REPUBLICANS SHY
AT RECIPROCITY
Party Leaders Propose to Adopt
Strong Stand Pat Tariff
Plank.
Democrats to Pledge Themselves
to Reciprocity and Tariff d
Revision.
-
Setback for Trade Pact With
Canada -Cummins Loses
Favor.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington.
Washington, March lat is now
the practically unanimous Judgment
of leading men in the republican party
that the national convention this year
will adopt a strong :'standpat" tariff
plank, and that if it touches reciproc-
ity at all it will be with gloved fingers.
Reciprocity is the sister Of tariff re-
vision, and one cannot we'll be recog-
gnized without recognizing the other
also.
This information may come with
something akin to a shock to many
good republicans in the middle west,
especially those who believe in the
doctrine advocated so ably by, Gov
ernor Cummins of Iowa. It may as
well be said here and now that Cum
Minis is distinctly out of favor with
the republican leaders, and that If he
isn't suppressed in his own state it will
not be their fault.
The word has gone out that the
"standpatters' of Iowa are to man
age affairs in some such way as to
prevent the governor from becoming
too prominent this year, and that the
Iowa republican state convention is to
adopt "standpat" resolutions.
The other day, asked a well-known
Iowa republican what tn eparty in
his state would do this year on tariff
matters, and he replied it would prob
ably hold itself in line with the pre-
vailing republican thought, which was
to let well enough alone. Cummins
will go as delegate to the national
convention, but, as an offset, NJ. w.
Blythe, the Burlington roads political
manager in Iowa. will go also.
Minnesota I'm Line.
Minnesota, which shares with Iowa
the distinction Of being western
leader in the interest of tariff revision,
is also to s'stand pat at its state
convention this month. In both states
a quiet but apparently effective cam
paign has been conducted in the in
terest Of these results, and this is
said to explain why In both states
there is so much talk of sending as
delegates to the national convention
men who are we'll known to be against
tariff revision.
The carrying out of this program
Wil1 mean that for cat least four years
nobody in either state will be able to
command any large hearing on re-
vision or, reciprocity matters. What
ever else may be said of such a state
Of affairs, it will be conceded that
the men who expect to bring it about
were uOl tldCh1uS LII poAllcd1 Sd6dCAty
and foresight.
With the republican revisionists and
reciprocity advocates in these two
| leading revision and reciprocity states
| discredited for another four years, the
, high protectionists will have COM
| paratively little to fear. If revision
or reciprocity ever comes to pass, II
will be thru sentiment developed in
the middle west. BY blocking the
game in Minnesota and Iowa, the pro-
tectionists may be able to breathe free
lily for another long spell. ~

Special to The Journal.
Tientsin. March 1.-THE Japanese

Of March II, as follows:
Six torpedo boats which went out to

erS.
A hot action ensued, in which the tor

a Whitehead torpedo and sunk one OF

stroyer Stereguschtchi, commanded by
Lieutenant Sergueiff, sustained damages

statements, is probably more kinds
of damphool than was ever con-
centred in any one individual of
whom this people has any know
ledge. That much being conceded
it seems superfluous that he should
continue to pile up evidence. But
that's where the fool comes in. There
is satisfaction. however, i'll the fact
that his statements get little circula-
ton out of the county, and Putnam
county people can generally be relied
upon to spot false statement. In
Starkey's latest screed to local pa
per he made this statement: For
the coming spring 5000 more acres OF
potatoes will be grown, it being estl-
mated from the past that our prairie
land will produce from 200 to 6OO
bushels to the acre without fertilizer.
In some of these features we are in
condition to excel by far the most
sanguine expectations of the promo
ters of Florahome colony, who short

portunity for independent incomes

facts. The local potato growers as

1000 acres between Lake City

that he set out to do.
But the land does raise potatoes
and with the use of but little fertili-
ger. G. l.. Knight, on one acre OF
muck land last spring, raised 500
worth of potatoes. On the basis OF
So 30 per barrel, that would mean
about 100 bushels to the acre, with
hut little fertilizer. The News will

When it does lie it's safe to say with

There is the likelihood that Flora
home is to lose the saw mill business
of Messrs Ewing & Co. through the
inability of the firm to secure hick-
ory timber. The mill has done a
thriving business in saving hickory
for wagon work which it has shipped
to northern manufacturers But the
available local supply has been ex-
hausted and it has been found inn
practicable to have the timber shipp-
ed from distance owing to the ex-
cessive freight rates. The railroad
company does not make a rate on
logs, but charges the same as for
rough lumber.
What FlorahOme needs at the pres
ent time, more, perhaps, than any
other one thing, is to be saved from
the slobberings of it's self-cOnstitut-
ed, over-zealous and superabundant
boomer. 1t has been said that If a
man is bound to lie, he ought, at
least, to confine himself to such
statements as bear the ear-marks of
plausibility. In order to accomplish
his purpose he ought to be something
beyond a mere wind-jammer. The
Florahome colony is a section of the
county that everyone at all CONVEX
SAINT with affairs, knows contains
some of the richest land in Florida.

really no necessity of putting ones

pecially by exaggeration. 1t is gen.
