The Uucxtlon <>' Canadian Iteclproc ity—Democrnta Mlfrlit Rendopt Re»- , '.utioi> l-imsed In Their Convention of is;ta. Following lire excerpts from a speech i>f Hon. Leslie M. Shaw, secretary of 11,. - treasury, before the Marquette i of Chicago, Feb. 12, 1904: It will be somewhat difficult to get uii issue out of the tariff. There is considerable talk uliout high i.ml low protective tariff schedules, 1 nt this does not Involve a principle :nl cannot be made an issue. No one n:i write a formula that will distin ct- li between high protection and low protection. Two years ago, when we were having an. annual surplus, our 1 ii'inocratic friends said it was be . use the tariff was too high. Now we li.-i' o n monthly deficit, and they say i! ; ; also is because the tariff is too high. Two years ago they said that if I lie tariff were lowered the revenues would lie decreased. Now they say lii.it if the tariff were lowered the rev alues would bo increased. '1 lie only other possible issue that an lie carved from the tariff is the r iposition that our present protective pi »iicy shelters trusts and monopolies. i i r political opponents have rung the i-hanges on this so long and reconi 'i ended the removal of duties from I rust made goods until the trusts are UMroyed with such continued vehe iM'iico that a reaffirmation of their po .iii can scarcely be made the para ; ount, though it may become a prom inent. issue 1r tlie next campaign. Ihe American people by this time in ;ht to understand that any tariff policy that will destroy a monopoly will forbid the creation of a competitor . r 11 it? monopoly and will deprive la of much profitable employment, it must not be forgotten that in 1003 ;l e Democratic party in Massachusetts ..(•••hired in favor of reciprocity with ranada, and several Democratic con gressmen have recently made speeches in support of that proposition. This will probably be an issue in the next itnpaign. The Dingley tariff act au thorised the negotiation of reciprocity treaties, and President McKinley ap peinted Hon. John A. Kasson of my ii state special commissioner to con •i negotiations. He signed numer ous conventions, all of which were sub mitted to the senate for ratification. Nt one was ratified and because of a prevailing impression that the grand olii statesman and diplomat had sur rendered more than he had acquired. in addition, a joint high commission whs created in 1808 consisting origi nally of five representatives of this tdvernment and live from Great Brit ain. most of whom resided in Canada. Subsequently the commission was in (r<-.seil to six representatives of each K-i.vniment. To tills commission was Mihmitted the subject of reciprocal trade relations between the United St: tes and Canada. This country was represented by Senator Fairbanks of i i liana as chairman; Mr. Dingley of \ iine, the author of the Dingley tariff whose place is now filled by Mr. Payne, chairman of the committee on v ays and means; Mr. John Foster, who negotiated all the reciprocity treaties under tlie McKinley act, and John A. Kasson, special commissioner under the Dingley act. No agreement lias yet been consum i ited. And why? Simply because of tin' Canadian attitude on the subject. ' • asks free trade in natural prod mis and offers little in return. If we ,1 permit the Canadian farmer to sl ip his dairy products, his poultry products, his pork, his potatoes and his hay across the lakes and the St. I wrcnce river and down the Atlantic > a< oast to supply our artisans without tlie imposition of tariff duties, then Canada will generously consent that t e farmers of the T'nited States ship their butter, eggs, hay and potatoes into Canada. I'lie point I wish to emphasize is this: If such men as Senator Fair banks, Mr. Dingley, Mr. Foster and Mr. Kasson would not consent to tlie only terms obtainable, it raises a very rong presumption that Canada tie ( .iied to make reciprocal reciprocity arrangements. The joint high commis : i in is still in existence, and it is hoped that Canada will conclude to concede uiiething to the advantage of the treat mass of our people. The place to discuss the question, therefore. Is north of the forty-ninth parallel. The Democratic.' congressmen who have spoken in favor of Canadian ri ciproeity know full well that the American people will never consent to e only terms at this time obtainable, and they are making their speeches iar.;ely to cause unrest and dissatisfac i.' oi in Republican ranks. One of tlion) presents tlie Fifth district of Minne a, embracing Minneapolis, and Min i apoiis is supposed to favor free trade io wheat with Canada. A prominent I .litician of that city recently explain ed to me their position. He said: "We have built our flouring mills as !at";e possible unless we can have Can i . an wheat. We are now shipping high Heed wheat from Kansas and Okla homa. Unless we can have the cheap er wheat of Canada we must cease to P.T PRfK'LAMATIOB. Hon. E. il. DliHH.t*, Preside!..

