Led by a desire to keep American markets from a flood of cheaply pro- duced forelgn goods, sold at the ex- pense of the job of the workman of this country, Americans have some- what abandoned any free trade prin- ciples that they may have had.

Naturally the democratic Senators are taking advantage of the opportuni- ty by the amendment and are criticis- ing the action even from the stand- | point of the expressed views of the President himself. During the stress of war a bill was proposed in Congress which would give President Wilson the power to distribute the powers and duties of executive offices under his control. One of the opponents of the measure was the then Senator Hard- ing who stated that, if the hill was passed, Congress could fittingly com- plete the program of delegating the taxing and appropriating powers to the President and go home. Inasmuch as the payment of a tariff ultimately comes from every pockets it amounts to nothing more than a tax and the Senate has dele- gated this taxing power to the Pres- ident. He may not raise the rates, but they are high since the amendment was introduced at all. If he does not lower them there will be influences brought bear that a politician may not well afford to overlook. Every individual in business is first concerned with the that represents, every congressman is first concerned with what he considers to be the demands of his constituency. The protectionists have undoubtedly won a preliminary victory in the Sen- ate and there is every reason to sup- pose that they have looked well to the extent of that victory.

Mr. Hughes then quoted Chief Jus- tice White upon this point, as fol- lows: “At the trial, hefore the submission of the case to the jury, the court put Ithe fifth count entirely out of the | rase by instructing the jury to disre. gard it, as there was no evidence | whatever to sustain it. The bribery charge, therefore, disappeared.’ Upon the sixth count, that charg- ing a conspiracy to defraud by use of the malls, the jury repdered a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Hughes continued, leaving four counts involving sub- | stantially the same charge, these he- |ing either eliminated or consolidated I\with the first oeunts. “Thus,” proceeded Mr. Hughes, “the question came down to one point, as T have said, the expenditure or con- spiracy to expend an amount of mog- ey in excess of the statutory limit of $3,750. That was all that was left of the case. “Senator Newberry could not have been convicted, even upon this charge, | without what T always regarded, and | s0 stated in my argument to the su- preme court, as an extraordinary mis- | application of the statute upon which !(hi’ charge was hased."” S Going on to the appeal taken to the supreme court by Senator Newberry and the other defendants, against the conviction thus obtained, Mr. Hughes told of the opinion of that court, wi%t- ten by Justice McReynolds in behalf fof a majority of the justices, that the federal statute was unconstitutional as ate of Michi. | ey E—————— o T | Newberryism has been es- | Thursday Eve.
