Presidency that wise and judicial
statesman, William H. Taft.
Almost the first act of the new
administration was to urge upon Con-
gress the enactment into law Of the
tariff pledges Of the Chicago plat
form of 1908. The passage Of a tariff
act in the first six months of the ad-
ministration was unprecedented. but
as with all tariff acts, it's passage
was followed with misrepresentation
and mis-statement.
mo tariff law ever passed comes
as near solving the Republican prin-
ciple of protection as the Payne tariff
law. Despite the torrent of abuse to
which Il has been subjected. it has
now passed its first birthday with a
record that is confounding TO its crit
les and a revelation to its friends. |
will not now go into the operation
Of any particular schedule for any tar
IN law must be judged by its effect as
a complete measure. Judged as pro-
ducer OF revenue. Il has turned a def
icit Of over 50.000000 in that one year
Of it's life to a surplus Of over S20,-
600. 900
This is a bill which is fair to the
laboring man, and the manufacturer
and to the people in general and the
Payne tariff law will justify itself Just
as the Mckinley bill justified itself.
"To my mind the most important
provision of the tariff law is the tariff
board. which will enable the President
TO lay before Congress the exact facts
with which to apply the principle of
protection. as laid down in the party
platform of 1905"

cially gave him great pleasure to ac-
cept the honor conferred upon him by

that he considered every delegate
present his personal friend.
