Representative Boutell of Illinoi.

beauties of the Payne tariff. Thoee
were beautiful figurea, he say, triura-j

vouchsafed the country by thia great
work of the Rermhlicaa party, tie want;
to aubmit some other tiguree a analy
ia of tbe reduction made by the new
law without conaidering allk and
liquors. He calls the President's atten
tion to the attitude of tbe Chicago aewt
papera. It is all due to their advertis
ers, particularly tbe department store.
These embodiment of iniquity wont al
low tbe t-hlcago papers to purtliah anj
boaeit etatement about the tariff. One!
Chicago earrespondeat prepared and aeeti
ia a true accoant of the effect, of tbe!
Payae-Aidrirb law, showing it ta be thej
Boat aeieatiflc, just and beneficent rev I
aaa act ever pa need, tin dsawt.ii was'
retaraed, and ha waa iaatrarted ta aaad
what hia newspaper wanted aad nothing
else, bo says Mr. uouieii.
The Illinois oongreaaman lmpreaaea it
an tha President that Chicago aeeda a
leeaon from headquartera. in Presi
dent is going out 1 won't he give Chicago
tbe straight goods! Mr. Boutell knowa
what tha straight good iai "We Repub
lican must stand by tbe tariff settle
ment; n would ba traitorous to apolo
gize for it in any particular. It ia oura.
and we mnat be proud of it. It ia the
beat revenue producer aver nut oa the
statute books. Tbe cost of living is ths
result of our aational prosperity. The
tariff baa not caused ft. It ia a world
wide phenomenon. The country never
enjoyed such prosperity, and it ia the
Republican party and the Republican:
Unit that did it.
. Thus are the not-unfamiliar eeboeej
awakened by tha eon of thunder. j
President Taft ia a good listener, even
when he doe not need to he convinced.
Conferring With Congretamea.
President Taft i keenly interested In I
what i going oa at the othur end of!
Pennsylvania avenue. With senators
aad representatives ba freely discuss. 1
tbe me.. ure. under consideration. At
this moment the railroad bill ia tha oea-
ter of legislative interest. Several sen
ators call for enlightenment aa to tba
purposes of tbe bill snd tbe auminn
tration's willingness to accept amend
ments. Mr T.lt muke. it clear tbat be
ia not inmstlrg on the bill in detail. Ht;
listens carefully to rriticiams; ia two'
cases be rflfer senators to the attorney -general
for the drafting of proposed
amendments. Xo, he wouldn't particu
larly oppose a proposition to ludre in I
the hand, of the Preaident, instead ofj
those of the court, tbe power V, order!
publications 01 rates; he doea wiiat that
tbe ciansincatinn feature ba retained.
One senator, snegeating aa amend
ment, remarks: "Ths could do no harm,
and would satisfy a certain public senti
ment. Mr. Taft taken Are. With immense
vehemence be answers:
"I will do nothing to satisfy pnblic
sentiment. The bill may ba altered to
make it more effective, ant I will have
none of any provision worked ia to paci
fy anybody. 1 aa away past that.
Whea I feara Pre atirnd up a axw sort
af criticism or new act of critics, I
feel a aort af fleet ol aatiafartaaal".
Confeaioa af a Preaideat.
Thia i the sa me note which you bear
agaia and again. W have to do with a
Preaident a bo haa but one cenotrn, ona
motive, one thought the good ef the
country, lie reente inatantly aad an
nrilv anv ui?fmatloii that he temnoria
with ntil.lie in,l t'uKlie un,i.l
nient aa it reacbea Waahlngtsn seem a
thing unstable and artificial. In news
paper criticism he take no stock. He
futs bia trust in the good friend around
im and th eonaciaunoea af hut own in
tegrity. He haa com it la no secret
that Preaident Taft has onuie - ta de
spair of popular applause or eva af
popular noderstanding. .
Here la a visitor who irrtea a earn
paign of publicity; he tells the Preaident
that ail the noun try aeeda to bring it I
to hi aide again ia a knowledge of hist
view and purpose- The President
eonld if he would command a far greater
volume of publicity than oaa hie ene '
mica. lie ought to cipum the hypocrisy
of the insurgenta, give tha public the
facta, beat a call to rm in defrnse of
cause which might be lost because of
tbe treason of the very men aha are
shouting loudest for them.
President Taft says in substance:
"What's the use? I have resigned my
self to misunderstsnding. 1 don't say
that I'm indifferent to public opinion,
but I have ceased 10 )iint on it or hope
for it. I must wait for time and tla
result of mv luhors to vindicate me.
Tbey will do so 1 have a profound and
abiding faith in tbe people. Their final
jndgment will U- niibt. But it will not

But I can't undertake to enter into long

Mr. Taft aeeaxed to ra)et tha idea tat.
