effect that a corner in Union Pacific is
the next market development likely. No
foundation for this story is to be found
except the wildness of the street imagina-

there is bad blood between the big people
that might lead to almost anything.

at $65, coo, although at one time
he was known to have considsra-
bly, over 81 900, 900 in various
companies. In 1878 he took out
q policy of S., 600 in the Michigan
Mutual Lifeof Detroit, which was
increased about ten years ago by
an additional $4,000. For a
number of years he carried a
policy Of IS, 900 in the Counectl-
cut Mutual Life, and shortly after
his nomination to the Presidency
he took out policy Of $5O,OOO
in the New York Life. This was
afterward increased by an addi-
tisnal $50, 900, but it is the pre-
vailing impression that this latter
policy was allowed to lapse.

REAL TARIFF REFORM.

II now appears there are two kinds
of reciprocity the James @. Blaine
brand of 1912, which was forced by
him on the Mckinley tarlfr bill after
his historic and exciting personal In
terview with the Republican members
OF the ways and means committee. The
other kind Is the new brand, samplea
Of which are seen In the reciprocity
treaties now before the United States
senate The new KOsson brand is vio'
lently opposed by the Protective Tarin
League, and In the matter II Is fur
nishing to the Republican newspapers
II said
very many Of the reductions strike
directly at some established and i'm
portant industry, The textile manu-
facturers and the Jewelry manufacture
ers Of Massachusetts, have opposed
with especial earnestness the ratifca
tion of this (the French) treaty by
the senate" It then goes on and saya
that the free trade newspapers ara
favorlng this French reciprocity" In
reading these fulmlnations OF the
league one has to make allowances fol
Its misstatements, such as calling the
tariff-reform newspapers free-tradG
and 80 forth, for the league is in dirS
distress Just about now. It's scientific
tariff Is under fire not only by the ever
wicked Democrats, but by those of Its
own household, Even President Nc
Kinley in his speech at Buffalo said
that reciprocity treaties are in har'
mony with the spirit Of the times
measures Of retaliation are not" But
let these tariff doctors fight out who Ia
best capable of making diagnosis o.
the disorder that is troubling the over
protected patient and inquire II either
OF them are likely to strike at the root
OF the disease 1t Is not the question
Of five or ten per cent reduction Of
Inc tariff on few articles, as tho
French treaty provides, even allowing
that the constitution will allow reve'
nue to be lowered or raised by the ac.
ton of the executive and the senate
but shall the protection given thu
trusts in the present tariff be taken
off or continued. The French reel
procity treaty, nor any of the eight
others now awaiting ratification, does
not touch the monopoly granted the
trusts and this is the main question
of the tariff reform that the people
want settled. The reduction Of thS
tariff to a revenue basis will follow
when the present extravagant and
wasteful Republican party is replaced
by one pledged to an honest admins
tration who will be free from lavish,
ness or waste.
