lican national convention calling for free
trade in our real competitive products and
retaining a duty on those practically non
competitive. / know of no caucus of our
party, house or senate, that he said that
all the protection the farmers have enjoyed
shan bSrefnoyed without removing OF paw
ing the way for the removal Of ali other
protective duties. f
ITO our republican friends who favor this
proposition and still desire protection on
articles in which they are interested. 1
recall the chEaIrous offer Of Arternus
Ward, who was ready to sacrifice all his
wife's relatives to put down the rebellion
History does not recall what the relatives
said when the proposition was put to them
and history is yet to be written what the
great northwest, where republican congress
sional votes. as the results Of last falls
election, are thickest will do after the
final passage Of this act should It re-
ceive material republican assistance.
Unfair discrimination may be endured
from the majority during the brief bien-
MUM Of their incumbency. but such ds-
elimination by republicans should never be
tolerated. There 10 not an owner of a
thousand bushels OF wheat who would risk
It's marketing on the proposition of the gem
tleman from North Carolina, but millions
will be marketed upon the basis OF the
proposition OF the gentlemen from Mime
sofa. ~ ~
do you think for a moment had the
majority last fall declared for this you
now endorse-that is throw down our bars
to Canada-that you would be in g ma
jority today2 No. Tammany and Dixie
would not have been given an opportunity
to combine against the country.
II asked one Of my democrat farmer
friends II he thought should, in the In
terest of my neghbar farmers, vote for
the treaty. He said. Should the chicken
vote for the axe?' While we speak Of cat
tie, recall that under the Payne bin they
got our hides-noW they want 10 get bur
oarcaSses. / hear the threat Of free raw
wool. Mr.. Farmer. prepare for your In

Representative Prouty who defeated Cap
tain Hull Of the Des Moines district, after
three trials came out flat-footed against
the reciprocity treaty today, his maiden
effort bringing him congratulations from
his colleagues OF the Iowa delegations and
from republicans generally,
Judge Kinkaid resents stories being
printed IN some OF the state papers that
The does not know where he is at" as 10
reciprocity On the cantrary Representa-
tive Klnkaid said today that he would vote
against reciprocity unless sentiment in his
district changed very radically In the next
twenty-four hours. AS matter OF fact
Judge Kinkaid has no pronounced sentir
ment either for or against reciprocity 10
guide him in casting his vote and he pro-
poses to cast Il as he believes is acceptable
to the largest number Of his constituents
when they come to understand It's import
fully.
He has received two or three letters from
constituents urging him TO vote for REQ
iproeity, but against any change In sched-
ule *" the vol schedule. He has let
ters from quite as many farmers urging
him 10 vote against reciprocity and he
proposes 10 follow'the line of least resis-
lance and cast his vote with his fellow re-
publeans for Nebraska against the Ca
madam pact.
