If the results of the election of 1892 meant anything, they meant that the Democrats were commissioned to revise the tariff. The chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means was William L.

Why could not Malcolm be always like that? she thought, and then she sighed gently as she took her Bible in her hand. It opened of its own accord at Samuel's childhood and Hannah's solemn dedication of her first-born; no passages in the well-read book had been more frequently perused.
