 Hon. Nelson W. Aldrich, Chairman
 Committee on Finance, United States
 Senate, Washington. D. c.
 " My Dear Senator: Under instructions from President Taft I was in Washing ton and gave such aid as l was able to the finance committee in the Senate in the preparation of the tariff act of 1909.
 Regarding paragraph 463, urged that the rates of duty specified therein should be made 35 per cent instead of 90 per cent, as In paragraph 449 of the Ding ley act In support of that recommenda- ton I gave the following reasons to the committee: Under the act of 1897 there were in excess of 5000 cases litigated be- fore the board of general appraisers and the courts due to the fact that para graph 449 imposed 30 per cent ad valorem on manufacturers of bone. chip. grass, horn, India rubber. straw, etc. While ma nufactures of wood, under paragraph POS; paper under paragraph 407; hard rub Der and leather, under paragraph 45o; dolls under paragraph AS, and hats, bon- nets, hoods, untrimmed for women and children. composed of chip, straw, grass or palm leaf, in paragraph 409 were all subject to a duty of 35 per cent ad valorem and these litigated cases involved the almost hopeless task of determining which of the materials was the compo- nent of the chief value. Chips, straw and grass, when manufactured into articles. unless specially named in the tariff act. are always in combination with wood paper or leather; hence, 1t invariably fol- | lowed that the government contended | that the materials which were subject | to duty of S5 per cent were the com | ponents of chief value, whilst the i'm porters maintained that chip, grass or straw, which were subject to duty of 30 per cent were of more value than the other materials. It was especially dini- cult to determine whether the wood con | tained in innumerable articles was In the | form of chip or of wood. Baskets, toll cts and hundreds of different descrip- tions of goods were consequently claimed by the importers to be dutiable at 30 per | cent as chip, while the government eon- tended that the material was not chips but wood-or wood split very fne-and l--Xt l.

Imports Falling on

There has been in recent years consld- erable falling off in the value of the imports of rubber manufactures owing largely to the fact that the American manufacturers swere gradually taking possession of the American market for automobile tires and the fact that two of the most important makers of tires unnameable now transferred their plants
 for the supply of their American market to the United States company.
 When the tarin bill reached the finance committee 1t was stated to us by the treasury experts who had been assigned by the President to assist the committee In the preparation of amendments that 1t was extremely desirable that the rates of duty imposed by paragraphs 1+O 427 l 455 and 465 of the House bill on the mis i cellaneous manufactures of various ma terials should be uniform with the rates l imposed on similar manufactures in othe, parts of the bill

ANNUAL Reunion
EGRAND ARMY men
(6y Union Associated Press,

Atlantic City, N. j., Sept. 17.-Gray-
haired and bent and old the ''boys in
blue are gathering here today for
what will doubtless be, for many of
them, the last great reunion. AL
though the forty-fourth annual en-
campment of veterans arrived today,
determined not to miss minute of
the conclave of the comrades Most
of the visitors spent the day in sight
seeing and in re-telling the tales of
the vanished days when the Yanks
chased the Johnny Rebs over the
, bloody battlefields of the South and
were themselves chased in turn. 1t
is evident that the old animosities
have been buried by most of the vet
Grams, and, with very few exceptions.
the grizzled warriors are ready and
anxious to extend the hand of fellow
ship to their vanquished foemen.
Many of the Grand Army men hope
and dream of a last grand encamp-
ment when the Grand Army and the
United Confederate Veterans will
meet in joint session and bury the
Ratchet finally and for all time. It
is not impossible that such a dream
may yet become reality, and there
was much informal discussion of the
subject by the veterans today. Balti-
more. Louisville, Cincinnati and St.
Louis have been suggested as desir-
able cities for such a reunion, all be-
ing near the border separating North
and South.
Veterans arriving today found ma
tional headquarters open on Youngs
million-dollar ocean pier. Comman-
der-in-Chief Van SAINT has his head
quarters at the Hotel Chalfonte. The
executive committee of the national
council of administration will meet
Monday morning. The council itself
will hold it's session on Tuesday morn
ing. The parade is scheduled for
Wednesday, and the business session
for the day following.
Among the candidates for the COW
eted position of commander-in-chief of
the Grand Army during the coming
year are Post Department Commander
John E. Gilman of Massachusetts, and
John McElroy, of Washington, editor
of the National Tribune, the official
organ of the Grand Army.

ACTION DELAYED ON
COTTON BILLS MATTER

London, Sept. 17.-No meeting of
the committee of European bankers
has been called as yet to consider the
refusal of the American bankers to
guarantee the bills of lading on Amer
lean cotton shipments. 1t may be
some days before further action is
taken, as several members of the com
mittee are out of town.
In the meantime the situation is the
subject of considerable interest to cot
ten and banking circles. The general
opinion appears to be that the matter
will right itself. The head of one of
the three firms which opposed the ac-
ton of the Conference on Wednesday
explained today that while he refused
to sign the resolution, he would not
do anything to prevent the committee
securing the guarantee desired.
If a settlement is not reached be
fore October 81, it will be necessary
to convene another meeting, at which
it is probable a suggestion will be
made that will meet the views of botf
sides. Sir E. H. Holden, who has
been most active in the recent move
ment, may take up the matter when he
goes to New York on his usual bust
ness visit next month.
