Council Bluffs Nonparlel A dis.
tinct tone Of disappointment peryades
comment, In quarters friendly TO the
movement, on the recent reciprocity
convention. The burden OF criticism
generally Is that the convention fall
cd 20 evolve any clear, tangible or
practical idea for the solution OF the
problem, the existence Of which was
the occasion for the gathering.
Some OF the critics go back 10 the
beginning and complain that the idea
OF the conference was wrong In its
conception. Some would have had II
a distinctly republican gathering with
the hope that its voice would have
had more weight with the republl'
publican congress. Predlsposed TO
minimize the affair, It Is suggested the
republican congress may find In the
presence OF democrats In the confer.

tude. Doubtless this misgIying will
in due time prove TO be well founaed.
II rs readily seen that movement
within tho party might have injured
more respect and consideration at the
hands OF congress.
But, this question aside, the Inn
preston still seems to prevail that
the conference didn't amount TO much,
that II marked the zenith at least for
some time to come instead Of the
beginning, or the revival OF the
movement which 1t was aimed TO fos.
ter and encourage, that OF modifying
tariffs in the interest OF an extension
Of our foreign trade. 1t may develop
that the contrary iy true, but there
are those who believe that this move
ment sustained backset rather than
an impetus, from the convention.
A requiem was sung to reciprocity
by treaty without the compensation
Of the birth OF a new idea to take ita
place. II was more OF funeral than
q christening.
