lower than those charged on lower
grades. s
A. to whether the rates on cotton goods
are higher than they ought to be" said
the president. It was a question of evi-
dence. "I will not defend the evidence.
" but we hope- soon to know more about
the tariff than we did at the beginning of
this fight."
" STOP TARIFF DISCUSSION.
President Taft declared it would be use-
Ins and distressing to business to bring
about further discussion of the tariff dur-
ing the present or the next session of con-
gresV and that it would require the next
three years of his term to collect facts
tbat would justify the taking up of the
tariff on a more scientific basis than ever.
President Tsft answered with much
warmth the assertion that the tariff is
responsible for the high cost of living.
He declared the tariff remained un-
changed for ten years while the cost of
living not in America alone but In free
trad and protection coamries kept climb-
Ins:. 5
The greatest enthusiasm of the presi-
. dent's address was aroused when he do-
ctored that if the people wanted free
trade if they wanted a tariff for revenue
- only. If they wanted to close down manu-
factories and have cheaper prices at the
sacrifice of many business interests they
i ought to put the democratic party in
.power.
. The president said he doubted even If
that would succeed for the democrats tu
the senate voted for protection of articles
manufactured or grown In their States
and districts.
The difference between the house bill
and the senate bill was very much less
than the newspaper reported. Mr. Taft
declared.
"It turns out upon reading the bill that
v the senate differences were not great.
There is nothing quite as difficult as
a division of a tariff bill for the reason
that it may cover so many different
items. The meaning of terms and the
percentages are most difficult to under-
' stand. The passage of a new bin. espe-
cially where a change In the method of
assessing the duties has been followed
presents an opportunity for various modes
of deductions from and calculations of
tbs percentages of increases and de-
creases that is really most misleading or
really throws no light at all upon the
changes made.
"The promise of the republican plat-
form was not to revise everything and
In the speeches which have been taken
as interpreting that platform which 1
made In the campaign I did not promise
that everything should go downward.
What I promised was that there should
be many decreases and tbat In some few
. things Increases would be found to bs
necessary but thst on the whole I con-
ceived that the changed conditions would
make the revision downward and that
I contend under the showing which I
hava made has been the result of the
Payne bill."
HIDE TARIFF TAKEN OFF.
As to hides be said:
- "Tbe tariff on hides was taken off be-
cause it -was thought not necessary to
the man who raised cattle and that the
profits of th cattle business were sufn-
rient without Imposing a duty on it aad
that tbe doty Imposed was likely to throw
- tbe control of the sale of hides Into the
hands of the meat packers In Chicago.
About the redaction on hides there was
a reduction on shoes from S to 19 per
:-at. on sole leather from 20 to S per
rent and on harness from 40 to IS per

ule la that there were two contending
faction early In the history of republi-
can tariff. towlt:
"Wo.il (rovrn and the woolen- manu

fafturea. The perventase of duty Wrt.
very hearv quite beyond the defense In
the coat of production which was not
l hen regarded as a necessary or proper
limitation on protective uuties.
"When it came to the question of reducing-
the duty at this hearing on the tariff
bill on wool Mr. Payne in the house and
Mr. Aldrlch in the senate found that In
the republican party the Interests of tiie
wool growers of the far West and the In-
terests of the wool manufacturers In the
Kant and other States reflected through
representatives in congress wss suP-
rientlv strong to defeat any attempt to
chance the woolen schedule and if It had
been tried the bill would have been
beaten If reported from either commit-
tee. 1 wish this could have been other-
wise. It was the one important defect in
the promise to reduce rates to a reason-
able profit to--the manufacturers. That
it will increase the price of woolen cloth
or clothes I vary much doubt."

Postal Savings Banks Indorsed.
: (Astociotti Prsss Refer .)
MILWAUKEE. Wis.. September 17
FrefcWent Taft. in his address here at the
State fair today strongly Indorsed postal
savings banks before a large ar.d en-
thusiastic gitthering which overflowed the
grand stand lie said he did not mean
tu say that the postal savings bank plank
in the republican platform binds ever-
tody who calls himself a republican be-
cause the Arericans are not that kind
"ftSnY doii't like a plank in a plat-
form." said Mr. Taft "or it they don't
dke the platform itself they ce.se to be
republicans or tney are republicans witn
an exception. But I sm here to uphold
the rioctrine of the postal savings bank
(applause) because I believe thst they
will fill in this country a long felt want
"In the first place it is said the postal
savings bank is a very paternal Institu-
tion: thst it has a leaning (award social-
ism. Stat socialism and that It pro-
poses to take tbe banking business out
of the hsnds of private persons and put
it into the hands of the government. No
I sm not a paternalist and I am not a
socialist and I am not In favor of having
the government do anytntng that private
citiaens can do aa well or better (great
applause) but there are conditions. e
have passed beyond the tide of what they
call the 'laisses falre srhool." which be-
lieved that the government ought to do
nothing but run the police force; and we
do recognise the necessity for the inter-
ference of the government because it
has great capital and great resources be-
hind it and because sometimes It can
stand the lack of an immediate return
on capital to help it out. We did it in
our Pacific roads. .We have done It In
a great many different ways and In this
particular postal savings bank business
the government is especially fitted to do
what no system of private bankers can
do." lApplause.)

