ments in Ita favor are so eonvtnolng that
I may be pardoned If I do not dwell on
specific rates.
"We tendered to the Canadian aommla-

the other, at
S jfhy that a
of either eountry, manufactured or nat
ural, but the Canadian commissioners did
not feel Justified in going so far. It Is
only reasonable to Infer, therefore, that
with respect to those articles upon which
they refuse free trade to us, they felt that
the profitable price at which they could
be sold by our manufacturers in Canada
was leas than the price at which their
manufacturers could afford to sell the
tama either to their own people or to us.
Removal of Duty No Object.
"Hence it follows that their refusal to
agree to free trade In these articles as we
proposed Is the strongest kind of evidence
that if we should take off, the existing
duty from such articles coming into the
United States It would not affect In the
slightest degree the price at whloh those
articles could be furnished to the publlo
here. ,
"Thus the reason why meats were not
put on the free list In this Canadian agree
ment ' was because Canada felt that the
competition of our packers would Injuri
ously affect the produots of their paoking
houses. If that be true, how would it help
our consumer or lower the price of meat
in our markets If we let their meat in free
while they retained a duty on our meat?
"The same thing Is true of flour, and yet
gentlemen Insist that the farmer has been
unjustly treated because we have not put
Canadian flour and meat on the' free list.
And It is proposed to satisfy the supposed
grievance of the farmers by now doing so
without any oompensatlng concession from
Canada.
"This proposal would be legislation
passed for political platform use, without
accomplishing any real good.
"Favarwd Natlaa Claaae" laTalved.
"In another aspect, however, the effect
of the proposal might be serious. Of
course, a mere reduction of our tariff, or
the putting of any article on our free list
without tnalBtlng on a corresponding change
In the Canadian tariff, will not interfere
with the contract as made with Canada;
but if we do make suoh eonoesslons, with
out any consideration on the part of Can
ada, after the contract has been tenta
tively agreed upon by those authorised to
make oontraots for ratification In both
governments, then ws are In danger of!
creating an obligation against Us In favor
of all the other foreign countries with
whom we have existing treaties containing
what la called the 'favored nation' clause
"There are two objections, therefore, to
Inserting in tno mil confirming this Can
adian contract, additions to our free llet
from Canada. The first is that they are a
concession that is of no value to those
whom it is proposed to propitiate by
adopting It. and the second Is, that It may
Involve us Indirectly la a doubtful obliga
tion with respect to trade with other coun
tries. "More than this, these proposed grat
uitous concessions are in the nature of an
admlselon that la some way or other, we
bave done an Injury to a particular claas
by this Canadian reciprocity agreetneo. I
deny It It Is said that It Injures the
farmer. I deny It. It la strictly In accord
ance with the protective principle that we
should only have a protective tariff be
tween us and countries In which the condi
tions are so dissimilar as to make a differ
ence In the cost of production.
Farm Ceadltleaa llaiUafi
"We raise corn, and hogs and cattle fed
on corn, and with the exception of a small
part of the acreage of Canada, la Ontario,
It la not possible to raise corn at all in the
dominion.
"With respect to wheat and barley and
oats, conditions differ in different parts of
Canada and in different parts of the United
Slates. Classing them together as on the
whole the conditions are substantially the
tm Miwa of las' difference
1
are no greater between Canada and the
United Btates than between the different
states In the United Btates. In the matter
of farm wages, ott the whole, they are
about the same.
"It is said that this Is an agreement that
affects agricultural products more than
manufactures. That is true, but If we
are to have an Interchange of products be
tween the two countries of any substantial
amount, the chief part of It must neces
sarily be in agricultural products. As it is
we export to Canada more agricultural
products than ws receive from there and so
It will bs afterward. The effect is not
going. In my Judgment, to lower the spe
cific prices of agricultural products In our
country. It Is going to steady them and
It Is going to produce an Interchange of
products at a profit which will be bene
ficial to both countries.
"If objection can be made to the treaty
on the ground that a particular class de
rived lexs benefit from it than any other
class, then It Is the manufacturer of the
country who ought to object, because the
treaty In Its nature will not enlarge hi
market as muoh , as it will that of the
farmer.
' Treaty Only to B Tried. """""
"There Is no obligation on either nation
to continue the reciprocity agreement any
longer than It desires, and If it be found
by actual practice that there is an Injury
and a permanent Injury, to the farmers
of this country, everybody knows that
they can sufficiently control legislation to
bring about a change and a return to the
old conditions. Those of us who are re
sponsible for the Canadian treaty are will
ing and anxious to subject It to that kind
of a test
"Another, and a conclusive reason for
closing the contract Is the opportunity
which It gives us to increase the supply
of our natural resources which, with the
wastefulness of children, we have wan
tonly exhausted.
"It la amusing and I am not sure that
it has not soms elements of consolation in
It, to find that all the bunoombe and all
of the exaggeration and misrepresentation
in politics and all of the political ghosts
are not oonfined to our own country, and
that there has entered Into the discussion
In Canada, as a reason for defeating ths
adoption of this oontract by the Canadian
Parllajnec t, a fear that we desire to annex
the dominion; and the dreams of Amer
icans with Irresponsible imaginations, who
like to talk of the starry flags floating
front Panama to ths pels ars exhibited by
the opponents of the Canadian treaty in
Canada as the declaration of a real policy
by this country and a an announoement
of our purpose to push ' political control
over our neighbor of the north.
"It would be Invidious to Institute a
comparison between the government of
Canada and this country, but there Is ons
part of our Jurisdiction and that of Canada
that oome together sufficiently close to
enable the Canadians and ourselves to
realise that the sample of government that
we exhibit is not alluring. I refer to the
control of Alaska, as compared with the
control by Canada of her northwest ter
ritory. The talk of annexation la 'bosh.'
Everyone who knowe anything about It
realises that It la 'bosh.'
"It may be that the Canadian contract
does not go far enough. In it we were
limited by the reluctance of Canada to go
aa far a w would wiah to have her go,
but the fact thai It does not go far enough
la the poorest reason for not going as far
aa we can."
Youthful Of ficer's
Force is Wiped Out

