TAFT DENOUNCES THE
MARYLAND AMENDMENT
Urges Equality Of Treatment for Black
and White Races.

Baltimore, Dec. 30.--ln reply to let.
Ter written BY Collector of the Port vii.
liam F. Stone, President-eect Taft has
written strongly denouncing the propos-
ed amendment to the Maryland constitll'
ton BY which the Democrats hope to dis.
franchise the colored voters.
The Democrats have been waging a
hard campaign for the amendment, which
contains the grandfather clanse' that
would debar the uneducated black while
opening the polls to the nneducated
whites It was passed by the Democratic
Legislature, and will go before the people
at the next election.
The Democrats have been using Taft's
recent speech to the North Carolina So
eiety in New York to persuade the people
that the president.elect favors the
. amendment and this induced Collector
Stone to secure an explicit statement
from Judge TAFT, who says;
eThe whole law ought to be condemn
ed. Ii is not drawn in the spirit of JUS
tiee and equality, having regard for
the 18th and 18th amendments, and
sincerely hope that no Republican and
no Democrat who desires equality of
treatment to the black and white races
will vote for it,"

REDUCTION OF DUTY

Washington, Dec. a0s-There has beer
persistent rumor around the House
committee room chat the new tariff bill
will put hides on the free list and pro
vide for n substantial reduction in the

they could stand a slight reduction in

TO the committee admitting that a duty
OF 20 per cent. would serve to protect

would be necessary for the American

ING the revised tariff bill. has received

nection with its work. These have come
from manufacturers, importers and 9TH
ers who arc interested in the tariff, and
who have either appeared before the
committee in person at the hearings or
have filed briefs with the tariff trainers.
requests for changes from ad yalorem
duties to specific rates and vice versa are
most numerous. In many instances, It
IS claimed that the suggested changes
would make 1t difficult for INSCRIPTIONS
importers to undervalue their importa-

One suggestion is that way out of
the tariff difficulty could be found by
copying the law recently enacted in
Great Britain which makes ii necessary
for all patented articles for consumption
there to be manufactured In that coun-
try, Representative Boutell Of Illinois
is interested in this suggestion and other
members of the committee may look
into the merits of the idea.
As the revenue feature win be one
OF the most important considerations, a
suggestion proposing an export tax on
cotton goods is interesting. but 1t Is not
likely to receive consideration at this
time.
Free coalr is one of the changes for
which there has been great demand.
