He ought to know whether our present tariff policy is
a help or a hindrance to our economic life, and have the
courage to say so.

should not be revised, and guide his stockholders in their
thinking.
He ought to know what our policy should be toward
Russia.

The time is coming when those best brains must render
some more positive service in the formation of a sound
