AND SUGAR.

Congressman Longs speech at OF
tawa today on RECIPROCITY with Cuba
is a severe. yet nameless, arraignment
Of Senator Burton in his course OF op-
position to President Roosevelts urgent
recommendation to congress on the
subject, of disobedience to the instruc-
tions from the Republicans OF kansas
at their Wichita convention for the
latter rejected the reciprocity plank as
Burton wrote it and adopted it to read
I'VE endorse the recommendation IF
President Roosevelt"
The speech is long, but should be read
by all who desire to understand just
what Cuban Reciprocity meant to
Blaine and Mckinley and means to
Roosevelt. Burton's definition of 1T
leaves out sugar-the others include 1t.
In plain words there can be no such
thing as "Cuban Reciprocity" without
a reduction of duty on Cuba's great
product, sugar.
The tenor of Senator Burton's col
umns upon columns of explanation
about his position is reciprocity with
Cuba, without touching sugar"-a
moral and political impossibility. Mr..
Burton ought to realize it, know it and
QulI Trying 10 SQQdT6 tie CiIClc.
His explanations all amount to moth
ing, because there can no more be Gu
ban reciprocity, without cutting the
tariff on sugar, than there can be a
production of Hamlet with the great
Dane omitted from the cast.
The course of Senator Burton and Of
the other eighteen senatorial insurgents
has been one of disappointment to the
president and the friends of Cuba: It
has resulted in deferred hopes and a
new nation heart-sick."
Burtop's fear and assertion. express
ed even yesterday, that the sugar trust
will be benefited if the presidents urgent
requests about Cuba are followed, are
chiIdlike and bland. His implication that
the president is working in the interest
Of the sugar trust, is egotistical, dust
throwing effrontery.
When will our Senator Burton come
into line with his country? He is moi
only out with his party and the admin
istration, but with the United States
We went to war to aid Cuba. all par
ties wanted faith kept with the island
that we might stand as an honest ma
tion before the world. Through the ac-
ton of the Kansas senator. we are
meaner in a commercial sense to the
new republic than we were when Cuba
was Spanish colony.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.

Here are some of the salient points
made by Congressman Long today:
1.-THE war. with Spain begun to free
Cuba has resulted in greater benefit
to Porto Rico and the Philippine Is
lands than to Cuba. Porto Rico has alb
solute free trade. The Philippines have
free trade in their principal product.
Hawaii has free trade. Cuba is In
condition similar that which existed
under the rule of Spain. We have thus
far refused to make any concessions to
her productions.
"Cuba's prosperity depends upon her
ability to sell her sugar at profit. We
had reciprocity with Cuba under the
Mckinley law while Cuba was colony
Of Spain.
THE Cuban reciprocity measure was
passed by the house. President Roose-
velt sent a special message to congress
Nineteen Republican senators stated
that they would not vote for the bill.
Thirty-six Republican senators favored
the bill. The doctrine that the majority
should rule was disregarded Reciproc-
ity with Cuba will be accomplished by
a bill or treaty unless those who forced
a postponen1ent shall persist in their
course.
IF we confine reciprocity to articles
not produced in this country we aban-
don the doctrine for we can produce
practically everything in the United
States.
"Reciprocity under the Mckinley law
represented the ideas Of Blaine and Nc
Kin1ey. Those reciprocity agreements
included sugar, hides and other articles
that we are producing in this country
and have been producing ever since.
General Grosvenor in the house of
representatives in April, 1902, said:
Both the great leaders, Blaine and Nc
Kinley, favored the use of sugar as a
basis of reciprocity negotiations. Sugar
was then an infant industry. and yet
these two great champions of produc-
ton favored reciprocity on this article.
There has never been an attempt to
establish reciprocity trade with any
great sugar raising country that did
not involve sugar as one of the articles
to be affected
1.-THE Dingley law included sugar as
one of the articles on which the presi-
dent could grant reductions to the ex-
tent of twenty per cent in making re-
ciprocity agreement.
s.If the Blaine idea of reciprocity in.
cluded only articles that we do not and
can not produce in this country, Blaine
never knew it; neither did President
Mckinley Blaine never advocated
ed such reciprocity. President Roose-
welt faithfully follows these two great
leaders in his Interpretation Of the true
policy.
must lower the duties on Cuban pro-
duets and Cuba must admit our pro-
ducts at lower rates than she charges
other countries. When we had rect
procity with Hawaii we admitted the
sugar of her islands in return for GER
tain concessions there.
Recent Republican state conventions
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and Mime
sofa have specifically endorsed reel
procity with Cuba as recommended by
President Roosevelt.
1.-The nineteen senators who defeated
reciprocity with Cuba at the last ses-
sion of congress all claimed that they
were true friends of President Roose-
| welt, and enthusiastic and loyal sup

who supports the policies of his admin

President Roosevelt in 1904, will helr

ton.
1t was to be expected that sooner OF
later his political opponents would en-

the same political faith as President
Roosevelt should accuse him of urging
congress to enact legislation in the in

