TAFT SPEAKS
FOR RECIPROCITY
Answers Arguments By g. o. 2.
Against Ratification Of Trade
Agreement With Canada

INDIANAPOLIS. July 5.-President
Taft put the parting touch on his
part in the celebration OF this city's
safe and sane" Fourth In speech
on Canadian reciprocity at the Mar
ion club banquet last night. The
president made his answer TO the
argument Of other Republicans that
reciprocity, as he has proposed II, Is
not good Republican doctrine, but
Democratic doctrine.
He showed that reciprocity as pre-
scented to congress by him differed, IL
at all, only slightly from reciprocity
former President Mckinley. He said
the contention of the opponents Of
his reciprocity plan that the doctrine
Ii unrepublican because It Affects ar
ticks that are competitive and not
merely non-competitive articles 10 not
sound.
THE sound Republican doctrine"
the president said, has become the
imposition of duties only where the
conditions are naturally unequal, and
where duties are necessary I'm order
to enable our manufacturers and
other producers TO meet on a level
the competition OF foreign producers.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
which has been made squares exactly
with this doctrine"
- Replying to the contention that re.
ciprocity would be made wholly at
the expense Of the farmer and In the
interest OF the wage Garner OF the
large cities, Mr. Taft said that In his
judgment "the reciprocity agreement
will not greatly reduce the cost OF
living, IL at ALL"
1T WILL" the president continued,
steady prices by enlarging the re-
serves OF supplies for those things
that are raised in both countries and
Il will make more remote the pos.
sibility OF cornering commodities and
extorting excessive prices for them
from the public"
The complaint that the farmers
would suffer by the agreement, the
president said when analyzed,' would
be found to be an argument that the
admission OF Canadian wheat free Of
duty would lower the price of wheat
raised In the United States 10c a
bushel
THE answer TO this argument" he
said, is that this cannot be for the
reason that the price Of wheat In the
United States and Canada both In ul-
timately fixed by the price OF wheat
in the world, and that the worlds
prices are adjusted and made at Liy-
erpool by the relation Of the supply
of the exported wheat to the demand
for Il by countries which do not raise
enough TO supply their people"
