TAFT AND THE TARIFF.

Commenting on Taft's Winona
speech, The Wahpeton Globe Gazette
has the following editorial In part:
President Tafts winona address is
one Of the ciearest and strongest ut
terances upon the tariff bin just pass
ed. During the progress OF the bill
through congress It seemed almost inn
possible to get to the people the truth
of what was being done In reducing
the duties. Almost as soon as the bill
was introduced In the house the press
of the large cities began to declare that
the revision would net be downward,
and having so prophesied, they seemed
determined to not modify that proph-
ecy no matter what might be the final
schedule Of rates. So reticent has been
The press In putting the truth Of tariff
reductions before the public that the
president himself took this occasion to
show the sweeping reductions in near
ly every schedule
His statements are so clear and his
demonstrations so conclusive that no
paper without simplifying itself can
still deny that this tariff revision was
a very decided downward revision. The
new law is not only the best that could
be secured, but, as declared by the
president, 1t is one Of the best tariff
laws we have ever had. and no great
err calamity could have befallen the
republican party than would have re-
suited had 1T failed TO pass a bill at
this session. OF course every bill and
every item of a bill liz a compromise
between those demanding the highest
tariff and those demanding the lowest
or no tariff, and no one item could
possibly represent +he exact choice OF
every legislator The whole will how
ever, represent the average demand of
all sections Of the country.
