Another Recipro city Convention.

Late in the autumn Of 1901 a notable
body gathered in the city of Washington.
1t was composed of representative bust
ness men from all parts of the country
1t met in large hall on the upper floor
of leading hotel, and spent three days
in discussion and talk-mostly talk. 1t
was called National Reciprocity Con-
vention, and it assembled for the specific
purpose OF urging, yea, verify. of de-
handing that reciprocity, at that time
referred to as "the handmaiden OF pro-
lection" be officially adopted "a a ma
tional policy.
During the proceedings of the body it
became obvious that each and every
attendant, with possibly two exceptions,
was an earnest advocate of reciprocity,
subject, however, to one indispensable
proviso. That was, that reciprocity be
applied to all lines except those in which
its individual advocates were interested.
Thus Providence and Attleboro we're
ardent for all treaties which had no
effect on cheap jewelry. They would
extend the glad reciprocal hand to Argen-
tina or Australia, but the pigeonholed
Kasson treaty with France was a national
iniquity. Philadelphia was enthusiastic,
even for the French treaty, but there

"The Fact Of Christ"

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-.sn: According to
Bishop Doanc, the one ain and purpose OF the
Bible is to set forth Jesus Christ. The Old Book
was put together to demonstrate the fact OF
Christ"
Scanly indeed arc the illusions TO Christ outside
OF the Bible. and II one attempts to construct a
historical Christ without Its aid the fact Is soon
appreciated. Briefly. Christ Is TO be found and
known 10 the Bible. and nowhere else.
Glarcing quickly over the question, the fact of
Christ" Is set forth Ia SYMBOL typ. and prophecy.
There Is q Gospel OF the Old Testament as well as OF
the New. The root and foundation OF every Chris =
,iau doctrine may be found In that much abused
Book OF Genesis. For example. the story Of Abra-
ham and Isaac's attempted sacrifice but typnes
the greater one to follow centuries later the
very same spot. And so one might go on.
Orthodoxy but asks a fair examination OF It's
claims Are the cri,ic able to explain away the
fact of Christ, The question admits moro than
one answer. c. N. j.

give the lunatic such easy way of carrying out
his designs. One can readily imagine a mind

exist on that road! With men OF the best grade,
with country free from fogs and with two mile
view for the engincman, the liability TO disaster
from negligent displacement OF a switch Is, Indeed,
remote; but when one reflects for moment on the

II was the constant effort of THREE CENT

DALRYMpLE was in this country to explain
to him the necessity of politlcalizing public
utilities. The effect Of their arguments was
not apparent during his stay here, but they
had strong hopes of his conversion to their
ideas as he considered their arguments on
the long trip home. Their hopes are unful-
filed. He is unconvinced.
