Again: " Can business ever prosper in the true and complete sense with this vulture gnawing at its vitals?" Did Judge Gary and his disciple writing in the Chronicle think "Congress the worst thing in America." " Congress a vulture." when in 1921 Congress enacted the high protective tariff law now in force? Do they regard the tariff as class legislation promoted by a selfish tariff bloc?

They failed to suggest in April. 1921. that Congress should then take a fiveyear recess before it reduced the surtax rates and raised the tariff rates. .8718 Judge Gary and those who think as he does are evidently entirely out of sympathy with popular government. with a parliamentary sys tem. and therefore do not like our American institutions. They manifestly prefer an autocracy either of one man or a few. either Italian.
