mitted to the house the majority re-
port of that body OF the so-called
farmers free list BILL. The report is
an analysis Of the proposed duty e K
emptions and a Democratic political
argument.
The report shows that the Dill
would reduce the tariff revenue s1O.-
O16,495, based on importations for the
last fiscal year, an amount described
as 'inconsiderable in comparison with
the great saving and advantages to
all Of our people from the additions to
the free list provided"
The reciprocity agreement, the COM
mittee asserts, cannot afford the
American people all the needed relief
from high prices. action on the
agreement involves the necessity OF
further and immediate action in re-
moving a number Of duties on imports
from other countries in order that
Justice may be done to the great army
of agricultural producers who, in the
Canadian agreement. are to have all
the alleged protection removed from
their products without a correspond
ing or reciprocal removal of the pro-
tective duties on the commodities
they must purchase to sustain their
lives and industries"
Former Speaker Cannon vigorously
in a speech attacked Canadian recip-
rocity.
Aided by a large map OF the United
States and Canada. he played the role
Of schoolmaster to a crowded floor
and filled galleries. Mr. Cannon as
sailed the proposed agreement as dan
gerous to American trade, inimical
to the best interests of American
farmers and certain to result in
depreciation Of American farm lands.
Not since the war with Spain and
all that followed it has there been
considered by the house Of represent
atives SO important a bill as the n
now pending" he declared. ION the
action Of the house rests the well be-

founders of the state ever dreamed OF
when they placed the minimum selling
price at $40 an acre, with doubts in the
minds of many of them whether much
of it would ever sell at that price.
