Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 98, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 April 1910 — Let Us Be Fair With the Tariff and the President. [ARTICLE]

Let Us Be Fair With the Tariff and the President.

Writing under the heading, “At Least let us be Fair,” the Lake County Times says: “In these days of determination to speak of and write mean things about the Payne-Aldrich bill, it is extremely gratifying to know that the government’s revenues are increasing at a surprisingly delightful rate, which fact the more pronounced republican advocates of free trade should notice.” , No less an authority than Congressman Crumpacker says that wheu a campaign of education is put under way to show the people that the Payne tariff bill, so abominably misrepresented by some of the so-called leading papers, is not at all an lnqultous measure, people will look at It In a different light. There are over six hundred reductions In it from the Dingley tariff and President Taft may be rightfully excused in declaring that he has endeavored as far as he was able to carry out the promises that he made to the people before he was elected president.
