Mr.. TAFT ON TARIFF
Compromise on Philippine Sugar
and Tobacco Reported.
From The Tribune Bureau


Washington. Dec. u.-Presideut- elect Taft's views
the tariff among the principal subt>cts OF
discussion in the testimony Of H E. Miles before
the Ways and Means Committee this afternoon
Mr.. Miles brought up the subject by asserting that
Mr.. Taft told him short time ago that ne favored
framing the tariff rates to give the Amerl-
manufacturer the difference between the
labor cost at home and abroad, besides a reason
able assurance of profit" This assurance OF
profit Mr.. Miles interpreted being an allow
FOR freight rates and other contingencies
which might arise 10 benefit the foreign manu-
fscturer.
Representative Fordney, Of Michigan. imnledis te-
" took issue with Mr. Miles and insisted that
the President-elect stands the Republican plat
form, and only considers it advisable to give
the manufacturer a reasonable assurance OF profit
but AN assurance OF reasonable profit On these
hair-splittng questions the two argued for some
minutes. interrupted occasionally by Representa-
tive Dalzell. who declared that his own views and
those OF Mr. Taft in entire accord Finally
Mr.. Fordney said: Yesterday Judge Taft told me
that he does believe in the addition OF fair rate
OF profit to the labor cost" This only served 10
continue the discussion, which showed that Mr.
Fordney wishes TO interpret Mr.. Tafts remark as
Endorsement Of prohibitive duties while Mr..
Miles believes that IT should be taken 10 mean
duty only slightly exceeding the difference in the
labor cost
The tariff hearings viii be continued throughout
the short session OF Congress and President-elect
TAFT Will have further conferences with the COM
mittee. A compromise has been reached Il is re-
ported. regarding the tariff Philippine sugar
and tobacco. AS result of the conference yes
terday between Mr.. Taft and the majority
befs Of the committee, the House Of Representa-
tives will pass a bill which will thoroughly revise
the present schedule, II is generally understood.
II is understood that the sugar interests have
agreed 10 the admission of 800 OO0 tons of sugar
from the Philippines annually free Of duty and
mat all sugar over that amount shall pay the
present rate OF duty. which is % per cent less
than the duty imposed by the Dingey tariff
sugar from other countries What amount is to
he fixed As maximum limit for the free entry
OF tobacco has not been determined. The Demo-
Gratis are understood to be thoroughly in accord
on the question Of free trade the Philippines
II Is probable that a number Of sugar and to-
oacco manufacturers and growers will be sub
pRnaed in order to obtain further information on
the question.
Al yesterdays conference Mr.. Taft expressed
desire to take up certain schedules some
lure conference with committee. He also IA
Nored any action the part Of the committee
which would bring before it those manufacturers
who have expressed their views publicly on the
tariff question, well any persons who could
furnish valuable Information in connection with
the proposed revision.
