The battlecry of Downward revi-

have rallied in the recent legislative
doings at Washington. is a new phrase
and represents a new phase of the
political situation. Party lines have
become so mixed up in the last few
months of tariff discussion that one
who has not closely followed the rapid
changes in the situation is apt to have
difficulty in recognizing the party and
A lot of new lotteries confront him.
There are the "progressives' among
the Republicans, also sometimes called
"~insurgents.' and there are the Dem.

some of their party with being protec.

high tariff men in the house of repre-

Taft's plan for free raw materials and
reduction of duties on manufactured
the masses have also been referred to
as insurgents.
In the inception of the movement in
the Republican party for revision of
the tariff those who favored it We're
called 'revisionists" and those oppos-
ing stand patters." 1t was then taken
for granted that If there We're any re-
vision at all it would be a revision
with at least a downward tendency.
But after the Payne bill was passed
and the Aldrich measure was intro
duced in the senate some members of
that body took the position that the
Republican platform did not promise q
downward revision and that to revise
the tariff upward would not be in vio-
lation of party pledges. This, how
ever. was not the way President Taft
saw the matter; hence his stand for a
positive revision downward and the
resulting fight along this line by those
claiming to represent his views among
the tariff conferees.
