Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-07-14

The committee OF one hundred OF
the Boston Chamber of Commerce ap.
pointed to consider the general ques-
ton of reciprocity and tariff revision
adopted declaration that the country
is confronted with commercial nd
economic situation which threatens
American interests and industries.
These Boston Repu blican business
men further declared:
1--WE believe a revision OF the tart Il
upon the principle Of reciprocity to
be necessary and we affirm that the
adoption of maximum and mini
mum tariff system, having for its
purpose reciprocity rather than retail
iation, is best calculated to promote
and maintain rational system OF
protection, and to guarantee the
equitable treatment OF all foreign ma
lions.
The typical attitude of Germany,
our second largest foreign customer,
emphasizes the practical character OF
reciprocity as political proposition.
The pendencv Of the Hay Bond treaty
with Newfoundland, and our unset
tied commercial relations with the
Dominion Of Canada most urgently
call for immediate action.
ave earnestly endorse the report
ed intention of President Roosevelt
to call special session of Congress
for the imme diate revision of the tar
it,
The declaration of independence OF
the Republican dogma of protection
will lead to freedom from the plund
eriug of the trusts and protected
special interests if President Roose-
Welt will stick to his declared iuten-
tioa of calling a special session Of
Congress to consider that and the
Railroad rate question.
The Boston Republican business
men urge, immediate revision of the
tariff but they will have to be con-
stautly pushing and urging the re-
form they desire or they will be gre.
viously disappointed,
The republican leaders, who are al.
most without exception opposed to a
special session of Congress, on ac-
cunt OF their objecting to tariff re
s,on. have evidently persuaded
President Roosevelt that an extra
session is not warranted by conditions
and that to call one before the Fall
elections would injure the party in
these states where elections are to be
held. The President seems to have
fallen into this trap and those Repu9,
lican leaders who have talked with
him declare there will he no special
sess SION, at least not until ailer the
elections are over, which would bring
lie time close to the regular date o
n eeting, December !. In that cas-
it will be much easier for the Repub
iican stand patters who will cuntro

all tariff legislation must originate. 10

They were not called by drum or rum-

was Patrick Henry.
