speech, a controlling and qualified
sentence that was meant to control and
qualify every other utterance in that
speech. we should take from our Gus
toners such of these products as we
can use without harm to our indus

Now putting the first few lines of
my quotation of Col. Hepburn in jux-
Imposition with the last sentence | ask
the candid reader if it is not our gal
liant Col. Hepburn who questions the
orthodoxy of President Mckinley's
faith in protection. There new at

Hepburn mentions must mean the
kasson treaties surely, for in this way
have the stand pat leaders throttled
these treaties which Mckinley had ar
ranged n which he and President
Roosevelt certainly approved in sub
hitting them to the senate.
No anti-stand patter, thinks q single
word of President McKirley's speech
is inconsistent with his life work in
upbuilding the republican twin policy
of protection and reciprocity and that
the stand patter is engaged in the work
of tearing assunder the twain by
assassinating reciprocity thus raising

duties were adjusted with regard to
reciprocity as well as protection. The
reciprocity part of the Mckinley adj
