expected of an overworked man. Up at 6
O'clock in the morning, after few hours
of sleep was followed by twelve hours
Of speech making and railroad travel be-
fore Mr.. Bryan reached this city. When
he did arrive tonight at $50 o'clock he
was escorted by the Duckworth Club and
other political organizations from the sta
tion to the Gibson house.
A hasty supper and a quick change or
clothing and the candidate was taken TO
Music Hall, under the escort Of the Duck
worth Club. Here he was down for a
speech, but it was not the only one 10
which Cincinnati expected to listen. No
less than four speeches, three in Cincin-
natl and one in Covington were wanted Of
Mr. Bryan.
He talked so long at Music hall that he
was obliged TO ignore the overflow meet
ings and make a quick jump to Coving-
ton.

for this beautiful auditorium is 5000, and
at that rate of computation there were at
least 10000 people sitting and standing on

Outside, the streets were jammed by enor-
nous crowds, and all the entrances were
besieged by people eager for admittance.

chairman Of the democratic county exec

speech which nobody heard in the con-

Cries of "Hurrah for Mckinley aroused

RumOrs THAT the Southern Is likely
to Secure Control.

TO Secure Control.
Baltimore, Md, Oct. 2.-The sale OF the
Seaboard Air Line system to the South
ern Railway Company was talked of on
the stock exchange to-day, and in quar-
ters usually well Informed, It is believed
that the former property may pass into
the hands Of the latter company. 1t Is
alleged that proposals to buy controll-
ing interest In the stock of the Seaboard
Air Line have been recently made, and
1t is believed that the proposition is made
in behalf of the Southern Railway Com
pany, which is known to be anxious to
secure control of the Seaboard, which is
the only drawback to its ambition to
make itself master Of the southeastern
railroad situation.
1t was also said that in the event a
deal Is not consummated, the Seaboard
Air Line, which is now bottled up at At
lanta will build line to New Orleans
The name of the Sea.board does not ap-
pear in connection with the proposed line
but II is said that 1t will be operated
as a part OF the Seaboard system, or in
close connection with 1t. The new line
would be 1863 miles shorter than any road
now operated between those points.

efforts to lower the scaffold, when there
was terrific clap of thunder and a
binding flash of lightning left the
clouds, struck the spire, knocking away

mains of the painters were brought

7 HEY WANT RECIPROCITY
COMMITTEE RECEIVES MANY RE,
QUESTS FOR RE-ENA LTMENT.
Important Letter From President
Search Of the National Assoc
citation nf IFnrmers.

Washington, March 22.-Letters from
persons interested i'll the re-enactnent
of reciprocity laws continue to be re-
ceiVed by the subcommittee of the
ways and means committee on recio-
rocity and commercial treaties.
A communication from the National
Association Of Farmers signed by it's
president, T. G. Search of Philadelphia
is considered by the committee one of
the most important that has yet come
to hand. Speaking for the interests rep
resented by the association, Mr.. Search
says he desires to present arguments
bearing upon the advantages Of recip-
focity as a general principle in inter-
national trade.
My view of this NATTER he says, sis
taken from a purely business stand
point, without regard to any political
considerations, for there is probably
no feature OF our tariff system, past or
present, that comes SO near as recip-
rocity to being a purely business mat
ter. To this fact may be attributed the
enthusiastic support which the princi-
pies OF reciprocity have received from
men Of widely differing political views. ,
He refers to what he regards were
the benefits derived from the act of
1890, and says that it requires but a
glance at the conditions under which
the treaties Of commercial reciprocity
were negotiated to reveal how much
was gained by this country, and how
little was given in return. ....
1T is in our dealings with Cuba, -
says President Search, that the ben
e1its of reciprocity have been most
strikingly shown. Sugar, which formed
thn 1.,pr
Cuba, was placed upon the free list
conditionally upon the reasonable treat
ment of American products in those
countries from which sugar was I'M
ported into the United States. Under
normal trade conditions Cuba would
have looked to the United States for he:
supply of breadstutfs, etc, but in order
to control the trade of her West India
colonies, Spain imposed a duty of near
ly $3.50 per barrel upon American flour.
Under the reciprocity tree " which Sec
retary Blaine negotiated with Spain,
the duty on flour was reduced to 81 per
220 pounds, and large reductions We're
made in the duties on other bread
stuffs. The duties on is leading COM
mOditieS were reduced one-half and
about 40 items were added to the free
list
Under three years Of reciprocity, it
is stated, our trade with Cuba reached
the highest point ever touched, show
ing an increase of $8,0000O0 in exports
and $l4.000,00O in imports. Upon the
passage of the customs law OF 1894,
which compelled the abrogation of this
treaty, Spain Immediately retaliated
by increasing the duty on flour to S4.7
per 220 pounds, which caused great
falling off in our exports of that ar
ticle
In behalf OF the enormous Industrial
interests represented by this associa-
tion," the letter concludes, II desire to
urge with all possible emphasis the ne
cessity for such treaty rela tions with
foreign nations as shall insure the most
possible favor to American products in
the market of the worId.''
