Reciprocity PIanks.
Following are the planks of the re-
publican and democratic COMPRESSION
al conventions adopted, treating of re-
ciprocity:
Republican-We oppose the propos'
ed Canadian reciprocity treaty as be.
ing detrimental to the farming inter
ests of the country, and we pledge the
nominee of this convention to oppose
the adoption of said reciprocity meas
ure and urge our United States sena-
tors to use their influence and all
honorable means to prevent the pas
sage of said measure. We denounce
the proposed free list of the demo
cratic house of representatives as a
measure injurious to the interests OF
American industry and dangerous to
farm and shop.
Democratic-We commend the dem.
ocratic house of representatives upon
its support and passage of the bill
providing for reciprocal trade rela'
tions with Canada. Fair reciprocity
always has been a democratic doc
trine and with the pending trade
agreement, originated with republi-
can president, the democratic mem
bers fthe house, recognizing in 1t a
measure which, while not perfect,
opens the way for better trade rela-
tions and the extension of the Ameri-
can markets. have practically given
it their support. They have thus
demonstrated to the country that
they will place patriotism above the
purpose of tightening the burdens res.
ting upon the common people.