The Democratic representative of tlie Eleventh district of Massachusetts lias also been heard on the floor of con gress in advocacy of reciprocity with Canada, and he centers his argument upon shoes, an important product of his state. The fact that Canada will not consent to the reduction of the duty on shoes Is immaterial to him. If he can create a local sentiment that his party, if in power, would secure free trade in shoes with Canada, he will probably be returned. But the country nt large cannot be carried on that prop osition, though certain districts may lie. If I were to advise the opposition 1 should recommend the readoption of the resolution passed In 1832 at the first Democratic national convention. It reads as follows: Resolved, That It be recommended to the several delegations in thia convention that in place of a general address from this body each delegation make such dec laration, by address, report or otherwise, to Its respective constituents of the ob jects, proceedings and result of this meet lug as it may deem expedient. Under that resolution the campaign can be localized. The manufacturers of New England can he promised free raw material, and the producers of iron in Michigan can be promised a protective tariff on ore and farmers of tlie northwest a toriff on wool and hides. The millers of Minneapolis cau be assured cheap wheat from Canada, and the farmers can be cousoled with a promise that their market shall not be disturbed. The last Democratic state platform in Massachusetts, de claring in favor of the retention of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, can be made to do good service in New England. Maryland can be carried on tlie strength of recent utterances of the Democratic senator from that state that the Caucasian race must govern, while Mississippi can be made stron ger than ever by reiterating the speeches of its newly inaugurated governor that education demoralizes and criminalizes the negro. From this platform the discontented everywhere could be appealed to in language they will understand. High priced wheat and high priced cattle for the farmer and cheap meat and cheaper bread for the laborer will no longer possess a seeming inconsistency. Correctly Apprehended. The free trade writers of the Demo cratic press have been Jolted into ac tivity by Congressman Dalzell's speech. 'The New York World draws the very obvious conclusion that in consequence of this speech "the tariff must be dis cussed." Undoubtedly. The tariff must always be discussed when, as this year, freetraders are massing their forces in another attempt to dislodgo protec tion. The New York Times culls the speech a "brutal challenge" and sees no reason to suppose that it does not represent "the dominant sentiment In the party—that Is to say, a sentiment which the leaders can count on hi the convention." Yen. verily, It is a chal lenge. a brutal challenge, if you like to call it so, and of a truth it does Indeed represent a sentiment on which the leaders of the Republican party can safely count In the convention of .Tune 121. Why not? Democratic makers of speeches and writers of editorials have made the tariff the dominant issue, practically the only issue, for 1004. Republicans accept the and chal lenge the enemy to a fight to a finish. The significance of the Dnlzell speech seems to have been correctly appre hended. It is well. ISml»«rr«Haed by Frleuda. Friends of Judge Parker say that the connection of David 11. Hill with his boom for president is injuring the chances of their favorite. Mr. Hearst is also likely to find himself in a simi lar predicament, as some of his boom | ers, notably in Massachusetts and Ne ' braska, may not be of great help to his candidacy.—Springfield Union. mature Study In Pnblle School*. The grange everywhere is interested in tlie advancement of the public schools. The latest evidence of it is In tlie state of Oregon. The Oregon state grange has heartily Indorsed the intro duction of nature study In country schools. Last year a teacher in one of the public schools of a Portland suburb led her scholars in excursions to the woods and fields near by to study plants and Insects there. This is the first time such a method of nature study has been taken up in this state, and so Interesting and successful was it that many of the country schools will take it up this fall. John D.
