The republican national platform
declared "unequivocally for revision
of the tariff and Mr.. Taft as the can
didate, time and again during the
campaign declared that that declara-
ticn meant downward revision and
1t the tariff bill which was promised
rs been revision upwards. Any one
no might have contradicted Mr.. Taft
turing the campaign and have said
That revision of the tariff did not
mean revision downward as Mr.. Taft
continually said it did, that man
sould have been denounced as an en-
my of the republican party and per-
sonal assailant of President Taft's
good faith. And that is true today.
70 argue now that tariff revision did
not mean revision downward, loses
sight not only of the sentiment of the
country at the time, but of the VIII ole
tendency of the campaign.
II has only been another case of
fooling the people.
