countries producing those articles, and it
authorizes the president to suspend by

fee, tea aud hides, the product Of countries

senator Vest on Reciprocity.
Mr. Vest then spoke on reciprocal trade
relations. He asserted that American aCri-
cultural implements were sold in South
America at half the prices American farm
ers had to pay for them. He said that Mr..
Blaiae talked Of reciprocity with South
America when he knew that the South
AmeEcan republics were the greatest rivals
the United States had in supplying Europe
with agricultural products, and when he
knew that three-fourths Of the agricultural
exports of the United States went to Great
Britain. And yet the senator from Maine
(Air. Halel, voicing the administration,
said that the United States could have rec
iprocity with South America, but not
with Great Britain, because Great Britain
was the great manufacturing rival Of the
United States. He asked where could
American farmers sell their wheat, corn,
beef and 5acon except to Great Britain.
There was no market in South America,
for they produced the same articles; yet
senators stood, daggers in hand, and as
