DANIEL WEBSTER ON RECIPROCITY
Speech in Congress April ?, 1924.


Commerce is not a gambling among nations
for stake, to be won by some and lost by
others 1t has not the tendency necessarily to
impoverish one of the parties TO it, while it
enriches the other; all parties gain, all parties
make profits, all parties grow rich by the ope-
ration of just and liberal commerce. II the
world had but one cline and but one soil, if all
men had the same wants and the same means.
on the spot of their existence, to crafty their
wants, then, indeed, what one obtained from
the.sther by exchange would injure one party
in the same degree that it benefited the other !;
then, indeed, there would be some foundation
for the balance of trade. But Providence has
disposed our lot much more kindly. We in
habit various earth. We have reciprocal
wants and reciprocal means of gratifying one
another's wants. This is the true origin of
commerce, which is nothing more than an ex-
change of equivalents, and, from the rude bar
ter OF its primitive state to the refined and
complex condition in which we see it, its prin-
ciple is uniformly the same, its only object
being In ever stage to produce that exchange
OF commodities between individuals and be-
tween nations which shall conduce to the ad-
vantage and happiness of both.

BRYAN's LACK OF SINCERITY.
Chicago Inter ocean.


Mr.. Bryan is In no small danger of FORGETTING
public respect by kind of intellectual Jug
gery when he makes speech. He should
know that above all things the American peo-
pie demand in their President man of sim
certify, one who is not afraid of the shadow
cast by his political opinion. Even Buchanan
and Cleveland never forfeited public conf
dence in their sincerity. Mr.. Bryan has hardly
made speech that he did not practice kind
of jugglery. He will have to stop that OF the
gourd which sprang up suddenly in the
Chicago convention will wither and die be-
fore even the frost of November nips it,
The latest instance in point was Saturday at
Madam. That is little village in Dutchess
County, New York, on the east side of the
Hudson RIVER region long q stronghold OF
Democracy, owing largely to the influence OF
Martin Van Buren,. Mr.. Bryan delivered
forty-rninute speech in the village square TO
an audience presumably drawn from "among
the farmers round" He began by abiding to
the Chicago platform, and then quoted in full
one plank, making that his text. The natural
inference would be that the quoted plank pre-
sents the main issue between the parties, GER
tainly one OF the issues. Here is the citation
made:
We are opposed TO the issuing Of interest bearing
bonds OF the united States in time of p ace, and
condemn that trafficking with banking sy indicates
which IN exchange for bonds and enormous
profit to themselves, supply he Federal treasury
with gold TO maintain the policy of gold none
metallism.
The Republican party has never issued
single Government bond in time of peace ex-
cept only to replace bonds bearing higher
rate OF interest with one bearing lower rate,
and the banking syndicate referred to was
formed under and dealt with by Democratic
administration. Some months ago Congress
compelled the administration 10 abandon its
Dank syndicate policy and throw the new
bonds upon the general market, thereby
saving millions of dollars, but that was done
under the lead of a Republican and not
Democrat or Populist
MI. Bryan may or may not have gulIed that
immediate audience. 1t does not matter much

perfectly we'll that it is a tricky evasion of the

THE NEED OF PROTECTION.

