An exchange says,(

this world for a man 10 under

The same number Of votes which
would be needed to attach the
free list bill to the reciprocity
bill would suffice to bring the
free list bill OUT Of the Finance
Committee and pass it as an in
dividual measure. Therefore, 1t
can not be an affection for the
free list bill, but an enimity for
the reciprocity bill that inspires
the desire to splice them into one
measure. The fact that the men
who are promoting this scheme
had already announced their UNI
dying opposition to the recipro-
city bill would Of itself be sur
ficient evidence of their hypocri-
sy. If there was any likelihood
that the President would approve
the reciprocity bill, with the free
list bill attached, most Of these
same Senators would be foremost
in opposing the merger OF the
two measures. Instead Of favor
ing, as they pretend, a larger
measure of tariff reform than the
reciprocity bill provides, they
are opposed to even as much as
thatb i'll would yield. 1t is one Of
those hypocriticaI tricks that are
often witnessed in the Senate and
it would be rather amusing as the
antics Of the ostrick are amusing,
if il did not imply that the Amer
lean people lack the intelligence
to appreciate the dishonesty OF
the motive that inspires it
81 am convinced says Sena-
tor Gallinger, raukest Of Stand
patters and foremost among the
opponents of reciprocity, that
when this bill passes there are
many republicans on this side
who will join the Democrats IN
kicking out the foundation stones
Of the protective tariff system.
We shall be fortunate if the
whole structure Of protection
does not fall" Can the man who
would mar the prospect even in
the slightest degree pretend that
he is sincerely eager to stop the
robberies that have been commit
ted in the name of protection The
man who under those circnn-
stances does protest his sincerity
impeaches his own intelligence.
The dog that dropped his bone
to crap at its shadow has ever
since been accounted a very fool
ish canine, and yet his folly does
not greatly exceed that Of the sin
cere tariff reformer who would
jeopardize the fate Of the recipro-
city bill in the hope Of getting the
free list bill. With the reciprocity
measure passed, the free list bill

It was stated that in every state

Governor Carroll was thrown large

and on the second page he was quoted
in his own paper in specific words as

and stood squarely for putting It up TO

Now Governor Carroll keeps a file
