ers of such amendments do not desire
openly to assume. 1t may be that the
Canadian contract does not go far
enough. In making it we We're limited
by the reluctance of Canada to go as
far as we would wish To have her go;
but the fact that j .ioes not go far
enough is the poorest reason for not GO
ing as far as we can. We We're making
contract. We were balancing considera-
tons, were not making a general tariff
law or a general tariff revision.
/ appeal to this company, representing
as it does the press of the United States
to see to it that it is made clear to the
public that this contract ought to stand
or fall by its own terms, and that its
passage or defeat ought not to be affect
ed in any regard by other amendments
TO the tariff law. Such method is a re-
currence to the old way of making a tar
II bill, which has been properly criticized
and condemned, by which its passage is
not secured on the merits of particular
schedules, but by the support that may
be secured in the House or Senate
through giving a tariff on particular pro-
duets of particular localities. l think
there is a general sentiment now in ia
vor of revising the tariff, schedule by
schedule. and of making this revision de-
pendent on exact information as to each
schedule. gathered by impartial investi-
gators. To amend this Canadian contract
and to make its passage dependent on
other tariff legislation is to continue the
old method of tariff revision character
lied, not without reason. as local issue.
I have said that this was a critical
time in the solution of the question of
reciprocity. 1t is critical because. unless
il is now decided favorably to reciprocity,
it is exceedingly probable that no such
opportunity will ever again come to the
United States. The forces which are at
work in England and in Canada to sepa-
rate her by a Chinese wall from the
United States and to make her part of an
imperial commercial band reaching from
England around the world to England
again. by a system of preferential tariffs
will derive an impetus from the rejection
of this treaty, and if We would have reel
procity with all the advantages that
have described and that / earnestly and
sincerely believe will follow its adoption,
we must take it now or give 1T up for
ever.

New York, April 27.-This was an
other day of activity for President
Taft Although he did not retire,
until after o'clock this morning, he
attended today no less than four din
ners and one luncheon extending fren
l T. NJ, until midnight. Yet he had
time for an automobile ride this aft
ernocn, with brief conferences with
local political leaders sandwiched be-
tween.
The luncheon was held ut the resi-
dence Of Henry Clews, the New York
banker, Where the Presidents health
was drank by representative gath
ering as the leaders of the Interna
tional Peace Movement Tonight he
attended successfully the joint dinner
of The American Newspaper Publish
er's Association and The Associated
Press; a banquet of the Methodist
Social Union, dinner of the Aero
nautical Society, and lastly, bus
mess Mans Dinner given to J. Van
Vechten Olcott. At each gathering
he delivered an address, but was of
necessity brief of utterance as the
night were on.
'SiSiI guests ATTENDED the
Methodist Social Union dinner and to
them the President delivered "a special
message to- the Methodists"
Count Leo Tolstoi was to have spoken
but cut short his visit to this country
and sailed for Russia Saturday. The
President reviewed the pleasant relations
which he had had with the denomination,
especially while he was governor of the
Philippines. Looking upon the gathering
with the ladies seated at the tables, while
at the newspaper mems dinner they were
in the galleries. he said: "Methodism is
militant Christianity, but there Is moth
ing in the militant spirit which prevents
you from enjoying the sweets of associa-
tion.''
When few minutes later, after quick
automobile transit, the President was
ushered into the grand ball room at the
Hotel Astor, he found himself in a ver-
liable aerodrome. At every height and
angle hung the miniatures of countless
aeroplanes, balloons and airships.
Il look forward" said the President.
''to the day which may come soon.
when YOU provide an airship which
will safely carry men of my avoirdu-
uois.''
The aeroplane had already become
| invaluable for scout duty. the Presi-
dent said, but its great development
was yet to come.
