USER NOTIOPPRESSED "Isolated Cases of Increases of Rates Are Taken and th'3 Entire Bill Con demned," Is Statesman's Declara tion, He Insisting That, on an Av erage, All Are Made Beneficiaries. Washington, July 11.--Senator Al drich reiterates his stutement that the tariff senate bill does not impose ad ditlonal burdens upon the consumer. "Isolated cases of increases of rates are taken and the entire bill con demned because of these," said Mr. Aldrich. "it is usually, the case that if the section of the country which has found fault with one schedule would consider the transfers of ar ticles to the free list, and compare the increases with reductions that have been made, that section would see that it had been made a benefic laiy by the general revision." Expert Talks. General T. S. Sharretts, the veteran tariff expert, who has been a mem ber of the board of general appraisers in New York for many years, de clares the senate bill will show a 2 per cent reduction from the Dingley law and a material reduction from the house rates.

Mr. Payne pointed out that hides, tallow, iron ore, licorice extracts and other ar ticles, of great importance to the con suming public, were transferred to the dutiable list by the senate; while al ligator skins, radium, certain spices, cocoa, oleo stearin and miners' safety appliances were the most important articles placed on the free list by the senate, "It is unfair to compare the two bills by figuring the ad valorem rates on each," said Mr. Payne. Members of the house tonight point ed out that coat, wire nails, scrap iron, shoes and leather, cotton and wool manufactures, petroleum, pota toes, rough lumber, lead paint, struc tural iron, cutlery, zinc bullion, pig lead and other articles of general con sumption were increased over the house rates, while dressed lumber, gloves, hosiery and certain iron and steel products were the principal sen ate reductions of interest to the pub lic. The conferees hope to conclude their work by the end of next week. In the meantime both houses will hold sessions every three days.

Wbshington, July 11.-Indications multiply that Prescient Taft's an nounced itinerary jar nis western and southern trip this fall may' be extended.

Strong ef forts will be made by congressmen and state officials to have the president 'stop for a' few minutes at least at nearly all the towns of appreciable size through which his train will pass in the daylight hours. Thur far the pres ident has adhered to the policy of journeying in a single private car at tached to regular trains.

The railroads much prefer to carry the president by special train and often do so nowadays in preference to hauling his car at the end of a regular train.
