Chicago Taft in a
speech before the Western Economic

Trust and from American manufac-
turers of print paper.

subject, the President outlined some
of the methods employed by the
opponents of reciprocity, practically
told the farmers that they were be-
ing "buncoed" by special interests

ment rested not so much with the
United States as with the people of

If the farmer and the country at
large, he said, could be brought to
understand that this treaty was in
the interest of a majority of the peo-
pie, he would not longer fear the
coming vote in the Senate.
