Indeed, for many years congress has not legislated on the tariff, but hss simply ratl Ited the schedules handed In by the beneficiaries of the tariff.

Without the use of Improper Influences, directly or Indirectly, oppressive tariff privileges, whereby few are enriched at the exenee of the many, could not stAnd In the fare of the mnnlfest welfare and wish of the people. There are to day In the nation's congress owners of manufacturing Interests either tn whole or In part which are affected by tariff legislation.
