1 uui s mailer aivision retained or ia-
I serted, by way of undue discrimination
I j iu favor of certain industries and mea
sures. Little, if any, of the criticism
or the tariff has been directed against
tie protective principle above s.ated;
but the main body of the criticism baa
been based on the charge that tho at
tempt to coinform the measure of pro
tection was not honestly-and sincere-f
iy aoaered to.
, Tariif Board.
' The time in which the tariff wa3 pre
pared undoubtedly was as short as to
make it impossible for the congress
and Us experts to acquire the informa
tion necessary to strictlr conform tn
the declared measure. In order to
avoid criticism of this kind in the fu
ture, and for the purpose of more near
ly conforming to the promise, congress
at ii last sessions made, provision at
my request for the continuance of a
board created under the authority of
uie maximum and minimum clause of
the tariff bilL -and authorize m
board to exaend the money annrnnrtnt-
ed under my direction for the ascer
tainment of the cost of production at,
home and abroad of the variour arti
cles included in the schedules of the
tariff. The tariff board thus appointed
another authorized has been diligent
in preparing; ltsIf for the. nfvpniarv
Investigations. The hope of those who
is to be continued and the degree of
protection to be accorded to our home
industries, are questions which the
penile mast decide their chosen rep
resentatives; but whatever nolirv is
adopted, it is clear that the netessarj
leg-.siautm .should be based cn an im
partial, thorough and continaaus j
tudy of the facts.

non-partisan monetary commission of

A comparison of the- business meth
ods and institutions of our powerful
and successful rivals with our own
methods, is sure to be of immense
value. -
I urge the importance of a non-partisan
and disinterested study and con
sideration of our banking and cur

commercial expansion and of the de
