It is indeed a Great Parade of the profiteers. The wool-growers are, as usual, well to the front in the procession. They believe that the public has forgotten all about Schedule K and their demand in 1910 for a rate of thirty-three cents a pound which was denounced as "prohibitive" and as "a temptation to monopoly and to conspiracies to control domestic prices"--that dear, kindly, innocent gentleman never suspecting that is just what a tariff is in its every form. So the wool-growers are now asking for rates running from thirty-six to forty cents a pound. The appetite grows with the plundering.
