Republican document it should be supported by
men of all parties in both houses of Congress.
The sooner this commission is created and set
to work. the sooner will the refreshing sun of
tariff for revenue only rise. The appointment of
the commission will mean virtual confession

able, or unwilling. to give the people a square
deal Were they inclined to legslate for the
people instead of the special interests, there
would be no need for this commission. The ere

fall will be held 10 strict account for whatever
