REVIEWS TARIFF HISTORY

Says the Original Idea Was To Build
Up Infant industries, but Declares
No Such Necessity Exists at the
Present Time-MccaI (Rep., Mass.)
Also Speaks In Favor of Ratifying
the Agreement.
Washington, April 22.-"Heralding
the era of honest competition" Rep.
resentatiye Oscar w. Underwood Of
Alabama, chairman of the ways and
means committee, closed the debate
on the Canadian reciprocity agree.
ment in the house.
The enactment of the reciprocity
bill into law, he said, would mark the
end of the period of exclusion" in
the economic policy of the country
insofar as customs laws affect the in
dustrial conditions of the nation.
For fifty years" he said, ''the Re
publican party has maintained the pol.
Icy of excluding from the home mar
ket. as far as it has been able to do
SO. competitive products from other
countries. In the beginning this policy
was inaugurated with the express
declaration that 1t was intended to de-
velop new industries until they were
strong enough to stand alone and face,
In the open, the markets of the world
and the rivalry of our protective COM
petitors, but the greed for gain has
driven the advocates of the theory
far beyond the position they main
tanned at its inception. Today there
Is hardly a great American industry
that Is not exporting its surplus prod,
ucts to the open markets of the world
and selling them in free competition
with the manufacturers and crops of
our foreign competitors.
Desires Free Competition.
"We would be unrivalled masters
of production and industry in every
land where free competition can be
obtained il we would but strike off
the shackles that bind us to the dead
and unnecessary economic system
maintained by the Republican party,
that creates false standards and
wasteful conditions at home"
In reviewing recent tariff legisla-
tion Mr.. Underwood declared that
"our standpat Republican friends
were responsible for having the reci.
procity agreement now before the con.
gress. The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill
he characterized as gold brick that
glittered without and was false metal
within" When ii came to applying
the tariff to Canada, he said, that the
president dared not impose the maxi
mum rate on Canadian products" a
condition which led up to the Albany
tariff conference with the Canadian
/ agents and subsequent negotiations
for reciprocity"
~ Representative s. w. Mccall OF
Massachusetts, in discussing the past
declared that the farmers of the Unit
Fed States had been pushed forward
to hide the real interests opposed tC
the agreement. Mr.. McCall's speech
favoring reciprocity, was one OF the
most important Of the discussion. He
had charge OF the bill in the last con
gress.

THOUGHT OF wAsHING-pky.
The clothes line is a Rosary
OF household help and care;
Each little saint the Mother loves
Is represented there.
And when across her garden plot
She walks, with thoughtful heed,
/ should not wonder If she told
Each garment for bead.
For Celia's scarlet stockings hang
Beside Amelia's skirt,
And Bilbo's breeches, which OF late
Were sadly smeared with dirt.
yon kerchief small wiped bitter tears
For ill-success at schools
This pinafore was torn in strife
'Twixt Fred and little julie.
And that device of finer web.
And over-costly lace,
Adorned our eldest when she danced
At some gay fashion place.
A stranger passing, salute
The Household in its wear,
And smile to think how near of kin
Are love and toll and prayer.
