Washington, Special. al.-President
TaH Thursday gave out a statement
embadying his views Of the new tariff
act, which he designates officially as
the Payne bill,'' in accordance with
past custom of giving first recogni-
ton to theN framer of the measure in
the House 'of Representatives.
The statement in full follows:
ST have signed the Payne tariff
bill because / believe it to be the re-
suit of a sincere, effort on the part
of the Republican party to- make a
downward revision, and to comply
with the promises of the platform as
they have been generally understood,
and as / interpreted them in the cam
paign before election.
The bill is not perfect tariff bill,
or complete compliance with the
promises made, strictly interpreted,
B but fulillment, free from criticism
in respect to a subject matter in
yolving many schedules and thou
sands of articles, could not be expect
ed. 1t sufices to say that except
with regard to whiskey, liquors and
wines, and in regard to silks and as
to some high class cottons-all of
which may be treated as luxuries and
proper subjects of revenue tariff
there have been very few increases
in rates.
There have been a great number
Of real decreases in rates and they
constitute sufficient amount to JUS
tify the statement that his bill is
substantial downward revision. and a
reduction of excessive rates.
ssThis is not a free-trade bill. It
was not intended to be. The Repub-
iican party did not promise to make a
free-trade bill.
stIt promised to make the rates
protective, but to reduce them when
they exceed the difference between
the cost of production abroad and
here, making allowance for the great
er normal profit on active invest
ments here. I believe that while this
excess has not been reduced in
. number of cases, in a great majority,
the rates are such as are necessary to
protect American industries, but are

------.---...-s 8. aurIug farmers the
free sale of leaf tobacco places re-
striction on the retail dealer which
requires him to record every sale
amounting to two pounds or more to
one person in one day. A number of
other ironclad requirements included
in the redraft of this section, as
adopted by the conference committee,
are intended to prevent any frauds
upon the internal revenues and at
the same time give as much Of local
market as possible to the tobacco
grower.
Corporation Tax.
Every corporation, joint stock COM
pany, OF association organized for
profit, and every insurance company
is required to pay annually an ex-
else tax of j per cent. upon its net
income over and above $4,000. This
feature was put into the bill to raise
additional revenues to apply on the
Treasury deficit.
1t is estimated that $20,0O0,000 to
$3O,O0O,000 a, year will be collected
under this new form Of Federal tax
alton.
The Metal Schedule.
Probably the most marked redue-
tions throughout any schedule in the
bill as result of the action of the
two houses and of the conference
committee, are found in the metal
schedule. Beginning with decrease
in the rate of iron ore of 40 to Is
cents per ton, there is general re-
duction throughout that portion Of
the bill, pig iron going down from
81 to $3.50 per ton. and scrap iron
from 81 to 81. The reduction on
msny of the items in this schedule
amounts to about so per cent. and
his reduction incluGas steel rails
There is an increase on structural
steel ready for use, and also a sSshs
increase on razors, nlppers and pliers,
and on such new metals as tungsten.
Lumber AID Cotton.
Rough lumber goes down from So
to S1.25 per LOCO feet, with a CORE
spending reduction in the differential
on dressed lumber.
The entire cotton schedule was re-
constructed, and the phraseolosy
changed in the hope of preventing
reductions through decisions by the
courts. such as1have characterized
the administration Of the Dinsley
law during latter days.
In many instances the yates in
tended to be imposed by the Dingley
law were cut by these decisions, the
reductions in some instances being
from go per cent. to 8 per cent, ad
valorem. 1t is estimated that the
rates fixed by the bill are about )
per cent. higher upon an average
than those collected on cottons last
year. The rates on cotton hosiery
are generally increased.
In the much-contested natter OF
the rate Son gloves, the high protec-
tionists fail to score.

a member of the negro mob that as
