Taft FavOrS
New Tariff Bill
"The Best Tariff Bill the Re-
publican Party Ever Pass
ed" He Said.

Winona, Mimi, Sept. 17.-Presi-
dent Taft tonight stamped the
Payne Bill as "the best tariff law
the Republican party ever passed."
In a 7,OOO-word speech at the opera
house here he made a detailed de-
Tense of the entire measure. He
vigorously upheld the action of
Representative James A. Tawney
of this city who supported the bill
and therefore is in danger of de-
feat, and said that had the bill been
defeated or had the President We
toed it, the Republican party would
have been d~emoralized, the tariff
agitation would have continued,
business would have been stalled
and prosperity halted and the 9TH
er pledges of the Republican party
to carry out the policies of Roose-
welt, would have been impossible
of redemption.
The President asserted that the
insurgents who voted against the
bill had abandoned the Republican
party.
"Was it the duty of the member
of Congress, who believed that the
hill did not accomplish everything
that it ought to accomplish, to vote
against it?" asked the President.
~ am here to justify those who
answer this question in the mega
tive. 1 am not here to defend those
who voted for the Payne Bill, but
to support them"
ITO make party government eff
fective," the President said tonight
"the members OF that party should
surrender their, personal pre- lie
tons of comparative less import
ance. 1 am not here to criticise
those, who felt so strongly and be-
lieved 80 intensely that it was their
duty to vote against the Tariff Bill
because it did not contain all they
thought it should. 1t was a 1ues-
ton for each man to settle for him
self.
"In' matters of this kind it is a
question with the party represent
tative whether he shall help main
tain the party solidarity for ac-
complishing its chief purposes, or
whether the departure from prin-
ciple in the bill, as he regards it
is SO extreme that he must, ir
conscience, abandon the party.n
Further along, the President
gave this final word to the insur.
gents: ~ am -lglad to see thai
those who voted against the bill
still insist that they r Repubii-
cans, and that they intend to keep
up the, fight for still lower tariff
rates within the party. That Il
their right and, in their view o.
things is their duty.
"An ! have TO say in respect e
Tawney's action in voting for the
bill and my action in signing It, Il
that ! believe that the interests o.
the party, required me to sacrifict
the accomplishment of certain
things in the revision OF the tariff
which I had hoped for, in ordel

MARKET REPORT
 BY PRIVATE WIRES

New York, March 3.-The list was irregular throughout the days session. The lower prices in the early trading were the results of London's easier tone and the desire to secure profits on stocks bought in the recent decline before the inauguration was respon- sible for most of the selling, although the metal issues were lower in sym
 pathy with the balance of the list. The news was of a favorable charac- ter on these specialties. It was re- ported that consuming interests were entering the market activity for sup plies of copper metal, and good-si contracts for finished steel products are expected to be- placed during the next few days. Wage reduction by the Lackawanna Steel company caused some uneasiness on fears that the same action by other companies are likely to meet some opposition from labor and thus cause disorder, but in this respect it is very likely that la bor will have to be liquidated along the line of the recent reduction in various commodities. Feverishness will perhaps be the feature of tomor- rows session until the gist of the presidents speech becomes generally known. LOGAN & BRYAN.

GRAIN.

Chicago, March 3.-It was a big day for the wheat traders and the most important thing to record as a result is the fact that new high prices were made for all months. This action did not take place until after big lot of profit taking occurred during the first half hour The cables were strong and higher but a conservative feeling in the trade led to general ralizing by longs and a half-cent reaction in July. At this point offerings seemed well absorbed and on fresh buying orders it was but a short time until a gen. eral movement to replace holdings and increase lines of long wheat was under way and the market headed for higher prices. The leaders bought when ne cessary to create strength and many pit traders thought that considerable selling was done for that interest on the hard spot. There appears to be a growing feeling of confidence on the buying side of wheat, especially July. and profit taking by shorts was quite general on the reaction of nearly one cent before the close.

AN EXPENSIVE CITIZEN

In the effort to put Abe Rucf in the
Jail from which he has been delivered,
the citizens of San Francisco expended
upward of $3.50, 900. From first 10 last
Abe has been about the costlieSt citizen
with whom Divine Providence has ever
afflicted any community. While Rucf
is out on bail he may ruIninate on the
~jocnlar cantripS of fate, cxcmplificd in
his case. Patriotic citizens and the more
American members of the community
were Mortified by the series of villainies
in poor San Francisco. and when it be-
ar evident t2o u etched Rucf had an
active part i'll the proceedings which
demoraliZcd and disgraced Il great city,
N opinion was formed regarding Rucf
which no evidence that has been adduc-
ed has altered. Rather has that opinion
been confirmed, rs additional light has
been cast OH the transactions i'll San

THE AMERICAN TARIFF is
A GOOD THING FOR THE
TRUSTS AND CANADA

The American tariff undoubtedly is n
good thing-for all special and class
interests. They thrive and wax great
upon it. But, how about the consumer
How about the poor laboring man, in
whose interests, The loud mouthed
average congressman wrougfuily asserts
such legislation is enacted? 1t is also
u good thing for Canada, and has been
a leading factor in the rapid growth of
our active and verile northern neighbor.
Pages could be written to demonstrate
the fact. 1t has been the means of
driving American men there by the
thousands and American money by the
million, which could have been kept at
home. if that country had been given
reciprocity, or even u low tariff.
In commenting upon this matter the
Boston Herald, published in the chief
center of the tariff iniquity, pointedly
remarks:
According to the department of com
merce and labor, there are now l41
branch factories in Canada, represent
ing n capital Of $l25, 600, 600 established
by United State concerns which
formally supplied their Canadian trade
with the product of the industry on
this side of the National border. This
is the result Of retaliatory legislation in
Canada invited by orr W tariff
against Canadian imports. If further
tariff war is invited by imposition of
the maximum schedules against Canada.
still more United States capital will go
over the line to provide employment
and wages for Canadian workmen. At
the present time United States manu-
facturers of cotton are enjoying II rich
Canadian market. In September we
exported to British North America $lG7,-
