TRADE WITH CANADA.

Hon. Wilfred LRarier, the Canadian States
man, Among the Boston Merchants
The Question of Closer Trade Relations
with Canada Should be Met by Ameri-
cans Divested of Political Considerations.
BosToN, Nov. 20.-Hon. Wilfred Lau-
rier, the Canadian statesman, was given
a public reception yesterday in Faneuil
hall by the prominent merchants of
Boston, members of the chamber of
commerce and of the executive busi-
ness mems association. Hon. John M.
Lane, president of the Merchants asso-
citation, presided. Mr. Laurier, who
was very cordially received, said: II
can assure you that it is moment of
pride to address Boston audience in
this great historic hall. Every one who
learns to love freedom looks up to this
Faneuil hall. The question 1 wish to
speak of is that of bringing about
closer relations between Canada and
the United States. / represent one
half the people of Canada and speak
their sentiments. Our banner is
marked for the great freedom of trade
which we believe is necessary, and this
we have entered into our political plat
form.
1--WE appeal to republicans and demo-
Gratis alike, and care not how they
differ on other questions, but on this
question they should not go into poll
tics to settle it. Applause. The
trade question is great one. One of
your greatest parties believes in free
trade, while the other does not. You
believe as to the condition of the
United States that there should be pro-
lection to your own labor, but there
was not any discussion or dissent
about the truth about protection to
free trade. To those who believe in
protection, should say that trade
policy system would not be affected
by reciprocity. You could settle
this question without referring to the
subject of annexation. We, the liberal
party, are accused of being traitors to
our country and told reciprocity would
lead to annexation. 1t would not.
Canadian people are pleased with
American people, and so am 1, but 1
never will discuss the question until
forced to and then / will not dis
cuss it on political basis, but on its
own merits. 1t is not political ques-
tion, but one of political economy.
The prejudices of my fellow-coun-
trymen are SO strongly appealed to that
their better judgment is biased.
Would the people of the United States
benefit by reciprocity? The relations
OF. Canada and the United States have
not been what they should have been.
There should be nothing but the great
est cordiality between the two coun'
tries, Blood is. thicker than water and
must tell. War between the United
States and England would be fratrl-
cidal at the present moment. The
hard construction put upon the treaty
of 1860, dealing with the fisheries was
unnecessary. All the wrong, pardon
me for so saying, gentlemen, was not
upon my side. We should treat as
brothers about our future relaticNs
henceforth and forever" Applause

A Secret Leaked Out and an Important
Movement was Abandoned.
MoNTEvIDEo, Nov. 90 = A dispatch
from Rio Grande' do Sui says that the
insurgent leaders have not got implicit
confidence in each other, and it is
claimed that important secrets as to

appears that the programme of the
insurrection included an attack on the
important city of Desterio, capital of

vessels at the disposal of the new move

the expedition when it was learned
that Fonseca was aware of the in

province of Santa Catherine might be
induced without difficulty to join Rio

j. B. York Again In Trouble.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 2O.-J. B. York was
jailed in this city today on a charge OF
passing raised currency bills. United
States Commissioners Clough heard the
evidence and made out the papers for
the grand jury. York Is young man
of refined appearance. He is about 5
feet inches in hight, of spare build,
and wears a silky beard and long, glossy
hair that give him the appearance of an
artist. He has wife, mother and sis
ter living at Chestnut Bluff, Crockett
County. They are said to be
both beautiful and refined and to stand
high In that community. York was
editor of the Bells Station Vidette, a
weekly newspaper, few years ago. He
was sent to the penitentiary during
Gov Taylor's sadministrat tion for forgery.
He owes his liberty to executive elem
ency. When examined York wore a
haunted, anxious expression, but did
not appear to be depraved man. The
case against York seems to be plain
one. He appears to have no possible
avenue of escape. When arrested a
small bamboo cane which was found in
his possession, was cut in pieces and its
strange contents revealed. 1t was COM
pletely filed with oval bits of engraved
tissue pastors prepared for raising 81
bills to $40 bills. He had enough pastors
to raise fully 100 bills. Besides this
evidence of guilty intent, valuable tools
were found on York's person. An en-
graved copper-plate die for printing the
figure and word ''ten," roller to paste
the strips on neatly and false mus
tache and goatee were among his effects.
Two of the raised bills attempted to be
passed were shown in evidence. They
could deceive few people, for the added
thickness of paper is readily percepti-
BILE. The large figures and lettering
only were raised and changed 80 that by
renarking the edge one can see that the
bill has been altered. York has been
making his headquarters at Brownsville
for some tine. His game was to make
a purchase at some ignorant retailers
establishment, giving supposed SIC
bill in payment, and getting change for
the raised bill. Little is known here
concerning the inside history of York's
life. It is thought remarkable that he
should undertake such desperate work
in the vicinity of his birthplace.

