0 ate> M0m mam MS i VIEWS OF TUFT OF THE TARIF - -4 Frank Statement of President Is Given to People. PERFECTBILWHSIMPOSIBLE Ceqtscnaf Interests Carabine In Con* gres*— a Scientific Tariff Should Havt Been Enacted Quarter Cen­ tury Ago—-Public Benefit Preferred to Temporary Popularity. The purposes and achievements of the present admlnictratian are plain­ ly stated in tho Juno number of McClure’s Magazine. Tho interview was given to Georgo Kibbe Timor, and doen not assume to quote tho president verbatim, though it .acoume3—and does—give substanti.i’ly in hie own words his views on all subjects of abs> ’‘bins public interest. That tho j.-.aoted tariff question calls for "more reason and less passion" will bo manifest to overy intelligent reader of the presi­ dent’s logic. It' is something of a departure for a president to submit to on interview while in office, ana it is probable that those who are attacking the ad­ ministration will bitterly resent this fracture of "precedent.” But the statements have all the dignity of a formal public address, with the added intimate touch which attends per­ sonal conversation, and the publica­ tion can,not other than give to the people of tho nation generally a closer conception of the ideas, plans had purposes of the man whom they have chorea as their chief magis­ trate, „ The Tariff and Its Making. The president discusses not only tho more Important schedules of the tariff bill, but sketches some phases of tariff making. On this subject he Is quoted as follows: “What 1 Wanted in a tariff bill is clearly expressed In the language of the Republican platform of 1908 (which, as a matter of fact, followed quite closely the language inserted at my instance in the Ohio platform): “ ’The true principle of protection is best maintained by the imposition of such duties as will equal the dif­ ferences between the cost of produc­ tion at home or abroad,, together with a reasonable profit tb American industries.’ “This, T believe, is a fair state meat of the •policy of protection, which protectionists will generally subscribe to. To carry it into "effect just one thing is necessary; that is, evidence—an accurate knowledge of -the cost o f ,production of protected articles here and abroad, Our Method 1* Outworn, “Germany, Prance and virtually every great tariff-making country in the •world except tho United States, secure tills evidence through their own experts. In thin country the only information for, making tariffs in obtained from the warped and biased testimony of the men to be affected ‘ by their schedules. The whole method is notoriously unscientific end. wrong, an outworn oyatem, which I believe should bo changed. “The ways and means committee of tho house had been at work for a year gathering Information upon which to base a now tariff. Tho ■usual confusing testimony wan pro­ duced by them; and the usual com­ mitments of tho representatives ot different sections, to the views and testimony of the particular business Interests of their localities, occurred after tho hill was introduced into congrcss-as it always muGt, under the old method of tariff-making; As matters formulated themselves, I made known my views in various conferences with tho leading mem­ bers. of the house and senate. “I felt that at least there should bo free hides, free Iron ore, freo coal, free lumber and freo petroleum. I placed myself against a raising of tho rate cn tho cheaper cotton goods sug­ gested; I insisted on cutting out high duties pror-osed on gloves, and urged reductions in o*kcr duties, including shoes and other manufactures of leather. Geifish Interests Nonpartisan. “I did not Secure all the reduc­ tions that I believed should bo made. Tho woolen schedule should have bcoit lowered; it was’ not, because a combination of representatives from tho manufacturing and wool-growing sections ot tho cast and went bad a majority tu congress which was over­ whelming, Not only would it have been useless to try to beat it, but a reopening of tho old fight between the growt-ls and the manufacturer;-- settled by tho present schedule would have unfastened a Pandora’* box that might have defeated the whole bill. “The Democratic south, with tho flOffbero lumbering states, prevented freo lumber; uaetlior combination of tho saroo portions made impossible the lowering of tho much criticised cotton schedules. Ar. has always been, tto case to making tariffs in this eotmtity, certain combinations of sec­ tional interests int congress—formed f fKSpefitivo of parties, upon purely industrial fines---had majorities which were a matter of fact and must bo weegnteed « » Btteli, •' finally signed tho bill, Not be- r”ran Jt was a 'r tariff; fdeel tariffs rro na ilvl’fy ruder t!:a ccfbel cf tariff k-friricrion wt- bovo enrksyc'l, 1 tj’iT.cd i$ bi-race’ it way tty- best l rT.ld fd'oro und ? tbo circunctap-'ca; berauro It represent­ ed a cenrttvia'io downward r, virion fbo rdr'I'y tariff, end because, oH ttifc;~3 ernrif'/svd, I Old cot be- Jfevo eweeiff justified in hriding up tho baoineca of tho country for ntontbo longer by vetoing thin bill, on tho chorro of getting a better one.

