that they were receiving for ten
hour days work, or an increase by
legislative fiat, of twenty-five per cent.
Legislation inspired by the presi.
dent. and fortified by caucus rule, has,
to a large extent, been the method
that has prevailed under this Demo-
cratic administration. And under this
method congress has been in ses-
sion two years, seven months and
afteon days Of the three years and
seven months that have transpired
Of President Wilson's term. This
leaves less than a year of his term
UP to date that congress has not been
In session.
Tariff Protection Destroyed.
President Wilson was inaugurated
the 4th Of March, 1913. Although our
country was then in a most prosper.
GUS condition, under the Republican
tariff law Of 1909, yet his first pur-
pose was to uproot and destroy this
system of tariff protection and to SUBJ
stitute therefor a so-called free trade,
or tariff for revenue only" system.
In pursuance of this policy, he sum-
moned congress in extra session; and
congress, in obedience to such sum-
mons, met on the 7th day Of April,
1913. In his message he declared
that:
Il have called the congress together
in extraordinary session because a
duty laid upon the party in power at
the recent elections which 1t ought
to perform promptly, in order that
the burden carried by the people under
existing law may be nghtened 40 soon
