Early in the administration of President Cleveland I ventured 

 to suggest to Assistant Secretary Fairchild to carry back this 

 classification from the year 1884, in which it was first established, 

 to the year 1880, so that we now have the result of ten consecutive 

 years, 1880 to 1889 inclusive, which I now submit for considera- 

 tion. I think all will agree with me that no committee of any 

 party or under any name can fail to be governed by the logic of 

 these lines in preparing measures of tariff reform.
