Public Interest Commentary on Tariffs and Political Ironies
A pointed critique rails at the post office ruling against Mr. Bryan’s Commoner, questions editor motivations, and condemns tariff policy. It also denounces Judge Shiras’s income tax stance, questions Roosevelt’s Cuban tariff policy, and warns that a constitutional convention could threaten the republic.
