WEDNESDAY EVENING. OCT. 2. 1901

Mr.. ROBERT p. PORTER, who mas
mat returned from a business trip
abroad, had talk with the President
on Monday regarding tariff and otner
conditions. Mr.. Porter is a strong con-
vsrt to the necessities for reciprocity,
aud gave the President some facts re-
sardine opinions abroad. Mr.. Porter
believes that a serious mistake will be
made il reciprocity arrangements tnst
may ne entered into are not ratified by
the Senate. He intimates that some o.
the European countries may adopt re-
taliatory tariff legislation against the
bigh-tariff laws of this country at the
shortest possible notice. The demands
for a lower tariff are reaching Wash
ington from all sections OF the country
except from the eastern and middle
States. and these cannot much longer
resist the pressure being brought to
bear upon congressman for tariff re-
vision. All those who like Mr. Porter
have travelled abroad see the in
furious effect the present high tariff is
having upon the masses OF the people
of this country for the benefit OF the
classes, and the true patriots are those
who urge, not only the President but
their representatives In Congress. to
hasten a tariff revision.
