WASHINGTON, aug. zI-(spscial Tele-
Eram. )r-Representative Cannot Of Illinois,
chairman Of the house committee on APP
propriations, is In Washington on his way
fHom the Massachusetts, coast. where he wal
. guest Of Secretary Moody on Dolphin.
"wil you promise your people in the
campaign this summer that congress will
revise the tariff at the next session." he
was asked by q reporter today.
may, nay!' replied Mr.. Cannon. why
should l mak such a promise7 There is
nothing scored about the present tariff
schedule. but It is always demoralizing to
business to have congress begin the work OF
revising the tariff. The manufacturer waits
70 see what will be the result. working only
on orders; the merchant buys only what be
feels certain be can sell. and the ordinary
CONSUMER buys only what he needs. Every
body waits to see what will be changed or
what the sfa nkSs will be. II always means
at least a year of uncertainty. and i don't
believe the people Of this country want a
year OF uncertainty just now to check the
prosperity we have.
''The tariff WIFI be revised some time,
but not at the next session Of congress or
by the succeeding congress. unless there
IL a check to the present prosperity. The
people OF the country, so far as I have been
able 10 learn, are not anxious for a'revision
OF the tariff. They are anxious TO continue
their business affairs without interruption
caused by a long discussion in congress as
to what changes should be made I don't
think Ii will be necessary TO give much at
teution to this question in the present cam
paisn." - &,
