WANT THE MONEY AT HOME Objection Made to Listing- American Stocks on Berlin Bourse. ADDRESS BY COUNT KANITZ He 9r that Inrestment of Germs a Capital Abroad Raises Interest Rates at Home t merlran torks Attacked. BERLIN. Feb. li. Count Von Kanitx. conservative in the Reichstag, today In terpellated the government regarding what measures It proposed to take to prevent the flooding of ths German market with foreign securities. When the count recently noticed thst he would make this Inquiry he was supposed to neve In mind the current report that the Berlin Handelgeaellschaft contemplated making an attempt to list ths stock of the Chlcsgo. Milwaukee St. Faul railway on the Berlin Boerse. It hss been seml-officlally announced that the Prussian government was consid ering the advisability of the rejecting the application for this listing, If msde, In view of the condition of the German gold market. Speaking on the question today Count Von Kan Its quoted figures showing ths great Increase In the listing of foreign se curities locally and demanded that Ger man capital In the first instance subserve German interests. He continued: American Stocks Attacked. "The movement ot capital out of the country necessarily raises the Interest rate In Germany. The big banks prefer bring ing out foreign Issues to exploiting Germsn loans, sowing to the bigger profits thus secured. It is astonishing with which care lessness second-rate foreign paper is ad mitted to .e German market. The se curities of the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul railway belong ostensibly to the best clsss of Investments and pay 7 per cent, but It Is asserted without contradiction thst this railway recently shows reduced earnings and that Its dividends sre kept up to 7 per cent only In order not to discredit the large sums placed In Germany. Thla and other American securities show fluctuations unknown In Germany. . "Why do not Americans keep these se curities for themselves?'' They have more money than we ha o. They do not find any railway material in Germany. The high tariff renders this Impossible and the Payne tariff law permits the raising of the rate again to a maximum of 100 per cent. German Capital Needed at Home. "The Investment of German capital In American railway securities only places this capital at the disposal of the Ameri can iron Industry, which competes with ours in many overseas markets and espe cially In South America. Thus the German stock market Is rendered more dependent than ever on the New York Stock exchange and their dependence has already become very marked. We have no reason to show a conciliatory spirit towards Americans who have not treated us with especial amiability. "After Increasing their schedules they have issued all kinds of vexing tariff regu lations. Accordingly ws have no occasion to dispense with a careful Investigation of American railway securities or to admit them open-handed out of pure friendship. Foreign securities must be admitted only when first, the home demand for capital has been fully met; second, national ad vantages are to be gained; and third, these securities hava been selected with the greatest care." TAFT WARNS HIGH PRICE ADVOCATES (Continued from First Page.) try from Canada in consideration of the es tablishment of the same duty or freedom from duty on similar goods going Into Canada." Ths president explained that it was thought wiser on behalf of both govern ments not to make a formal treaty, ' but to make an agreement between the executives by which each should submit the agree ment In the form of a statute to be en acted and to go into force on condition that a similar statute was passed by the legis lature of the other country." Either Country Mar Withdraw. He said in part: "This form of agreement makes It one from which either country can withdraw at will by simply changing ths statute by new legislation. "I am a protectionist. That Is, I believe there are certain Industries in this country which need the encoursglng effect of a tariff upon Imports from foreign countries to enable them to pay good wages snd fur nish a reasonable profit to those who en gage In them. The difference In condition w hlch generally makes this tariff necessary Is the lower price of labor In the foreign country as compared with the price of labor In our own. "There was a time when republicans thought there was no danger of having a tariff higher than necessary to protect American Industry. It was thought that if the country was made dependent on manu facturers behind the tariff wall the com petition between the manufacturers would stimulate the reduction In the cost of pro duction snd thus reduce the price. "But the temptation to combine, by which the price could be controlled and thus the excessive tariff taken advantage of, led to a modification of the protection theory and to a determination that the protection of any Industry ought not to exceed In tlie tariff Imposed more than the difference between the cost of produc tion abroad, the cost of t lie production here, and enough to give a fair profit to the domestic producer or manufacturer. Conditions Are Mark Alike. "This limitation necessarily took away any grounds for a tariff betwren thla coun try and any country In which the condi tions of production were substantially the ssme. Tht conditions of production and of manufacture in the L'nlted Slates and In Canada are substantially the same. Wages may differ In one part of Canada from another part, just as wages differ In dif ferent Slates In this country, but the price paid them per unit cf work Is not sub stantially less In Canada than In this coun try. 