Assessable Tax Values.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 18.-The Comp
troller has received ths tax aggregate
from all the counties in the State except
Bedford, Harding, Hawkins and Lin
coin. The total will show an increase
of about S12, ,000,O 900 in taxable values.
The increase for Middle and West Ten
nessee will be about SO, 900, 900 each, and
for East Tennessee about 5000, 900.
The figures for Shelby County are as
follows: Number of acres, 457, 7,663, valued
at SIC, ,922, ,292; number of town lots,
10, 152, valued at $34, GIT, 006; valuation
of other property, So, 374,637; total valu-
alton, $60,274, s35; State tax. $3.50, 1924. so.
The total valuation for Davidson County
is $55, al, 700; for Hamilton County, $22,
738, $50; for Knox County, S23, ,2s6, 701.
All of the four largest counties show an
increase in valuation, and the smallest
ones in many cases show a decrease.
The net increase in West and Middle
Tennessee is due to Shelby and David
son counties, each of which has an In
crease of about So, 1000, 900. The largest
percentage of increase is shown by
Roane County, which neatly doubles
her State tax. Considered with the in
crease of revenue from railroad taxation
the tax aggregate indicates an increase
of about $500, 900 for the year in the
revenue of the State.

see and Virginia. They go to the place
named, where they will spend several
days in taking depositions in the suit Of
Virginia VS.. Tennessee, now pending In
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The States have been in dispute for
several years over slice of territory
along their border line from Kentucky
to North Carolina. Virginia claims this
territory and is suing to recover it. The
territory in dispute amounts to between
800 and 1000 square miles, being about
eight miles deep and some fifteen miles
long. If Virginia should win she will
get nearly one-half of six counties, in
cluding the prosperous city of Bristol,
the town of Cumberland Gap, the big
Louisville & Nashville railroad tunnel
there, several miles of the Knoxville,
Cum berland Gap & Louisville railroad
and the East Tennessee, Virginia &
Georgsa railroad. The country involved
is rich in mineral, timber and coal, and
the Old Dominion is trying hard to gain
it. 1t is expected that the case will be
heard next March or April. Tennessee
resists on the ground that line which
has stood undisturbed since 1902 should
not be disturbed now. Virginia claims
that she has never acquiesced in the
line, and that the matter has always
been in dispute. In this territory in
question it is thought there are about
$4,000 souls. Taken from Tennessee 1t
would not affect the State politically,
nor would it affect Virginia materially,
as the voters are about evenly divided
between the Democrats and Republicans.

AN 1rNNEcEss.RY CONVENTION.

Some time ago The DISPATCH pointed
out that the professed need for Constitu-
tlonal convention was not by any means
adequate to its possible damages. 1t is
easy to provide practical ballot reform IN
accordance with the Constitution. Because
we have an excellent instrument which GER
tain prominent interests would be very glad
to see emasculated is not calculated to
increase confidence in the integrity of the
demand for the convention. In short, The
DISPATCH was decidedly of the opinion
that the Constitutional convention is not
wanted.
The statement published yesterday with
regard to Robinson s bill for a Constitutional
convention is striking illustration of this
point If the sole result of the convention
were to give the Legislature annual in
stead of biennial opportunities for self
exposure, it might not be very vital ques-
tion. But this is not all that would be pos
sible. Senator and Congressman Robinson
first called attention to himself In the legis-
lative halls by a speech in which he termed
an anti-discrimination bill "Jack Cade leg
islation." He quoted Shakespeare to estab-
lish his point and declared he would not
respect all the provisions of Constitution
which be was under oath to support. A
statesman who relies on works of the imag-
ination for historical facts, and forms his
views from dramatist who never mentions
the participation of the people in political
matters, except in ridicule, may deem the
Constitutional convention so much fore
gone conclusion as to provide for the cleo
ton of its members before the convention is
ordered. But very respectable preponder-
ance of public opinion will take the oppo-
site view.
There are great many restrictions in the
Constitution which have been found of great
value to the public, but are highly incov-
venient to certain powerful interests. Cor
porate aggressions are restrained, reckless
extension of municipal debts, and numerous
other practices not unknown in the State be-
fore the adoption of the present instrument
are provided against. The ability of the
proposed convention to wipe out these salu-
tary provisions, in addition to giving the
Legislature annual employment, is too man.
ifest to permit question. Any of the inter
ests desiring the removal of these restrictions
are at liberty to urge that such amendments
be submitted separately, each to be decided
on its merits. But to do this job in round
lots is something that the people should
sternly negative.
The present Constitution was framed to
last more than eighteen years. What is
needed now is its enforcement and not its
emasculation.
