SENATOR BROWN FOR
RECIPROCITY TREATY
Nebraskan Makes Speech De
precating the Attitude of
the Insurgents.

Washington, July Ex-senator
Kenyon spoke this afternoon on the
reciprocity agreement. In a brief
address in which he said he would
vote against the bill, he explained
his position. In substance it was
the same as he indicated some
days ago in an interview.
He said he did not believe the
agreement would be harmful to the
agricultural interests but, pointing
out that the majority of the farm
ers from Iowa believed il would
harm them, he commended it was
his duty to resolve the doubt in
their favor. In the course of his
speech he paid tribute to Ooliiver
and commended his tariff views.
Washington, July 2o.-Criticism or
his insurgent republican colleagues in
h n for opposing Canadian reci-
procity and praise of the democratic
party for having the moral courage
and patriotism to support and sustain
a republican president" characterized
a speech today of Senator Brown, of
Nebraska, in favor of the reciprocity
measure.
Il want to express my grief, my pro-
found grief" Senator Brown declared,

1T is beyond my comprehension to
appreciate how In one session OF on
gress l could vote for lower duties,
in the next session favor a revision
Of the tariff, a schedule AT a time, and
at a third session be against this prop
osition, which. while it is not a re-
vision of q single schedule is a revision
Of a few schedules not with ali the
countries Of the world. but with one
country; a plan that | believe marks
the beginning Of the end of extOrtion-
ate tariff duties in this country"
The speaker declared that it was not
President Taft, but a stubborn and
loquacious Senate that was responsible
for the extra session"
Senator Works, OF California, Insur-
gent republican, urged the passage Of
the Canadian reciprocity bill in a Wig
orous speech in the Senate today. He
expressed the belief that reciprocity
would not injure the farming interests
Of the nation except to cause some
temporary disturbance in border states
which would soon adjust themselves.
