WHERE Is RECIPROCITY?

ardently committed under the leader,

remarkable. When Mr.. Dingley and
his republican associates devised the
tarin bill Of 1897. they incorporated in
II reciprocity clause. and from the
unanimity with which the bill was
passed the whole republican party APP
peared TO indorse H. To appease the
ultra protectionists many OF the duties
provided for in the schedules were pur.
posely PLACED beyond the bounds Of rea-
sonable protection. in some cases higher
than the protected interests asked for
SO that when the rates were revised by
reciprocity treaties they would still be
high enough to protect the tariff barons
from foreign competition. The bill hav-
Ing expressly provided for reciprocity
treaties. the Mckinley administration
at once proceeded To negotiate with for
eign countries. Treaties were made
with nearly every country. but the SEN
ate refused TO ratify them and the sched-
ules are still retained at the extreme
high rates.
This evasion of the intent and the LETT
Ter OF the Dingley bill is fraud upon
the tax payers OF the country. perpe-
trated in the interest of the trusts and
combines. The few who gain by the
tarin have obtained control of the ma

exorbitant profit 10 the trusts.

sentatives is selected. and the commit

President Roosevelt falls into line with
the majority and agrees that we must

The symptoms OF revolt against this
policy amongst the republican leaders
have been cnrbed. but in the minds OF the
people II is rampant and cannot be oblit-
Grated by the actions Of president or con-
gress. The promise to reform the in
EQUITIES of the tariff after election will
probably be made in the platform of the
republican national convention. but the
evident intention being TO catch the
votes of reformers and then still "let
well enough alone" will be too palpable
to fool the voters. High trust prices
are an object lesson that too many are
suffering from and the promise of re-
form al some distant date will hardly
curb their Impotence
