Among the noteworthy points re.
eAfding the passage Of the Canadian
bill through congress is the fact that

dent Taft and his administration. the
BIN received the affirmative votes OF

Mississippi Valley, the votes Of only
three Republican senator's were cast

Callom. Of Illinois, and Townsend. Of
Michigan.
The greatest strength that an,
amendment could muster, in the ef
forts Of the opponents Of the bill {,
change its character, was that show,
By the vote on the amendments OF
Tered By Senator Nelson, Of Minnesota
the object Of which was to restor,
half the present rates on cereals, liy,
cattle. ETC., instead Of removing tn,
duties entirely as is proposed in tn,
Canadia bill ~ it passed. The Mel
a1oa sa0Gndments mustered the vote,
- q - its support. Practically ali
other amendments received from 4
1ossa TO Is votes.
Every element Of nature and OF
grace smiled upon the final passage
Of reciprocity. 1t was II o'clock sharr
when Vice-President James Sherman
called the senate to order. At 1920

tagging senators to their seats. Al

At 1881 Senator Nelson, of Mime

ment field for grains and farm prod
uce and at 11:4O o'clock So senators
had defeated his rider. Senator Sim
mons. of North Carolina, sailed In with
MS plea for fresh meats and -four. Ger
eals at 11:42, and In eight minutes
MS amendment was downed, also BY
"a to IA. Then Senator Cummins pre-
scented an amendment on iron and
steel and another on oilcloth and lin
oleum. 1t was killed II to Ga.
Then Senator La Toilette, who hal
been one of the strongest opponents
Of reciprocity, sent forward his amend
nents on the wool schedule and cot
ton schedule. And with unruffled Sc
renity the senate sat upon him. "a t.
ID. and 63 to Is. La Toilette then of
fered a strange and apparently propri
tiatory amendment. making wood putt
and print paper free with all the
world. But it won only II votes.
Free List as Handicap.
Senator Bailey, of Texas. offered the
free list as handicap to the bill.
He lest, Is to GO. Then Bailey, with
defiance to his Democratic colleague
Of the cotton states, played his master
stroke.
Il offer as an amendment to put cot.
ton bagging and ties upon the free
