zation. The main topic of discussion

winner of the flag.
At the night session. new rules TO
control the game were approved, and
Will be submitted to the joint commit
tee Of the two major leagues for adop-
ton.

ed ball between the knee and shout
der Is called a strike according TO the
present rules.
II was agreed to begin the playing

GUN EXPLODED;
OFFICERS HURT
FIRING A TEN-INCH CANNON
,,1EN A DEFECTIVE PRIMER
CAUSED THE ACCIDENT.

coI willard and Lieut.. Ravvlston
Were the Officers Injured by the
accident, which Occurred at Fort
WethereII-ArtiIIery Thrown
IN the Ground by the Explosion
The Two Officers Are in the Hos
DltaI.
Newport. r. L, Dec. Lieut.. Col
H. Willard of the United States
Engineers Corps and Lieut.. Frank w.
Rawlston of the United States Coast
Artillery were injured to-day by the
premature explosion of a 10-inch gun
at Fort Wetherell at jamestown,
which guards Newport harbor and the
entrance to Narragansett bay.
Both officers had their eyesight and
hearing affected and faces cut.
The explosion blew the parapet
away. lifted the gun from it's car
riages and threw it back on the trun-
mons, partly wrecked. Twenty artI-
leryrnen were thrown to the ground,
but were not injured.
The explosion was said to have been
due to a defective primer on the gun,
which was recently installed in the
fort and which was being tested by
the officers.
Lieut.. Col. Willard and Lieut..
Rawston were standing on the plat
form of the gun carriage while the
men were grouped about, when the
gun exploded hurting officers and men
to the ground.
The two officers were treated at the
fort hospital. The artillerymen are
members of the Ninety-seventh Coast
Artillery.
The gun had been loaded with a $50
pound shell by a detachment of the
Ninety-seventh Coast Artillery under
the direction of the two officers The
breech had been closed, but the recoil-
ing gear had not been placed in posi-
ton.
Without the slightest warning the
gun was discharged and the recoil lift
ed the piece from its carriage and
threw it back on it's trunnions, wreck
ing them as we'll as the platform For
tunately no one was standing directly
behind the gun, but every one near it
was thrown to the ground.
The shell passed through the top of
the parapet wrecking it, and continued
on out to sea.

in Europe with our surplus. We have
to compete over there. Why shouldn't
we let it come back and forth and all
go over there? What does that in
volve? 1t involves the proposition
that Boston, Chicago, Buffalo, Duluth
Cleveland, Minneapolis. st. Paul, San
dusky, and all the cities bordering the
Canadian line, shall be fed by the near
est farmer with butter and eggs and
cattle and pork and everything the farm
produces-that they will get it from
right over the line; and what does that
do for the Kansas and Iowa farmer?
The nearest market for his surplus is
killed for him. because that proposition
in these cities takes from the American
farmer the six million population who
don't produce a single thing that the
farmer produces, who are consumers of
farm products, and it gives in return
100000 of Canadian farmers to buy
butter and eggs and produce from u.s.
Gentlemen, it is early in the campaign,
but that is the proposition, and it is the
most adroit scheme that ever was de-
vised, to talk reciprocity, reciprocity in
competitive products, with somebody
selecting the particular sacrifices.
WHAT RECIPROCITY MEANS.
This reciprocity idea is that we shall
then find a market for farm machinery.
Some one said that we ought to get
into the Canadian market and prevent
a single factory from being pullt III
Canada, by flooding it with our manu-
featured goods, and in return let them
flood US with farm products, thus in
creasing the surplus of farm products,
which we aldeary have; and what do we
gain? We get reapers and threshing
machines into Canada, but we get mil
lions of dollars worth of farm products
into this country. This suggests that
the increase of farm products must be
taken care of. It is said. "Oh, yes: We
made trade over there. We have in
creased the farm surplus, but we will
take care of that: We will take care
of that We will lower the duty on
everything that comes from Germany,
England, France, Spain and Italy, and
we viii open up a market by letting
manufactured goods come in from
these countries. and they. in the gen
tie spirit of kindness, will in return buy
our farm products, and thus we will
unload our farm products that were
brought in from Canada. and we will
swing them around, send them to Eng
land France and Germany" What
will you do then? What will you do
then with this great manufacturing
surplus you have brought in from Eng
land France, Spain and Germany? You
will swap off until you have no manu-
featuring surplus, you knowi 1t is
never ending proposition. and it is the
most adroitly conceived talk that can
be made upon protective tariff.

That is the class of citizens that
makes strong men in public places. If
you must have strong men in public
places, you must have disinterested
support, such as those in our club free
ly give. l say Republicanism is to be
congratulated on its achievements in
relation to the Spanish-American war,
because we have had from that day a
perfect Surcease of politics. Until with
in few months there has been no
rancor or partisanship in our Ameri-
can political life. SOothed and cared
for by the gentle spirit of Mckinley
these political acrimOnieS were dead.
Now after many years absence from
of the old pickering. We see some evil
dences of getting down to the plane
where our politics used to be when we
were chiseling gravestones and chang
ing the dates and marking them on
the sidewalk.
GOOD WORDS FOR ROOSEVELT.
1 know the campaign of 1904 will be
led magnificently by Theodore Roose-
Welt. (Applause.) It will be upon the
merits of the issues involved, free from
personalities. Do you know, my
friends-and your chairman called it 10
crats enough in the United States to
elect a president since the days of
James Buchanan. Think of that. Not
Democrats enough to elect a president
n.
Grover Cleveland, in his two elections,
could not have been elected except for
the votes of Republicans. Who furnish
ed the Republican votes to elect Cleve-
land twice? The workingmen. Who
is expected to furnish the Republican
votes to elect the opponent of Roose-
welt? Not the workingman, unless it is
in the large cities-but the farmers. It
is a singular fact that our Democratic
friends never have any hope of carry
ing anything for free trade when free
trade is on trial and in action. It's only
prospect for winning is after protection
has made everybody rich. Then, by
strange contrast and contradiction. the
Democratic party hopes to win. What
are they saying to US in some locaH-
ties? They are not going to make a
straight fight this year for free trade.
That has been too recently discussed
and put away. They have taken up
what was conceived by Blaine as a
good principle-reciprocit Blaine ad-
voeated reciprocity by swapping what
we produce for the things we cannot
produce. The Democratic party is go
ing to amplify that doctrine so we will
have reciprocity on competitive goods

troduced by Henry w. Grady the son
of a Confederate soldier. who, in his
brave heart and manhood, found a way
to tell the old Confederate how he can
love the dead cause. how he can turn
away from the graves of his dead COM

swear allegiance to the old flag and be

bility and honor and manhood in the

tact with his fellowmen the equality of

and products. What does that lead to?
It leads US to swapping off one indus
try and saying to one industry. You
must die for the sake of the upbuild-
ing of another. We have selected you
for slaughter What does that lead
to?
The very conflict of interests by which
one interest takes the other by the
throat, each man saying, IF I can't
have free trade in what you produce,
will go for free trade all along the line.''
AGAINST WESTERN FARMER.
They propose to work the interests of
the New England coast working man
against the western farmer by means of
Massachusetts reciprocity, and the
startling proposition is made that Can
adam farm products shall be the first
industry to be sacrificed in the inter
ests of the alleged purpose of putting
manufactured goods into Canada. What
does that involve? It looks reasonable.
Someone says in support of this that
we have got to meet Canadian surplus
