Will Clear Tariff Situation.
There is no question in my mind
but that reciprocity is going to clear
I'D the tariff situa tion," said Manager
A, H. Lance of the Simmons Manu-
featuring company. "President Nc
Kinley's position was clearly outlined
in his speech at Buffalo, and, sound
tariff expounder that he was, the ma
ton could not afford to pass by his
words without needing them. Presi-
dent Mckinley voiced what has been
the conviction Of many a manufacture
er for a long time Since the days of
Blaine there has been but little agita-
ton about reciprocity, although sever
al reciprocal treaties have been consul
mated with different countries. Now,
however, do not believe congress will
ignore what is clearly, to my mind,
the sentiment of the people, and what
is of the greatest weight in consider
ing the matter, the last words of VIM.
Mckinley.
'The people of the west demand rec
iprocity. High and low tariff advo-
Gates have come to recognize in its
principles the salvation of the trade Of
the country, and politics no longer
enter into the question. Why this
should be so is obvious-in the words
of Mckinley if we wish to sell, we
must buy. If we wish to reap benefits
we must bestow them. We can not
always sell and import nothing, and
the careful adjustment Of what we
have to sell with regard to what we
can import is d complex subject that
nothing but reciprocal treaties with
different nations will bring about sue
Cessfu11y.
Retaliatory Tariffs Are Disastrous,
"It is high time the7 Republican par
ty gave consideration to the question
of reciprocity" said Manager Frank
S1osson of the Balm Wagon Works.
Reciprocity can, and will, open wide
the markets of the world to our manu-
facturers, and we are not afraid to en-
ter them. At the present time we are
barred out of a good many markets by
tariffs, mainly reta1iatory, which,
whether they are or not, could be re-
moved or rendered less prohibitory
through the medium of reciprocity.
1--WE sell wagons in Canada now,
but the field would be an unrivaled
one were the present duties removed OF
1essened. We are charged a fiat duty
of $40 per wagon on every American
made vehicle that passes the borders
of Canada. This is simply and plain
Iva prohibitory duty, a reta1iatory
tariff, and it is disastrous. We do no
need protection, for our wagons will
compare favorab1y with any that car
be produced anywhere. What W.
want is reciprocity from the govern
ment-and leave the rest to u.s."
''Our trade with the South American
countries is only small part of wha
it should be-" said Manager E. c
Theirs, of the N. R. Aliens Sons tan
neries, ''and in the absence of Mr.. Al
len 1 can say that this firm believe
there is a remedy-reciprocity."
Reciprocity-But Not Free Trade.
Reciprocity, but not free trade,
said General Manager w. w. Coope
Of the Chicago Rockford Hosiery com
PAM. ct say this in the face of tn
fact that the hosiery and knitting in
terests of this country, have certain
amount OF protection, because of tn
low wage rates that are in vogue il
