the tariff is now scarcely on a revenue basis. How; then, is it to

"But these questions or problems will be solved. They are
much more soluble than the one of supreme importance, which is
how to extract from the soil the maximum of production at the

In the ratification resolution, how

to Insert a statement of the position
of the United States with regard to
