RATES ARE HIGHER
TAFT's CLAIM OF DOWNWARD
REVISION IS NOT True.
The Testimony Of Experts Cont-o-
verts Presidents Expression Re
carding New Tariff Bill.

The Washington correspondent OF
The State says President Tast's claim
that congress has revised the tariff
down did not look we'll in parable!
columns IN the newspapers Friday
| morning with numerous ste les TO
the effect that the steamships made
race against time across the ocean
In az effort to get their carsoes
under the custom house w.re before
the new tariff should become efec-
tive.
There could have been no sueh
racing with downward revision. IN
fact the presidents statement IN
justification OF his signing the new
tariff bill did not make very much
OF an impression anywhere for 1t
Is universal testimony OF all the
tariff experts that the rates in the
new bill impose average duties OF
nearly per cent excess OF those
levied by the DingIey law.
The president IN his statement ad-
nitted that the bill was not per-
feet. but he evidently had no mis-
giviogs as to the p.opriety and Wis
dom Of his signing the measure. He
had no such doubts as Influenced
Former President Cleveland. who al
lowed the Wilson bill to become a
law without attaching to It his sig
nature. AS matter Of fact the
new tariff bill is the first great and
distinctive feature OF the new ad-
min!st.ation and the president viii
share whatever OF djscredtt OF glory
attaches to tie measure.
It is not contended by any one
that the new tariff measure will re-
duce prices to the consumer. The
Republican leaders are hoping that
such an era OF prosperity VIII re-
suit from now OF as 20 make the
public forget the tailncs to revise
the ta7t1 downward. as was pronis-
ed in the campaign. While hoping
for this result. there is no doubt
OF the fact that the Republicans are
very much worried.
They realize that many OF the
insurgents will assist the bill IN
Republican communities and on the
chatauoua circuit They are also
fearful that dig section OK the Re
publican press will join in the at
tack. Senator LaFollette gave no.
tlce in the senate that be Is going
out on the warpath and will assail
the bill.
Thus the great Republican party

into en- scrid Joint debate with
itself.
The Democrats are returning

O. the census n South Carolina

J. G. C.pers. For some time The
News and Courier correspondent has
made repeated efforts to ascertain
what line Of policy Director Du.and.
o: the census bureau. would follow
with regard to the appointment OF
census supervisors in the South. es-
pec,ally in South Carolina. Nj. Du-
rand has apparently been as much
in the dark as any one else. but grad
unily little by little his plans are
unfolding.
To members Of the South Carolina
delegation In congress, who have
.npo-tuned Mr.. Durand for some In
d.cae.on as 70 what be would do.
che latter has been exceedingly stin-
~ with bis information. A few days
exo. however. Il was learned through
ono OF the South Carolina members
that Democrats are TO fare very poor
y when the appointments are made
II. indeed. any al all are recognized:
tia. all applications. whether from
Democrat, OK Republicans. must
h.ye the Blalock-Capers OK be-

Ike Beaufort and Charleston. where
there Is large negro population.
tho latter are to be rewarded with

OF the sections where the negroes
outnumber the whites
Representative Patterson. who saN
Director Durand a few days ago
shout the. matter. Informed the ci-
rector that It would no: do 10 ap-
posn. negro enaneraters. and he
further informed him that so far as
ths white people OF Beaufort anc
other counties IN South Carolina are
concerned. they would not stand sos
It. It was then practically decided
that negroes should work only IL
negro sections and white men in
white sections. It came out IN the
interview tha: capers and Blaloek
would probably advise all a2pii-
eants before Anal action
Ar. capers has acted with con-
siderable courtesy to the members OF
the delegation who have approached
him about The matter. taking into
consideration the fact that he could
hardly be supposed to fail in with
their plans for the appointment OF