Veto r.tennt Temporary Popularity. "It wu-j perfectly clear to mo at tho timo that I could achieve a tem­ porary personal popularity by vetoing this tariff bill. It was just as clear that if I illd so I would caueo such a split with my party in congress that tho entire program of progressive legislation to which I had dedicated the whole 'strength of my administra­ tion, would bo put in jeopardy. "When I signed tho tariff bill, I an­ nounced that I hold this paragraph fcreating a tariff board) to give the president the right to secure the sta­ tistics covering the prices and costs of production of goods at homo apd abroad, upon which scientific tariffs must be built. In September I ap­ pointed a tariff board, headed by Pro­ fessor H. 0. Emery, the Yale econo­ mist, to take up this work. At my Instruction, they piepared an esti­ mate of the kind I wanted. I have now aeke.l congress for an appropri­ ation of §230,000 for this investiga­ tion. I certainy hope it will grant It. “A thorough investigation of this- kind will take between two and three years, It is not unlikely that, in the light of accurate statistics, we may find that certain schedules in our tar­ iff are too high. If we do, I shall at. that time not hesitate Immediately to recommend their revision. “I beilieve that the work of a tariff hoard should he to secure and to pre­ sent evidence, not to frame a tariff. AVith this evidence befoi-e it, con­ gress will act fairly-and wisely; and the United States will have, under this method, a tariff established on a thoroughly scientific basis—as it should have had a quarter Of a cen­ tury ago.” , The entirestockof The Tien t'JothwT, 77 West MainStreet, Springfield, opposite theSpringfield< 3 as Co.?

FORGETTHE“TINPEDDLERS” Proposition to Have Housewives Sup plant Experts In Preparing Tariff Data. Very many ,of the Democratic jour­ nals of Ohio have forgotten the “tidal wave” of 1902 that ‘ fflowed the pass­ age of the McKinley bill, and was largely brought about by the brigade of “tin peddlers” who Infested the rural ‘ sections of the state quoting preposterous prices for their stock— on account of tho tariff. Ohio went Democratic and sent * Democratic delegation to congress. But when the true situation became known, the pendulum swung the other way. McKinley was elected governor by an unprecedented ma­ jority, ’ and Ohio’s support of the “man who wrote the tariff bill” put him in the Wliite House in 1890. Now comes the Democratic jibe at President Taft’s program for a scien­ tific tariff, and for exact data on the cost of production at homo and abroad: “President Taft wants a quarter of a-million dollars appropriated to en­ able a tariff commission to find by scientific analysis whether the tariff was revised up.or down. "Any housewife can tell you from’ practical experience, and that beats scientific analysis a block. “But the scientific analysis is, want­ ed for campaign material next fall. The statisticians are already at work compiling figures, and we may ex­ pect some wonderful political mathe­ matics, “Seeing how easily the people are buncoed by g. o. p. promises in 1903, Mr. Taft lias a right to believe that any kind of jugglery with the tariff statistics will do for "the congres­ sional campaign in 1910 and the na­ tional campaign to follow in 1912.” Tho American housewife is the peer of her sisters in other lands and her views, have value on most eco­ nomic subjects. But the American housewife herself would not claim to bo a tariff expert, though she would probably admit knowledge that the Payne lav/ has not increased duties on a single article of food or clothing for tho poor man; nor—thanks to the vigoroas opposition of womenfolk and President Taft--wore duties in­ creased on women’s hosiery and gloves. “More reason and less passion” in discussing the tariff will help some. The Cambridge Jeffersonian is bringing upon Itself the wrath and denunciation o* its Democratic breth­ ren because It Bad the frankness to praise the recent cession of the gen­ eral assembly. The Jeffersonian says: "It Is tho custom to make light « f the wort: of a legislature, and ssEX-tisaos it is deserved, but the present session is marked more by goad work than otherwise.” Tho Democratic party So a good deal like Halley’s cosnot. It goes a long timo between feasts. It is small in bead and limitless in tall. It lias gas, flash and bluster. It threatens destruction and is as harm­ less, out of power,, as a feather. It stagger;! and swerves. It keeps is-- regular hours. It Is never on time. It is a fako of fakes. - Piqua fall.
