ing his remarks concerning the Can. y
adian reciprocity matter, Senator
Gamble devoted himself somewhat to Il
the principle OF the protective tariff
Folicy and warned the senate that
there should be no attack for reduc-
tions on that principle. The following
Is an extract from his speech: Since
the inauguration Of the protective
policy by the republican party we
have accumulated and added to our
material wealth upward of s110, ,00O,
100000, which is practically one
fourth of the wealth OF civilization.
Under the same policy and the
range of prices therefor from the
wealth of the soil our agricultural
production is the greatest in value
each year OF any people In the world.
There has been built up under the
same system our manufacturing es-
Establishments that produce each year
practically e.third Of the manufac.
trred product of the world. AZ a
result our export trade exceeds that
of any Of the governments of civili-
zation. We therefore should take
care that the matter now In hand 4
should not invade the protective prinS
ciple Of the party and imperil the
prosperity of any class Of our people
or overthrow through this process
the bnlwark OF protection that has
made possible our marvellous devel-
1 opment and accomplishments. '

: Senator Gronna of North Dakota,
, drew the attention of the capitol to
r himself during his speech this week
5 concerning Canadian reciprocity.The
: senator opposed the measure on the
2 ground that it twas unfair to the
) farmers of the country. The princi-
: pal feature of his remarks concerned
( the successful efforts of President
:, Taft to put over" Canadian reciproc-
: fty land Washington is wondering
} how long it will be before the senat-
ors who have met failure upon this
measure, will stop their scolding.
, At the beginning of the present
, year one post Office in each state was

About year ago the Merchants
: Association of Now Y6rk started a
movement against the express com
