I do not blame him for claiming the credit of that -which would not be a statute law today except that his party was powerless to prevent it. He wants credit for the Chinese bill. to which the other side of the House. with scarcely an exception. voted in opposition. and upon which a Republican President put the seal of his veto. He wants to go to the country claiming credit for having saved the Pacific slope from the tidal wave of Mongolian immigration that threatened to ingulf it. In the depths of that same bankrupt political condition. he comes to claim credit for the passage of the most miserable political abortion that ever went forth from this or any preceding Congress in the shape of a tariffcommission bill. which already bears an unsavory flavor in the nostrils of honest people. He goes further and claims credit for having relieved the taxburdened people of this country from the onus of grievous taxation.
