what the decision of the supreme
court Is. It In effect declares that the
an';l-trust statute punishes every com
bination or restraint of Interstate
trade that Is intended and has the
necessary effect to control prices, ex
clude competition, and establish a par
tial or complete monopoly of any In
terstate trade In any merchandise,
and that a bill of equity may bs filed
against the offendiny combination or
corporation which will lead to disin

unlawful, and a division of It into a

snd I am among thoBe, who believe
that protection,, in the past bas been
too hig3, and that it is ' possible to
lower the tariff so as not to Interfere
withb uslness, give a living rata of
protection to existing enterprise-and
yet prevent excessive prices growing
out of excessive rats. In carrying out
such a policy and maintaining such an
attitude, it is essential that the Inter
ests of business should be guarded by
close Investigation Into their needs as
to a protective tariff, and; this empha
sizes the lmportanec and vital neces
sity of the maintenance of a tariff com
mission and of Its ascertainment of
the facts with respect to business and
the difference between the cost of pro
duction here and the cost of produc
tion abroad before tariff changes are
made. '! ' . '-' :.
AVe have had In the past two yearr
since the agitation and the excitement
growing but of the passage of the
Payn? bill, a strong movement towan'.
the establishment of a tariff board or
commission which, by furnishing ac

and the comparative costs of foreign

ward the existing Industrie a of the
country and to save them as far as
possible in any changes that might bi
made. Under circumstances which it
is not now necessary for me to recount
and by appropriations furnished by
congress, I have been able to establish
a tariff "board, and I have declined to
promote the passage of tariff mea

that within a few, months this tariff
board can furn'vh; and I have done bo
