1t has been stated on good medical authority that
nine tenths OF cases Of deafness are caused from
catarrh or from sore throat trouble.

the throat. When disease of any sort attacks the
Mucous membrane Of the throat 1t is very liable to
extend into the Eustachian tube and up into tie

The history Of nearly all cases OF deafness Is like
this: cold Is contracted and neglected. other
colds taken; the throat becomes and IN

and germs from the air. This condition causes the
disease to spread into the tube that leads to ;he
1t a little far-fetched to say that most
of deafness caused from catarrh but 1t Is
certainly true. and any who has had severe
catarrhal cold must have noticed how the hearing

With catarrh sufferers this impairment of hearing
becomes chronic and grows worse the longer the
catarrh Is neglected.
You can cure catarrh and deafness by the regular
use Of excellent new preparation called Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, composed of antiseptic remedies
which act both on the mucous membranes but prfn

Reciprocity Convention Adjourns
Without Taking Decisive Action.
COMPROMISE RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Strong Declaration for Government
su8gs
Department. Of Commerce.
CONTEST IN COM MITE e

With the adoption of series of resolu-
tons, so broad in their phraseology as not
to oppose any ones opinion and sufficiently
emphatic in favor of a department of COM
merce and industries to give them a show
of character, the delegates to the reciprocity
convention yesterday succeeded in settling
their acute and apparently insurmountable
differences. The reading Of the resolutions
during the afternoon session was attended
with the most tense interest and followed
by manifestations Of enthusiasm. They were
nnaily adopted with but two dissenting
votes. the opposition coming entirely from
the American Free Trade League. When
the convention had thus agreed on the form
of Its manifesto to the country and a ses-
sor, had been held out of Difference to its
members particularly interested in Cana
dian trade, 1T adjourned sine die-twenty-
four hours earlier than anticipated by its
committee of arrangements.
To the declaration in favor of the depart
nent of commerce and Industries there was
apparently no opposition. Many of the pa
pers read on the correlated subject Of reci-
prccity, and at least half the resolutions
offered to the committee on resolutions. had
referred favorably to the proposed new ex-
ecUtive department 1t was early made
manifest that on this subject though not
1nseparably associated with their cause, the
reciprocity delegates desired to take formal
and earnest action. Accordingly a decisive
resolution was adopted without dissent, set
ting forth that 1.-The present and increasing
magnitude of the aggregate manufacturing
and commercial interests of the United
states have become far too great to be adj
equately handled by and of the existing
government departments" and that as
changing phases of these great interests
are constantly bringing new and important
questions, the proper determination of which
would require all the work of department
fully organized and equipped; therefore,
This convention recommends to and re-
quests of Congress that a new department
be created, to be called The Department of
Commerce and Industries the head of
which shall be a member of the Presidents
cabinet; that reciprocity commission be
created as bureau of this new DEPART
ment' Il

Need for Compromise.

But the story of the declaration for reci-
precity is not simple The adoption of
any resolutions without the most bitter
fight in open convention is due, it is said
only to the adroitness and superior judg-
ment of the committee from which the
resolutions were reported. AS indicated in
yesterdays Star the report of this COM
nittee was awaited 2alt of yesterday morn
ing with apprehension. 1t was known the
textile workers and the jewelry makers
would not consent to any declaration which
even inferentially contemplated the reduc-
ton Of the tariff to the buyers in any for
eign country. On the other hand, stodd the
makers Of agricultural implements, the
carriage builders and the other extensive
exporting operators, determined to prevent
if they could any declaration adverse to
the Kasson reciprocity treaties. The vote
of the convention when finally taken was
accepted by each wing as one-third con-
cession and two-thirdS, victory.
How this was contrfved by the committee
will be made clear from the text Of the
resolutions. which was in terms declared
THE growth of manufactures in the
United States, represented in values and in
round numbers, has been as follows:
1850. 81 600 900 900 1880. 80. S.. 500 900 900
1860. .... 1000 900. 900 1890, -. 5000, 600 900
1870. 1000 O00, 600 1900. 5000. 900 900
''And whereas these figures exhibit at
the same time "a splendid result for the
past industrial policies of our government,
and (2) growing need for the develop
ment of larger markets in foreign coun-
tries; and as it would seem desirable not
only to maintain policies under which such
splendid results have been accomplished,
but also devise means to develop increased
markets for the increased and increasing
manufactured products: therefore, this
convention recommends to Congress the
maintenance of the principle of protection
for the home market and to open up by
reciprocity opportunities for increased for
eign trade by special modification of the
tariff in special cases, but only where 1t
can be done without injury to any of our
home interests of manufacturing, commerce
or farming
"2) That in order to ascertain the in
fiuence of any proposed treaty on our
home interests, this convention recommends
with the duty of investigating the condi-
ton of any industry and reporting the
same to the executive and to Congress for
guidance in negotiating reciprocal trade
agreements

Import of Resolutions.

