widely prevailed that the decision
where to make such increases and
cuts would be reached, not by a
calm consideration of the merits Of
each case, but by a log-rolling or
Understanding process.
Such unsystematic ways OF
patching a tariff together open wide
the avenues for perjury and other
fraud, for special pleading, for APP
peals to the most sordid political
motives, for the exercise of gross
favoritism and the wreaking of petty
revenges, and have given rise even
to charges of bribery and investiga-
tons shadowing the good repute of
men high in the councils of the ma
ton. Us it pleasant reflection that
such an atmosphere is liable to con-
tinue surrounding our tariff legisla-
ton indefinitely?
What have we to offer as a sub
stitute? A system which keeps al
ways at the disposal of Congress,
and open to the people, a chart OF
the worlds producing activities,
corrected almost from day to day.
The changes noted in the foreign
cost of production of various COM
modities are doubtless individually
slight; in one case they may swing,
pendulum-like, little this way and
little that, ending their agitation
at about the same point where it be-
gan. In another, there may be al
steady trend to one side for a whole,
due to causes not difficult to dis
cover through the machinery Of the
