Secretary Shaw devoted much atten-
tion to the practice of selling American
manufactures at lower prices abroad
than at home. He said that out of
$l3, 900, 900 100000 worth of manufactures
100000 worth or one-thirtieth of one
per cerft., is sold abroad cheaper than
at home. He thought this practice de-
feasible, and said foreign producers did
the same thing. Secretary Shaw con-
cluded:
1T Is a well-known fact that sugar,
which sells in the United States, duty
paid ~ cents per pound retail, is
worth in the country of production
~ cents per pound wholesale. The very
men who grow the beets from which
this sugar is made, pay 10 cents per
pound retail for the same sugar which
we get at 5 cents per pound, and the
foreign beet grower is statesman
enough to approve the policy. He is
willing to pay a higher price for the
small amount of sugar which he con-
sumes, on certain condition that the
product of his field shall supply the
American table.
For my part, I am willing to pay
any reasonable price for the small
amount of barbed wire which / con-
sumo, provided the wheat from my
field the dairy products from my herd
and the meat from my stall shall feed

and the artisans who produce the wire

National Negro League Suggests n
Platform Plank.

Chicago June 21--The adoption of a
plank declaring the Republican party
opposed to "all forms of disfranchise-
ment founded on caste and race preju-
dice" will be asked by the National
Negro League. The league held its
annual session at the Institutional
African Methodist Church with an at
tendance of 100 delegates, forty-five Of
whom are delegates to the Republican
Convention. A committee was named
to wait upon the Republican Commit
tee on Resolutions to-day with the fol-
lowing declaration for the party:
THE right of suffrage should not be
withheld wherever intelligence and a
loyal regard for the spirit aims of the
constitution are manifested. Whenever
IL is denied for reasons that do not
apply to an understanding of the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship, a due re-
gard for life. property, and the per-
petuation of popular government the
act is in direct conflict with the in
tention and letter Of the constitution
of the United States. The Republican
party. therefore, is opposed to all forms
of disfrm achisement founded on
caste and race prejudices."
Several speeches were directed
against the political slavery Of the
South"

TEXAS DEMOCRATS
SHOUT FOR SPEECHES.
Parker and "Get Together ''spieIs''
Were Given Them.


San Antonio, Tex, June 21.-Not-
withstanding the elimination of all
prospects for controversy, the Demo-
cratic State Convention made slow
progress. The delegates very early in
the proceedings took the management
into their own hands and insisted on
speechmaking by ex-senator John H.
Reagan and Senators Culberson and
Bailey.
At the afternoon session the usual
committees were appointed and then
more speechmaking followed. All of
the speeches were of the Parker and
"get together" type. A significant
statement by Judge Reagan was to
the effect that he was Mr.. Bryan's
firm friend, but that he had told that
gentleman in the campaign of 1900
that he did not approve of his squint-
ing at Socialism.

The Platform Committee will not re-

work of that body thus far indicates
that the platform will be very short
and perhaps limited to denunciation of
the present administration and to a
reaffirmation of the principles of the
party as embodied in the platform of
past national conventions.
The night session of the Democrat tic
convention chose two electors at large

Chicago. June 21.-Ex-S Secretary of
War Elihu Root on assuming the
chair as temporary chairman of the
convention, made the speech of the
day. He reviewed the Republican ad-
ministration at length, dwelling up
on the financial condition of the
country and led up to the trust" issue.
"Our Republican administration he
said. has taken up the subject in a
practical, sensible way as a business,
rather than political question, saying
what it really meant, and doing what
lay at it's hand to be done to accom-
plish effective regulation. The prin-
ciples upon which the government pro-
ceeded were stated by the President in
his message of December, 1902"
After the passage of the antitrust
act. he said the Attorney General went
on not to talk about the trusts. but to
proceed against them by law for their
regulation.

Dor and American industries.
Added to this was a declaration
committing the party to a readjust-
ment of the schedules IL found to be
desirable in the future.
There was mild declaration on the
subject of reciprocity and a pronounce
ment against trusts, but with reser-
walton in the interest of established,
legitimate industries" In this con-

MASSACHUSETTS IDEA
ON THE TARIFF POLICY.

Platform.

Chicago, June 21.-The early morn
ing hours developed a tendency to-
wards the adoption of the tariff policy
outlined by the Massachusetts Repub-
lfcan Convention which, while recog-
MIXING the worth of the present tariff
law, declares that no schedules are
sacred or necessarily permanent. Sen
ator Lodge is understood to be the
author of that plank, and the fact that
he will be chairman of the committee
on Resolutions gives strong color to
the surmise THAT he will press a similar
declaration on the convention.
Senator Lodge would not admit his
interest in that form of declaration.

say that in private conference the

policy say it Is wise because it will
leave the door open for revision, il
thought wise, while not making it man
