THE PUSHING OF REC|PR0cTl
Prince Of Illinois Asserts that C'ars
and His Followers are Behind
Hidden Motive.

WASHINGTON. Another desciaration
that annexation is the desired end OF
the democrats in pushing reciprocity
and a speech by a new member.Of the
house, revealing the humorous Tea
lures of a tariff fight in congress-
were the principal events OF FRIDAY $
debate on the free list bill now pend
ing before the house.
Mr.. Prince Of Illinois. republican.
attacking the Canadian reciprocity
bill. sounded the annexation note.
President Taft's speech in New YORK
Thursday night furnished his text. he
said that the pouring OF Americans
into the Canadian northwest and the
attitude of the controlling forces OF
the democratic party could mean
nothing else than annexation, reci
procity and partial free trade WITT
Canada being the first step toward
that end.

as we'll understand it. The speaker
has said so; the party back of him
has said SO and it does not deny that
that is its desire.
Mr.. Prince declared that the reel
procity was the worst bargain ever
driven by one nation with another
and 1.-The democratic farmers Tree
list" ought to be labeled the farm
ers' fake bill.
The humor of the session came
when Representative Kent OF Caliior-
MIA. a new republican member who
succeeded Duncan Mckinley in the
house, delivered speech on the gen.
eral tariff question arraigning "A rev.
enue upon necessities.
He said that with other novices In
the house he felt sure he had alb
sorbed speeches until he had Learned
much that cannot possibly be true.
and that the Congressional Record
was filled with a mass of mathemat-
les proving what is logically alb
surd."

been required to hustle for their live

to a ward in the hospital where our

Mr.. Kent said that a protective tar

consenting to the reciprocal picking
of pockets by all the people.
To show tariff inequalities Mr.. Kent
said that MIR. Rockefeller probably

Il remained for William A. Davis,

was another. When the railroad was
built the task all came to the st. 10

these mails could be distributed while
