own reply by attacking the rule which
senator IuHlnLllS proposes 10 peiillll
tariff schedules 10 be amended one at
a time and thereby cut out the log roll

stands together in its trading Of votes
at the expense of the agricultural west.

favor at the hands of the Legislature.
Since then he has seen the standpat

of December /. he rises in the senate
with the admission that his election by
the Iowa legislature just now seems
very. very doubtful" and he then pro-
ceeds 10 voice the differences which
have always existed between himself
and Cummins.
Young's speech in the senate was
loaded witt a magazine full of special
ammunition for use in the 1912 pri-
mary. LATE remembers full we'll the
destruction he wrought in the spring
convention campaign of 1905 for the
selection of delegates TO the national
convention by his adroit and cunning
attack upon Cummins' Canadian re-
broadly for more liberia! reciprocal
treaties with all nations which would
open European markets to American
meats and grains and incidentally as
could be negotiated with Canada which
would be advantageous to our country
he stated plainly at the time hat
he assumed that no such treaty would
be negotiated unless it We're advantage
eous to the interests of our own coun-
try. LATE accused Cunmins of pro-
posing TO trade the protection of Iowa
farmers for concessions to eastern
manufacturers and with the help Of the
old Blythe newspapers the lie was made
20 stick long enough 10 control the
March convention. CumminS has since
gone to the senate and the country has
failed TO discover any desire on his part
20 destroy the interests of his own
constituency.
Now the country has seen a tariff law
revised under the logrolling method and
it has seen Senator Aldrich corrall
enough enators in support of a bill to
pass it by taking care of the protected
interests of the east at the xpens OF
the great middle west. The insurgents
like cunmins demanded that each
merits and since their contention has
received an overwhelming endorsement
by the people who voted in this falls
general election even President Taft
has been won over to the insurgent de-
mand. But when Cummins proposes a
rule which shall compel schedules to
be considered separately LATE revives
his oldtime useful scare that Cummins
again proposes to trade away the Iowa
farmer and he delivers a speech which
is intended 20 deceive an electorate in
the 1912 primary with the same sue
cess with which it was worked in the
spring campaign of 1908. The Canad-
ian reciprocity hurnbug is to be repeat
ed. 1t scared the farmers n c why not
again?
