PARKER AND TKyNLEY.

Speaker Cannon, in a speech at Norfolk. Neb
The other night. brought grave charge against
Judge Parker, namely. that IN his 0uOtatiOn
from President McKiniey's last speech he cut
out the projection point made by that cham
pion OF labor and of the tariff The charge is
one easily verified or GisproTed Here is the
paragraph referred 10 in Judge Parker's let
Ter 81 acceptance Speaking of reciprocity he
wrote:
Our martyred President, williem Mckinley
appreciated this situation. He pointed out In
his last address TO the people that We must
make sensible trade arrangements II we shall
estend the outlets Cor increasing SURPLUS
he said a system which provides a mutual ex-
change OF commodities is nanifesfly essential
TO the continued and heslthful growth OF our
ness Is past The expansion OF our trade and
commerce is the pressing problem CONNER
.cial wars are improbable. A policy OF good
will and friendly relations will prevent re-
prisals. Reciprocity treaties are in harmony
with the spirit OF the times; measures OF re-
taltation are not"
The exclusion of certain parts OF President
NeKinley's speech is indicated in the Judges
letter and TO this extent It is not misleading.
To quote one part however, which makes for
fhe Judges views and 70 exclude another and
vitally important part Of the statement Of
President Mckinley reciprocity NAV be
sanctioned by the practice OF attorneys az the
shinE different IN candidate for the Presi-
dency. That Judge Parker did Knowingly in
Vite misconeeptiOn OF McKinIey's views on
reciprocity as related to the tariff is made
manifest by q glance at what "OlIr martyred
President land therefore 10 he treated Justly
as % his memory did say on this subject in
his last great speech. Here are the words
themselves;
BY sensible trade arrangements which will
rot Interrupt our home production we shall ex-
tend the outlets for our increasing surplus A
system which provides a mutual exchange OF
commodities IS manifeStly essential 20 the con-
tinCed and healthful growth Of our eKport trade
We must not repose In fancied security that We
can forever sell everything and buy little or
nothing II such thing were possible It would
not be best for US or for those with whom we
deal We should take from our customers such
of their products without harm
20 our Industries and labor. Reciprocity is the
natural oufsrOYth OF our wonderful Industrial
development under the domestic policy now
nrnly established.
What we produce beyond our domestic con-
suust be relieved through foreign outlet, and
We should sell everywhere we can and buy
wherever tho buying will enlarge our sales and
productions, and therefore make q greater de-
rlsnc for home labor.
The period OF e1clusiveness IS past. The ex-
panSion OF our trade and commerce Is the press
tng problem. Commercial wars are improbable
a policy OF good win and friendly relations will
prevent reprisals Reciprocity treaties are IN
harmony with the spirit of the times: measures
OF retaliation are not

As put by President Mckinley in the foregoing
quotaton from bis speech the interests of Amer
tcan labor arc not lost sight OF and the bul
