NUGGETS
From Wilson's Speech Of Accep.
tance

We do not ignore the facts
that the business of a country
like ours is exceedingly sensitive
to changes in legislation of this
kind. It has been built up, how
ever, ill-advlsedly, upon tariff
schedules written in the way ]
have Indicated, and it's founda-
tions must not be too radically
or too sudden disturbed. When
we act we should act with eau
tion and prudence; like men who
know what they are about, and
not like those in love with a
theory. 1t is obvious that the
changes we make should be
made at only a such rate and
in such way as will least inter
fere with the normal and health
ful course OF commerce and
manufacture. But we shall not
on that account act with timidi
ty, as if we did not know our
own minds, for we are certain OF
our ground and of our object
There should be an immediate
revision. and it should be down
ward, unhesitatlngly and steadi-
ly downward.
'It is not as easy for US to live
as it used to be. Our money will
not buy as much. High wages,
even when we can get. them. yield
US no great comfort. We used to
be better off with less, because a
dollar could buy SO much more.
The majority of us have been
disturbed to find ourselves grow
ing poorer, even though our
earnings were slowly increasing
Prices climb faster than we car
push our earnings up.

"Moreover, we begin to per.
celve some things about the
movement of prices that concera
us. very deeply, and fix our ut
tention upon the tariff schedule,
with a more definite determine
ton than ever to get to the bot
tom of this matter. We have
beer looking into it, at trials
held under the Sherman Act and
in Investigations in the commit
tee rooms cf Congress, where
men who wanted to know the
real facts have been busy with
inquiry; and we begin to SET
very clearly what at least some
of the methods are by which
prices are fixed. We know that
they are not fixed by the com
petitions of the market, or by
the ancient law of supply anc
demand which is to be found
stated in all the primers of econo
mics. but by private arrange
ments with regard to what the
supply should be and agreements
