Washington. November 21.--The action Of
the reciprocity convention In adopting by
a practically unanimous vote resolution
declaring for reciprocity but against the
Injury of any American industry thereby
must be construed as a uefcat for the Kas-
son treaties so far as the influence Of this
body of manufacturers goes.
A considerable element present had In
sisted that the KasSnn treaties would great
ly injure special industries and the convcn-
ton in adopting resolutions agreeable 10
this element practically Sustained IT'S view
Another defeat for Kassons cause was
in the resolution for reciprocity commits
sion consisting OF several men TO become
part OF new department. Of commerce.
The remarks Of the chairman Of the con.
yention. which went with the resolution
were to the effect that the pending treaties
had been negotiated in tho dark and that
fuller light from divergent opinions would
attend the next move in this direction. The
fact that the convention expressed no con-
fdence in the Kasson treaties and made
no recommendation for their consideration
by the senate or anything of the kind still
further points the same way
To say the least the convention calls for
new deal OF Inc CAfuS ana lnle means lhS
closing of the Kasson chapter. But in thus
postponing reciprocity until a new bureau
of new department goes to- work, the con
yention really proposes different question
which it had met to consider but on which
1t had made no hesdway. IL is this: Upon
what articles are we to grant tnrin con
SESSIONS to foreign eountricseessuming that
no American Industry Il to be injured ano
! that to grant Concessions upon the thing'
which we do not praduce would he too in
effective for serious consideration. IL is
/ easy TO see that the discussion resolves
! itself into such terms as these, Mr. Search
the permanent chairman, opened the con
vention ny showing that reciprocity Of th'
] kind recommended by Colonel Albert Clarke
aud by the last republican NATIONAL pat
/ form as drawn by Senator Fairbanks wonlt
mean almost nothing. AS recently set forti
in this correspondence, the only way u
which 1t could be made to mean mucE
would he BY the abolition Of our free lis
and even then it's limitation would he very
