promises made by President Wilson
and his supporters two years i, ,agd.
ihey asserted that their method of
2fiH reduction would reduce (, the
coeE OF living apd would thus solve
TIE trust question because, as they
sMa. the trusts were the creatures
OF the tariff. We then answered that
the1r promises were empty words.
that no such1 results es- they stated
could or would follow from the course
they advocated and that only by the
method we propose could either the
trust or the tariff question be dealt
with 30 as to abate the existing evils
and at the same time increase the
general well-being. Two short years
have proved us to be right. Their
promises have not been kept. Their
performance has brought distress up-
on the nation. The cost Of living has
not been reduced But the ability of
the average man to gain a living has
been greatly reduced. Not the slight
est progress has been made toward
solving the trust question. But the
business community has been harrass-
ed end harried to MO purpose; and the
prosperity OF the business man has
been checked. exactly as the prosper
ity OF the farmer and the wage-worker
has be;n checked. AS for the farmer.
the present tariff. the administrators
tariff, was 30 fremed as to result In
the sacrifice OF his intetE.sts. He
had no spokesman, no friend in, high
quarters and his welfare was coritem-
ptuOusly sacrificed. at every boip.
where his interest was concerned he
was made to suffer- AS for. The " aye.
worker the result of the tariff. was
that he suffered sven moro t1.au bisl
employer, for he was thrown cut OF
employment and; lost the means to
earn his :!velihnoiE -;'a
- Loss Of Profits.
AS Tor the employer, sometimes lie
has been abe to struggle on With the
OPS OF profits; sometimes he. has had
to close. his shop. In kmsinegses in
which any of the big, trusts were con-
cerned, 1T was the small competitors
OF the trusts who were injured and in !
many cases ruined Tariff. reduction
as. put into practice by the present
administration. has chiefly benesatad
foreign rivals and competitors. It has
done grave injury to the business
community ard the farming commun-
ity and has caused suffering to. the |
Wage.workerS and the whole policy
OF the administration has been one to
cause our psDple in business, oCr
people ON the farmsi our people: with !
dinner pals. to look toward the full
ture with grave concern und apbro- |
hension.
