Der Is 1899. senator Plumb proposes to restrict tho
operation Of the reciprocal arrangement to manufac

Mr. Plumb addressed himself 10 the lead paragraph
If the proposition of the Finance Committee were TO
prevail and to result the Senator from Colo

senator from Colorado In his remarks yesterday, had
not only magninod hi Office. but had magnilcd his
people. lie had said, with little p1rionable bun
comlc that the o. Colorado had made the State
| of Kansas what II was. :
In tho fret place tile people VI Kansas have
given 70 Colorado practically It's entire territorial
area, and had also given 10 1t a large portion 81
| It's population, who had got their RcpUbucanLm and
| their good citizenship In Kansas. But when the
| senator spoke Of ColoradOs trade OF s5,o0O000
| year with Kansas. he overlooked the fact that the
| chickens and eggs OF Kansas were worth more thnn
| that. The entire mineral product Of Colorado
| amounted to only about S2700O.O0O ycar-a largo
| amount To be surc-but the climate Of that state
| yielded twice much every year. If the miners
of Colorado got $1,000 year In wages las the Sen
sior aid they got from ~ 10 "a day.. aud II they
| numbered - 900 men, they would absorb In wages
| the entire mineral prcsiuct Of tho state, leaving
| nothing for capital The wheat industry and the
| potato industry Of Colorado worth than
| is silver and gold industries. The people who
went there every year 10 enjoy its climate, its fish
ing and s other fluctuations, in summer. spent more
money there every year than the entire mineral
product Of the State. that the senator had been.
when he made everything hang on the mineral
products Of Colorado minimizing the importance Of
his state.
Mr. Teller remarked that the duty lead products
had been raised In the carly part of the bill and
he did not recall that the senator from Kansas
