...bill, a Democratic measure, was framed for revenue purposes only, but it was essentially protective. The Steel Corporation is our greatest trust, but the Wilson tariff against steel and iron was not a particle lower than the Dingley tariff against the same products. Ten years ago, a high duty meant competition and low prices; today it results in the formation of trusts, which destroy competition. In this the Republican party does not approve. It is committed to protection only as a principle and not as a schedule...

Moreover, it is extremely unlikely that the number sold would diminish, for there has been a steady increase in the last few years, and it is improbable that fewer men would buy tickets because of the increased price, when it was known that the slight addition meant not only greater privileges, but' also immunity from the excessive nuisance of subscription solicitations...

The notes, considerably after the manner of Ruskin, are as instructive as they are meant to be. An aggressively sapient piece of work, the article may interest those who are interested in Turner, if they are willing to forgive a patronizing tone for the sake of being informed. The dogmatic manner in art criticism, justified in Ruskin's case by his authoritative position, may in this article repel those who prefer...
