TAFT'S TARIFF PLAN PRAISED.

Referring to President Taft's recent
tariff letter urging downward revision
through schedules considered separately.
Henry Clews said yesterday:
The idea is not a new one, although
very good one. It was advocated by me
III A speech I made before the annual con-
vention of the American Bankers, at Provi-
dence on July u, 1903. in which l said I
am one of those who believe that the best
interests of this country demand that the
tariff silozld be simplifed and gradually
lowered, say one schedule at a time with
six months notice of any important change
in it. This would enable importers to pro-
teCt themselves sufficiently to avoid loss
on their previous importations. The reduc-
ton Of customs duties on commodities and
articles OF general consumption would OBJ
vic usly reduce the living expenses of the
people, which are now great as TO be the
chief source Of the discomfort of labor"
