Taft has Washington. President given out a statement, embodying his views of the new tariff act, in which he supports the new measure as a sin cere effort for downward revision.

"This is not a perfect tariff bill, or a complete compliance with the prom- strictly interpreted, but a fulfillment free from criticism In respect, to a subject matter involving many schedules and thousands of articles could not be expected. It suffices to say that except with regard to wh'sky. liquors and wife, and In regard to silks and some high classes o1 cottons, all of which may be treated as luxuries, and proper subjects of a revenue 'irifT. there have been very few increases In rates.
