TAFT SAYS
THE PAYNE TARIFF is
TO THE PARTY'S CREDIT

WINONA, Mimi, Sept. 17.-President
Tafcs speech delivered here today on
Tie tariff follows:
As long ago as August, 1906, I ven
tured TO announce that ] was a tariff
TeNiSionist and thought that the time
had come for readJustment of the
schedules / pointed ont that it had
been 10 years prior 10 that time that
the Dingley bil had been passed; that
great changes had taken place in the
conditions surrounding the prOduc-
tionS of the farm. the factory and the
mine, and that under the theory of
protection in that time the rates i'm
posed in the Dlngley bill in many in
stances might have become excessive I;
that is, might have been greater than
The differences between the cost of
duction at home, with a sufficient al
1ewance for a reasonable rate of profit
10 the American producer
said the party was divided on this
issue, but in my Judgment the opinion
Of the party was crystalliZing and prob
ably would result IN the near future
in an effort TO make such revision. I
pointed out the difficulty there always
was in a revision of the tariff, due to
tho threatened disturbance of Industries
TO be affected and the suspension of
business, in a way. which made it un-
Rise to have TOO many revisiOns.
POSITION on TARIFF
In the summer Of 1907 nv position
on the tariff was challenged, and i then
entered into a somewhat fuller discus
sion. 1t was contended by the stand
patters" that rates beyond the neces-
sary measure of protection were not
Objectionable because behind the tariff
wall competition always reduced prices
on things. and thus saved the con-
sumer. But 1 pointed out in that
speech, what seems to me as true today
a IL was then, that the danger of ex-
cessive rates was in the temptation
they created TO form monopolies in the
protected articles, and thus to take ad
vantage Of the excessive rates by in
creasing the prices, and therefore in
order TO avoid such a danger it was
wise at regular intervals to examine
the question what the effect of the
rates had been upon the Industries in
this country. and whether the condi-
lions with respect to the cost of pro-
duction here had so changed as to war
rant q reduction in the tariff and &c
make a lower rate truly protective OF
the industry.
QUESTION OF PROTECTION
IT viii be observed that the object
OF the revision under such a statement
was not to destroy protected indus
tries, but to continue to protect them
where lower raes offered a sufficient
protection to prevent injury by foreign
competition. That was the object OF
the revision as advocated by me- and Il
certainly was the object of the revision
promised in the republican platform
want TO make IS clear as ] can this
proposition because in order to deter.
mine whether a bin is a compliance
with the terms Of that platform it mus
be understood what the platform
means. A free trader is opposed Il
any protective rate because he think.
that our manufacturers, our farmer,
and our miners ought 10 withstand IN,
competition of foreign manufacturer,

correspondent or Peary's agent that
We had been to the pole, all reports
emanating from that source are neces-
sarily incorrect.
The argument of the equipment by
one who has not seen or heard Of the
equipment is pure nonsense.
The entire misunderstanding is due
to the fact that Whitney has given
evasive answers. When he returns all
will be cleared up Whitney will sail
down the American coast and probably
enter Hudson bay to hunt big game
COOK
The above wireless dispatch is a re-
ply to a wireless message sent by the
New York Times to DIR. Frederick A.
Cook summarizing a dispatch to the
Herald from its correspondent in the
relief ship Jeanne, which took Harry
Whitney of New Haven off the Roose-
Welt, Commander Peary's ship.
This dispatch, which was forwarded
by Commander Peary, to whom ii was
1ntrusted when the Jeanie left the
Roosevelt, was of particular interest.
DR.. Cook had said. when pressed for
proof of his dash to the north pole
that he had left his data with Whit
ney, who was to bring 1t to tile United
States and that, when Whitney was
heard from, all doubts would be set
at rest.
The Herald's correspondent, when
he wrote his ditpatch, evidently knew
nothing of DR. Cooks claim to the dis
covery of the pole

