For Instance each section of the country tries to secure either free trade or protection according to its iuaj i4immlhiu irrespective ot tne greatest good to the greatest num ber of people. The tariff ia practic ally no longer a political issue. Some of our industries and products re quire protection.

The Republicans may cad it pro tection but when corurjlfcted about as much revenue will be derived as i the Democrats were In power, would pass a tari-I bill for revenue. A tariff commission has tx?en sugg.'-s- ted for many years and it dcx-s look us though a commission comitosed of men of large experience whose ob Ject would be to adjust the tariff along purely biisfness lins, would remove much of the present long weary months of fear that always precedes any congresa that attemiits to change tariff schedules, that neces sarily demoralizes business during period of uncertainty. 4 WasU lVakBgta ( Ratify I scene Tax AaaeadaeaL WASHINGTON.
