His declaration, however, did not allay the clamor among Republi cans. In 190i they were forced to promise tariff revision in their plat form. Aeair the promise was equlvo- ol as it did not state whether the revision was to be up or down. But . , . ,t fo.lff rp v i u Ion il n tt- n ward was so strong and so insistent that a majority ui ncyuui.au isiamis ana eunwie, -j . - -- - , was to be downward. On that promise tnev won. ""b iif i,,c.' ceeded to revise it upward. So that in the impending campaign, the overshad owing issue is whether men in conduct ing a campaign are under obligation to tell the truth or whether they are licensed to palter in a double sense to keep the word of promise to the ear and break it to the hope. Clark Agrees With Taft. "President Taft himself admitted In his Winona speech that the wdolen goods schedule is too high and ought to be reduced. I agree with him on that; so do you all. Why then have they not reduced it? , It is 11 months lacking one day since he signed the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot. tariff bill. He is a Republican. Both Houses of Congress are Republicans by overwhelming ma jonties. A s the Democratic floor lead er in the House, I guaranteed that if tne fresldent would send in a message urging that the woolen goods schedule be cut to a reasonable basis, so that the people could have cheaper clothing and cheaper blankets,, and Chairman Payne would reprt such a bill and put It upon Its passage, every Democrat would vote for It, and every Demo crat in the House applauded my offer. thereby proving that I spoke their sentiments. That was on May 21, but the President has never sent in any such message and Mr. Chairman Payne has never reported any such bill. Clark Would Revise Tariff..'' "If we have the next House, as I be lieve we will have, we will honestly and courageously report a bill to re vise the tariff down to a revenue basis. pass it through the House and send it over to the Senate. Perhaps by that time the Senate, yielding, to the public demand, will also pass it. I it does not, we will go to the people on that issue in 1912."
