M'KINLEY AND RECIPROCITY.

President McKinley's ideas of recipro-
city were very much broader than the
treaties now pending in the senate, which
were negotiated by John A. Kasson. un-
der his direction. Mr.. Kasson was re-
stricted in his negotiations by section I
of the Dinsey tariff law. which permit
ted him to make concessions on very rev
articles of insignificant character, and not
more than 20 per cent. reduction from
the regular duties upon them. 1t Is a
wonder that he was able to secure any
concessions from foreign nations at all,
but he showed great skill and shrewdness.
and succeeded In concluding a set or ar
rangements which. If they are ever rati-
fed, will be of considerable value to the
export trade. Speaker Reed, Mr.. Ding
ley. Mr.. Dalzell, Mr.. Payne, Mr. Hopkins
Mr.. Tawney and other members or the
house who were engaged In framing the
Dingley bill did not intend that the re-
ciprocity section should be successful.
They knew. or they expected, II wouid

their own judgment. being compelled py

the platform of the Republican hatiohal
convention. They are all high protec-
tionists, and are opposed to reciprocity,
on principle. They will fight and defeat
that and every other proposition that
points to the reduction of the present
high tariff duties.
President Mckinley. who was far
sighted man and just as good pro-
tectionist as those / have named, saw
that there must be a reduction of duties
sooner or later; that the high protection
that had been extended over the me-
chanical industries was no longer needed.
and was temptation to manufacturers
to keep prices up higher than necessary,
because they could not suffer from com
petition. In reducing duties, he did not
intend to remove protection, but to leave
as much as necessary and use the re-
duction as an inducement TO foreign ma
tions to make similar reduction in their
tariffs upon goods imported from the
United States. He believed that this Of
fered an opportunity 10 secure important
concessions I'm the interest of our foreign
trade, and If he had lived he would have
urged congress TO authorize him TO open
ne gotiations to that end.
He also felt that we had right to ask
concessions In favor of our merchandise
frcm nations whose staple products were
coming and for years have been coming
free of duty into the United States, such
as coffee. tea, silk, hides, rubber and
other raw materials which we do not pro-

thought that was unfair and wanted au-
thorty from congress to tell Brazil that
such one-sided trade could not be toler-

her tariff upon our -four and other pro-
duets, or we would place duty upon her

O'Clock the other morning he arrived in

and 20 minutes. The record is even
better than il looks. for he had the
extra handicap of a young lady guest.
This is believed TO surpass anything
ever before accomplished in this coun-
try. Mr.. Bredel and his guest vent TO
Waukesha in the conventional style of
auto riders. They tried to come back
in the same way. but the gasoline gave
out. They were stranded on a steep
hiA in a farming country at ten o'clock
at night. There was no help to be
found. and Mr.. Bredel could not get
any gasoline for love or money. The
young woman had to get home, so Mr..
Bredel put his shoulders to the wheels
and started his slow journey to town
and gasoline. Farmers refused to lend
him horses. and the first place to give
him gasoline was an all-night drug
store in the center of the city.
