William M. Reece Writes Open Letter
Upon the Question of Reciprocity.

William M. Reece Writes Open Letter
Upon the Question Of Reciprocity.
To the republicans of Ottumwa and
Wapello county:
Gentlemen: Permit me to call your
attention to few facts in regard to
Canadian reciprocity and the Iowa
idea
Canadian reciprocity is delusion
and snare promulgated by enemies of
tariff for protection and is desired by
them plainly for the purpose of rem
dering the tariff on competitive articles
imperative to the fullest extent that
they may be able to secure such agree
ments between this nation and Great
Britain on the products of Canada
which are identical with our own.
Do not be deceived for there are
two kinds of reciprocity, one demo
cratic and the other republican, just
as there are two kinds Of tariff, one
for protection and the other for rev
enue only, which you at once recognize
as being distinctively democratic and
republican.
Democratic reciprocity is scheme
whereby the United States agrees to
admit free Of duty such articles OF
commerce as we can and do produce
on the farms and in the work shops of
this country, while other countries
with whom such agreements are made
are required to admit free of duty a
corresponding number of articles from
our country without regard to whether
they are of advantage to us or not.
They only make this generous propo-
sition for the purpose of extending
their pet theory of free trade just as
far as they can.
Mr.. Williams of Mississippi, the dem
ocratic leader in the house defines
their ideas Of reciprocity as follows:
There is also a tariff revision by
piecemeal, which is the handmaiden
of the other system. This is tariff revi-
sion by reciprocal trade agreements
with other nations. Much can be done
along this piecemeal line of tariff re-
vision under a democratic or approx
mately democratic law"
The republican idea, not the Iowa
idea of reciprocity, was enunciated in
the republican platform in 1900 as fol-
lows:
1--WE favor the associate policy of
reciprocity, SO directed as to open our
markets on favorable terms for what
we do not ourselves produce in ex-
change for free foreign markets"
President Mckinley understood this
to mean what he said in his inaugural
address.
He said: 1.-THE end in view is always
to be the opening up Of new markets for

the products Of our country by grant
ing concessions to the products of 9th
er lands that we need and con not pro-
duce ourselves and which do not in
volve any loss of labor to our own
people, but tend to increase their en-
ployment."
Can that be construed to mean the
free admission of farm products from
Canada for and in consideration that
we may sell farm machinery, boots and
shoes free in their market, even If they
would grant us that privilege? Any one
familiar with current events in Can
ada knows that concession of that
kind would not be made by them and
even if they would. where is the Iowa
farmer SO weak minded to favor bar
gain of that kind and where is the pol
ltfcian. manufacturer or confidence
man that would have the gall to ask
him to consent to it?
Do not lose sight of this fact that
for every dollars worth we sell in
foreign markets we sell fourteen at
home and that the entire trade of
Europe, Asia and Africa only amounts
to eight billions Of dollars annually,
while Our own home market amounts
to eleven billions Of dollars. There
fore. If We could have the exclusive
privilege of selling all that Europe,
Asia and Africa buy from all other ma
tons or should give our own home
market in exchange for that privilege
our loss would be three billion dollars.
Is it not the part of wisdom for the
Iowa farmer and mechanic to stand up
for their own home market?
You can safely trust to the republi-
can party to make such reciprocity
treaties as will either be advantage
GUS to the entire people or they will
make none at all. this has been de-
monstrated by past history and no man.
can point to a reciprocity treaty advo-
Gated by republicans that has. not thor
oughly safeguarded the interests of all
our people except the treaty with
Cuba the basis Of which was charity to
Cuba and was never advocated upon
any other grounds and there was some
excuse for extending that charity to
Cuba at the time it was done. But,
what excuse can there be for us to adj
nit natural products from Canada or
any other part of the world under the
pretext that we are entering into bust
nesslike reciprocity treaties for the
purpose of extending our markets,
when in fact it would be crackbrain.

by them as d triumph OF business sa-,

DOLPH WAS CURIOUS
CASE OF BRIGHTON PosTMAs.
MASTER INVESTIGATED BY
U. S. GRAND JURY.
Charged With Violating Postal Laws
by Opening MaiI-Had His PreIimn-
airy Hearing Before United States
Commissioners Hunter.

The case of ex-Postmaster John
Dolph of Brighton charged with violat-
ing the postal laws, it is said, is being
investigated by the United States grand
jury at Keokuk today. Mr.. Dolph has
had his preliminary hearing before
United States Commissioner F. NJ.
Hunter in this city several weeks ago
and was held to the grand jury.
Mr. Dolph was formerly minister
and had always borne a good reputa-
ton. The following from the Burling-
ton Gazette will be of interest to many
Ottumwa people who knew Mr.. Dolph
and are interested in the case:
Mr.. Dolph is an honest looking old
gentleman and is no doubt as honest
as he looks. His case Is a peculiar
one. He is not accused of rifling let
tiers. but merely opening certain peo-
pies mail and satisfying his curiosity
as to the contents of the letters. This
happened several weeks ago. The
persons whose mail had been tempered
with, reported the, matter to the post
office department, and all inspector de-
tailed on the case. fixed on the post
master as the culprit and placed him
under arrest.
After His Job.
"The origin of Mr.. Dolph's predica-
ment is contained in the fact that an
other good republican resident of
Brighton wanted his Job. He was well
aware of this fact and had also been
apprised that certain persons interest
ed in the welfare of his would-be sue
cessor, were actively welding ham
mer against him in the postoffice de-
partment at Washington. The post
master knew pretty well who his en-
emies were, but instead Of a waiting
the outcome of the case, it is said, he
became anxious to see what his enc
mics were saying about him and in
turn what the postoffice department
thought of the matter. His curiosity
being aroused he commenced it is al
legged to open all the mail that came
through the office supposedly in regard
to his case. The postmaster is pref
ty important official, but he is exceed
ing his authority when he hampers with
other peoples mail and the federal
court will probe the matter thorough
ly and ascertain the guilt or innocence
of the accused. Neither he or his at
torney would discuss the matter with
Gazette representative"

Although the Iowa winter was not
of sufficient severity to injure the
fruit tree of this state, the latest re-
ports from the east indicate that a
large part Of the fruit bearing trees
have suffered greatly during the past
winter which is considered in the vi
entity of the east one of the hardest

perieEced Trees from twenty to thir-
ty years old have been entirely killed
and the fruit crop will be considerably
smaller this year than the average.
making imported fruits very high and
scarce this summer. This will partic-
ularly affect the pear trade as it was
these trees which suffered most. New
England was the chief sufferer. If
the local growers have good crop
this summer, it will prove a bonanza
for them as prices are expected to be
high, much to the discontinue of the
lover of fruits.
There are very few changes in
prices on the local market and local
produce is at a standstill again. Early
vegetables have slackoned somewhat
and local dealers are having a hard
time in getting them. A slight adj
vance in price may be expected with
in a very few days The reaction in
weather conditions which has set in
causing a short cold spell has strength
