modified Its tariff policy so as to
limit it for purposes of protection to
tho difference in cost of production
here and abroad, with a reasonable
profit to the United States producer,
the committee report says:
"This is a confession, as was the
republican platform of 1908, that the
theory of high protective duties, as
put forth by the republican party,
has broken down; that combinations
and trusts which prey upon the people
have been fostered by the tariff, arid
that under high protective tariff,
United States manufacturers have
forced unreasonable profits from the
people."
Again the report declares:
"The Canadian reciprocity agree
ment now before the house is a
recognition on the part of the ad
ministration of the Injurious effects
of the extreme protective policy
which has so long been imposed upon
the people of the country, and is an
effort to mitigate its effects." .

committee asserts, cannot afford the
United States people all the needed
relief from high, prices. "Action on
the agreement Involves the necessity
of further and immediate action in
removing a number of duties on im
ports from other countries in order
that justice may be done to the great
army of agricultural producers, who;
in the Canadian agreement, are to
have all the alleged protection re
moved from their products without
a corresponding or reciprocal rej

burdensome on the commodities they
must purchase as necessary to sus
