There will be no tariff revision
while Judge Taft is In the White

though they impose an al valorem
duty OF 20 per cent on raw wool and
40 per cent on cloths The present
rates run MP TO 100 per cent. II was

Mr.. Perkins Is the bead and front

He Is J. Pierpont Morgans handy

bridge that has connected congress

His recent activity in politics is
surprising. for heretofore he has kept
his political light under a bushel and
only came forward when big business
needed an expert diplomat. He has
been known 20 open his pocket book

Jay Gould he has been a republican

a democratic district but a Wall
