SAY POTASH AGREEMENT
IS VICTORY FOR GERMANY
Syndicate to Furnish Fertilizers at
Home Cheaper Than
Abroad.

HAMBURG. May 19.-1n the agreement
reached at the German-American potash
conference, the German potash syndicate,
according to authoritative German init
nations, won its contention to furnish
fertilizers for home agriculture cheaper
than those sold to foreign countries The
new contracts now being drafted are to
remain In force for five and half years.
They raise the prices of raw salts con-
siderably, and provide for further in
crease of three per cent during the term
of contract. The price Of concentrated
salts remains practically as 1t was before
the potash war began.
The American potash interest profits
by increased rebates averaging twelve
instead of nine per cent. German com
panies are entitled to sell potash directly
to the American market and American
firms are forbidden to purchase the prod
uct except through the German syndicate.
There Is no intimation that the settle
ment of the supercontingent tax will be
made public.
As the representatives of the American
potash interests throughout the negotia-
lions have consistently refused to talk 1T
is impossible to confirm the above state
ment.
The German press generally regards the
settlement of the potash dispute as a
German victory, attributing 1t 10 the
change in the attitude OF Washington
which government, they say, withheld the
support expected by the Americans. and
TO a desire of the United States govern
ment not to provoke tariff hostilities.

TREATY UNDER FIRE
Earl of SeIbOrne CritiCiSeS Ca
madam Reciprocity.
SPEECH IN HOUSE OF LORDS
Baron Lucas. Under Secretary of
War Office, Defends British
Governments Attitude.

LONDON. May 19.-The government
was sharply criticised by the Earl of Sell
borne in the house of lords last evening
for extraordinary supneness in failing
to safeguard the interests of the United
kingdom in the American-Canadian reci-
procfty agreement The earl referred
to President Taft's very remarkable
speech and declared that when Mr..
Taft said annexation talk was bosh all
accepted the Presidents word: neverthe-
less. the agreement formed a precedent
capable of very large extensions.
1t was the first time in the history of
the empire that one part had obtained
better terms from a foreign country than
had the United Kingdom, and the step
, between receiving and giving better terms
was short one. If the Dominion got ac-
customed TO receiving better terms it
might come 10 think that it was natural
TO give foreign countries better terms
than ii gave the United Kingdom or the
other dominions.
Ratification of the agreement. the earl
concluded, would place this country in
a position of extraordinary difficulty.
Damage Greatly Overestimated.
Baron Lucas. parliamentary under sec
rotary to the war office, replying for
the government. said the Earl of Sell
horne greatly overestimated the damage
10 the trade of the United Kingdom and
the difficulties that might arise from the
reciprocity agreement Canada was per-
fectly within her statutory rights, and
the government could not interfere. The
United Kingdom could never offer Can
ada the same advantages as could the
United States
If Canada and the United States
wanted a reciprocity agreement. this
country could not prevent 1t. Great
Britain must give Canada a fair field
for promoting her own prosperity as
she thought best
War Secretary Haldane. who recent
iy was elevated to the peerage, said
that it was the policy of the govern
ment to give the people Of Canaca
every facility TO do the best they could
for themselves. The government
held that it was not to the disadvan-
tage of the United Kingdom that Can
ada should develop trade relations with
the United States.
Regarded as Good Move.
I'VE hold" continued the secretary,
that Canada with a great trade of
this kind cannot fail to be more
prosperous Canada, affording q better
market for our goods and able to DO
more trade with ourselves. Therefore,
from every point Of view, we look upon
the step she is taking as probably a
very good step in our interests, as well
as in the interests OF Canada 1t is
not for us to intermeddle in her policy
We do not think 1t a good thing TO at
tempt to guide or influence the policy
Of our great dominions in matters OF
trade. We are free traders, and we
intend to remain free traders"

a sentiment-the sentiment that
a husband should not revere and
honor the memory of his beloved
wife-is born of depravity of
mind and heart.
It is intolerable.
The Clarion will quote two or
three articles bearing on the sub
ject.
The first is from the Donald

