President Taft's Response.

Certainly said the President. Il have
no disposition to, interfere with the
prosperity of those who make up the bone
and sinew Of our population-the farm
ers-and 1 am convinced that l am in no
way Interfering with it. If l am-if we
carry through this treaty, and it turns
out that it does produce the injury that
you anticipate, it can be repealed by a
single Congress. 1t does not last longer
than either side declares it to last. l
am convinced that after 1t has been given
one year'e trial neither side will think OF
reversing 1t. That is my conviction. l
cannot go into an argument.
You say that the republican farmers
are going to desert us II we put II
through. I am very sorry If that Is to be
the case, because 1 have a personal Tx
ing for the republican farmers Just lit
tie mite stronger than for the democratic
farmers, although they are all citizens of
the United States, whose welfare l must
hold equally in my care.

Appeals to the Future.

II am not arguingI am merely stating
my conclusion. II 1 did not believe this,
should not have taken the responsibility
of doing what l have done to put this
reciprocity treaty through. I am willing
to abide by the Judgment of history-the
judgment that will come after the event.

suit 1 believe that You, as fair-minded
men, will admit that you have been wrong
in your fears and that have been right"

Imports From United States.

1.-The colony I represent is now i'm
porting very largely from the United
States and in return the United States is
taking many Of the products or my coun-
try. We are rapidly developing new in
dustries. many OF which would be bene-
fetal to the United States under any
tariff agreement of the reciprocity order.
The great mineral wealth of Newfound-
land is only just beginning to regain
recognition.
I'VE want to develop a trade in fresh
fish by cold storage. The supply OF
halibut, herring salmon. lobster and other
fish IL practically unlimited. big bust
ness could be developed in this way"

Convinced of Benefits.

But my conviction with respect to the
advantage of this treaty is very deep So
far as the effect of this on my. personal
political fortunes. 1t ought not to in
fluence me and does not influence me in
the slightest. l believe this treaty to be
the best thing for the whole country. in
Guiding farmers. merchants. laboring men
and all. because l believe it is contrary
to nature. it is flying in the face of Prov
idence. to put an artificial wall like that
between this country and Canada, and
not get the benefits that will inure to peo-
pies of the same traditions the same Ian
guage and practically with the same char
acter of labor. If we take down that wall we
will benefit by it, for we shall sell more
agricultural products to Canada than she
will sell to U.S. We do now and we shall
sell her even more after the treaty goes
into effect. That is my judgment.

HOPES FOR FULL SHARE

Newfoundland Expects to
Benefit Under the Agree

NEW YORK. May 9.-That Newfound-
land hopes to be admitted to a full share
in the reciprocity agreement between the
United States and Canada is the an
nouncement Of Sir Edward Morris, the
Newfoundland premier. who is in New
York on his way to the coronation.
Il have followed the tariff situation as
it is now developing between the United

upon between the two countries New
foundland will be treated as is Canada
and placed on the same footing.

'TAFT'S FIRM STAND.
Reiterates His Views on Ca
madam Agreement.
Benefit TO UNITED STATES
In Address to Changers President
Says Reciprocity Is Best for
Both Countries.

President Taft yesterday afternoon ex-
planned to twenty-five members Of the
National Grange that he does not intend
to play politics with the Canadian reci-
procity agreement even If the enactment
of that measure by Congress costs him
the farmer vote.
The President told the visitors bluntly
that he was sorry to hear that republic
can farmers would desert the party If
the agreement goes through, but fear Of
such desertion would not change his con-
victions as to the wisdom of such legis-
lation. He said he believed reciprocity
to be the best thing for the whole coun-
try and that he did not intend to argue it.
The frank expression of his views was
called forth when the delegation Of
grangers appeared before the President
and presented their opposing views. at
reception accorded number of tourists
in Washington. The little debate took
place in the east room of the White
House!
Spokesman Gives Views.

lican votes are likely to be lost II 1t is
