The constant appreciation of the dollar more than offsets the intended benefit of the schedules. The manufacturer who pays for labor and material in depreciated silver and sells his product on the gold standard will inevitably command the market.

It is not my purpose. however. to undertake to discuss at this time either the silver or the tariff question. I would. if it were possible. speak in tones that might reach every Republican in this country to call attention to the party platform of 1892.
