Mr.. Laffan is brought in as a com

FAVOR PROTECTED INTERESTS
Plea of implement Maker Before the
Ways and Means Commit
tee.

Washington. d. c., Dec. 7.-Tariff
reform was demanded of the ways and
means house committee, in supplement
tai session Saturday by Herbert E.
Miles of Racine, Wis. He spoke as a
tariff committee chairman of the Ma
and as a manufacturer of agricultural
implements himself.
Mr.. Miles said he came TO address
the committee 'as one of 100000 con-
sumers, as one of 175,000 manufactur-
ing consumers. as an employer who
pays half million dollars annually in
wages, and as an Independent, non
trustified manufacturer
"a stone labeled as bread is what
he said the farmer is given through the
Dingley tariff. Mr.. Miles declared the
Standard Oil company benefited most
| from the duty on oil. The Standard S
wage cost was per cent of the price
| to the consumer, and the tariff offered
a protection of 80 per cent of the price.
"They charge the American con-
sumner" he added, from 50 per cent
| to Go per cent more than the foreign
consumer"
| Tariff Rates Exceed Wage Cost.
The tariff rates on steel and its pro
ducts, he said, were all in excess of the
wage cost. He declared there was an
international price on steel which gave
the American product to the foreign
| consumer at price % per cent less
| than the price which the home con
sumer must pay.
Mr.. Miles recommended as a maxi
| mum duty Is per cent on heavy stee
/ products and as minimum no duty
This reduction of the schedule, he eX
planned, would result in a material re
duction in the cost of agricultural i'm
plements and wagons to the farmer
and he advocated putting nails ant
some machinery on the free list.
Free entry for iron ore and scraI
iron, he said. would permit severa
New England factories which have
been forced to shut down to resume
operations. He said later that the en-
tire steel schedule for. rolling mill pro
I ducts should be reduced from Is to q
. per cent.
Samuel H. Cowan of Forth Worth
Texas, representing the American Liv'
Stock association and Texas cattl
{ raisers, asked that the duty be re
: tanned on hides. A letter from c.
: Jones of Boston, representing the Sho
and Leather association, said fire
e hides. leather, and shoes would caus
:. a reduction of so cents in the cost {

Smith Denies Personal Motive.
Cleveland, Ohio, Dec 7.-Delavan
Smith was shown copy of the letter
of President Roosevelt while on the
train and made the following reply:
1.-THE presidents comments on the
Panama editorials are based on state
ments made by prominent New York
paper, not the New York Sun, which
the Indianapolis News printed at the
same time, with many other papers
giving full credit to the source from
which they obtained it.
"In making the editorial comment
to which the president takes exception
the editor of the News credited its
information to the New York paper
making the charge and distinctly dis
claimed any responsibility for its ac
curacy. This editorial was printed in
the ordinary course Of the daily rou
