Ambassador Cambon, the French ambas-
sador. In view Of the favorable action of
Congress upon the Joint resolution looking
to the proper dedication of the Rocham-

WEST AGAINST EAST

THE PLAN FOR CUBA
FRENCH TREATY STRONGLY FA-
VoRED IN THE WEST.
The East Does Not Look So Kindly on
the Plan - Agricultural Imple-
ments Versus Beet Sugar.

The opponents Of the Cuban reciprocity
bill will meet before the close of the week
to adopt program Of action when the bill
is called up in the House. They have not
given up the fight against the bill, but are
not quite decided how to make the fight
effective.
The contest from now on threatens 20
be on sectional lines, the western republa-
cans against their eastern brethren. The
eastern men are accused of opposing the
French reciprocity treaty, which the west
desires, and in advocating the Cuban reel
procity treaty are accused of alta ackinS q
western industry.
1t Is said that the French reciprocity
treaty will stimulate trade in the west,
furnishing market for agricultural prod
ucts and for manufactures, especially man
ufactures of agricultural implements, which
is great industry in the west. An Amer
lean mower pays $3.50 more duty in France
than an English mower, and an American
reaper pays s. more than the English ma
chine The French reciprocity treaty, Ii
is claimed, will equalize the dlscFimIna-
'tion. But the French treaty affects the
duty on cotton goods silks noTeitics. etc.,
made in New England and other eastern
states and is consequently opposed by the
representatives of those states.
