Of the value Of tee.sss.sis. or iat4
per cent. The average increase Of
the entire hill is b.e5 per cent
Looking At Il from another angle
the experts figure that the aver
age Increase OF duty amounts TO
81 per cent. while the average de-
crease amounts to 20 per cent"
II will be noted that the Aldrieh
tariff bill leaves the rates az they
are fired by the present law on
about s. per cent Of the imports
which come to Our shores. To this
per cent may be added another 10,
as representing duties already the
subject Of agreement between the
senate and the house conferees.
Should all the duties involved in
the remaining 20 per cent be re-
duced to the figures OF the house
schedules, It Ia an easy mathemat-
zeal calculation to see that the to-
tai would not be a reduction Of the
duties from the present Dingiey
Law.
Means Htaher Prices.
Blu, Il must be borne In mind
that there are two additional pro-
visions Of the law which will re-
sui, In higher duties. no matter
what the rates APPEAR TO BE In
these Psyne-Aldrloh schedules.
These are the customs court and
the adoption Of specific in place Of
ad Valofen duties. The purposes Of
these changes were freely admit
ted by Aldrleh to be the stlffening
Of the tariff rates. Higher prices
will be the consequences
Operating In similar way will
be the maximum and minimum fea-
lures Of the tariff law.
What Taft Said.
And now that II Is all over. Il
may be proper again TO consider
whether or not there has been a
conscientious and full performance
Of what was promised when presi-
dent Taft. then candidate for the
presidency. said. in speaking to an
audience at Des Molnes. Sept. IS,
1905:
THE party is pledged to A GEN.
ulNE revision, and as the tempo
rary head Of that party, and as pres.
ident Of the United States, u II be
successful in November, | expect to
use ALL THE INFLUENCE THAT
HAVE to secure a GENUINE and
HONEST revision Of the tariff"
And when at Milwaukee he sala:
"on the whole, the TARIFF
OUGHT TO BE LOWERED; Il is
my Judgment that revision Of the
tariff In accordance with the pledge
Of the republican party will be ON
THE WHOLE A SUBSTANTIAL
