RECIPROCITY-"A Mere Catchword.''

That is well said, and touches a vital
point in the reciprocity what-is-it Not
one of the advocates Of reciprocity has
ever stated distinctly what he means by
1t. Mr.. Foss' resolution favored q con-
ference with Canada on reciprocity as
a generalized term. Democrats eagerly
approve anything that suggests tariff
ripping. The tariff plank as adopted
BY the Massachusetts republicans re-
cites that protection, which guards
and develops our industries. is car
dinal policy of the republican party.
We insist upon the maintenance OF its
principles, but we recognize that par
ticular tariff schedules are neither
sacred nor immutable." But no
more than compensate for the inevi-
table disturbance of business attending
the revision of any tariff schedule; and
ito entrust it to the democratic party
Is to again invite the democratic dis
aster and panic of 1898"
In his opening sentences Senator
Lodge remarked that there is one
thing no party can endure and live. 1t
cannot have its platform drawn or its
candidates nominated for it by its OPP
ponents." He showed that the most
favorable period Of our trade with
Canada has been since the abrogation
or reciprocity with the DOMINION thlr-
ty-seven years ago. He condemned a.
reciprocity, or anything else. that
would sacrifice one industry to benefit
another or that would be framed along
sectional lines. One of the surest ways
to silence an advocate of reciprocity is
to call for its definition. AS long as 1t
is put forward as a misty abstraction
it hackers can be glib. Thew are silent
or evasive when called on for particu-
lar hue &c n,.hl fra
squarely affirmed the party policy of
protection and put reciprocity aside as
being, in it's present form, "a mere
catchword."

BRILLIANT IOWA ORATOR DELIV-
Frs A MASTERFUL AD-
DRESS.
SAYS TARIFF is NOT
MOTHER OF TRUSTS
Defends His Position On Important
Question and Makes Best Speech
Heard In the United States Senate
During Present Session.
[BY H. J. MAHIN.1
Washington Bureau Of the Courier.

Washington, D. c., April Fl.
Hon. j. P. Dolliver, the junior SEN
ator from Iowa, covered himself with
glory and more thoroughly established
his reputation as an orator in a speech
on the trust question made in the
senate yesterday afternoon. The speech
was one of the greatest efforts of Sen
ator Delivers career and it was ac-
knowledged to be the most mastery
exploitation of the trust question dur
ing the present session of congress.
Senator Dolliver looked at the sun
ny side of the trust question. He ex-
pressed the greatest confidence in the
unwritten laws4of nature and of bust
ness to solve the problem. In speak
ing of these unwritten laws he said
that the oldest law known among men
except the law of family was the law
of property.
st would be singular" he said, "that
the great God who made us and placed
80,000,000 of US here together in the
greatest market place in the world S
comm cree should have gone off and
left us in our weakness to be robbed
without benefit Of clergy, with nothing
to lean On except an occasional act of
congress or a joint resolution Of the
state legislature"
Senator Dolliver gave one of the
strongest defenses Of the protective
tariff system that has been heard in
congress this year.
Tariff Not Mother of Trusts.
The keynote Of the speech was that
the tariff is not the mother OF trusts"
as it has been claimed by the demo-
Gratis but that it is the mother Of the
enormous industries which have
grown up under the Dingley law,
which. from whatever point of view
1t may be judged = whether from the
universal employment of the working
forces of the country or the general
level Of high wages. or the multiplied
ton of new industries, or the prospect
ty of the farm, or the activity of do
nestle trade or the volume and net re-
suits of foreign commerce = the years
covered by the Dingley law will be
memorable for generations to come
THAT enactment" continued the
Iowa senator, Stands at the beginning
of a new epoch in our commercial life
yet it is only repeated upon wider
scale of national experience from the
beginning and it will be vain task tc
try to blot out of the minds and the
hearts Of the American people the
memory of the redemption wrough

Victory Over Prejudice.


the present session of congress began
in observing the complete victory
which the existing tariff law has won
over the preiudices and settled opin-
ions which for generations have de-
termined the attitude of the democrat
ic party toward the protective policy.
Leaders Are Satisfied.
"For the first time in our national
history since 1916 that policy stands
approved, its enemies themselves be-
ing the judges by the common con
sent of the American people. If we
may accept the plain intimation OF
democratic leaders in the senate and
house of representatives the old bat
tie cries of the party are not to be
heard as we approach the presidential
election this year. But in their place
we are likely to find calm and re-
signed acceptance of our established
industrial system with no suggestion
of a change which will disturb its
foundations or alarm interests which
have grown up under it's influence.
""The democratic party was quick
to take up the statement which the
president of the American Sugar Re
filming company made in his testimony
before the industrial commission, that
the customs tariff law is the mother
of trusts That sentence, passing rap
idly into the liturgy of democratic de-
votions has become a text of every
species of extravag CANT defamation
and invective.
Trusts Not Menace.
"And even in these later years al
the time the cutlery against the trusts
has slenced all the other noises OF
our political strife. the publication oil
the report of the census of 1900 has
thrown the light of definite informa
ton upon fights Of everybody's mag
ination. Whoever now begins his tt
rade against the trusts by announcing
that theybestride our narrow industri
al world like a colossus only makes
himself ridiculous. At the time the
census was taken the trusts employed
S.4 per cent of the factory labor of the
country and their total output was 141
per cent. of the aggregate factory pro
