FOR NATIONAL RECIPROCITY.
League Formed With Gov. Stanley
of Kansas President.
A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

Chicago, April 14.-W. f. Stanley,
governor of the state of Kansas, was
elected president of the National
Reciprocity League. The object of the
organization, which is non-partisan, is
to wage campaign of education con-
| corning the urgent need of reciprocity
trade relations with foreign nations. "
| In Il word, these manufacturers say
they are manufacturing in eXcess ~
the consumption of the home market.
They want the United States govern
ment to establish trade relations with
| other countries that will throw open
| the markets of the world for the dis
posal of their goods. The United
| States senate will be asked to ratify at
least nine treaties that provide for
| reciprocal arrangements in the trade
| relations between the United States
and various countries of the eastern
hemisphere. Mr.. Hulctt of Topeka,
Kan, was chosen secretary of the new
| league and b. b. Swift of Chicago,
treasurer. A board of directors was
selected, among whose members are:
ii. f. Carver, Chicago, chairman; c. X.
Hoffman, Kansas; II. A. Heath, Tope-
ka, Kan; John A. Kasson, Des Moines,
Iowa, and S. r. Galloway, N. Y.
A national convention of the league
lo fnr hn INF,
probably at Chicago.
The resolutions adopted declare:
"The doctrine that there should be
MOD lication of the tariff which in
wolves any injury to any home industry
permits each industry to be sole judge
whether such modification will cause
injury, prevents all reform in existing
trade laws, however beneficial to the
people in general such reform would
be- and subordinates the interests of
the many to that of the few, in place
of the proposed liberal commercial re-
lations beneficial to the people of the
whole country.
1.-The reciprocal treaties negotiated
by Minister Kasson, under the direc-
ton and with the approval of President
Mckinley, should be promptly ratified
as beneficial to the interests of the
people of this country and further
treaties along the same lines ought to
be negotiated with the nations
'No matter what may be done with
reciprocity treaties with other coun-
tries liberal treaty should be
promptly negotiated with Cuba"

has been aroused here by the announce
ment that the American meat com
bination is stopping cattle shipments.

BANQUET TO THE PRESIDENT.
At Home Anywhere in the United
States.
SOUTH CAROLINA'S WELCOME

Charleston, s. c., April 10.-The
banquet rendered to President Roose-
welt at the Charleston Hotel, was a
fitting close 10 day full of incidents,
and served to gather together men
prominent in the affairs of the state,
having solely in mind a greeting to the
president which should prove the sin
certify and the warmth of feeling eX-
listing for him as the chief executive OF
the nation The banquet hall was a
bower of roses, pinks and smilaX,
artistically arranged, while loosely
strewn over the tables were thousands
of violets. Over 800 specially invited
guests were present.
Mayor Smythe welcomed Mr.. Roose-
welt to Charleston, and the presidents
response was listened to with the
closest attention and was interrupted
by loud and continued applause.
The president said:
"NIr. Mayor, and you, my hosts, and
my fellow American citizens: should
indeed be but poor American myself
if were not deeply touched and graft
fed by the way you have greeted me
today, in this, your beautiful city, and
of course, I feel at home here. / think
that any American who is worth his
salt, has the right to feel at home in
every part of the United States.
"Around this table see many men
who took part IN the great war The
war in which the younger among us
here took part was very little one,
because it did not have to be any
bigger. But it had one thoroughly
good effect; it put the cap on the
structure that has been building while
we were almost unconscious of it and
it taught us how thoroughly all one we
were. When we got through that war
it did not make bit of difference to
us whether it was an admiral who came
from Vermont or lieutenant who
came from Alabama, If he had done
his duty in such a shape as to make us
each feel an even more generous thrill
of pride in our common nationality.
The debt that we owed him had little
to do with the section from which he
oYme.
Il shall not try to make you any
speech tonight because, for your sins,
you will have to listen to me make one
tomorrow. | shall merely thank you
again with all my heart, and say to
you that want you to appreciate that
mean every word l say, and meant 1t
deeply, when | tell you l have been
touched, more than pleased, touched
and stirred by the warmth and hearth
ness with which you have make me feel
today that am one of you"

Rnycotting Enioined.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 14.-Judge
Ferris has granted an injunction re-
straining the building trades council
of this city from boycotting. The
opinion states very strongly that any
combination for boycott is unlawful
and no workman or body of workmen
has a right to threaten and try to
coerce an employer into giving more
wages than he desires. He says such
a power would be destructive to per-
scnal liberty and subversive of all social
order, all law, and all government.
