MEANS TAFT'S REELECTION
Congressman Butler Ames Dis
cusses Defeat of Reciprocity.

by Telegraph to The Tribune.
Lowell Mass. Sept. 23.-Congressman
Butler Ames. in speaking to-day Of the
DEBATE Of the proposed reciprocity in Can
ada said
II a surprise 10 me that reciprocity
was defeated IN the Canadian Dominion.
The majority of a people act for what they
believe is their best interest, and on that
account II may be said not to be surpris-
ing how the Canadians, considered this i'm
portant question.
I believe the defeat of reciprocity in
Canada insures President Tafts re-elec-
ton The rejection Of the measure by the
Canadians should show the opponents Of
reciprocity in the United States that there
was some benefit in il for Americans. and
on that account was not acceptable 10
voters in the British provinces.
I think il will also result in giving US
a better wool bill. II was said by oppo-
nents Of reciprocity in the West that II
by treaty with Canada we aided in re-
moving certain duties on their products
they would retaliate by removing duties
on goods in which Eastern manufacturers
were interested. The defeat Of reciprocity
10y Canada removes the fear that duties
on Western products will be removed, and
the Westerners will be inclined 20 have a
bill on woOlen goods drafted according
to the lines OF = protective tariff.

The violation Of agreements between

The Presidents day began with a
breakfast as the guest Of the Mercantile
Club, where he sat at the table with
Governor Hadley. Ambassador Kerens,
Ex-Governor Folk and other prominent
men Of the city and state.
The President referred 20 Canadian
reciprocity and said he had had too Tong
experience as a lawyer not 10 realize
that when a decision has been handed
down which hits one between the eyes
il is time to regard it as a closed issue.
He had believed reciprocity would prove
beneficial 10 both nations. 4 majority
of the Canadian people had believed
otherwise. and there was nothing 10 do
but abide the result At least it could
not be said that the United States had
the worst Of the bargain, and those who
have long clamored for the Republican
party to effect such an agreement must
now realize the truth Of the oft repeated
assertion that Canada did not want reci-
procity with the United States
More than four hundred prominent
business men of ST. Louis had gathered
at the early hour Of = o'clock 10 attend
the breakfast, and there was nothing
half-hearted in the enthusiasm with
which they received their guest.
Following the breakfast the President
was taken for a long automobile ride
over handsome boulevards and a con-
siderable distance into the country, the
trip ending at the Sunset Inn. from the
balconies of which "A vista remarkable

his hat in response to their greetings.
At Washington University several hun

that his automobile proceed slowly that
he might the more effectually bow his

1t has leen said that members OF the

experts on tariff matters, and that they
have had years of dealing with tariff stat
made by members Of the Ways and Means
Committees everybody knows. II consists
in calling men engaged in the business ana
inviting their opinion as 20 the necessity for
a tariff and as TO whether IL should be low
cred or raised Such Investigations are the
very ones which have met the criticism Of
the public and have given rise 10 a demand
for a more scientific and impartial method
OF securing the facts upon the legislation
which is 70 be passed.
II is objected that with reference 10 the
cost Of production there can be no scien-
t!ic conclusion. II by this Is meant that
there will be found 10 be no exact mathe-
NAUTICAL measure Of the difference IN the
cost Of production Of goods I'm one country
and Of goods IN another. IL Is true. Condi-
tons vary in different states. in different
provinces, and in different counties. They
differ between different manufacturer, and
the difference in the cost Of production be-
tween two countries is therefore differ
enCe that cannot be stated with definite
ness. Ii must be a variable amount and
must be so stated, but when thus stated
with. variations it may, nevertheless, be ac-
Curate and just. and ought 10 be, so that
the tariff can be adjusted to the facts az
they are rather than TO the facts as inter
ested parties would state them.
The report Of the board on the paper and
pulp industry was Illuminating. II gave
the average cost OF production. with all
the elements. showed how IL differed be-
tween the mills In the same country and
between the mills of the two countries and
demonstrated that on the whole the real
average difference IN the cost Of prOduc-