Lieutenant Just Out of School and
Twenty-Eight Federal Soldiers
Killed by 400 Bebelg.
'
MEXICO CITY, April .-Refusing to
surrender or leave the train on which he j
and his command of thirty soldiers were
being brought to the capital, a second lieu
tenant, little more than a boy, yesterday
engaged in a battle with a force of 400
rebels at Cajones, Guerrero. At the con
clusion of the brief encounter the lieuten
ant and twenty-eight of the soldiers were
dead and the remaining two of his men
were prisoners. One of the arms of ths
lieutenant was shot away.
The rebels were under command of
"General" Prudencio Flguero. Learning
that troops were being carried on the
Cuernavaca division of the National rail
way, the rebel commander marched to
Cajoes, a station some dlstanoe below
Cuernavaca. When the train stopped, he
sent forward a messenger to demand the
surrender of the troop and a request If
they would not surrender to abandon ths
train In order that the lives of the pas
sengers bs not endangered.
Fresh from the School of Asplrantes, a
military training school, the boyish officer
ssnt back word that bs had orders to oon
tlnue on that train. Little time was lost
In beginning the fight. The rebels poured
down the embankment on either side of
the train and almost simultaneously the
shooting was begun by them and by the
soldiers on the train.
Passengers who had been Imploring the
young efucr tu yield were in a panic.
The cries of women and children were
neara in the roar of the rifles and the
shots from the rebels raked the sides of
the train, many entering the coaches
ocoupled by passengers. But one did per
sonal oamage.. That one killed Louis
Bustamente, a young civil engineer on his
way to the capital to be married. Busta
mente was kneeling beside a frightened
little girl passenger attempting to comfort
her when he was shot.
Pasaeugers who arrived here on the train
late last night brought the story of the
battle to the capital and today there stood
In the yards of the railway, the bullet-
scarred coaches, mutt evidence of the en
counter.

Gardner Introduces Resolutions of
Inquiry in Response to Charge by -
Pennsylvania Representative.
WASHINGTON, April 28. A sensation
was sprung in ths house today when Rep
resentative Gardner of Massachusetts In
troduced resolutions of Inquiry In response
to a charge by Representative Dlfen-
derfer of Pennsylvania that money and In-
fluence were being used to give an east
ern manufacturing concern a monopoly In
the contracts for shoes for the army and
navy.
Mr. Difenderfer said he could prove his
assertions and aa a result Mr. Gardner
called upon the secretary of war and sec
retary of the navy for all possible Infor
mation concerning the shoe contracts.
Mr. Difenderfer Interrupted Mr. Gardner
in his speech on the free list bill yesterday
while dlucusstng government contract
prices for army shoes. .
"Ia it not a fact," he asked, "that Her
man it Co. of Boston absolutely control.

In the United Btates, the manufacture of
shoes for the army and navy of ths
United States V
Mr. Gardner replied that he had never
heard of such a firm.
"I shaU be at liberty, then. In the near
future," Mr. Difenderfer said, "to sb-w
to the gentleman that they have absolute
control of the shoes manufactured In ths
country for the army and navy, and that
tliey bave frosen out competitors that I
know of, who have lost out and today are
bankrupt, owing to the fact that this
firm of Herman a Co. has used Its Influ
ence with the government representatives
of ths United -tates, or thoss in control
of ths government of the United Btates
bave used their Influence to freeze out
competitors and have placed them on the
black list, so to speak, and nave even
gone so far as to give money so that
other firms may not be competitors after
freezing them out."
Mr. Gardner said that the statement was
an impeachment of the government au
tborlties and today introduced his resolu
tions, whloh were referred to the oom-
mlttec on military and naval affairs.

MAflON CITY, Ia, April 8. Specl-l
A new phase of ths Iowa liquor law la
looming up. Yesterday there arrived in
this olty thirty-one barrels of beer and
three cases, all consigned to different In
dividuals, embracing about all the Greek
and Montenegro names to be found both
in and out of the olty directory. Whether
they are fictitious names or not la hard
to prove, but from developments It looks
as if some of them may be. It was Du
buque manufactured beer, but shipped
from Fulton, III., aeoordlng to the report
of one of the officers. And now comes
one of the Greek Interpreters and asked
to sign for It all. Tme bills had not all
arrived and of oourse.the agent could not
permit him to do this. Just what pro
ceedings the officers will take regarding
this shipment is not yet known. It seems
to be quite a question of law whether the
Greek Interpreter has a legal right to sign
for all this shipment, but If be Is act in

It would be difficult to deprive him of this
right Thla is a shipment of 2.S04 quart.
