TOO LATE, MR.. PRESIDENT

stantial revision downward, though
there probably will be few excep-
tIons in this regard. AS the Temporal

November, it will perform its prom
Use in good faith. "

And at Des Moines the following
day he repeated the statement, in
substance:
q" T. is my judgment that revis-
ion of the tariff in accordance with
the pledge of the Republican party
will he, on the whole, substantial
revision downward, though there
probably will be a few exceptions i'm
this regard.
In his Winona speech President
Taft said:
With respect to the wool sched-
ule, l agree that il is too high and
That il ought To have been reduced.
and that it probably represents con-
slderably more than the difference
between the cost OF production
abroad and the cost OF production
here.
II the President had discussed the
bill more at length, he might have
named a great many other schedules

too hi, }.
Al least there is good ground for

Congressman Champ Clark, Dem.
of Missouri very aptly character
ICES This pathetic letter of the Presi-
dent rs "a motion for new trial

versus the standpatters.
Mr.. Clark also remarks i'm this
connection that the President had
line opportunity to influence the re-

pie Will be enamored OF any revision
which would be suggested by his
Board of Standpatters. " Mr.. Clark
is right in this. The Republican
party, in openly violating its ante

'slnned away its day of grace, and
in another ante-election promise TO
do in the next Conrgess what il
promised and failed to do in the
present one, even though it came
from the same smiling lips that
sang the siIen song to the peonIe
two years ago-will not save it from
defeat.
The Democrats are gong TO con-

other "standpat iers" and promoters
OF the system, shamefulIy vio-
