Harding emphasizes the importance of choosing employment over idleness in economic recovery.

Something more than tariff protection is required by American agriculture.
There is actual depression in our agricultural industry, while agricultural prosperity is absolutely essential to the general prosperity of the country.
I hope a way will be found to make for flexibility and elasticity, so that rates may be adjusted to meet unusual and changing conditions which can not be accurately anticipated.
If our tariffs are to be made equitable, and not necessarily burden our imports and hinder our trade abroad, frequent adjustment will be necessary for years to come.
