siveness its arguments are SO clearly

that il cannot fail to convince all who are
not dominated By passion or prejudice"
The Phuadelphia Press thinks that the
most important part Of Mr.. Taft's speech
is that which deals with the tariff It
says:
The tariff must be revised and ayt-
justed 70 changed conditions. This may
mean some reduction in the average
rates. and Il may not. It all depends
on what rates Will give the protection
needed 10 cover the difference in the
cost Of production here and abroad ard
give a reasonable profit to American in
dustries. Judge Taft IS OF 0T,iTscr that
there are some schedules in which the
tariff Is not sufficiently high to give the
measure OF protection which should be
given Republican principles. These sched-
uies should be raised. while some others
which are higher than necessary for ade-
Guate protection should be reduced
This IS Republican revision. Il Is
the way the tariff Will be treated by the
next Congress. if the Republicans re-
main IN control It IS the kind OF re-
vision that Judge Taft believes in and
advocates. It is the kind which the
country has approved and which We are
confident It viii decide TO have con-
tinued by It's vote next November
