not 10 put themselves in danger Of con-
version
IL appears, however, that some of the
members of the party have seen now
light even after a very short stay in the
Islands. 1t Is well remembered that the
great impulse for treating our dependen-
cies as nos subject TO the Constitution
came from the tobacco raisers Of the con-
nectiaut Valley, so that the reported con-
version Of Representative HUI. cham
pion of that interest, 20 free trade with
the Philippines must be considered as inn
portant. II is not to be supposed that
Mr.. Hin is inclined 40 surrender any pro-
lection that may be needed by the Con
necticut wrapper" so we must conclude
that his study Of conditions in the Philip
pines has convinced him that competition
from that quarter will not affect the in
tcrests OF his constituents. The attitude
Of Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, is
also of interest. The sugar men OF the
United States have yet to be heard from
but il will doubtless be made to appear
that sugar will be as little affected as
tobacco AS all tn other important prod
ucts of the islands are on the free list,
these two commodities are the only ones
in the way of free trade.
It is possible, of course. that when these
Representatives get back home and con-
suit their constituents they may begin
to hedge and to say that they were mis-
quoted. At present. however IL looks as
if Secretary Taft has made a hit with
his excursion. so far as enecting CONVEX
sions is concerned.

IL AN interview Speaker Cannon
intimates his disapproval OF the
reciprocity agitation which has again
become active by reason of the dis
cussions at the reciprocity congress
at cmcago
The stand patters" have much to
justify them ga their position. since
under high tariffs we have Invariably
prospered while tariff reduction has
invariably resulted ia either depres-
sion OF panic
But we think they make grave
mistake in not admitting that tariff
schedules are open to revision now
or al amy future tins- We think that
the American people are thoroughly
satisfied that the principle Of protec-
ton has been good for this country
and is yet good. but there must all
ways be room for differences Of opin-
ion in the applicatloe OF that dec
tr.ne. It upon this poin. that many
Republicans ind fault with the
Stand patters."
Now the reciprocity feature is as
much Republican policy as is protec-
tion. There has been distinguished
line Of Republicans favoring recipro-
city. Among them we might enumer-
ate Gardeid Blaine tHafs6n. Nc
Klaley and Roosevelt Mr. Blan,
negotiated or had in process Of nego-
tiation many reciprocal treaties. but
the Senate refused its sanction. 1t is
curious thar the executive department
should hold views SO different from
those held by the legislative.
There is great deal to be said that
is favorable to the principle of reci-
procity. and instead of being opposed
TO protection. it is its complement. A
protective tariff comprehends the gem
eral principle for the govsrnance OF
the trade that other peoples have with
us. but che reciprocity clause enables
US 70 viaye the general policy when
the exception Warrants.
We keep up The bass generally
where WE want them kept up. and le,
them down where il is to our advan-
taeo. As an instance OF this policy
we may point 20 our treaty with cuba
which the Senate blocked SO long and
so stuhbomly. We wanted Cuba to
buy .n our markets, but she would not
buy our products unless she could sell
hers Now her products we needed
and they did not interfere TO ans
great degree with American commodi-
Ties. The arrangement was Of mutual
advantage. aside from the sentiment
there was 10 il.
So the .stand pattcrs" make d
grave mistake TO sneer Mt the principl,
OF reciprocity. II is IN operation to-
day. having been forced through tn,
Senate oy great Presidents OF Cabinet
officers. And If it has worked wen fl
practice, there is no reason why its
possible extension should not be dis.

ternoon at 4.8O o'clock one of the
largest steel castings that has yet
been made by this progressive firm
was poured successfully.

600 pounds of steel ore which was
boiled to a white heat and then de-
posted in moulds The largest cast
ing made weighed $4,000 pounds, IL

the west end of the big shop and an
other furnace viii be constructed.

While heats are being poured daily
moulders are constantly engaged in
making moulds for castings of all de-
scriptlons and the work is most in
teresting to witness. At present
moulds are being formed for a $4,000
pound stem for the new ice boat to be
constructed by the Cramps for the city
of Philadelphia to replace the one
that was sunk off the breakwater
during the past winter. The heat
will be poured on Saturday next.
CASTINGS FOR NEW CRUISER.
In addition to this work the firm
is preparing to cast several important
pieces for the new cruiser St Louis
now being built at the Nefie & Levy
United States Government. The
work consists Of ammunition hoists
deck cranes and gem turrets. Every
piece of steel TO be used in the new
vessel has to stand a severe test and
government inspectors watch thu
work closely. SO far every sample
has passed inspection as required b.
