By H. K. C. Bryant. WASHINGTON, April 21.Kepre l tentative Webb took a ahot at flepre f acntatlv KJtchln for hi reciprocity I apeectt. The, worda of Mr. Webb peken In the kindliest way. They i left no atlng. When he had cotirliid i fed many democrat and republicans v wt over and congratulated him. , The) apeech waa In good taste and ; jC'lever. Ha aald: 1 "I ra grateful to my good friend. 1 "i&t. tTodarweed, for yielding me thla J time. No democrat regreta tha ne- ceaalty tot my apeoklng on thla aub Jeot mora than I do. but clrrum 'Utncea and condition have arlaan In v i mat lew oay over wnicn l had no control which impel me to make mv position plain and to answer come of ' in imciurM ana part or the lecture Jof my colleague, Mr. Kltohln. deliv ered to hla North Carolina colleague ,ho are oppoaed to thla reciprocity meaeure. Mr. Chairman, I have nev regarded modern reciprocity aa democratic doctrine. Reciprocal free trade) between Canada and tha United Btatee, aa embodied la the agreement In Hit, may be democratic, but there la a Bore similarity between that treaty and the measure now under i eoneideratton that there la between I day and night For thirty year after 1IJ4 the democrat never mentioned t reciprocity ontH when they did declare tit favor of trade Interchange on the baaia of reciprocal advantage, - bwt ' denotinoed : the ham red- proclty which Juggle with the peo ple' desire (or enlarged foreign mar ket aad freer exehangea by pretend -iar t eetaMleh cloeer trade relation between ft country whoea export are chiefly agricultural product with an other country whoae export are also agricultural while erecting a barrier of prohibitive tart against the rich eat eountrle of the world that aland ready to ttk. our entire surplus pro duction, an to -export their coramod Itie which are necessaries and lui v tirtea of life among our people. That claua In the democratic platform of Hit fit th description of the prea ' nt reciprocity meaaure, for I aay in . all candor that It I a aham and a fraud and aa undemocratic a It can b I ask now, it there la any demo crat tt thla houae who will rlae in hla . . aeat and aay that thla treaty la dem - oeratlc In principle. Modern reciproc ity waa born In New Kagiand. It la a New England' cult, originated by Jane O. Blaros, advocated by Grant, Arthur. Harrlaoit. UcKinley, Hooae velt and now by Mr. Taft Itepubll- can platform In three different elec tion year praised modern reclproc- . lty and pointed to It with pride. The democratic congressional campaign commute of 1101, the year I waa flrtt elected to congreaa, sent out a hand book and Id that hand hook u chapter wa devoted to reciprocity. , and IB that chapter we find such choice expression aa 'Reciprocity la a delusion and a mare. Reciprocity la a aham and a humbug. The farmers are not (ending men to Washington : for the passage of such reciprocity ' treatlea for it cannot help them.' t t think It I a delusion and a aham. J On. thla campaign committee were uch dlstlngulahed democrats as Gov. W. W. Kitchin. of North Car ollna; Judaon Harmon, Clark Howell and other leader in the party. The democrats In 1897 repealed the reci procity treatlea then In existence, and the republican Inserted section 3 of the MeKlnley tariff law of 1890, at the instance of Nelson W. Aldrlch, end under thla section three various -.' treaties were negotiated which were later repealed by the democratic con- , gresa, and for which the republicans Women's Hand Embroidered Underwear in Lingerie and Nainsook We have an exquisite stock of line hand , made Underwear ior women.

