Mr. Galley asked Senators Root,

agreed with his first proposition that
the participation OF IA senator In
bribery accompanying his election
renders void his election. All Of them
nodded assent
There was more ceremony In connec-

The An Hui representatives to the
China national assembly have ex-
pressed their gratitude to Mr.. Calhoun
for American aid The local Chinese
officials and missionaries, the minister
added, are cooperating In rendering
aid. The southern section of the Tien

AS relief work, the Chinese govern
ment has begun dredging portions OF
canals, building railways and con-
structing branch railways. These are

NATIONAL GRANGE
SENDS REPLY
TO WILSON
FARMERS GREAT ORGANIZATION
STRONGLY OPPOSES CANA.
DIAN RECIPROCITY.

Concord. n. H.. Feb. 1.-THE pro-
posed Canadian reciprocity agreement
is attacked In n letter sent today to
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson
by former Governor Nahum ]. Bachcl
der OF this city, national master OF
the National Grange. The letter Is
n reply to the communication favoring
the agreement sent by Secretary Will
son to Mr.. Bachelor on February 3.
Mr.. Bachelor says the agreement
Is unfair to the farmers of the United
States. who TASK for nothing but II
square deal" The letter addressed to
Secretary Wilson said in part:
Reverse of Actual Conditions.
You attempted To defend the con-
tinnance of high tariff for manu-
faeiures along with free trade for the
farmers. by claiming II Is the workers
who furnish the farmers with their
chief market. You are simply repeat
ing the pet argument of the manu-
facturers and claiming what Is exact
ly the reverse of actual conditions.
1t IL on the prosperity of the farmers
that the welfare Of all other classes
manufacturers, merchants, transporta-
tion interests and factory workers
depend. The sole question before the
American people Is whether we shall
have free trade In all farm products
and high protection for manufactured
articles
You know the price of farm land
Is much less in Canada than in the
United States. You know that the
Canadian farmer buys his manu-
factured articles cheaper because his
tariff duties on foreign goods are
lower. And yet, knowing all this, you
would strike down the very moderate
tariff, averaging about 20 per cent,
which they now receive without Civ
ing them the benefit of any real re-
duction in duties on manufactures.
Deceived by Special Interests.
I'VE can only conclude that you
have been deceived by the special in
terests which have cunningly plotted
to allay the country wide c,amnr for
an honest revision of the tariff, bs
making the farm the scapegoat for the
sins of the high protection system.
do you not know that the steel
trust sold last year I'm Canada more
than 1o0,000.000 pounds of wire and
that we bought no wire from Canada
DO you not know that Canada pro-
duces practically no wire and tthat
with the duty on Canadian wire abol-
iished we wolld not import one pound ?
"You refer To the advantages to our
