paratIvely large. and showed conclua
ively where the advancing young men
OF the day stand.

Then Mr.. McVeigh discussed the
tariff, taking for his example salt and
wire nails, and showed how these in
terests nad advanced since the intro
ductlon OF the Mckinley bill.
tie also talked of the policy of reel
proclty, which he believed was a sub
jet which had not received as much
discussion as II .nerited. In 1890 We
consumed wo-thIrds of Brazil's coffee
and bought $500, 000. 900 of goods from
them, while they bought only sol ,000,-
200 OF goods from US
The republican statesmen saw that
this was not right, and conceived the
reciprocity theory. The South Ameri-
can republics, which had taken $780,
100000 OF goods from Us, put an al
most prOhibltOry tariff OIL many Of our
staple1 We offered an exchange of
goods on an equal footing and magnifi-
cent results followed. The United
States can not produce molasses. sugar,
cotfees and hides, which are the only
things now on the free list.

because II honOred its heroes,
