this regard.
On Sept. rs. 1908. Mr.. Taft de-
|livered another speech on the tar
iff in Des Moines, la. In that
speech Mr.. Taft said:
THE party Is pledged to
GENUINE revision and as the
Temporary head of that party, and
president Of the United States, II
1t be successful in November. !
EXPECT TO USE ALL THE IN
FLUENCE THAT / HAVE by CALI
ing Immediately a special session
and by recommendations to con-
gress secure a GENUINE AND
HONEST revision of the tariff In
accordance with the principle of
protection laid down in the plat
form, based upon the examination
of appropriate evidence and I'M
PARTIAL AS BETWEEN THE
CONSUMER AND MANUFAC-
TURER.
1T is my judgment, as 1t is that
of many republicans, that there
are MANY schedules of the tariff
IN WHICH THE RATES ARE
EXCESSIVE, and there are a
FEW in which the rates are not
sufficient to fill the measure of
conservative protection.
1T is my judgment that revi-
sion of the tariff in accordance
with the pledge of the republican
party will be, ON THE WHOLE,
A SUBSTANTIAL REVISION
though there prob
ably will be a few exceptions in
this regard.
AS the temporary leader of the
party l do not hesitate to say with
all the emphasis of which / am
capable that If the party is given
the mandate of power In Novem-
Der, 1t WILL PERFORM ITS
PROMISES IN GOOD FAITH.
Again on March 4, in his inau-
gural address, the president said:
1T is thought that there has
been such a change in conditions
since the enactment of the Ding
ley act, drafted on a similarly pro-
tsctive principle, that the meas
ure of the tariff above stated will
permit the REDUCTION of rates
in certain schedules and will re-
quire the advancement OF FEW,
IF ANY"
How have the president and the

NOT BE so HIGH AS TO FUR
|NISH A TEMPTATION TO THE
FORMATION OF MONOPOLIES
TO APPROPRIATE THE UNDUE
PROFIT OF EXCESSIVE RATES.
On July %, 1908, in his first
speech of acceptance, the presi-
dent said, 1.-THE tariff
IN A NUMBER Of the schedules
EXCEEDS the difference between
the cost of production of such
articles abroad and at home, in
GLIDING a reasonable profit to the
American producer.
"The EXCESS over that differ
ence SERVES NO USEFUL PUR-
POSE, but OFFERS A TEMPTA-
ITION TO THOSE WHO WOULD
MONOPOLIZE THE PRODUC-
TION AND THE SALE OF SUCH
ARTICLES IN THIS COUNTRY
TO PROFIT BY THE EXCES-
SIVE RATES.
ION the other hand, there are
OWN II II w othCi bChCuuiOS III
which the tariff is not sufficiently
high to give the measure protec-
ton which they should receive up
on republican principles, and as to
those the tariff should be raised.
"A revision of the tariff under
taken upon this principe, which
is at the basis of our present bust
ness system, begun promptly up
on the incoming of the new ad-
ADMINISTRATION and considered at a
special session with the prelim-
mary Investigations already begun
by the appropriate committees of
the house and senate, will make
the disturbance of business Incl
dent to such change as little as
possible"
Again. in a speech delivered al
Cincinnati, Sept. 2, 1908, Taft
said:
Another thing the republican
party pledges itself to, fixes the
date when it will do it, and tells
you how it will do it, is the re-
vision of the tariff.
1.-The Dingley tariff has served
the country well, but its rates
HAVE BECOME GENERALLY
EXCESSIVE. They have become
excessive because conditions have
changed since its passage in 1895.
SOME of the rates are probably
too low, due also to the change
in conditions.
but, ON THE WHOLE, the
tariff ought to be lowered in &C
cordance with the republican prin-
Iciples and the policy of our in
dustries."
And further along in the same
speech, the president said:
THAT Is, every schedule ought
to be arranged SO that the tariff
on the products of the factory,
farm and mine shall be equal to
the differential between the cost
of their production in this coun-
TRY and the cost of material, the
cost of labor, and the manufacture

lcerned, and says that no such
tariff revision can be made, In
view of the fact that the protec

they would have opposed revision
altogether.
The MOVEMENT IN FAVOR
OF REVISION HAS ARISEN
WITHIN the republican party and
is PRESSED FORWARD BY
MEMBERS OF THE republican
party.
1.-The revision which they desire
Is a revision WHICH SHALL RE-
DUCE EXCESSIVE RATES and
at the same time preserve the in
dustries of the country. 1t took
some time, as 1t always does in a
party, to crystalize this senti-
ment."
''In his answer to Mr.. Bryan's
speech on the tariff question, in a
speech delivered at Milwaukee on
Sept. "a, 1908, Mr.. Taft said:
1.-THE encouragement which in
dustry received (under the policy
of protection) leads to the invest
ment of capital in it, to the train
ing of labor, to the exercise of
the inventive faculty of which the
American has so much, and in
practically every case in which
adequate protection has been
given the price of the article has

"Still it must be admitted that
such a practice, II it is constant
through all seasons, suggests that
THE TARIFF MAY BE PROPER
ILY REDUCED.
1.-THE rank and file of the re-
publican party are in favor of
THIS revision, but insist that it
shall be in accordance with the
time-proven policy of the party
of protection. Under these cir
cumstances there can be NO doubt
that the representatives elected

ty to make NEW tariff on the
