CARLISLE,s POLICY.
TO Satisfy the Demand which Gale"
For the Tariff Commission


For the Tariff Communication.
fillmore suu special.
WASHINGTON, Dac. 6.--Spe. ker Carlisle
hiss author d = statement OF his views
with regard 10 tariff revision, which may
be summed up as follows;
Mr.. Carlisle knows that the present
law Is not reform OF the old law, there
fore he fsvors Its revision, believing that
at least the reduction of 20 per cent.
recommended by the tariff commission
should be made, and that the increased
rates of duty by which the promised
objects Of the bill of last session were per-
verified should be reformed. He holds that
the demands of the "best conservative
opinion have not been satisfied, but that an
attempt has been made to deceive those
who hold it.n There has been no change
in his position He believes that ulti-
mately the customs duties OF the
Government must be collected for public
uses only, and he is desireus0 OF returning
| to what he considers n healthy financial
syi ten in such Wa and by such steps
| as will enable the onstneBs of the country
| to adjust Itself to the new condition OF
| things without ditionl y,
A year ago all business men, including
protected man ufactnrers, insisted thai
tariff duties should be reduced at least
| 20 per cent. Congress, with the aid OF a
commission, undertook to satisfy this de
mand aud enacted law that is worse
THAI the oil one. Mr.. Carlisle balieves
that it is the duty OF lhis Congress to tul
| fill the broken promise OF the last and
that there is no clamor against the needed
| action sxcapt from those who augcesded
in resping undue advantages from the
last revision. He holds that the revenue
reformers are not responsible for the agi
tation OF which complaint Is made, hui
that they are to blame who compel asits'
tion by refusing to place the tariff on I
| Just basis.
