a concise statement of the avail
ability and the desirab bilitv of the dual
tariff as against reciprocitr- was made
by Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, of Illi-
nois, who this afternoon spoke in
part as follows:
i very much prefer the adoption
of the principle o. reciprocity as a
means of retaining and extending our
foreign markets, but if we cannot Sc
cure the ratification of reciprocity
treaties, there is one other method
that was seriously considered by the
Committee on Foreign Relations more
than two years ago wnen it became
apparent that the reciprocity treaties
could not be ratified, and that is the
adoption of a maximum and minimum
tariff
The adoption of this principle
would not accomplish for our foreign
trade all that reciprocity would ac-
complish. 1t would not open any
very extensive new markets for our
products; but it would prevent dis
elimination. A maximum and mini
mum tariff is more in the way of re-
taliation; but somethin must be
done, and if we cannot secure reci-
procity, / shall favor the enactment of
q law by Congress provide" a maxi
mum tariff to be applicable to every
nation that discriminates against our

tered. and it was quite noticeable thar

casion is due in a large measure to
the efforts of the Daughters Of the

con at their head, have worked uu-
ceasingly to the end that the soldiers
should have a day Of genuine pleas
ure.
The Governor left on the O'Clock

Your organization is absolutely out

crease their cheney in the indus

ng work in the way Of giving them
j realizing sense of their response

these responsibilities ] need hardly
say that / put moral betterment above
physical betterment But it is abso-
lutely impossible to do good work in
promoting the spiritual improvement
Of any race unless there is a founda-
ton of material well being, because
this foundation necessarily implies
that the race has developed the root
qualities of thrift, energy and busi-
ness sense. 1t IS as true of q race rs
of an idividual, but while outsiders
can help to a certain degree, yet the
real help must come in the shape of
self help.
