The Tariff Tragedy
them warm.

Only presidential veto can save the country from
the Grundy billion-dollar tariff bill.
Bv the close vote of A to A. the senate approved
this monstrosity There virtually clean-cut d.
vision between the Republican regulars on the one
hand and the Democrats and ProgreSsives on the
other
The old guard won-but in fear and trembling
1t was strange sort of victory, one seldom before
seen. Those arch-protectionists from the highest
tariff state in the Unon-Reed and Grundy of Penn
sylvania-pubcy attacked and apologized for the bill
which they finally accepted with misgivings. And SO
with MANY other Republican regulars who voted Tor
the bill which in private they had condemned
Thus ended the first act
The second act is short and less important The
house Of representatives, supposedly free ana rep
resentatve body long ago indicated its readiness to
approve vicious measure which its dictators have
not even allowed it to debate.
The third act will be at the White House. The
President will receive the bill, development OF which
ne has watched for sixteen months.
He must know that the bill, if it becomes law,
will drag the nation into deeper economic depression
He has been informed by the leading economists Of
the country the leading newspapers, the Leading
manufacturers the leading merchants, the Leading
bankers the leading farm organizations, the Leading
consumer representatives that this proposed tariff
will create national crisis.
They have proved that it will cause an interna-
tional tariff war of reprisas-as it already has done
They have proved that it will kill our foreign mar
kets. upon which American production pros
perity depends-as it is doing already.
Hoover did not need this proof. Before the econ
onists spoke he spoke; before the newspapers the
manufacturers merchants bankers, farmers and con-
suners cried out against general tariff increase
Herbert Hoover committed himself against such folly
He committed himself secretary Of commerce
He committed himself candidate for President,
seeking the votes and trust of his fellow citizens He
committed himself in his messages to congress.
The Republican party in congress by passing this
bill has betrayed its election pledge
viii the President likewise betray his election
pledge?
The country which elected him as a great en-
pineer as a renowned humanitarian, as prosperity
leader above the pettness Of partisan politics, still
believes that Hoover is a man of his word. That
he will sacrifice the nations welfare and ruin his
own reputation by signing this bill is to the common
people of this country unthinkable.
However the third act may end at the White
House-whether the bill is killed by veto or made
law-there will be last act at the polls. After con-
eress and the President have done their best or worst
they will be judged by the people who elected them
in good faith to keep their pledges against general
tariff increase.
