RECIPROCITY MOVES FORWARD
Campaign of Taft Administration
Advances Apace.
"JIM" WILSON SHOWS BENEFITS
Force fn I "Open Letter" Point
Advantage to the Farmers
Some Democrat Fear Aid
In; Measure.
Out
WASHINGTON". Feb. 10. The campaign
of th Taft administration and the ele
ments allied Snthe same cause for the rat
ification by ' congress of the reciprocity
agreement- with Canada moved on apace
yesterday. The house committee on way
and mean held Its final hearing and It ex
pected In executive seeslon tomorrow
morning to vote to report It favorably for
the confederation of the house.
Wilson for Arer"niet.
Secretary Wilson of the' Department of
Agriculture added his word to the pro-
eclproclty choruw, In the form of a lung
and forceful "open letter" addressed to the
National Grange. The democratic mem
bers of the senate will meet In eaux.ua to
morrow morning. Ostensibly the confer
ence of the minority waa called to out
line a program In relation to all legisla
tive matters, but It la believed the Ca
nadian agreement will consume practically
all of the discussion and that the demo
crats will determine on a policy In re
spect to it.
Democratic leader say naturally they
would be for the agreement, but some of
them are holding off because of the feel
ing that President Taft might be bene
fitted politically by It adoption by con
gress. The democrats who are Inclined to
hla view say they hesitate to assist the
republican party at present.
The attitude of the minority in the sen
ate may, be Influenced by the democratic
sentiment In the house, when the McCall
bill to carry the agreement Into force is
put on It passage. The Indications are the
louse democrats will support the bill. In
which event the senate democrat will
probably follow suit.
John Norrls, chairman of the paper com
mittee of the American Newspaper Pub
lishers' association, today made the final
argument before the ways anxl means com
mittee In support of the pulp and paper
clauses of the agreement, earnestly urging
tta adoption without amendment.
BIU ADVANTAGES TU FARMERS
Markets for Meats and UroJn Thrown
Open to Prodarere.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. "The pending
reciprocity treaty with Canada mill go some
distance towards meeting the demands of
the people at the last election without In
terferlng with the policy of protection aa
applied to the whole world." Thl la the
conclusion of James Wilson, secretary of
agriculture. In an answer on behalf of the
Taft administration to the National
Urange'a declared opposition to th pro
posed agreement.
The anawer Is in the form of an open
letter made public tonight, addressed to
the legislative committee of the National
Grange, Concord. N. H.
Secretary Wilson argue that th coat
of production fn the Un!td Stat and
Canada 1 more nearly Identical than It la
between the United Statea and any other
country, that the aame difficulties, with
regard to farm labor exlat on both aides
of the International line and that Canadian
and American farming methods are virtu
ally the same.
Salaries Behind Price.
Secretary Wilson wrote, ln part:
"Price for the necesaltle of life have
been high and wages and aalarlea have not
kept pace with the Increase. There waa a
demand for lower tarlffa In the laat elec
tion by the population of the town. That
Interest carried the election by default.
A new congrea waa elected along lower
tariff line. If It had any Instruction from
the people.
"Thl treaty i not one-sided, giving our
markets for meals and grains to the
Canudians with nothing In return. We get ,
i. 'nkrltun woods, timber lirodurlM 1
initu erv mil' h needed, as our home sup-
plies ar much reduced that prices have
gone up markedly In the last few year.
Southern tte have a new market for
their cot.onkeed oil, which a 111 be valuable
to them.
"Canada open ita dooi to our fruit,
which will gle to our orchardlsta a grow
ing markot for their product.
"Fish cornea Into th United Utaiaa free,
and
S3S.OO,
which will mean quite as much to our
people as the opening of our markets to
Canadian poultry producta. We are to
have free trade In seeds, which Is well, be
cause many aeeds are more valuable com
ing from northern latitudes.
"We do not grow enough of flax to
make our oils and will derive benefit from
the free introduction of flaxseed. Free
barbed fencing wire will be a boon to our
farmers.
"The Payne tariff act reduces duties on a
great many articlea and we have been hav
ing heavy Importations since the passage
of that act. That may do no harm and
a reduction of the amount of protection
given to some other manufacturers may
do no harm, indeed, may be Justified. but
wnenever tnese rcauciion go as rar as
to" permit very heavy importations of goods
In those classes, the factory stops and th
farmer loses his market.
Reciprocity Different (location.
"Reciprocity With Canada musf - be con
sidered from a viewpoint somewhat dif
ferent from that of a tariff act affecting
our commerce with the entire world.
"Our relations with the people of Canada
are different from our relations with, any
other people. In the first place they ar
a kindred people and their territory runs
form sea to aca along our northern border.
We hud reciprocity with Canada not many
years ago that was abrogated more through
temporary sentimental considerations than
from any other cause.
"If this reciprocity treaty becomes the
law of both countrlea, our relations with
Canada will become more intimate and our
trade with it will extend and Increase, If
this Is desirable In the part of Canada, It
certainly should be desirable on the part
of the people of the United States."
Secretary Wilson concluded that If the
United States handled Canada's surplua
wheat, American transportation facilities
will tend to reduce the price of bread to
the American consumer. He suggests that
the Canadians will also be able to furnish
cattle feeders for the corn belt of the
United States and that meats will be re
duced ln price by the activities of the
American rancher and homesteader.
UNITED STATES MOST FAVORED f
Opposition Speaker Asserts Canada
Gets Worst of Barajaln.
OTTAWA. Ont.. Feb. 10 The Canadian
house yesterday began the debate on
the reciprocity agreement with the United
States. The great Interest In the measure
waa Indicated by crowded galleries and an
unusually large attendance of members.
The result of the afternoon'a discussion
waa a declaration by Finance Minister
Fielding that parliament would put
through the measure without delay with
a provision that It ahould come Into force
aa aoon as the United States had taken
favorable action and a declaration for the
oppoaitlon by Mr. Borden, conservative
leader, that after a. forty-year develop
ment struggle, Canada had reached a po
sition where reciprocity and increased
trade with the United States was no longer
desirable, but that Canada ahould continue
to aeek British markets with her surplus
products.
At the opening of the session French
conservative nationalists attempted to de
fer the discussion. F. D. Monk declared
there had not been enough time for proper
study of so large a question and moved
an amendment regretting that the meas
ure waa being submitted without proper
consideration.
No I ndue Haste.
For the government, Mr. Fielding replied
that the question was not new and there
had been no undue haste In Its prepara
tion. "It is the reciprocity treaty of 1S54 over
again, with comparatively little change,"
he said. "It promise prosperity to th
people of Canada and thla house would
mak a grave mistake and do a grave
wrong If it refused to take advantage
of It.
"The bill will be paased with a suspend
ing clause providing that it shall not come
Into effect until similar action lias been
taken by the United State."
Mr. Monk' motion waa defeated on a
straight party division by a government
I majority of twnty-f1ve and the house went