In 1187 the republican members of the ways aud means committee signed a report declaring that the repealing bx the democrats of this reciprocity treaty was a public calamity, while the democrats of the ways and means committee declared they could see no good reason for entering Into com mercial alliances restricting the free dom of commercial legislation In this country; that uniform rate applying equally to the products of all nations Is the only safe policy lo pursue, a It can give occasion to no complaint of unfair treatment such as must arise under a scheme of discrimina tory duties. "Mr. Chairman, there are several group of people advocating the pas sage of this treaty. The ttrt group should mention is composed of thusu who favor the unnexatlon of Canada to the United States. I am bitterly against this because our country la big enough now, 1 would like to give awuy some of the territory wt already pusses. Our continental United Htutes Is capable of sustaining one hundred million people, and If our population, was aa dense as Bel gium's every soul In the world could be taken care of within our borders. Then there Is a large element of Latin class In Canada which class has never accepted a republican form of government with any staying fidelity. They are mainly monarchists. The second class I should mention Is that composed of persona who strongly believe In tho doctrine of free raw material and a tariff on manufactured articles. 1 am opposed to thla doc trine. 1 believe In the fundamental principal laid down by that father of democratic tnrlffff, Itobert J. Walker, when he announced that tho tariff should be placed on every Import, making the tariff very smnli In pro portion to the necessity of the article and large In proportion to Us luxury, .giving no advantages to anyone; thou If It is a blessing everybody shares It and If It Is a burden everybody bears it When the democratic party gets away from this great standard and principle we are swamped In a mute of party difficulties. When you put a great many articles on the absolute ly free list there Is no place to stop and the ultimate end of such a policy In ahaoluto free trade, which Is at best but a Kutoplati dream, for under our present constitution arc compelled to raise about $3."i0,00n.(lil by levying taxes on Imports. It Is not light or proper to give the man ufacturers of the country the Hahl to buy nil raw material, im Imlliia farm products on the free list and then compel the producer of the raw materUil to purchase the manufac tured article nt the world price plus the tariff tax The fourth class ad vocating thla troiity la composed of extreme free traders, who are Milling to swallow the big protection hi"k on ! this treaty in order to get the free 1 trade ball. No man lll deny thai at i l.-kce made with 11 PATTO.X AVE. least two-thirds of this treaty I pro ti( live for the big manufacturers and trusts of the country while It strip tho farmer absolutely and puts every thing he produces on the free list. '" Another class la oimpomd by those i huut which we hear no much, do who favor It for k ltlah motives and i not mean llvln; on one food exelu rrom the hope to receive gain. Among , aively. but on fooda that harmonize thla lass I will put some of the great metropolitan newspapers who get I from this treaty free wood pulp and I print paper, making the price of the ' paper no cheaper than It la now, but ! I submit In Rood conscience that the j great dally papers have no m)re right ! to free print paper than have the humble tollers In my district to free w'"'cn clothes and hats and shoes, Another of this class Is the steel trust, and I call upon the I'ennsyl- vanla delegation to tell me if It Is not true that every steel corporation In I'ennsyl li la auppor log this treaty. The reason Is apparent, the treaty reduc es the Canadian tariff on steel trust artic les going Into Canada and retains the Paynu-Aldrlch rate practically on all ateel article com ing Into the I'nlted Btatew The In ternational Harvester compuny. which has robbed the farmer of thousands and thousands of dollars, gcta a lion's share In thla treaty for the treaty re dui es the tariff on practic ally all ag ricultural Implements going Into Can ada but leaves the same high protec tive, tariff on those products coming In. James J. Hill Is supporting the tariff because his railroads ruu buck and forth Into Canada, and he Is anxious that his tonnage should be Increased In order that his dividends be bigger. The beef trust Is In favor of the treaty, because It puts cattle on the free Hat, which will enable l: to buy Its raw material cheaper but lo charge the same old high protec tive price on the finished produat, meat and beef, which will enable the trust to continue to collect Its tribute on every pound of beef the 'laboring man carries home Its i:'s tired hand. There Is still another class who be lieve In the passage of this treaty, and that Is the city dweller who, somehow or other, has gotten the Idea that It will reduce the cost of living. Such persons are deceived and buncoed If they seriously believe this. They cannot eat cattle, nor can they eat wheat, both of which are put on the free list between the United States and Canada, but they do eat bread made of flour, and meat from cattle; on beead and meat and Hour the high protected tariff la retained, which will make It Impossible for them to get this food product any cheaper. "Mr. Chairman. last Saturday my friend and colleague- from North Car olina, Mr. Kitchin, suggested that wo democrata from North Carolina were being Influenced by Mr. John Datzelt. of Pennsylvania. Now, I do not think Mr. Kitchin meant that, for he knows that Mr. Gudger, Mr. Ooughton, Mr. l'nge, Mr, Pon and mysolf would not be Influenced improperly by. Mr. Dal zell or anybody else, and yet that statement ha gone out over the state. Now that Is not argument, but a spe cies of an attempt to prejudice peo ple. If I were to answer him In kind. 1 would suggest that he has been placed with a republican president, a republican secretary of state, Mr. Knox, who was once an employe of tli ii steel trust, who drew this treuty, and J. P. Morgan, who organized the Meel trust; Wcyeno Payne, the progen itor of the Puyne-Aldrlch tariff bill, and Nelson V. Aldrlch. and many other leading republicans, not to mention tho various trusts that are advocating the passage of this meas ure. Now. that would be bad com pany for Mr. Kitchin to associate with, and yet answering his argil- j nient. I have the right to suggest that i that Is the company he finds himself In now advocating this trenty. Yet. .Mr. Chairman, after all In recent days It Is not so had to be caught In company with Mr. Ualsell. for It hasn't been two months ago when on a vote to create a tariff commission hoard the Hon. Champ Clark, the present speaker of the house, and the Hon. Oscar I'nderwood. the present j door leade r of the house, broke away from my friend and colleague anil Voted with Mr. Outsell for such a commission, while Mr. Kitchin voted with It. My colleague siiKRests nlso that If you would scratch a little4 under the opposition to this treaty you would find In one district of North Carolina mien. Ves, Mr. Chairman, that Is exactly what you will find In the Ainm congressional district, repre- ri-nlod by in.iaelf. l.aat full durlna 1 tho cmhiiuiIkii I ws sskfd hv people 1 ! intiTcati-il In mlc ic how I stood upon ! the turiff with reference- to It unci I I j told them that while 1 would not! promise, to vote for a reduction ,.r ! : the duty cm mica that I wh a demo- ! crat who bllovd In a irlff for rev enue nnd that I would iclmlly promise ,.them not to vote to put mliu on the ! free list: that Vin,e had voted for n ; duty on mtca; that Rmisom and Jar I vIh and Vilas had voted for a duty on mli a: (hut the democratic conureaa In ' ISfM put the duty on mica and that I I wne perfectly ssfe In telllnR them : Hint 1 shouM not v'i to put It on the free Hut, and now.