We Tenew and emphasize our allegiance
to the policy of protection as the bulpark of
american industrial Independence and the
foundation of american Development and
prosperity. We deaounce the present Demo-
cratac tariff as sectional, injurious to the pub
ic credit and destructive to business enterprise
We demand such equitable tariff on foreign
imports a0hich come into competition acith
american products as aOiU not only furnish
adequate reUeaaue for the necessary expenses
of the Government, but sUiU protect american
labor from degradation to the apage levet of
other LGUdS.
The money question is an important is
sue in this campaign, but the facts show,
as Major Mckinley says, that what is
most to be desired now is to have our in
dustries opened to labor, not only for
laoor's sake, but to protect the country
from bankruptcy. The Government must
have revenue to pay expenses, and wage
earners must have work, but the Govern
ment cannot have revenue nor can the
wage-earner have work so long as the
Wilson-Gorman tariff act is in operation.
During the first twenty-five months of
the Mckinley law our foreign trade bal
only $3.50, 600 900 under the Wilson German
act for the same number of months. That
is to say, we lost 500, 600, 600 by substituting
protection for free trade in twenty-five
months.
The total receipts of the United States
treasury IN the same months was $780,
100000 under the Mckinley act and $685.
GOO, 900 under the Wilson-Gorman act dur
ing the same number of months.
The total treasury deficiency from July
l, 1893, to July, 1896, was $14S, 000 900. Thus
we have a treasury loss of $148.000, 900 and
foreign trade loss of $95 600, 900, making
grand total of $243, 600, 900. During this
period foreign syndicates took from US
S95 100000 of gold.
For the fiscal year ending in 1898 our
customs amounted 10 5000, 600, for the
year ending 1896 they amounted to $780,
100000. The yearly average decrease of
revenues under the Wilson German act,
as compared with the Mckinley act, have
been $35, 900, 900. Had the Mckinley act
been in operation during 1895 and 1896 the
customs revenue would have averaged
1892 000,0 600 a year as against $155, 0O0 900
under the Wilson German act.
AS will be seen these figures represent
the Government loss only. The direct loss
to the people in dollars has been very
much greater, to say nothing about the
misery and distress of the hundreds of
thousands OF bread-winners who have
lived all these years in enforced idleness.

been able to Zee SO well that they have been
credited with microscopic eyes. My own eyes

halo, being part of the human aura.
with the revelations of the Roentgen ray
and other discoveries which are constantly
being made the horizon of scientific study is
daily growing and the human mind is en-
abled to penetrate into mysterious regions
the domain of the great Unknown-which
were undreamed of only few years ago. BUTT
is a rathe remarkable fact that the new line Of
study, called theosophy, is constantly fore
stalling scientific discoveries, SO that science
seems to come in only of ate as corrobora-
ton of theoso9hical tenets.
"Occultism has for centuries stated that
everything in nature. from the mineral up to
man, is surrounded by sort OF special ema-
nation or fiuidic cloud called aura, which con-
stitutes kind of limi ted atmosphere around
every being in the same way as every star and
planet is surrounded by its own special atmos-
phere.
"But just as the Roentgen ray is invisible
to ordinary vision, though it is powerfully ac-
tive, SO the human aura is also invisible to Or
binary sight, yet persons gifted with abnorm al
powers, called psychics or clairvoyants, readliy
discern it with more or less deftness and are
able to describe the interesting minuteness Of
it's division and its brilliant colors.
ssThis aura was described by Paracelsus 300
years ago and was studied some fifty years
back by the celebrated Baron Reichenbach.
Materialistic scientists, however, who are not
very well developed in elairvoyant vision,
stubbornly refused to admit Its existence until
at last 1t was corroborated by photography"
Two French scientists Dr.. Baradue and DR..
Lebon, have just published books and photo
graphs on the human aura which fully con-
firm the teachings of occultism in the matter
and their discoveries are going TO open new
field for the scientific study of the aura. In
the meanwhile, this subject had for years been
studied by members of the Theosophical So
ciety, producing some interesting articles pub
lished in the theosophical literature. But in
dependently OF all this, however, DR.. Marques
has made very special and thorough study of
the subject and he has had the good fortune of
obtaining the help of some very scientific
seers, gifted with clairvoyant sight in their
normal state, without trance or hypnotic in
fuence.
Thus, the result of his observations covers
some new discoveries and interesting facts
never before elucidated, so that his lecture
will prove of cons iderable scientific interest.
One of these facts is the action of the human
aura in connection with the disease germs
that float in the atmosphere, and with the pos
sibilities of contagion without direct, bodily
contact, certain ailments being transmittable
through the aura, which extends to nearly
two feet around the physical body.

Sons building. Mason street. DR.. Marques is
