which merely stands emphatically
against nullification of the consti-
tuition of the United States, and for
its amendment by lawful means on

tary of the treasurer, in a letter to
appear in the Manufacturers Record,

This great issue, and neither
Of the major political parties should
be permitted to eyade it in 1925"
The speech referred to was de-
l,vcred by McAdoo before the Ohio
state Bar association at Toledo last
January, on prohibition, nulllfica-
tion and lawlessncss" This address.
Mr. McAdoo said, was a more CON
sidered" one than that delivered in
Los Angeles last fall His letter
was in reply to one from Richard
H. Edmonds, editor of the Record,
congratulating him on both speeches,
The reaction in the country to the
Toledo speech, the former secretary
said, has been unusually favorable
and most gratifying to me. The
wet" press condemned it, and abus-
ed me personally, but did not answer
the argument
Mr.. McAdoo, in setting forth also
his position on tariff legislation de-
clared:
In any future tariff legislation
agriculture must, to the extent that
it is possible TO give it an economic
Ecnefit get equal, or even greater
consideration than industry. The
maladjustment between industry and
agriculture to which the present
tariff has contributed so greatly, Is
one OF the outstanding economic
problems of the country"
"a tariff upon economic grounds"
he said, al another point, lis justi-
liable; whereas, a tariff based upon
q system Of political rewarGs, or for
the purpose of political advantage
cannot be justified. The republican
party has given us always the latter
kind of tariff legislation, and While
admit that certain economic ad
vantages that ought to be secured ir
any tariff are embraced N the Do-
ltical tariff, yet if the political ele-
mcnt was remo'~l i, the economic ad-
vantages would be greater
"The tariff commission appointed
by President Wilson, of which he
was one of the strongest advocates"
lie said, was doing magnificent
work for the country, but when the
republicans regained control of the
government they promptly trans
formed the commission into a po~
litical agency and the same old
