FLORENCE SPEAKMAN
WITH HER FATHER
Continued from Page One.

washington. Speakman was about TO
consent to such an agreement when
learned OF the matter. and blocked the
plan.
Release of the Child.
"A few days ago I got a letter from
Capt. Parker, IN which he said that the
child would be released II assurances
were given that Florence would be prop
erly housed and clothed. I gave him such
assurances. and the father Of the girl
went TO Baltimore. got the girl and she
Is here. and with the prospects Of hav-
ing one Of the best homes that is possible
to provide for a girl
"Speakman's twin girls. Norah and
Mary, aged about thirteen years. have
been in our home for several months, and
their father Is perfectly satisfied with the
manner IN which they have been treated.
And so far as I know. they VIII continue
20 remain with Us until we can find suit
able homes for them
Florence Speakman has already had an
eventful career in her eight years Of life.
She lost her mother one unfortunate day,
and then she found herself in s. home for
poor children. Perhaps. when she was
given into the care Of Mcdonald and wife,
she had dreams Of comfort She was
willing 10 be loved and caressed. and. per-
haps, che believed her newly found par
ents would mete those things out 70 her.
II was only q dream. No sooner. scarce
". had she been taken from Washington
than she found herself being drilled in
the art OF begging. II there IS such an
art. II was expected of her that she pro-
cure a certain sum Of money each day,
for when her collections fell short Of the
amount Mcdonald and his wife expected
she was beaten and forced to so without
food.
Begged Hard and Long.
To Offset the cruelties which beset her
young life she begged hard and long,
and was an excellent pupil FOR those who
lived of her wages.
Relief came 10 the child when an officer
Of the law sWooped down upon her VII
famous leeches and placed them in Gus
tOdy. A better thing happened when they
were punished by the law. Mcdonald is
now serving a sentence in prison. and his
wife is under guard OF the Baltimore au-
thorities.
Speakman is in the employ Of railroad
company IN this city. He Is a cripple and
lives at $50 E street northeast.

ley law President Mckinley appointed
John NJ. Kasson and several others mem
beTs OF a commission with power to
negotiate reciprocity treaties. They met
with considerable success in the negotia-
tions with other governments. but when
they came TO negotiate with the United

There are several reciprocity agreements
in existence between the United States

Never was anything fought harder In

fought by the home sugar producers.
The present unpopularity OF the doctrine
OF reciprocity is due 10 the fact that the

The Washington herald., 1909-03-29

Several years before the civil war a
treaty for reciprocal trade relations was
ratified between the United States and
Canada II was prono1Ased a failure.
and was finally repealed by the Repub-
liesns. That was the last heard or reci-
procity for many years. When the Nc
Kinley bill was pending. after It had
passed the House and was being consider
ed in the Senate, James G. Blaine, Sec
retsry OF State at that tlne, startled the
country with & letter IN which he called
the attention Of the President to the
fact that the pending tariff bill. while
taking care OF the home markets. did not
provide the slightest means for building
up an export trade. He could not see
where the bill would carry q single dol
lars worth OF new exports to the ma
tions Of the earth, and especially to
those Of South America.
Blaine was a sort OF compound fore
runner OF Ehhu Root and John Barrett IN
his desire - build up trade relations be-
tween the Pan-American states. He point
ed Out how the United States was a
large buyer from South and Central
American countries, but shipped them
comparatively little IN exchange They
were right at the nations door. yet we
were allowing Europe to supply them
with al their imports. II was like e

tunity Of selling the farmers wife bill

only important product those countries

in successfully negotiating reciprocity

lie in the fact that we had given them
