The Presidents energetic championship
OF Cuban r. ciprocity is cause OF serious
annoyance to a number Of Republican
senators. They say, with good reason.
that " the party makes cut on the only
tariff schedule which does or can protect
the farmers and leaves intact those schcd-
ules which are recognized as protecting
the Steel Trust and other gigantic cor
porations. their Western constituents will
lose all faith in the party aud will hearkcn
to the Democratic contention that the
Republican party is dominated by che
great monopolies and stands ready 10
sacrifice the interests OF the people rather
than those OF the trusts. This view is
believed TO be held by Senator Allison ard
many other Western senators and. while
they propose 10 Oppose the Cuban rcci.
procity bill when u comes from the Hoase.
they are indignant that Che President
sboud have put them 10 the position Of
disregarding the popular c'amor for tho
relief OF Cuba on the one hand. or Of laying
themselves open q the charges specified
on the other.