Why Many Women Suffer
From Constipation
THE natural Remedy

The delicate and intricate character
of the female organs makes them most
susceptible to irregularity, and it Is
most important that each one should
be kept in condition to perform it's
duties In a normal manner. When
womankind is performing the functions
peculiar to her sex there Is decided
tendency to sluggishness of the bowels.
Nature then requires gentle assistant.
Not powerful and expensive remedies
which are so drastic as to damage the
tender lining OF tho bowels and
do more harm than good. but q

son for my success is that L returned
to the primitive life--in fact, became a
savage, sacrificed all comforts to the
race for the pole. The Eskimos gem
orally kept up their courage, but AI-
welah, two days before we reached the
pole, despaired and said It4is good
to die; it is impossible to go beyond
However, / cheered him up and he
never complained afterward, under
going all hardshfps with cheerfulness-'
DR.. Cook said the clothing of the
members of the party wore down to
rags and the Eskimos were obliged to
make fresh garments. They had no
thread and therefore unraveled their
stockings and used the wool for thread.
The Eskimos, he said, proved capital
tailors and made comfortable apparel
They had no eating utensils and their
| light was obtained from musk OK fat
and wick of dried moss. The party
was compelled to exercise the greatest
economy in matches, being limited to
two each day
DID MUCH WRITING
The long winter night was utilized
| by DIR. Cook in writing. He used the
| primitive stone writing desk and lay
prone while at work at his manuscript.
Meanwhile the Eskimos sewed and
sang. The temperature in the snow hut
was rarely above the freezing point.
| Polar bears abounded, making exit
from the hut dangerous.
Once when he was proceeding south
after discovering the pole Dr. Cook had
an exciting adventure with,a polar bear.
He had drawn the canvas upon the ice
and the Eskimos had gone in search of
game, leaving the doctor alone and
/ without weapons or ammunition.
| Doctor Cook, who was asleep in the
/ boat, was suddenly awakened and saw
| a few yards away a bear smiling
about. Finally it pushed its nose into
| the boat. The doctor as scared, but hit
! the bear with a sled runner. The ami
| NAL returned to the attack. Doctor
| Cook shouted loudly and advanced upon
! it fourishing the runner. This so inn
| pressed the animal that it turned and
| fed. Later it was killed by the Eski-
mos.
A dinner in honor of Doctor Cook
was given yesterday. Benjamin True
| blood toasted Doctor Cook, who re-
piled:

Danish cheers to American ports Al
ready you have added Norwegian
/ Swedish and American voices to the

DweLIs on the Point

The statement contained only enough
figures TO make clear a point which
the president has dwelt upon for some
time IN his confidential talks. that the
measure of the new bill should be
taken by the amount of reductions
made on articles of general consump-
tion compared, TO the increases on art
icles little used
The president. by means OF table
prepared at his request by Payne,
showed thar the tariff had been in
creased on articles whose consumption
in this country amounts yearly TO
s651.O0o. 600, and that of this amount
1919 .000.00O is represented by such
luxuries as silks, wines. liquors, per
fumes and pomades. leaving a balance
OF S272,000.0 goo representing increases
on articles not Injuries. Against this.
the president set with great emphasis
the fact that the tariff has been re
duced on articles, mostly necessities.
whose home consumption in this coun-
Try amount annually to S5,ooO,oOoOo0.
The Wooden Schedule
As 10 the woolen schedule. Taft de-
clared without hesitation or equivoca-
ton that the Payne rates were toe
high. 1t was found early in the fight
however, he asserted, that the wool and
wooden manufacturing interests in the
republican party were so strong that
any attempt TO change the Dingley
rates would result in the defeat of the
bin.
Il am sorry that this is so,' said the
president. and / wish it could have
been otherwise. It is the one impor-
tant defect in the bill"

Didn't Tell Whitney

He mentioned that DIR. Cook met
Whitney at Etah April II and said that
DR.. Cook told Whitney of his trip
north. But. far from telling Whitney
that he had discovered the pole, the
correspondent said that Dr. Cook
merely stated that he had gone be-
yond the mark reached by Peary in
1906''
Doctor Cook. he said, spoke also OF
having been well pleased at ''hav-
ing accomplished this"
Instead of mentioning any proof.
that Doctor Cook had intrusted Il
Whitney to show that he had reached
the pole. the correspondent said tha
Cook would not tell Whitney how fal
north he had been. The correspondent
went on to say of Doctor Cook: II
is certain that the condition OF hi.
equipment when he arrived at Cap.
Sabine will be used as basis of deny
ing his claim of having exceeded

clared, the longest sledge trail"

that Peary knew that none existed
and that Whitney had satisfied him
that Cook had not reached the pole.
