Washington. August 6.-Presldent
Taft last night gave out the following
statement of his views on the new
tariff act:
81 signed the Payne tariff bill De-
cause | believe it is the result OF
sincere effort on the part OF the re-
publiean party to make a downward
revision and comply with the prom
ises of the platform as generaiiy I'M
derstood. and as | interpreted them
in the campaign before election:
s.This is not a perfec- tariff bill,
nor a complete compliance with the
promises made strictly interpreted.
But a fulfillment free from criticism
in respect to matter involving 50
many schedules and thousands OF aTti-
Giles could not be expected. Excepting
in regard to whisky, liquors, Wines'
silks and some high classes OF cot
tons-all of which may be treated as
,uxuries and proper subjects OF a
revenue tariff-there has been very
few increases in rates
..There has been a great NUMBER
of real decreases and they constitute
a suficient amount to justify the
statement that this bill is substan-
t;al downward revision, and a reduc-
ton of excessive rates.
.This is not free trade bill. lt was
not intended to be. The repuDilcan
party did not promise to make nee
trade bill. 1t promised to make 'ne

TARIFF BILL PASSED:
CONGRESSADJOURNED


We'll, have not signed the bill
yet said the president, do you think
ought to adjourn congress before \

There having been a great deal of
talk about the possible veto, every
body, in the room caught the signif-
canoe of the presidents joculal
query.
aI certainly do not" hastily res
ponded Mr. Aldrich and he joined in
the general laughter.
Immediately after signing the gen.
eral tariff bill, the president signed
the Philippine tariff measure with a
pen sent from the Philippines for that
purpose A broad smile of satisfac-
ton overspread his face and he wrote
his name with a flourish not in evil
dence when he signed the other bill.
The president rode back to the
white house through driving storm,
although the sun was bright when he
came to the capital.
Signing the tariff bill was preceded
by busy day in both houses. In the
senate, following the adoption of the
conference report and the concurrent
resolution for the reduction of leather
duties, the McCumber resolution pro-
viding an additional rebate regula-
ton for the tariff bill, amended to In
clude the provision for free cotton bag
ging. was adopted without division.
While awaiting final adjournment a
resolution was adopted thanking the
vice president for the able and i'm
partial manner wherein he presided.
Mr.. Sherman thanked the senate and
declared the extraordinary session ad-
journed.
The house devoted the day to per-
fecting the tariff bill and transact1ng
a mass of routine business. Mr..

satisfaction and discomfort.

Before adjourning the house Speaker
Cannon thanked the members for the
efficient, faithful, and, in my judg-
ment. wise service during the spec1ai
session Representing ninety MIL
lions of people producing third OF
all the products of the clvlllzed

chosen representatives of the people
come together with varying interests,
while yirile constituencies, they dis
agree as to proper legislative policies.
Out of that disagreement comes COM

except by the vote of a majority, and

legislation. We performed our duty 10
the best of our ability. Wishing you
a safe Journey home, health and safe
return, I declare the first session OF

The members appeared too tired TO
indulge in the usual closing hllarlty.
They filed solemnly out, exchanging
goodbyes.
