lean Product Continues to Make

Washington, Aug. 24.-American
cottonseed oil, despite the high duties
against it, is steadily making head
way in the markets Of the world.
Through the efforts of the bureau Of
manufactures of the department OF
commerce and labor, some packers of
sardines in France and Norway have
promised to begin experiments in
packing fish in the American product
instead of olive OIL
Italy is able to undersell Spain in
the olive oil markets. a report of the
department says, but Spain prohibits
the importation of cotton seed as an
edible, while Italy promotes it.
The domestic use Of cottonseed oil
in Italy, as well as in Turkey, causes
nearly all the native oil (olive) to be
exported.

ANOTHER bUAC0 GAME.
PRESIDENT TAFT SAYS HE IA.
VORS TARIFF REVISION
EXtOrtiOnate and Upra.So,ob,o
Profits He Declares, Are to be
Tolerated No Longer-Hopes for
Harmony.

Beverly, Mass. Aug 23.-President
Tafts keynote speech for the con-
gression campaign became known
here today. The President will ia
vor further revision Of the tariff.
While he is still convinced that
the Payne -Aldrich law is the best
tariff law the country has had up to
this time. he at last reached the con-
clusion that there is decided room
for improvement.
Mr.. Taft does not propose that
business shall be upset by another
wholesale revision, but he will recon-
mend to congress that individual
items in the tariff should be taken
up separately and disposed Of on q
scientific basis. The new revision
is to be based upon the findings of
the tariff commission as to the cos,
OF production at home and abroad
Only fair profit is to be allowed
the American producer. "Extortion-
ate and unreasonable" profits, the
president declares. "are to be tole-
rated no longer"
The president has stated these
facts and has outlined his position
in detail In the letter he has sent
Representative Mckinley for publ.
cation in the Republican congress
sional campaign book. Making II
public has been left to the judgmen,
Of the committee.
Political observers regard this
move as about the shrewdest that
has been made during the present
Administration. It offers an excel
lent opportunity for the insurgents
and regulars to get together In the
campaign and President Taft has
been anxious to find a ground upon
which the different factions could
meet without embarrassment to eth.
er.
The principal fight Of the insur-
gents was upon certain schedules
or the tariff bill. President Taft is
willing to go more than half way in
the matter. At the same time, Le is
backing up the regulars in that he
believes that they did the best they
possibly could with the unreliable in
formation that was in their hands.
With the creation of the tariff
board under the Payne -Aldrich act,
and the enlargement of it's power by
provision of the last congress, the
president believes a way has been
opened to put the traiff on a scientific
basis for the first time in the history
of the country
