LONDON, Oct 1.-THE newspa-
pers continue a chorus of approval
of president Wilson's triumph as
many term the new tariff.
The London Daily News. free
trade organ, says;
Since Sir Robert Peel abolished
the corn laws there has been no
free trade achievement at all com
parable to this event"
THE truth is that the protection
list cause, which seemed invulnerable,
was rotten; it had made the cost of
living so intolerable, it had placed
the consumer so completely at the
mercy of the trusts that directly it
was seriously challenged public opin-
ion crushed it.
Needed Man of Courage.
ut only needed a man of courage
and resolute faith to give the lead
and in President Wilson America has
produced the most courageous as well
as the most constructive statesman in
the world to-day.
Free competition has made British
industry so triumphant that the same
cause will have the same effect in
America, whose development has been
checked by it's self-imposed restraints
It's great shipping industry, for ex-
ample, which was destroyed by pro-
lection, can not fail to revive under
free trade"
Tie Daily Mail says: What the
American Congress has done in
adopting the Underwood bill amounts
in reality to the rescue of the ma
tional fiscal policy from the grip of
privilege"
The Daily Telegraph says: What
the passing Of the new law does is to
prove the emptiness of the argument
that the tariff policy of a country
which sets out to regulate imports in
the public interest is sure to get into
the hands of private interests and
stay there 1t only did so in the
United States owing to peculiarly I'M
healthy political conditions which OBJ
tanned there many years and which
lately have shown a tendency to
mend
1T has ceased to do so now as a
result of a determined national effort
of will. The change will incidentally
be very welcome in many depart
ments of British trading enterprises.
Canada in particular probably will
benefit largely by the change, gain
ing without concession much of what
was offered her by the reciprocity
scheme"
"onIy Beginning of Reform"
The Liverpool Daily Post says:
The passage of the Underwood bill
represents a brilliant triumph for
President Wilson. Free traders
of this country rejoice that it has
been found possible with the full con-
sent of the people to take so decided a
step in the direction of free trade in
the very citadel of protective tariffs.
There can scarcely be any turning
back now. Tariff reform probab bly,
win go along in America by leaps

Boom for French Wooden
Mills Due to New Tariff.
BY CHARLES HENRY MELrZER.

Special Gable to The American.
PARIS, oct. 11.-News of the sign
ing of the tariff bill caused a trade
sensation here. 1t is satisfactory to
France in a general way, but the be-
lief is that this country may benefit
by 1t less than other European ma
lions.
| was assured at the French For
eign office, in the absence of Minister
Pichon, that the new tariff would be
welcomed here rather as an indica-
ton of better things to come than as a
final settlement.
B. j. ShOninger president Of the
Paris American Chamber of Com
merce, said:
THE new tariff does not show any
| material reduction in the schedule
covering articles % luxury. The
greatest reduction is on manufactures
Of wool
Previous to 1900 France exported
dress goods and other textiles made
of wool to the United States. The
Payne Aldrich bill made the rates al
most prohibitive, but with the great
reduction in the new law this indus
try should find great encouragement
and French manufacturers can again
look for their former large American
outlet
1.-THE other textile schedules have
also been modified so that the finer
grades of manufa ctured Iaces, cotton
and silk, for which France is special
ly noted, will be more readily able
to find a market in America"
Altogether the French people look
with much encouragement upon the
opportunities offered in America by
the new tariff.
There is especial jubilation here
among art dealers.

Aiarette Incident Typical.

Typical or the simple nature of the

will tend to prohibit the importation
of aigrettes for the hats of women.
He declares he does not believe
Congress intended that customs in

the hats of women entering this coun-
try He believes the anti -aigrette
provision is intended merely to pre-
vent their importation as merchan-
disc.
Mr. Simmons was much interested
In the reports from New York that
women had been subjected to this trial
at the Custom House.
Il think such a course is beyond all
reason" he said. There is nothing in
the law to justify it, and the trainers
OF the bill never intended that such
action should be taken.

that it does not cover individual cases
