OUR WASHINGTON LETTER !
( Special Correspondent ) ?
True to promise , 'the democratic
house of representatives will pass
the Canadian reciprocity measure.
"But we don't like the particular
brand of reciprocity advocated by
Mr. Taft , " a few of the farmers are
still saying. "The measure in
question reduces the tariff on raw
products without a corresponding
downward revision on manufactur
ed articles. "
The compaiative few who take
" * 3jjeWj however , overlook one
" ' very important fact. , The demo-
'cratic house will not pass the reci
procity bill as being in itself a ful
fillment of pre-election promises to
revise the tariff downward , but
merely as a step in that direction.
Other objects of reciprocity are tbe
- . promoting of closer friendship with
"Canada and the keeping of faith
with Pres. Taff , who was assured
'that if he called an extra session
Vt'he democratic house would pass
" . the reciprocity bill.
Those who opposed the passage of
the reciprocity bill by a republican
administration on the ground that
"manufactured articles were not
treated the same as raw products ,
are obviously not justified in op
posing the passage of the measure
by' the democrats.
'With the republicans reciprocity
wasMo have been the beginning and
'end'bf tariff reform. With the demo
crats it is but a beginning.
Mark ibis difference :
' I Reciprocity under a republican
house meant the McCall bill with
tbe 195 per cent Payne-Aldrich duty
on Woolen blankets , tbe 116 per
cent Payne-Aldrich tax on woolen
underwear , and many other similar
outrages , remaining intact.
Reciprocity under a democratic
houee will-mean the McCall bill
'witfh only its good features remaining -
ing in force , and with its. most ob
jectionable features made null and
l < void by the passage of separate
bills reducing the tax on woolens
-and placing lumber and other
necessaries of life on the free list.
These separate bills refer not only
to imports from Canada , but the
imports of all nations of the earth.

What is tlere about service with
the government which so peculiarly
[ its a man for \Yall street ? Do
Morgan and Rockefeller give out
these high salaried positions to
government employees for services
rendered by them while they'are IB
Lbe goveinment service , or is it be
cause of a realization that men likt
a secretary to the president are
likely to have valuable secrets whicl
may be useful for s-ecalative ] pur
poses.
Going or coming , the path be
tween Wall stieet and President
Taft's immediate circle is shorl
and much traveled. Attorney Gen
eral Wiokershaiu , it will be recalled ,
was formerly a sugar trust attorn-
ry ; the president's brother , Henrj
P Tuft , is on iecord as a sugai
trust all01 ne } ; ex-Secietary of th <

rimau and general counsel for th <

* A Change Suggested.
The democrats may decide to adc
a clause to the reciprocity agree
ment authorizing the president , b ]
executive act , to reduce the tarif
duties of this country , on any item ,
whether included in the Canadian
agreement or not , whenever Canads
is willing to put them on her fre <
list. This would not interfere witl :
the pending pact , but it would bi
an invitation on the part of ou ]
government to Canada to unite witl
us in ultimate free trade. There ii
a { growing conviction that ther <
is no reason for a tarifi.all betweer
the United States and Canada thai
there would be , for one between
Indiana and Illinois , or any othe ]
two of our states.
President in No Hurry.
President Taft doesn't want th <
democratic house to do anything ir
extra session tut pass tbe reciproc
ity bill. Schedule "K , " he feels
should lernain as it isuntilrevisioi
can Je based on the results of ar
invesigation by men appointed ty
himself. The president has ap
parently forgotten that the peopli
have said they want the tariff re
vised this time from the democrati <
not the republican viewpoint.
Schedule "K" Has Got to Go.
Chairman Underwood ot the Nev
Ways and Means committee , nipor
hearing that the woolen interests
are preparing to rnafch < upon Wash
ington in force , declared that while
they would be treated fairly , the
woolen interests.might just as wel !
make an assault upon Gibralter as
upon the house.
In other uords Schedule "K/
