tuNITrD PRESS LEASED wlnH.l

New York. Sept. 25.-Unequivocally
promising immediate revision of the
tariff downward If he is reelected; ;
intimating that a special session OF
congress for such revision is his plan,
and flatly denying statements made by
Governor Woodrow Wilson, that he
has been badly advised, President
Taft here today issued statement OF
his position, which is regarded as his
most important plea for support at the
polls in November.
"I and l alone am responsible for
the acts Of my administration is the
way the president answers allegations
that he has been handled" by any
one. He stamped as entirely without
foundation the view Of his activities
which was based on the late Senator
Delivers epigram that "the president
Is an amiable gentleman entirely sur
rounded by people who know exactly
what they want.
In outlining his position, and that of
the party he represents on the tariff
question, President Taft said;
Tariff Should Be Revised.
1.-THE policy of the Republican par
ty on the tariff question is not to shut
out foreign manufacturers, but to pro,
tect democratic manufacturers and
keep American worklngmen em-
ployed. The tariff should be revised,
so far as is necessary, to keep prices
from being exorbitant, and so that
the manufacturer shall secure only
enough protection to pay the scale Of
high wages, which ought OF obtain in
this country and at the same time Sc
cure reasonable profit from business
"The public may rest assured that
should the Republican party be re-
stored to power all legislative branch
es will be sure that all schedules In
the tariff of which complaint has been
made, will be subjected to inyestiga-
tion.
