would be mo important changes in

TO Senator Aldrich the most innuen-
tial man in the upper branch, came
TO Washington yesterday and
promptly expressed the same opin-
ion, to wit, that there would not be
half as much revision Of the tariff
as the country thought there would
be. Apparently the most bourbon OF
the standpatters, and the most pow
erful, have not yet felt the pressure

If the new president meets the ex-

himself he will be able to enforce
the policy which in the popular mind
is his.
After all, the greatest force to be
exerted upon the lawmakers who are
charged with the work of revision
is the pressure of public opinion
This is already a factor of impor-

It is injlsputable that just now

PUBLIC STANDS WITH TAFT

d Washington, Nov. ?6.-It is fast
becoming apparent that the country
Is aroused on the tarln question and
determined to have a fair revision.
Even the high tariff and standpat
members of the ways and means
committee OF the house are getting
disguised with the requests for high
er rates, when the great majority
OF men appearing before them, rep
refenting producers or manufacturers
have offered, which means that the
most ardent protectlonists In con-
gress are being impressed By public
opinion. which almost universally
seems to stand by Mr.. Taft in his
championship OF a liberal and broad
revision.
The limit was reached today when
representatives OF the hop industry
in California appeared before the
ways and means committee and mod
estly asked for an increase OF 100
per cent IN the duties on hops. They
said they wanted TO prevent the i'm
potation OF hops from Germany and
Austria. Chairman Payne said such
an increase OF the duty would b.
likely to have no other effect than
TO decrease the amount OF hops put
into beer by American brewers.
Both Republican and Democratic
members OF the committee show i'm
patience at this continuous chorus In
favor OF higher duties sung by the
representatives OF producing and
manufacturing interests They are
