NO BACK TRACK ON TARIFF
American Economist Reads Stand
Pat" in Republican Platform.
Declares that Revision Downward
Was Far from the Thought
of Its FrRmers.

New York. June 24-In discussing the
tariff plank in the Republican platform.
the current issue Of the American Econo-
mist says:
Advocates Of the tariff revision down
ward will find not a word or syllable in
this tariff plank that tends TO furnish
them the slightest crumb Of comfort.
There Is no promise I'm the platform of
tariff revision downward: on the con-
trary. the scope and purpose of the tari1
plank is 70 continue the fullest measure
Of protection 10 all industries in the
United States. and that the proposed re-
vision Of the schedules shall maintain the
standard Of protection in every feature
Of the new law
ITO those who believe that the nom
ination OF William Howard Taft. OF
Ohio, would be a pledge Of the party 10
a downward revision Of the tariff the
platform is a complete and unqualified
answer. The nomination Of Representa-
tive James S. Sherman. Sof Kew York.
as the candidate for Vice President. is
a still further and more substantial
pledge OF the sanity and sCuadness Of
the Republican party in dealing with
the great issue which confronts the peo-
pie in the Presidential campaign. name
ly. that there shall be no back-track
movement on the tariff question. either
in the campaign or in the legislation
promised by the party following the in
auguration Of the new administration
1T Will be found that the universal
opinion Of thinking Republicans is that
the Presidential ticket for 1908 is well
balanced. The heart Of William II. Taft
is all right. The head Of James S. Sher-
man is all right If Taft hds at any
time gone too far in his advocacy OF
tariff tinkering, he has not been able TO
carry the Republican party with him.
ut Is. perhaps. not surprising that
promptly upon the announcement OF the
nomination Of Secretary Taft. indeed, be-
fore the ticket was completed. reports
were circulated here that IL is 10 be the
plan and purpose OF Mr.. Taft throughout
the campaign, and In his public utter
ances, which would, Of course, include his
inaugural address on March next to
attempt to hold the party TO a policy OF
tariff revision downward. It is fair TO
say that this report is not credited here.
and certainly il does not do justice TO the
nominee Of the party. There Is every rea-
son TO believe that Mr.. Taft has been
nominated under circumstances which in
sure that he IS IN full accord with every
principle embodied in the platform
adopted at Chicago"

Relief from the excessive heat OF the
last several days came to the people Of
Washington yesterday afternoon in a
rather unexpected fashion. While rhe
housewives were breathing the scaEty
supply OF air that came In through oil
the windows that could be opened, there
suddenly arose a storm Of wind that
resembled miniature cyclone.
1t gave no announcement Of its com
ing. II arrived with the suddenness Of
a head-on collision, and lost no time in
going through houses as unceremoniously
as a wild cat would make its entrance
into a camp OF prairie dogs.
over In Brightwood the wind was ac-
companIed by sort Of phenomenon. A
man looking from the window Of his
apartment had the pleasure Of witnessing
lightning rain, and a beautiful rainbow
all at distance. and while the sun shone
with a resplendency Of white heat
Wind Enjoys n Blow.
But the wind blew Itself out, sending
table things In all directions and strip
ping mantels Of their ornaments. But
the relief was almost instantaneous. The
torrid heat OF the day was borne Nay
with the dust Of the streets and loose
scraps Of paper.
Last night the air was Of a coclneSs
that was most refreshing, and the good
people Of Washington slept three rDws
at time. and pulled all the weeds out
Of the third. II will continue 10 be cool
to-day, according to the forecast OF the
weather man. and there will be general
cause for rejoicing.
Yesterday was the hottest day OF the
season IN Washington II was the hot
test June "a on record for this city. The
weather man said the heat was the cul-
mlnation Of the hot wave that arrived on
Sunday morning last and which has in
creased In intensity daily since then.
While the Weather Bureau reported the
emperature at its height at IS degrees
ht o'clock In the afternoon. the street
thermometer, which residents OF the city
accept as the correct street temperature.
registered 102 at the same hour.
With the wind at o'clock came a drop
in the Thermometer OF about 10 degrees,
and the weather man said the tempera-
ture would be considerably lowered this
morning by local showers and brisk
northwest winds. and that a further drop
Of 10 degrees would not be surprising.
Frustrated by Heat.
Patrick Grady, white, eighty-fve years
Of age. an inmate Of the Soldiers Home,
was overcome by heat yesterday after
noon about 4 o'clock at Tenth and F
streets southwest. He was taken 20 the
Emergency Hospital.
Three negroes. each more than thirty
years old, were among the sufferers from
heat prostration. or these. Amanda Bing-
ham was overcome about 10 o'clock in the
morning az Fourteenth street and Rhode
Island avenue northwest. Henry Briscoe
suffered an attack of heat prostration in
II street. between First and North CapI-
toi streets northwest Joshua Stewart
was overcome az Fourteenth and F
