Of legislation and artificial arrange-ment.
We have seen tariff legislation wan
der very far afield in our day—very
far indeed from the field in which our
prosperity might have had a normal
growth and stimulation. No one who
looks the facts squarely in the face or
knows anything that lies beneath the
surface of action can fail to perceive
'he principles upon which recent tariff
legislation has been based. We long
ago passed beyond the modest notion
of "protecting" the industries of the
country and moved boldly forward to
the idea that they were entitle^ to the
direct patronage of the government.
For a long time—a time so long that
, thp men now active in public policy
hardly remember the conditions that
preceded it—we have eought in our
tariff schedulers to give each group of
duty. At a later time I may take the
liberty of calling your attention to
reforms which should press close up-on
the heels of the tariff changes, if
not accompany them, of which the
chief is the reform of our banking
and currency laws: but just now I \
refrain. For the present. I put these
matters on one side and think only
o£ this one thing—of the changes
in our fiscal system which may best
sei ve to open once more the free
channels of prosperity to a great
people whom we would serve to
tht utmost and throughout both rank
