MY Dear Sir,A You. inform. me thai

Ohio, Keep the following paragraph

Of p1rk, '--,Jares g. Aai,> ~ Senator
Fyye. July II. 1890.
This sentence is garbled aud.taken
fro its proper connection ,, creates
wrong impression. What I did say is
rhe following;
do nd doalt' that IN mang re-
pects'he Ea1!B6iR peaaind IN he Sen
efc g o Just measure, and Mat most ef'
rs PROFESSIONS IS ~ accordance. gitt the
'e'se policy IF protection. but there is not
a section or a line in the entire bill that
-
will open market for another bushel of
wheat or smother pound Of pork,
The letter in which this paragraph oc-
ienrs was written to Senator FRYE on,
'dfiiy Il le1s9O. .and the. Mckinley bill,
d'd not become a law until October LIST
- nearly three months thereafter.
In my letter to Senator Frye object
I'D to the bill because il did not contain
reciprocity clause, which, would pro-
vide market for wheat and pork far
other. prodacts Of the fa-ul,s and for vari.
Gus fabrics.
Before the bill was finally passed the
reciprocity clause was inserted and
large addition was made toa,he flee list.
It. will, therefore, be seen from what |
nd ~ my letter that the objection
which | made to the Mex nley bill was
entirely removed before tlts bill became
a law. a.
Lei me further say that.tLe reciproel-
" clause has given ample market for
many barrels of -four and many pound,
Of pork i

into treaty by which many American
articles are admitted free. Flour is

Cuba and Porto Rico hare reduced
lie duty on -four from S. 30 barrel to
81, which gives US the market, besides
'utting nearly one hundred articles Of
american production on the free list.
San Domingo has made a reciprocity
reaiy, WITH flour aud pork upon the free