of Munaon In the shoulder and his asso-
ciate Charles Delaney In the .leg the
chjocts of th tour days' man hunt In
Brazoria county have t last been
brought to bay and are lying In a thicket
four miles south of Sandy Point ' sur-
lounded by a noses of eighty men. who
are waiting for daylight to begin the ad-
vance. The choke baa been at its hottest
during the last twenty-four hours re-tultina-
In the death of two nea-mes and
one of the bloodhours. The lattor was
shot hy either Ieianey or Hayaa when
pre;
lisdl
seed too closely Into the heart of tueir
kilns Discs.
harlv Yesterday a nearo reported seelna
Hayes closa to his bonis piece and tha
dogs were taken there -for th usual
morning fctart but the '(mgs lustead of
taking the trail led the posse to a point
about fifty yards from tiie Hayes home.
wnere tne oony ot jaae jveya a negro
about SO years of age was discovered.
He was heavily armed with both a rii'ls
and a six-shooter and had been shot In
the body. By whom he was shot is not
known but it Is thought that he might
nave been the man that the posse took
flying shots at yesterday. Or It is also
thought that he was killed by Hayes to
keep him from telling. Keys was not a
had m-cro and bore a pretty good reputa-
tion about Sandy Point Another negro
was found dead having been fchot near
the I.undv farm three miles southwest of
the Point and to this death there seems
to be no explanation. Mono tl the posse
has engaged in -tny shooting close to this
point.
HATES TALKED TO NEGRO.
Testerday afternoon about 3 o'clock
Hayes came from the thicket about five
mllea from the Point and went to the
home of a negro. B. Bragg Cooper and
aaked thst he (Cooper) cook some supper
and fix it so. thai he and Uelunev could
get it that night when they came by en
route to the river. Cooper agreed and
wont to work eookln. but as soon as
Haves was out of sleht he want to the
officers with his story. He said that
Hayea showed him where he was shot in
the shoulder when he ran from the house '
after killing Muneon. and he also stated
that Delaney was shot in the leg. -It was
their intention to lav In the ihhket until
dark and then come past the Cooper
cabin and get the food that was prepared
and strike for the Brasos river and leave
the country.
Hayes also said that Delaney was un
der his house when the posse came there
and wnen ne (Hayes) shot Munson. This
statement evidently accounts for the ra-
pidity with whick Hayes faded from the
scene as he certainly did not have time
to cut the big hole in the floor and
make his escape that way. It mlaht also
account for the killing of the horse of
C. Willis one of the Dossemen. The
house sets up on four stones eacii
about two feet high but a rough board
nss Deen nailed around most the war.
The back side is open however and ..
enough for a man to crawl under.
A HOUND WAS KILLED.
Acting upon this Information Sheriff
Gibson at once put the dogs on the trail
and in a short time they had succeeui.
In picking up the trail and the blacks
broke ground and after leading the trail
for half a mile turned and shot one of
the dogs that was too close. Immedi
ately upon the death pf one of their num-
ber the decs turned back as the hava
been) twined to 4o when under fire and
thechasa. was ..-discontinued as it was
known that the men could not get out jI
the small thicket without passing the of
ficers. '
Tbe thicket in which they are hiding
consists of about thirty acres of i.orn
almost impregnable. The posse is guard-
ing ever- possible avenue of escape and
Sheriff Gibson claims that today will
end the chase.
The negro to whom Hayes want for
food said that Hayes made no statement
as to whether they were going to fight
when at last run down. The prevailing
sentiment is that they will fight and
ample preparations are being made for
aneeoy enu to tne cnase wnen tney
once get within striking distance of the
men. some ot tr.e possemen tavored
starving the men out. but the process
did not appeal to the men In general on
account of the tedium of the undertak-
ing. The men are nearly all armed with
rifles of heavy caliber and it is the In
tention ui comb the thicket begin
ning at an early hour and keep it up un-
til results are produced.
The guard maintained last night was
the most strict of the chase and aa al-
most military organisation has been per-
fected since vigilance has been so much
in demand. There were stationary guards
posted and other guards moved in squads
with Individual guards patrolling tha
lins at all times. The sentries were
posted deep In the thicket in many in-
stances and any attempt to escape to-
night would be bound to prove futile.
NEGRO SUSPECTS RELEASED.
The many negroes that have been cor-
raled at Sandy Point have been re-
leased In most Instances and allowed to
go to their homes upon promising that
they would report anything that the
heard. In a couple of Instances negroes
who were pronouncedly friendly to the
Hayea faction were held until the trouble
blew over. Men hare returned to the
fields and all was quiet save for the
occasional bellowing of the hounds when
they struck a fresh trail and the seren-
ity of the farm life was disturbed only
by the occasional dash of a poss across
the fields.
As a result of the escape of three pris-
oners from the Angleton jail five men are
dead three white men and two negroes.
The white men are:
Tut Harden killed at Chenango while
going with a posse to assist In the cap-
ture of the escaping negroes; H. Armour
Munson. a stork raiser of Angleton. who
was killed at Sandy Point while endeav-
oring to assist in tha capture of the slay-
er of Tut Harden and Charles Frank
Knobel a Navasota lad. who was acci-
dentally killed by a posse near Duke.
Two negroes have been shot one Jake
Keys a farmer living near Sandy Point
and an unknown man who was found
lying In tbe woods south ot Sandy Point.
APPEAL TO THE NEGROES.
To the Negroes of Brasoria and Adjoin-
ing Counties.
Tots now bars It In your hands and it
is up to you to prove to the world what
Too stand for. In the last few days three
good men's lives hava been taken on ac-
count of the deeds of heartless brutes
not worthy of the least consideration or
any man.
I call upon you In the name of those l
represent to lay aside your daily labor
and let all be forgotten until these crim-
inals are safely placed behind the bars.
Let no negro say I am not concerned for
I say to you ws are all deeply concerned.
Tou say you are opposed to mob law
prove It ere It Is too late.
Get out and seek information learn
whst you can and report it to the oi fl-
eers. It Is your duty. These men must
eat. Where do they get their food? I
charge no man' with biding them.
I ask In the name of your race. In tne
name of your State and In the name of
justice to get together and do not eat
sleep nor rest until you hare done your
whole duty. John M. Adkins
