tive Serene Payne chairman of the COM
nittee The hearings will be completed
before the SiXtieth congress convenes for
its last session, but the program for the
revision does not provide for the presen-
tation of the subject to congress until
the Sixty-first congress is convened next

Judge Taft in his speech accepting the
Republican nomination for president out
lined in these words the policy to be fol-
lowed in revision:
s'rhe Republican doctrine of protection.
as definitely announced by the Republican
convention of this year, and by previous
conventions is that a tariff shall be i'm
posed on all imported products. whether
of the factory. farm or mine sufficiently
great to equal the difference between the
cost of production abroad and at home
and that this difference should of course
include the difference between the higher
wages paid in this country and the wages
paid abroad and embrace a reasonable
profit 10 the American producer

of the last uprising against President

view of the accurate predictions OF The

1t was the common expectation OF the

election TO the highest level of the year;
that abundant supplies of stocks would

Washington, Nov. S.-"Secretary
Taft's religious faith is purely his own

elimination" says President Roose-

Ill now 10 avoid any agitation likely to

lows:
November 6, 1908.
MY dear sir: 1 have received your
letter running in part as follows:
While il is claimed almost univer-
sally that religion should not enter
into politics, yet there is no denying
that il does, and the mass of the voters
that are not Catholics will not sup
port a man for any office, especially the
president of the United States who is
Roman Catholic.
Since Taft has been nominated for
president by the Republican party. it
Is being circulated and is constantly
urged as a reason for not voting for
Taft that he is an infidel Unitarian
and his wife and brother Roman Cath
Olics. If his feelings are in SYM
pathy with the Roman Catholic church
on account of his wife and brother be-
ing Catholics, that would be objection
able to sufficient number of voters to
defeat him. On the other hand. if he
is an infidel, that would be sure to
mean defeat. ] am writing this letter
for the sole purpose of giving Mr.. Taft
an opportunity to let the world know
what his religious belief is

Not Answered Publicly.

Il received many such letters as

dissatisfaction with Mr.. Taft on reli-
gious grounds; some of them on the
ground that he was a Unitarian and
others on the ground that he was sus-
pected to be in sympathy with Catho-

letters during the campaign because
regarded il as an outrage to agitate
such a question as a mans religious
convictions, with the purpose of infiu-

that the campaign is over. when there
Is opportunity for men TO calmly con-
slider whittier such propositions as
those you make in your letter would
lead 1 wish 70 invite them to consider
them. and / have selected your letter
TO answer because you advance both
the objections commonly urged against
Mr.. Taft, namely: That he is a Uni
tartan and also that he is suspected of
sympathy with the Catholics. You ask
that Mr. Taft shall let the world know
what his religious belief IS This is
purely his own private concern: and it
is a matter between him and his Max
er. matter for his own conscience;
and TO require il to be made public IN
der penalty of political discrimination
is to negative the first principles of our
government, which guarantees COM
plete religious liberty. and the right to
each man to act in religious affairs as
his conscience dictates. Mr.. Taft never
asked my advice in :he matter. but if
he had asked ii l should have en-
phatically advised him against thus
stating publicly his religious belief
The demand for statement of a can
didate's religious belief can have no
meaning except that there may be dis
elimination for or against him because
OF that belief. The inevitable result of
entering upon such a practice would
be an abandonment of our real free
dom of conscience and a reversion to
