6. My dear Mr. Isom: I have read your letter of recent date with much interest. In reply let me say that since I have been in Congress I have worked and voted for what I thought was right, without asking the permission of the administration at the time in power. During the administration of both President Roosevelt and President Taft, I fought hard against some of their proposals, not because it was good to oppose what I believe is wrong, no matter what the power or position of those who favor or oppose such measures.

To change these conditions in state and nation is the absolute duty of every good citizen. To the Republican party now, as in the past, we turn for deliverance. On the practice of its principles depends the preservation of our institutions; on its success depends the country's welfare. The Republican party is the only one effectual instrument in this country to apply to wrong conditions and to new conditions the wisdom of experience vsjt A' I hope you will believe me always With the double acting baking powder, good results are doubly certain.

In the first seven months of the new tariff law we lost in our foreign commerce and since April 1, 1914, the balance of trade has been against us every month.

This has made, during the present summer, a frightful drain on our gold supply. Interest rates have gone up all over our country.