Zeb Vance, that areut commoner, when once twtlted because he waa ilefend liiK the interests of his people said that If he did not represent the In terests pf his people ami do the beat he could for them he would not be fit to occupy 'Ilia seat on the floor of the aenate. and that every man must ImlKe for himself what la the best Interests of his constituents. "Mf. Chairman, If I was as ex perienced In hn lii 1 11 n K Innuendo and as ready to use It asuinst politic nl friend and foe as my cnllenifiie Is. I mlKht reply that If you would scratch under the llon-Hke effort of my irlend to pass thla treaty you miRht title! pesnuts, for pennuts grow In the ground and you have (o S-ratch for them, but 1 do not Intend that a lit tle thins: like a peanut would In-, rluence a big mun like my colleanue and yet you will find that his district produces n lare quantity of peanuts and that Canada Is our larttest pur chaser of this product, and the pro posed treaty reduces the duty on pea nut Koinir Into Canada "5 per cent but retulns, mar you, the tariff tax of IS 1-2 per cent on all peanuts com ing into the United Slates.

C. do not object to the tariff on peanuts for Mr. Kitchin' distric t, but I think It would be fair In him not to try to deprive the mica producers of my district of a tariff tax for which democrats have always stood. "Mr. Chairman, I said a few mo ments ago that this was not u demo cratic measure', and I believe I can prove. It by the worda of my colleague from North Carolina, Mr. Kitchin. He wrote a letter to a friend of his In North Carolina sometime ago, which letter was published, and In that letter Mr. Kitchin said the pro posed agreement was a short, hobble skirted atop, but still a stop. Now, mark you, the hobble-skirted saep Is short, hut a skirted step Is still short er. I have never liked skirts and I do not like the hobble-skirt treaty." FAMILY TROUBLES GO UP TO POLICE COURT Colored "In-Lawa" I'nabln to Live Together In Peace anil Harmony and Grncral Scrap Ensues. Frank Rcnnlman, a young colored man of the -city, was arrested yeater duy afternoon charged with disorder ly conduct and drawing a knife on Bud Payne, who Is his father-in-law. The Payne household was a scene of general . disorder shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday and the "In-law" seemed to unable to dwell together in unity. Aa a result of the row no one 1 hurt, although liennlman has been locked up, and Payne says that he has suffered "crimination." He did not make clear Just what that term Implies, however. Payne appeared t police headquar ters and asked that a warrant be Is sued for Rennlman on account of the fact that the latter- had used some very Insulting Language to him and had been the means of giving him trouble. The warrant was drawn and was ready for the proper signature, and Payne had left the city hall to have it signed by the Judge, who waa out at that time. As he stepped out of the front door of tho building he saw the man for whom he was look ing and he declared that slmultane- i oualy upon looking upon the cnunte- nance of Rennlmun he spied a large l3Se In the hand of the latter which wis heldMn such a position that he had no thoughts of Kentilmnn's using It for manicuring purposes. Payne Immediately retreated to po lice headquarters and asked that a policeman ko to the square and nab the man. His request was granted anil Rennlmun wn placed In .lull. P.ennlman drciures that he Is ab solutely Innocent of any wrongdoing, and that ho hus linen placed In the trouble on account of the fact that after prnmtslni: to love and cherish bis better half he has been unable to do so on account of the Interfer ence of her father.
