to tackle him. We will wager heavy

President McKinleys Buffalo speech
amazed even those near to him who
knew his previous. tariff policy.
They were startled at the sud
den evolution from high or prohibit
tory protection to reciprocity, or lin
tied free trade This utterance ac-
cording to a well informed Washing
ton correspondent was really consider
ed gage of battle to the Senators who
had already resisted his efforts to have
ratified reciprocity treaties with
France, Argentina and the British
West Indian colonies.
Those treaties had been smothered
in the Senate by combination OF
groups of Senators. The New Eng
land group objected to the alleged die
elimination against knit goods, cheap
jewelry and cutlery. 1t made no diff
ference ia them that all articles pro-
duced in the United States. with 10 ex-
ceptions, were to be admitted to
France almost duty free. Similarly
the glass reductions affected the Sen
ators from Pennsylvania. Led by
Senator Hanna and Foraker, of Ohio
formidable opposition arose to the
Argentina treaty, because it would
bring that eountrys wool and hides
into collision with the wool and hides
of Ohio and several other States.
community of interest known as log
rolling was established and the
treaties defeated.
Having stated his deliberate judge
ment President Mckinley was prepared
to press the reciprocity idea with all
his power in the Fifty-seventh Con
sress. Now that he is dead the Sen2-
tors who feel that the interests or
their constituents are threatened will
make stronger opposition than thej
would have made had he lived. Prcsi-
dent Roosevelt and the cabinet have
heard from many quarters of the
struggle that is to be forced upon
them in carrying out this portion of
Mr. McKinley's policy.
The Washington correspondent quot
ed says:
Senators have been to the President
from many States asking him to do moth
ing about these treaties. Some of then
have gone so far as to say that he should
have no policy that they don't want him
to adopt In other words. it Is said that
they want him to place the interests of
the country In the hands Of the Senate
and have no policy that they have not
approved.
ut is clearly evident that the Senators
desire to avoid a struggle if they can do
so by having reciprocity sidetracked, so
to speak He will be bold Senator who.
w.thoue first seeking 10 avoid 1t, will rush
into antagonism to the sound and sober
Judgment of William Mckinley, who was
recognized as the leading tariff expert in
the United States. No Senator whose re,
election is coming at an early day is like
ly TO join in breaking down President
Roosevelt in his efforts to carry out UNI
broken the policy of Mckinley
On the other hand all the wealth aud
power of the trusts will be brought TO
bear to defeat reciprocity or any other
alteration of the tariff nor-trusts-o only.
Tt will be a unique fight-all within the
ranks of the grand cid party, which it
must be remembered, for a generation
has drawn its sinews of war from the
fat pocketbooks Of the trusts.

recognizing it. "If political plotters or
private fanatics have really determined

ReclprocIty--Lower War Duties

IMMENSE SURPLUS--TRADE,

Washington, Nov. 10, There are four
CLASSES Of statesmen now thinking moro
or less along tariff lines, They include;
First-Thosc who seek the rptifca-
tion Of reciprocity treaties now pending
In the scnatei and making new treaties.
sccond--Thosc who would lower or
do away altogether with the internal
revenue duties resulting from the war
tariff.
Thlrd-Thosc who would puncturc
holes here and there, as II were, in the
protective systemi take duties off steel
products, hides and other articles.
Fourth--Thosc opposed at this time
to any sort Of tariff revision, OF this
class there are two kinds Those who
believe n tariff agitation and revision
unwisc or disastrous at any timei and
those who nrc jealous advocates, from
selfish or other motives, OF u protective
system, and therefore desire things to
remain MS they arc.
Something will probably be done.
The demand for action Is great, Tho
immense surplus and the commercial
spirit will probably not be ignored,
This agitation comes from two rcas'
ons;
Flrst--The great surplus now in the
treasury OF the United States.
Second-Thc desire TO enter foreign
markets with the products Of the coun'
try
The surplus OF the United States has
passed about the highest point in his
tory. The balance of trado being in
favor Of the country-that Is, the Uni
ted States exporting moro than 1t i'm
ports--the lessening Of war expcndi
tures and the incoming receipts from
the war revenue law makes this pos
sible. It is thought that the war rev
enue could be curtNiled some so million
annually, and still leave comfortable
and efficient margin on which to go,
The inroads manufacturers Of the
United States have made into foreign
countries has 80 aroused the CONNER.

Washington, Nov ls.--It was Gn-
nounccd at tho war department that

eral will not be announced until con-
gress meets, as II Is not deemed

and In view OF the great pressure that
has been brought TO bear, II has been
deemed proper 10 mako an official
declaration.
The president has not hcsitatcd to
inform senators and others who have
applied TO him that no officer will Inn
prove his chances by sending his friends
to annoy the president In his behalf
On the contrary, the effect which will
be produced probably will be directly

comes for
Tho sense and Judgment Of public

sion as that arrived at by the president
and secretary Of war; that IL, II sys-
tom OF records DO thoroughly estab-
lished at the war department, showing
progressive work OF officers from year
TO year, II viii be far better for tho
officers and mon, MS we'll as public
officials, that such register be made
the guide for selections, details, etc,
rather than influence, The appeal OF
individuals TO their congressman for
their personal assistance in the matters
above enumerated necessitates public
men giving up n great deal OF their
time In locating the proper office at
which 10 apply for information and the
fling Of appeals,
1t is fully recognized by public Off
cials that the proper men in the first
instance to establish the character Of an
applicant for office arc the senators and
representatives from their own home,
and 1t is eminently just and proper
that their influence should be respect
cd, and they should be responsible for
the character of the persons recon-
mended for office; but, once in the
public service, II is only fair TO the ad-
minirration that not only army Off
