Payne-AIdrich Tariff
Breaks All Records

Washington, Sept. 3.-Uncle Sans
import trade, under the Payne Aldrich
tariff law during the past year was a
record-breaker, according to govern
ment statistic experts. Under this law
during the twelve months ending July
81 last, imports aggregating 81, 562, :
100000 came into the United States.
OF this vast total. s7s4.600,000 was
listed as dutable, while S76S, 600, 900
entered free Of duty. Although it was
the first year of the Payne Aldrich law
it eclipsed all former records under
the Dingley, Wilson and Mckinley
laws.
Until the Payne-Aldrich law became
effective Aug. /. 1909. the banner year
Of the previous eighteen years had
been 1907, when under the Dingley act
an aggregate of s1,45S,5oo.000 Of inn

The Endorsement speech.

The colonel's speech was as follows:
4 was particularly pleased will
what the president said in his last
letter on the subject of the tariff com
mission.
"a number OF senators and con-
gressmen have for some years advo-
Gated this as the proper method OF
dealing with the tariff and am glad
that the country seems now to have
definitely awakened to the idea that q
tariff commission offers the only solu
tion Of the problem which is both ma
tional, and insures the absence of job
berry.
Il call your attention to the fact
that the amendment proposing TO pro-
vide for such a commission in the
original bill when the tariff bin was
under consideration in the senate was
introduced by your own senator here
the present Senator Dolliver."
ut was characteristic act Of serv-
ice to the people on the senator's part
and / wish to take this opportunity OF
saying that throughout my term as
president on every important question
it was my privilege to stand shoulder
to shoulder with Senator Dolliver, Let
me add, my friends, that what / have
said of Senator Dolliver, can also
say Of your congressman, Hubbard.
"A word here for my friend Con-
gresham Martin, although he is not
from Iowa. but from South Dakota,
he also, was man who absolutely
stood by me on every point throughout
my term and with whom was able
to work in hearty sympathy for every
progressive policy,
"All three or these men, found aft
er trying them out, stood without
hitching; perhaps that smile suits
South Dakota better than Iowa, where,
should say. that they never kicked
over the pail.
There is another feature Of the tar
III law which is admirable and points
out a course in the right direction,
the maximum and minimum provision,
and here again ! wish to point out
that value of provision has depended
largely upon the excellent work done
by the administration In negotiation
