For Free Exchange.

First-A free exchange Of the products of
the soil, the forest and the mines OF the two
countries, and of the fisheries of the Atlantic
and on the inland waters.
Second-The free exchange of manufact-
ured articles. the component parts Of which
have been produced III either country, are
admitted free of duty in both countries.
One exception should be noted, however.
that where articles are subject to internal
taxes each country should impose a tariff
equal to the internal tax. There might be
some exception to these general rules. which
it is safe TO submit to the judgment of an in
ternatonal commission. The necessities for
revenue might require important modifica-
tions, both as to substance and as to the time
each provision should take effect 1t might
be important that portion of the reduction
contemplated should go into effect at the end
of each year, for few years, until all the

Martins Sentiments


While the committee was absent on
its mission, Hon. Joseph Martin, of Can
ada, made speech on the subject of
reciprocal relations. He called the at
tention OF the convention to the fact
that Mr.. Greenaway had stated his in
ability to attend the convention because
OF important business, but that there
could be nothing of more Importance to
the people of the country than the Sc
curing Of reciprocity. He talked in a
very interesting manner on the subject,
and had the entire attention of the con-
vention. He concluded by saying:
Take question of agricultural implements.
Canada competes with your country in man
ufactdring these articles. You send your I'M
plements 10 Australia and so do we. 1t
would be good thing for Canada if we could
buy the implements as cheap as the Russians
and Australians can, considering freight
charges.

from some Others but we all believe in reci-
procity.

BONDS FOR NOTES.
Congressman Johnson's Scheme for
Solving the Financial Problem.
tie viii Introduce In Congress Bill to
That Effect-Hc Thinks 1t Oncrs
Simple, Safe, Immediate and Sum-
Client Remedy for the Trouble.

WAsmNGroN, Aug. 7.-Congressman
Tom l.. johnson, of Cleveland, proposes
to introduce in the house of representa-
tives bill which Tom firmly believes
will relieve the money stringency and
settle the vexatious problem.
The proposed measure is entitled:
"An Act to Permit the Exchange OF
United States Bonds for Treasury
Notes" 1t provides that any holder
OF bonds may deposit same with the
treasurer or assistant treasurers OF
the United States and receive there
for their face value in treasury notes.
The bonds shall not bear interest while
ON deposit.
Mr.. johnson says: "The bill offers o
simple, safe, immediate and sufficient
remedy for the abnormal scarcity OF
money. The possibility of at once con-
verting United States bonds into mon.
ey would at once end the financial
stringency. 1t is not so much the
amount that would be converted that
would tell, but the amount that could
be converted if there were need. I'he
government would run no risn. II
would merely exchange interest-bear.
ing obligations into non-interest- bear.
ing obligations, with saving for the

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 3.-Deputy Com
missioner Bell was reported a few days
ago as having made an extraordinary
comment on the dispatch from Rome,
O., in regard to the dropping from the
rolls of an old man named j. P. L..
Reed, SO years of age, a former member
of Col. R. G. Ingersoll's regiment, and
the subsequent insanity of the pen
sioncr. Deputy Commissioner Bell was
asked if this alleged interview with
him was incorrect. He replied: II
was Incorrectly reported. l used no
such language.
"In answer to questions by the re-
porter as to what would be the effect
upon the soldiers pension if he had
really become insane, said that If
this were true, the pension would not
be taken away from him or reduced,
for he would be entitled to sig month
for insanity. even if he had no other
disability. This dispatch from Rome,
o., says Reed is SD years of age. This
is erroneous. His papers show him to
be go years of age. If he had been So,
or even rs, his pension would not have
been suspended. for the reason that
Judge Lochren has ruled that where
soldiers who are pensioned under the

OFFICERS OF THE HOUSE.
The Fight For Doorkeeper Takes a Do.
clded Turn.

