The Review has received an able and Interesting letter written by C. E. Goodman, of Oakland, In which he fully explains why he Is an ad mirer and supporter of President Woodrow Wilson. The letter Is self-explnntory and follows: Kditor Review: Klrst of nil I am for Wilson be cause he Is tho President of 100, OUO.000 Americans and not the President of Wall street solely. When Wilson was tlrst inaugurat ed tho New York banks began to howl und scarcity of money. This statement Immediately startled the whole country and a manufactured depression began. President Wilson immediately met the situation with the declaration that S50.000.COO of Government money wub available to loan to the farmers to move tjielr crops; within 24 hours the banks al iunde a statement that their vaults were bulging with gold and they would like to accommodate the farmers. A victory for WUboh. Soon after Wilson was Inaugurat ed ho called a special session of Con gress to reduce the tariff and pass a currency bill. The tariff was re duced without any bad effect only on the big Interests who had profited by it for many yours. The cry be gan immediately after the passage of the new. Underwood tarirt bill that tho farmer, the lumberman und the merchant, the laborer, the manufac turer and the whole country were ruined, but as time went on we be gan to see the fallacy of the argu ment. Today the farmer Instead of selling his wool for the small sum jf l ie, received under Teddy and the high tnrirr, he Is receiving from '.'7c to .'lac pep lb. for his clip. The farmer today was never more pros perous In the history of the country. There never was a time when there was as many people employed or re ceiving as much pay. The country as a whole was never inoro prosperous than at the present time. Wilson is the only President who ever ofTered a logical plan of taking Ihe tariff out of politics and politics out or the tariff. Ilx-Presldent Tafl advocated and urged the creatlotf of a tariff commission the sume as advocated by ex-.)tistlce Hughes. President Wilson goes farther than either. He proposed and secured the passage of a noii-polllical tariff com mission, a commission based on honor, not politics. The difference 'belwi'cli Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson nil the tariff Is, Mr. Hughes wants a tariff commission and Mr. Wilson has secured a noii-pllitical tariff cim nilssioii. Currency lleforiu.
