agreement was merely an attempt of n
Republican administration to arrest
the revolt OF the Republican voters
in New England. and would never
have been presented had not Maine
massachusetts and Connecticut gone
democratic last November But the
strongest point made by Mr.. Glass
against the treaty was with respect TO
the print paper and wood pulD cIanse
He charged that this clause Contained
a Joker similar to that in the PAYNE
Aldrich tariff act. and that not a news
paper IN the United States would de-
rive one particle of advantage from
the so-called reciprocal agreement
Mr.. Glass vehemently opposed the
proposition to commit Democratic