cided Turn.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The contest
over the elective offices of the house
has become more interesting than il
has ever been. The New York delega
tion will meet at II o'clock Saturday
morning, and it is now understood they
will drop Mr.. Turner as candidate for
the position of doorkeeper, and take ur
Tom Galley, a son of New Yorker, tc
make the race. Hurt whose campaign
is being managed by members from
Tennessee, is confident that the move
will result in his favor. Mr.. Smith, OF
Texas, is equally confident that ths
dropping of Turner will result to hii
advantage.
If the rumors concerning Mr.. Turner
are true, the contest seems to have
narrowed down to the two candidates,
Smith and Hurt, with the advantages
apparently in favor of Smith.
The Ohio delegation met Friday
night to decide which of the two
Ohio candidates for the position OF
sergeant-at-arms, johnson or Yoder,
they should indorse. No action was
taken, although the most favored
Yoder.
Rev. Mr. Stevenson, of Englewood,
ILL.,, will probably be elected Chaplain.
AS already stated, no one will contest
the election of MIR. Crisp, as speaker,
or of Mr. Kerr as clerk.

"Law Alone Makes Money"-So Says the
Populists.
Chicago, Aug. THE executive com.
mittee of the populist party, which has
been in session here since the adjourn
ment of the silver convention, Friday
night issued the following address:
''To the People of the United States:
The friends of more money and less
taxes, devoted to the silver dollar of
the constitution and of our forefathers,
the opponents of contraction. gold
standard and bond monopoly, have just
held their great convention here in
Chicago. 1t was composed of repre-
sentatives and patriotic men from all
parts and from all sections of the coun-
try.
"The overwhelming spirit of this
convention indicates that the whole
nation is alive to the dangers which
threaten us. That convention not
only repudiated the idea of a gold
standard and gold basis, but unani-
mously committed itself to the prin-
ciple that we, as populists, have
long held and cherished, viz: That
law alone makes money, and that the
stamp of the government converts sixty
cents worth of silver into dollar equal
to any gold dollar, and they unani-
mously accepted one doctrine-that the
money of the country should be ade-
quate for the demands of business, and
should expand with the growth of
population and commerce"

CHICAGO. Aug 3.-While it was still
daylight three burglars overpowered
and tied two watchncn in the offices of
the Chicago Newspaper Union, Tues
day evening, then forced open the safe
and CARED away 800 in cash and
SIS, 900 worth of notes and commercial
paper. C. f. Strong, president of the
company, said that portion of the
stolen paper was negotiable. The bur-
glars effected an entrance into the
Office soon after the employees left at
$3.50 o'clock. Soon after, Watchman
Courtney entered the Office when he
was attacked by two men, who tied
him securely and then resumed work
on the safe.
An hour and half later, just as the
men had reached the cash box, another
watchman, ID. B. Driscoll, entered the
room. He was treated in the same
manner as Courtney. When every
thing of value had been taken from the
safe the men quietly took their de-
parture. Four hours afterward the
watchmen succeeded In releasing
themselves and notified the police
Courtney received two long gashes,
one ON the forehead and one on the
back of the head, but 1t is not believed
he is seriously injured.

Saturday morning en- route from the
Worlds fair to his home in Washing

reporter. The vice president was not
in a tallSative mood, and his time in
Cincinnati was limited. He took time
enough, however, to pay a glowing
tribute to the fair, and to pre-
dict that congress would prompt
ly repeal the silver purchasing act
and at this coming session would have
nothing to do with the tariff. 'I
think" he said, 'some substitute will
be offered for the Sherman act, but as
to the provisions Of it l can only
guess" He concluded the interview by
saying: 81 don't think the session of

A STOP TO CERTIFICATES.

The Limit Prescribed by Law Has Been
Reached--U. &. Treasurer Morgan's
Circular.
WASHINGTON, Aug. mo moro sill,
YER certificates will be issued by the
treasury department for the present, as
the limit prescribed by law has been
reached, that is to say, as many silver
certificates are now outstanding as
there are standard silver dollars coined
and in the treasury to redeem them.
Under the Bland act 3S9, 1856, ,374
standard silver dollars have been
coined.
The reduction in the number OF
standard silver dollars in the treasury
has been brought about by the large
demand recently for silver dollars from
the south to move the crops in Georgia
and the Carolinas and to pay off hands
at work on the cotton crop. United
States Treasurer Morgan in q circular
on the subject says:
"Silver dollars can be furnished only
for certificates deposited for exchange
or in return for those received for re.
can be furnished in the place OF
standard silver dollars in sums OF
5000 or more, free of charge for ex.
pressage, or by registered mail in suns
