The purposes of these changes were freely admit- ted by Aldrich to be the stiffening of the tariff rates. Higher prices will be the consequence. Operating in a similar way will be the maximum and minimum fea- tures of the tariff law What Taft Said. And now that it is all over, it |may be proper again to consider whether or not there has been a conscientious and full performance of what was promised when Presi- dent Taft, then candidate for the presidency, said, in speaking to an jaudience at Des Moines, Sept. 26, | 1908 | “The party is pledged to A GEN- UINE revision, and as the tempo- | rary head of that party, and as pres ident of the United States, if it be successful in November, | expect to use ALL THE INFLUENCE THAT | HAVE to secure a GENUINE and | HONEST revision of the tariff." | And when at Milwaukee he eaid: “On the whole, the TARIFF |}OUGHT TO BE LOWERED; it is | my judgment that a revision of the | tariff in accordance with the ple jof the republican party will be THE WHOLE A SUBSTANTIAL REVISION DOWNWARD.” ARE PREPARING FOR NEW JERSEY DAY Much- the Ww commissioners Hall and George from Tsaac more *®) and Christmas cannot posaibly re: | governor of New Jersey to the A- |Y.P, exposition, arrived in Seattle }last evening from Paterson, N, J., and are staying at the New Wash- ington hotel, They are interested in planning for New Jersey day at the fair, July 29, and are anxious to |hear from former residents of thag | state WILL MAKE JUNKET, The United States senate com. mittee on frrigation and reclama- tion of arld lands will leave Chicago August 81 to make a tour of Inspec.
