New York, Feb. 12.-"If the enforce.
ment of the law is not compatible
with the present method of carrying
on business, then it does not spea k
wen for the present method of con-
ducting business, and they must be
changed to conform with law"
This was President Tatt's answer
to Wall street and the cry of panic"
1t made to the cheering audience of
hundreds of Republicans tonight at
the annual Lincoln day dinner of the
Republican club in this city.
Governor Hughes shared the honors
of the evening with the president.
Taft adhered to his purpose of dis
cussing the platform pledges and how
they have been kept. 1t was the end
of his detailed argument regarding
how Republicans are redeeming their
pledges that he came to discussion
of the antitrust law and Wall
street.
The president declared that. the
administration would not foolishly run
amuck in business and destroy values
and confidence just for the pleasure
of doing SO.
mo one" he continued. ''has a mo-
tive as strong as the administration
to cultivate and strengthen busi-
ness confidence and prosperity.
But there is no promise on the
part of the Republicans to change
the antitrust law except to
strengthen it." He said ''the govern
ment can be counted on to enforce
the law in any way best calculated
to prevent the destruction of public
confidence in business, but that it
must enforce the law goes without
saying"
Taft did not hesitate to discuss the
attacks that had been made upon the
administration and party or the dam
ger of the future success of the In
surgents and other dissentions. Re-
publicans who feared defeat at the
polls in November, he declared, should
take courage from the demoralized
condition of the Democrats.
DEFENDS TARIFF BILL.
He defended the tariff bill, saying
1t substantially complied with the
party pledges and through it the party
set itself in the right direction to-
ward lower tariffs. The president
showed statistics to demonstrate that
during the first six months of the
new tariff there had been shown
twelve per cent reduction in the per-
centage on ad valorem duties on i'm
ports and twelve per cent increase in
imports admitted free. Time and
wider knowledge, he said, would serve
to Justify the bill.
