OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. l-roni our Special Correspondent Clyde H. T.ivenner. Washington, May 29, -Although standpat Republicans proclaim that d radically every farmer in the land is against rec iprocity, the fact is that the de mand for reciprocity originated with farmers organizations and the agricultural press of the nation. Congressman Ralph W, Moss of Indiana, afarmr himself, and one of the best . friends pi the farmers occupying :a?seat in She balls of Congress, ;Jstahlisd this fact beyond successful ?on ; tradiction in,,trpQK:jSpecl, de livered on the floor, pfc tba House. Mr. Moss cinched his argument by presenti n g resolutions ot farmers Organizations in which they pledged themselves, to work for reciprocity. ' The great national movement among the farmers of the United States to advance reciporal legis- ition began," said Mr. Moss, 'with a meeting held in the Grand Pagic hotel in Chicago in ihCi. There were present at that ::;.M';ing delegates representing !v National Live Stock canon. American Short ;: ! n association.

Saunders was chosen as the ..a dor of the movement. Who is A. H, Saunders? He is a mem icr of the tariff board appointed by President Taft. Saunders as at that time the editor of the Breederal Gazette the most in fluential and widely read farm journal in the United States. Mr Saunders issued a signed state Lent as to the purposes of the donference. He declared his wijl ingness to cooperate with the specific understanding that the interests of ftie farmers and stock growers should be para mount. "It is time," declared Mr. Saunders in his signed statement that somebody should take up the cudgels against those Ttbo lor selfish purposes destroyed Maine's reciprocity conventions, and are still barring the Ameri an stockmen and grain growers : : ) a large and lucrative outlet : ! their goods. The fight forblt t markets worth unknown mil . - !is per year to the farming 'i.'.immities whl not be won in v. eek or a year. It means a cattle royal against intrenched 'ver. but it will be wont beca it is right. " Mr. Moss went on to show that me conference was attended by "lore than 600 delegates, repre senting every principal agricul tural organization in the ration, and that at the close of the meet the following resolution was v.s passed: "That we recommend that a permanent organization be formed :nder the style of the Reciprocal Tariff league, and that a com mittee of 15 be appointed to or ganize and further the work for which this convention was as sembled." Mr. Moss expressed the belief -hat when reciprocity could -be put directly to the red farmers of he country, it would develop mat they are for it- and that the mlecfed hostility of the farmer -xists only in the minds of the Piper manufacturers' and lumber i'arons.
