pennies OF the working
/ Imam by giving him cheaper cotton
goods as he was 90 save the dollars Of
the steel trust by dumping into its mills
raw materials at much reduced eX-
pcnse, his name would have been en-
shrined in the hearts of the poor as
Dis praises are now sung in the count
ing houses OF protected wealth"
The reduction In the tariff on lumber
was described by Mr. Palmer as pur-
chased gt a price Of a trade war with
Canada. now AN too imminent. which
Is liable 90 bring into operation the
maximum rate provided In the law and
Increase the tariff on lumber products
BY 100 per cont