This charge was first made early ir

Washington Post; Mr.. Cleveland
served two terms in the White House
without being able to demonstrate abil-
ity to build up and strengthen his party.
Mr.. Bryan had the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination two successive times
and was not even able to secure an cleo
tion to the high office. These two gen.
tlemen have monopoized twenty
years of the time of the Democratic
party, bringing nothing but chaos and
disaster. and it is not at all strange that
there should be a robust sentiment in
favor Of taking up a new man without
regard to their personal desires or ann
hitions.

The Washington Post in denying
charge of Democratic leanings" says:
TT is a newspaper that prints the
news and comments thereon without
the least regard for the feelings Of the
political parties. The Post neither leans
nor wabb1es, but goes straight ahead
and keeps it's headlight on before"
The honestly independent paper is u.s.
ually credited with leanings toward the
minority party, probably because the
party in power always affords more
ground for criticism by reason of being
the only one engaged in doing things.

CURBSTONE FIGHT OVER
Believed That the Tangle is
Strengthened Out.

Indications are that the curbstone
squabble on Clay and Polk streets will
be compromised, ana that John Ritchie
will not make any serious fight If the
city council decides to take away from
him the contract for furnishing 6,4S0
feet of Bedford, Ind, limestone curbing
and gives it to Kepley & Webster, the
Fort Scott blue sandstone contractors.
The contract is worth nearly $4,000.
Mr.. Ritchfe is in a very peculiar posi-
ton. 1t is claimed that he is where it
is to his advantage to 'be good" and
surrender the big contract for furnish
ing curbstones. Ritchie, 1t will be re-
membered, not only secured the curb
stone contract on Clay and Polk streets
but the pavement contract as well. Un-
der the ruling Of the city attorney, he
will have to either give up his curbstone
which will result In completely knock
ing out the pavement on the streets in
question. If this should be done, Ritchie
would not only lose his curbing con-
tract but his paving contract as well.
1t would be like cutting or his nose to
spite his face.
The city attorneys position is this:
The petition called for sandstone curb
ing Bedford stone, which Ritchie pro-
it should be used, the people living on
Clay and Polk streets could not be COM
PEELED to pay for 1t. On the other hand,
a chemical analysis shows that Fort
OC0lt StOuc Is HUI True SdtiuStOtfCs
though it contains some silica. The fact,
however, that Fort Scott stone is gem
orally accepted as sandstone, and is
called sandstone by contractors, makes
it answer the requirements of the petit
ton. The only safe thing for the city
to do is therefore to reconsider the ac-
tfon awarding the contract to John
Ritchie, and give it to Kepley & Web
ster.
There is not much left for the city
council to do but to act upon the ad-
vice of the city attorney and settle the
muddle in this way. The understand
ing is that Ritchie will not oppose the
plan very seriously. Mr.. Ritchie is not
in town today. His bid was 43 cents
on Bedford stone; KepIey & webster
bid As cents on Fort Scott stone.
Keplev a. Webster. Il ia said. are pre-
pairing to go before the city council at
its next meeting with a lot of certifi-
Gates from various cities which have
used Fort Scott sandstone curbing.
They will try to show the council that
Fort Scott stone is entirely satisfactory.
and that to all fntents and purposes it
is sandstone The council meeting win
be held Monday night. The question
will have to be finally settled at that
time in order to get the special assess
ment on the tax rolls.
It is understood that the brick manu-
featuring establishments have been US
ing their influence with Mr.. Ritchie to
get him to let the curbing part of his
contract go and cease 5eopardizing the
laying of the pavement It IL the fur
nfshing of brick that the brick plants
are interested in.

The candidacy of Tom johnson for the
Democratic nomination to the presi-
dency is now positively announced by
those who claim to know what they are
talking about. The alacrity with which
the situation appears to be accepted by
Colonel Bryan indicates that the Ne
braskan is in sympathy with the move
ment. IF Bryan desires Johnson's NOM
ination, there seems little doubt that he
can bring it about as matters now
stand, but there is always danger that
the early birding business may be over
done. For a case in point see David B.