Objection to Agreement,
"No one favors more than ( the
maintenance of good relations with the
United States, but that country has made
its tariffs to suit itself and Canada could
well take a lesson in this case."
Some of the results of the agreement
which Mr. Borden foresaw were the
abandonment of the British markets, which
Canada had built up with effort and
treasure for forty years, the growth of
commerce with the United States, which
would eventually lead to commercial union
with that country.
He summed up the opposition policy by
pleading Canada should follow the paths It

COMMONS FOR TUB AGREEMENT
Honae Reaffirms Adherence to Free
Trade Principles.
LONDON. Feb. 10. In the first division of
the new Parliament, the House of Com
mons, by a majority of 102, last night reaf
firmed adherence to free trade principles.
The division waa taken on the opposition's
amendment to the address in reply to the
speech from the throne, urging fiscal re
form, with special reference to the proposed
reciprocity agreement between Canada and
the United States which was moved yes
terday by Austen Chamberlain.
The amendment was rejected, by a vote
of 324 to 222. The nationalist, who here
tofore have always abstained from voting
In fiscal divisions, on this occasion sup
ported the government, as also did the
labor! tes.
The debate had far greater vitality than
many former flMcal debate, owing to the
reciprocity agreement, but this fact reveals
such a divergence of opinion on the aide of
the unionists as to how to meet the new
situation that In spite of Austen Cham
berlain's having presented his preference in
the ablest speech he lias ever delivered, no
whole-hearted enthusiasm waa shown by
the unionists.
Premier Speaks for Treaty.
Premier Asqulth made a long speech,
largely devoted to arguments In support of
the government's position with reference
to the agreement, and tn denunciation of
the tariff reform agitation. Mr. Balfour,
leader of the opposition, declared the un
ionists, convinced that their fiscal policy
was right, would continue the fight to the
end.
Homar Greenwood, liberal, said that
what atrengthened Canada commercially,
strengthened the empire politically. Orga
nixed Immigration, and not protection, was
the secret of Canada's success.
The tariff reformers were not taken serl
ously, but were regarded as urging the
oversea dominions an a pawn in t lie do
mestic party game.
Regald McMaster, unionist, suspected
that politics whs at the bottom of the
agreement, which was the first wedge In
the cleavage of (he empire and might
amount to an Imperial disauter.

'The letter waa cheerful, but gave no
Intimation of her disappearance from horn.
I cannot apeak further."

questioned, that he wa not and never had
been engaged to marry Miss Arnold. He