Gle is quoted from the Times
Democrat, the leading champion
Of the Good Government League.
Here are the comments of the
Chief, and the editorial of the
Tines Democrat:
E A OF MRS. JOHN T.
MICHEL.
"A heavy affection has fallen
upon Hon. John T. Michel, one
of the candidates for governor
of Louisiana in the pending cam
paign. His beloved wife, who
had been in failing health for
some time, passed away on Sat
urday. the 9th inst, mourned by
all who knew her as one who full

dorsement of his candidacy for
the highest Office in the state.
1T goes without saying that
Mr.. Michel's refusal to attend
the Donaldsonville meeting, with
which his candidacy for COVER
nor has been formally opened,
needs no explanation. It was a
tribute paid to his beloved dead,
and to the sacredness of home
ties, that every chivalrous Louis
ianian will appreciate, and the
Picayune ventures to predict
that every person present at
Donaldsonville will respect and
honor John T. Michel the more
for his absence, under the cir
cumstances, than they would
have done because of his pres
ence under other and more low
full conditions. The deep respect
for a desolate home, and the
tender memories of a true Chris
tan wife departed, are expIana-
tons that will appeal to every
heart, and Nh. Michel's act in
secluding himself at SO impor-
tant a time for his interests will
stamp him in the minds of every
true Louisianian as the proper
sort of man to guide the destinies
Of a great state"

EVILS OF PRESENT
HIGH PROTECTIVE
TARIFF.

Judson G.. Welliver, one of the
very few Washington newspaper
and magazine writers who write
what they think, has an article
in Hampton's Magazine this
month which is Of especial in
terest, now that President Taft
has vetoed the cotton bill. This
article is an account of how the
cotton millionaires keep up their
fat dividends, amounting in some
instances to one hundred per
cent annually, and at the
same time continue to plead for
high tariff, without which they
contend they will starve to death.
MI. Welliver begins his article
with a photograph of one James
Nicholas Brown, aged eleven,
whose wealth is estimated in the
hundreds of millions, every cent
of which was made out Of the
highly protected New England
cotton manufacturing industry.
In 1908, the panic year" Mr..
WelIiver writes, the cotton
trust calmly paid its usual fat
dividends. True, its undergrad
labor had to suffer sharp reduc-
tons; true, the wearer of its
products had to pay increased
prices. But that was unimpor-
tant to the cotton millionaires.
They would have their dividends,
and they got them. They had
the power to extort them. They
pay as low wages and
charge as high prices as they
chose. The tariff wall held them
in their domination. SEN

the state, irrespective of party
or fractional lines, goes out to Mr.,
Michel in his great bereavement,
and no more touching expression
of this sentiment has been given
than is contained in the following
editorial from the New Orleans
Times-D Democrat, a consistent op-
|ponent of MI. -Michel's guberna-
torial candidacy:
The private sorrows Of one
in public life have in them a
peculiar poignancy, for it is as if
even his grief must be shared
with the public.
AT times Of death one would
ever wish to draw the curtain
and remain quite alone with ones
sadness.
We think of this in the case
of John 7. Michel, to whom our
sympathy goes out in his hour Of
bereavement.

GHOLISH in CRITICISM
OF HON. JOHN 7.
Michel.
Even the Times-D Democrat Does
Not Agree With the Inhuman
Peanut Politicians Who Are
Blaming Mr.. Michel for Not.
Attending the Donaldson
Vile Meeting.

The Clarion joins the higher
type of voters and citizens of the
State of Louisiana in sympathy
with Mr. John T. Michel in his
bereavement.
Even if the Clarion were OPP
posed to Mr.. Michel, it could not
let its political inclination in
fuence it in c~ondemning a man
who just lost a life (the lost of a
wife is a life) for not appearing
in public, acclaimed by brass
bands and other gayeties.
The Clarion believes that such
