For weeks Latham had been making
elaborate preparations for his attempt

ARBEITER FOLK CELEBRATE.

the tariff has already been revised up
ward 65-l00 per cent.
All that Taft and the conference
committee may do between now and
Christmas cannot possibly result In
revision downward.
The governments bureau OF stats
tics mas told the story. The bill. sub
mitted TO the bureau by La Toilette
at the same time 1t went 10 the con
ference committee, has been analysed
and tabulated as those experts In nS
ures and percentages only know how
TO analyze and tabulate And this IL
what they found:
How Bill Stands.
THE bill as passed by the senate
upon the basis OF the importauons
OF 1907 leaves unchanged the duties
upon imports OF the value of $!40'
lO6.037, or 64.65 per cent; duties are
increased upon imports OF the value
OF Sl49.7l6.619 or 21.5l per cen;
while the decreases affect Imports
OF the value of $96,3Cy.619, or 1884
per cent he average increase of the
entire bill is 5.65 per cent.
Looking at IL from another angle
the experts guhre that the average
increase Of duty amounts TO 81 per
cent. Wniie the average decrease
amounts to % per cent.
Ii will be noted that the Aldrich
tariff bill leaves the rates as they
are xedh by the present law on
about nJ per cent uf the imports
which come to our shores. To this
per cent may be added another ID
as representing duties already the
subject of agreement between the
senate and the house conferees
Should all the duties involved In the
remaining % per cent be reduced
10 the CURES of the house schfedules,
II is all easy mathematical calcula-
ton To see that the total would not
be a reduction Of the duties from the
present Dngley law
But il must be borne in mind that
there are two additional provisions
OF the law which will result In higher
duties, no matter what the rates ap.
pear 20 be in these Payne-Aldrich
schedules. These are the customs
courts and the adoption of specific
in place of ad valorem duties The
purpose of these changes were freely
admitted by Aldrich TO be the stiffen-
Ing Of the tariff rates Higher prices
will be ,hc consequence.
Operating in n sifilar way will be
the maximum and minimum features
of the tariff law.
The Partys Pledge.
And now that IL is all over, ii may
be proper again TO consider whether
or rfot there has been Il conscientious
and full performance OF what was
promised when President Taft, then
candidate for the presidency, said, III
speaking to an audience at Des
Moines. Sept %. 1908:
The party is pledged To genuine
revision, and as the temporary neal
OF that party and as president of the
United states if 1t be successful in
November, | expect 10 use AL the in.
fluence | have to secure a genuine
and honest revision of the tariff"
And when at Milwaukee he said.
ION the whole the tariff ought to
be lowered 1t is my judgment that a
revision Of the tariff I'm accordance
with the pledge of the Republican
party will be on the whole substan'
tial revision downward"
