Ex- Governor E. Y SareS Shows How Farmers
Will Lose $5o000,0O0 By Reciprocity Agreement

Following is a copy of letter
written by Ex-Governor e. Y. Sarles
and sent to the secretary Of the Home
Market club. Boston, in answer to in
quiries as to conditions in North Da-
kota relative to Canadian reciprocity:
the perusal Of the "Protectionist,
March %, 1911.
Mr.. Albert Clark,
Boston. Mass.
Dear Sir:
Your letter Of March 18, with copy
of resolutions, also the copy Of "The
Protectionists," has been received.
I have been greatly interested in
the personal of the "Protectionist," !"
especially 80 with the articles on
this Canadian agreement.
The people Of our state are great
ly exercised over the matter; there
are but very few of either our farm
ers or business men in favor of It.
We are very positive that this meas
ure, II passed, will be costly one,
not only for North Dakota, but equal
ly so for Minnesota, South Dakota,
Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Kan
sas. Living, as we do, next to the
Canadian boundary, our people are
perhaps more familiar with Canadian
conditions than some of the other
states. We know, all our people
know, that land on our side of the
line is selling today and has sold for
the last few years from thirty per
cent to fifty per cent higher than
land Immediately adjacent, but just
across the line; that it would be
very conservative statement to make
that our prices for wheat have been
more than ten per cent higher for
the last five years than on the Cana
dian side. and with the exception of
1906. when the United States crop
was 35,000,000 bushels. Ceaying US
an approximate surplus for export Of
nearly 200,000.000 bushels) our north
western markets of Minneapolis and
Duluth have been above an export
basis and for the year 1910 the price
of wheat in Minneapolis has been
above the price of wheat in Liver
pool for the entire year. yet for
these last four years we have been
able to export our country's surplus
and at our price, not Lverpools. AS
a matter of fact we export none of
our high grade wheat. nor have we
for years. The Minneapolis millers
have been using quite large per-
centage of the winter wheat raised
in Kansas. Nebraska and Iowa for

state where you got that $500 will
noile this case, SO help ME God, if
1t is the last thing / ever do"
The defense objected to the state
ment made by MIR. Burke on the
grounds that they could not answer
and that the answer would be that
MI. Broderick could not do what the
states attorney suggested, as he
never received the $4,000. The OBJ
lection was sustained.
The Broderick case as one of the
many alleged bribery cases on which
members Of the general assembly
were indicted for alleged vote buy
ing.
John Broderick was charged in the
indictment which was returned by
the Sangamon county grand jury of
having given former State Senator
ID. w. Holstlaw $4,000 for his vote for
William Lorimer for the United
States senate.
The transaction was said to have
taken place in Broderick's saloon in
Chicago on June 16, 1909, shortly aft
er the election of Lorimer by the
Illinois legislature.
The conversation of Senators
HolstiaW and Broderick at the st.
Nichols hotel in this city OH the night
on May %, 1909, the eve OF the cleo
ton of Lorimer, in which Holstlaw
testified that Broderick said that
there was $4,000 in it for him if he
voted for Lorimer-a subsequent con-
versation said that Broderick told
him where his place of business was
the payment of the $4,000 in Brod-
erick's saloon, according to the testi-
mony of Holstlaw by Broderick, and
the deposit of $2,50O by Holstlaw in
the State Bank of Chicago on the
same morning, was the gist of the
evidence offered by the prosecution.
The defense introduced evidence to
show the unreliability of Holstlaw as
a witness, testimony to the effect
that no money changed hands at the
meeting of Broderick and Holstlaw,
a denial of Senator Broderick of the
conversation at the st. Nicholas ho-
tel the alleged attitude of the Chi
cago Tribune to destroy Lorimer.

means the end of the present political
regime of Mexico and the institution
of great reform. but still uncertain
as to the immediate results which
will follow the selection of a new

here declared that there will be no

Cabinet RESIGNS, )

Mexico City, March 24.-The Diaz
cabinet resigned yesterday. Follow
ing meeting of that body at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, every minister
rendered his resignation to Gen. Diaz.
As yet none Of the resignations have
been accepted, but on excellent au-
thority 1T ID stated that but two of the
ministers, and POSSIBLY not more than
one, will be asked to retain his port
folio. In diplomatic circles and among
high government officials it is as
sumed that Gen. Diaz will insist upon
Jose Yves Limantour remaining in
charge of the department Of finance.
The members Of the cabinet refused
to comment upon their action but it is
stated semi-officially that the initia-
tive was taken not by them, but by
the president, who, it is said, proposes
to surrender himself with younger
men in the hope that such action will
serve to unite all elements of the
nation.
1t is probable that the acceptance
Of the designations will be coincident
with the announcement Of the names
of the new members. This announce
ment may not be made for some days.
Who will compose the new cabinet
is not publicly known, but it may be
said they will be men who have not
taken prominent parts in government
affairs. Neither will it include any
who have been identified with the
revolutionary movement.
Announcement of the cabinet
changes has revived rumor that Gen.
Diaz has recalled Gen. Bernardo Reyes
from Europe, but this could not be
substantiated.
Reasons for Action.
The reason given for the action in
an official announcement is the belief
that it will contribute to the re-estab-
lishment of peace and facilitate the
reforms which are in contemplation.
Enrique c. Creel, minister of for
eign relations, presented the resigna
tions in behalf of. all of the ministers.
Gen. Diaz thanked the retiring men,
bers for their efficient and patriotic
cooperation in the past, and an
nounced that he would postpone his
acceptance or rejectance until later.
The designations included that Of
Ramon Corral as minister of the de-
partment of gobernacion, correspond
ing to the department Of the interior
in the United States. but not as vice
president.
Not one of the men who until today
formed President Diez' cabinet is less
than 65 years old, and several are
much older. With the exception Of
Enrique c. Creel, minister of foreign
affairs. all have been members for
many years, and this alone has been
one of the grievances Of the revolu-
tionists, who have insisted that the
chief executive should surround him
self with representatives Of younger
generation of men more closely in
touch with the affairs Of the people.
Those Who Resigned.
Following are those whose resigna-
tions we're received:
Enrique c. Creel, minister Of for
eign affairs; Ramon Corral, minister.
of the interior: Jose Yves Limantour,
minister of finance; Senor Molina,
minister Of fomento promotion of

Without exception all of these men
have contributed valuable services to
their country and their president, but
popular feeling against them has been
glowing steadily since long before the
beginning Of the revolution.
Ramon Corrall is not so old that his
age can be used as an argument
against his usefulness; but i'll health
in the last few months have served
the same purpose, and especially
when it is taken into consideration
that the man has not been popular
among the people from the ranks the
revOlutionists are drawn.
Creel is not by any means in the
decrepit class, but he, too, has fallen
under the displeasure of the forces
opposing the administration, and his
age serves as an excuse. What has
contributed more than age, however,
to his unpopularity among the masses
is the fact that he is a rich man and

men have accomplished much in their
