ROOSEVELT MEETS
PRESIDENTS
EM|SSARY
COLONEL TALKS WITH GRiscoM,
BUT NO WORD or RESULT
is MADE PUBLIC.

Oyster Bay, Aug. l5.--No tidings
went fortE from Sycamore Hill today
ut the conclusion OF the conference be-
tween Theodore Roosevelt and Lloyd
G. Griscom, chairman of the New York
republican county committee. The
county chairman IL known to have
been the bearer of message from
President Taft, and IL was generally
supposed that the message was sent in
the hope Of obtaining Colonel Roose-
velt's outspoken support in move to
obtain harmony within the republican
party But when Mr. Grscom went
awny, after talk which lasted most
Of the day, the only thing he was will
ing to speak about was the New York
state situation. He said Taft and
Roosevelt were In full accord In that
regard. In spite OF Colonel Roosevelt's
reticcnce, 1t IL believed here that he
had mapped out program which does
not include, for the present at least,
a definite Endorsement of the Taft adj
ministration, There Is good ground
for the belief that the visit of Mr..
Griscom today on his return from
Beverly has not caused him to alter his
opinion.
Mr.. Griscom was not anxious to
make 1t appear that he had come to
Sycamore Fill as an emissary from
the president. He not only said that
the president had not sent him, but
added that Mr.. Taft did not know to-
days conference was to be held.
How do the views OF President Taft
and ex-President Roosevelt coincide
In reference to national politics?" Mr..
Griscom was asked
The county chairman replied. Il
did not discuss national politics to any
great extent with President Taft"
Are they agreed as to the New
York state situation?"
Yes, have discussed candidates
and platforms and the whole New
York state situation with both OF IN en-.
and their Views coincide"
~ Mr.. Griscom said that no names had
been mentioned prominently FOR .l,e
g,ibernat0rial nomination., although a
good many have been considered.

fects the price OF farm products, as
commemorative Gardner, of MaSsa-
chusetts. admitted in a speech IN Con-
eress while the Payne-Aldrich tariff
bill was pending. The farmers have
no trust by which they q fix arbl-
trarily high prices III the domestic
market, while dumping their surplus
products in foreign markets at q
cheaper price. But the protected
manufacturers have formed trusts
and monopolies. They are able to do,
and do do what the farmers cannot
do. The tariff shuts out foreign COM
petition, and in cases where it does
not it is still so high that it greatly
increases the price Of the imported
articles. BY their monopoly agree
ments the trusts stifle domestic com
petition. and so they keep prices arti-
ficially high, eNacting exorbitant prof
it's from the American consumers.
If the trusts were forced to stand
on the same footing as the farmer tho
prices Of their products, governed by
free competition and the law Of suD-
ply and demand, would fall Off, as the
prices OF farm products fail. The
farmer, who is now compelled to sell
cheaper: could buy cheaper. But IN
der tho policy Of trust protection the
farmer is compelled to pay more for
what he buys, just as the wage earner
must, While receiving less for what he
sells,
The Payne-Aldrjch tariff is a monu-
mental buncO game. Everybody who
has TO buy trust products-and that
mea all of us-is a victim. But the
biggest victim of all is the farmeF
