Perhaps the first since then to propose an INCREASE in tariffs.

And since you brung up Herbert Hoover, both Mr. Smoot and Mr. Hawley were Republicans.

Oh, but parties never switch sides on anything. Use this example the next time some righty-whitey brings up how the original KKK members were Democrats.

The demagoguery of William jennings Bryan meets the plutocracy of William J. McKinley. There -- the worst of both worlds.
