“The present tariff law is unjust in

has this view become that many
prominent members of the Republican
party and at least two of its State Con-
ventions, have dared to voice the
general sentiment on that subject.
That party seems, however, to be col.

from time to time be necessary, but
it is so phrased that it is expected to