In the eyes Of the delegates these resolu-
lions had the following import: That the
convention declared for such reciprocity as
did not involve the product of any factory
represented on the floor Of the convention;
that the convention did not declare against
the Kasson treaties; that the convention
was opposed to any reciprocity not COM
patible with the republican conception of
protective tariff.
Part second of the resolution was designed
as a confirmation of the appointment and
services of Mr.. Kasson by recommending
the continuation of his work along lines OF
investigation merely. 1t is understood that
the committee debated with some warmth
a proposition to insert the word serious
In the first resolution, so that the conven-
ton would have declared for reciprocity
where 1t could have been obtained without
serious injury to any of our home inter-
ests." But the determined front of Messrs.
Charles Heber Clark and Titus Sheard, as
they had spoken for the textile operators,
arose before the committeeman and the
word was omitted.
On many other subjects the convention
took action by directing the committee to
dispose of them at such future time as it
might deem wise. Among. the matters thus
referred were resolutions in favor of subsi-
dies for American shipping, declaration
in favor of an 1sthmlan canal. declara
and statement Of strong lppposition to the
Kasson treaty with France. The committee
on resolutions. it Is ,intinated. was hardly
expected to take any, action and the con-
vention adopted the course indicated as the
best means of suppressing- the several res
olutions without committing itself.
Two Notable Rapers.
The closing sessions included two earnest
addresses, one on each side of the question
In the afternoon Mr.. James Deering of the
plow manufacturing arm Of Deering Broth
ers spoke in reply to the earlier paper of
Mr.. Sheard Point by point he developed
the whole theory of reciprocity, then ex-
planned the embarrassment encountered by
the American trader In dealing with
France, for example, as the only importer
who paid the maximum French tariff, and
finally amplifed and applied President Nc
Kinley's Buffalo speech with manifest eff
feet on the delegate body.
The other address was. delivered by Rich
ard S, Young of New York In its tone it
was conciliatory. but its effect was that of
vigorous and explicit answer to Mr.. Deer
ing. Both men were heartily applauded.
The delivery of these speeches and the
adoption of the resolutions consumed the
time of afternoon meeting.

D. B. Hill ON LAWS AGAINST ANARCHISTS
HE GIVES THE REASONS WHY
THE PROPOSED LAW OF 1894 FAILED

OF PASSAGE

In 'Leslie's Weekly of October Il David B. Hill
gives his of the which in 1894 prevent
the passage of the bill against anarchists which
was adopted at that time by the Senate. but failed
in conference between the two houses He says:
The word anarchist means person who is oD-
posed to government whatsoever. II was urged
in the debate in Congress that the measure was too
drastic. AS 1t was aimed against persons who
justify murder, assassination. riot and bloodshed.
its provisions must necessarily be drastic in order
be effectual The Senate bill proposed to prevent
believers in anarchy from hereafter coming here.
and 10 remove those who had already been un-
wisely admitted. The bill was aimed only against
alien anarchists. and the right OF this government
determine for itself what aliens may enter our
shores and what aliens may remain here is beyond
question.
The proposed legislation in 1894 In the right
direction The truth is that those who saw
dangers in the future and sought to prevent them
not cordially seconded in their efforts by an
aroused public sentiment. and this is not TO be
wondered at-because while anarchy had on sew
eral occasions raised its bloody hands in the crea
ton of public disturbances Ii had never yet struck
any high official OF the government The efforts
OF 1894 should have been renewed in subsequent
congresses but IT instead thereof public at
tention unwisely diverted from the immediate
necessity of ananarchistic legislation to the con-
sideraton of the propriety Of providing an educa-
tional test the admission of certain classes or
immigrants and consequently the subject Of the
clusion removal of anarchists from the country
sidetracked.