'in other woids. the plank in the plat form of tlie last republican convention, carried to its logical conclusion, would lead to substantial free Hade with Can ada. "In many rases where Ihe agreement has been criticised for not making greater reduction, we could not secure them be lause, In the Judgment of our Canadian friends, the trade or Industry which they desired to foster would suffer by a greater reduction, thus, with respect to meats, we would have been glad to put them on the iree nil. arson OD.iecied and ws ob- j talned the best f'gures we could " j TJie president said the cr:ttctm that is- ! ductlons hsd been avoided purposely lin manufaeliiied articles wax wholly tin- I founded and that a lerlprortty agreement I between the Inlted States and Canada' must of necekSlty i!;ile more to agrlrul tural piodurts than ma'iufai turei. "The suggestion that fie open.ng of ojr ' markets to Canadian wheat and other) cereals." continued the president, 'will re-: duce the prke of land in Ohio, U;iuoJs. I Indiana snd Iowa is refuted by every table of statistics. "To let the wheat of the northwest come down to Minneapolis snd Chicago will steady the price of wheat. Rut thst It will In the end substantially reduce the rrlce of wheat, fixed for the world In Liverpool, no one familiar with conditions will as sert. "It will give to the fnlted States much grester control of the wheel market than it has ever had before. It will enable Its milling plants to turn Canadian wheat Into flour and aend abroad the finished product and will stimulate the sale ot manufactures and other things that we have to sell to Canada " The president further asserted that In removing the artificial barriers between the northwestern part of the United States and the Canadian provinces, the agreement would result in the bringing over of live cattle to feed on the corn of the Ameri can farmer, Hr Tariff Buarrt la deeded. The president said that no step could be taken more In the interest of a reason able policy of protection than the ap proval of the treaty, "and that In insistence on too much protection would arouse an opposition In this country that will know no moderation." He said that that was his reason, also, for favoring the creation of "an expert tariff commission, or board." "We have taken up those things that ara Involved In a certain reciprocity treaty be cause opportunltj afforded," declared President Taft In conclusion. "Now Is the accepted time. Canada Is at ths parting of the ways. Shall it be an Isolated country, as much separated from us as If it were across the ocean, or shall Its peo ple and our people profit by approxlmlty that our geography furnishes and stimu late the trade across the border that noth ing but a useless. Illogical and unneces sary tariff wall creates?" RKSOI,rT10 O RECIPROCITY Agreement Is Approved kg Repub lican l.eagne of w York. ALBANY. N.

Feb. 11 -Senator Bailey of Danville made public 'oday a letter directed to him by Speaker Joseph G. Cannon of the national house of repre sentatlvea In which the speaker strongly opposes reciprocity with Canada. Following is the text of Speaker Cannon's letter In part: "It Is reported In Washington that you are about to consider In the state legisla ture at Springfield a resolution endorsing tho commercial agreement with Canada which is now pending before congress. "That proposed agreement provides cub stantlally for free trade between Ca.in la and the United States on agricultural products, the farmers' finished product. It Includes. In addition to wheat, barley, corn, potatoes, dairy products, eggs, poul try, etc., cattle, hogs snd other animals on the hoof. Of course, free trade In these products Is by Itself one sided, because we give Canada an immense market for her farm produce, both in theory and in fact, while she affords us practically no market for farm products In fact, whatever may be the theory. "Of course. If there can be any advantage given us which will compensate for the burden of competition thus placed on out farmers we should be able to find it In the terms. I have not found It so far and I note that the Canadian envoy, Mr. Field ing, explains to the mother country that while Canada Is gaining a large market in the l'nlted Statea. the United States is not to gain market enough In Canada to Inter fere with English trade, since few reduc tions are made on our products that would seek a Canadian market, and these re ductions are small."
