Kasaon, many yar a congressman from Iowa and lately etigad tinder McKlnley and Roosevelt as reelpror. Ity eommlsaioner to negotiate th treatVaa with other countries on a reciprocity bast. Mr. Kasaon, m a letter to The Bee cor respondent In response to an Invitation ft an expression of hla views, dlscuaeed th Iowa platform freely and aald: WASHINGTON,' May ST. Mr. Or Wil liams, Des Molnea My Dear Sir: In reply to yours of th 22d Instant, I have not the health or vigor to hter Into the discussion to which you Invite me. I thank you for th copy ot th platform you aent m. and regret that meanlngltnn platitude have been-substituted In u about th tariff for the usual plain talk to which Iowa farmer wer treated In former times. Not one politician in a thousand tudls the aotual condition of oir exjv-Tta to foreign coun triea, or of our Ircports from U.om. and the relations of each to our home Indus tries. They do not understand that in those articles, particularly of a-atricultura, where of we produce a large surplus for exort. ir me foreign market were lost to ua the effect upon the home Industries concerned would be Just as disastrous to r-ur Indus , tries as if an equal amount of foreign product were Imported. It is surpluses on our market, no matter where they come from, that maka prices sag. Hnc it I of prima Importance to ua to secure alway foreign markets for our aurptus. Again, the platform favora "reciprocity hi non-competltlve products only." Will the author of 4ht plank try hla fand at mak ing a treaty with any nation of Europe on that baslaf I wish he would. He would find enough business covered bv hla treaty tn maintain a store- at a Kentucky cross roads village. .' Hot Pre Trade. Reciprocity does not mean free trade. As Interpreted by the treaties made under the Dlngley tariff act and by direction of Presi dent McKlnley, it means a concession on our side of a percentage of duties of our tariff "not needed for the adequate protec tion of our Industries" In exchange for a reduction of duties on the other side, which Is of more Importance te our production for the export trade. It waa ao interpreted by Dlngley himself In the offers he . made , to the Canadians In the British-American commission wiwn 'a reciprocity convention was under consideration. On some things he offered a larger or smaller reduction of duty, in some eases -entire freedom from duty in exchange for-aatiafaotory conces sions on the other side. This platform Indorses the Dlngley act and in the next eentence repudiates the reciprocity for which it provided. Further, the platform hus expressions ot a mysterious lgnincajice, aa when it de- -clares It "unwise to legislate In a manner to provoke American industries to making war upon each other." Does this niean that competition should be discouraged and monopolistic agreements stimulated I can not telleve this, and yet to what legislation does It referT I shot-Id have desired a platform which declares with old Iowa frankness that we adhere firmly to the doctrine of protection to home production and home Industry, adoquate. to the maintsnanee of th horn market with fair profits to the labor and capital employed.. At the same time we recognise the necessity of -securing. foreign markets for our rapidly -inoreaaing surplus production beyond the demands of the home market. We also recognise the fact that in a country of rapidly cl.anging develop ment and ever changing International com merce no tariff law can be like "the law of the Meden and Persians, which changeth not," but should be revised from time to time to -adapt It to changed condition, whether Increasing or lowering the duties, according to the needs of the time. Such changes, however, should be entrusted by the people only to the party which stand firmly by the principle of protection to home industry. -Very truly yours, :. . JOHN- A.
