Hamilton Against Reciprocity Bill

Washington, Feb. 20-Representative
Edward L. Hamilton of Michigan who
on account of serious illness, was un-
able to be present in the house when
the vote on the reciprocity bill was
taken, secured permission and had in
serted in the record today his views on
the measure and giving his objections
to it. Mr.. Hamilton wants it plainly
understood that he is not trying to
dodge the vote, and that had he been
able to be present, he would have cast
his vote against the measure.
"In considering this proposed trade
agreement with Canada" says Mr..
Hamilton, "three facts must be ad-
mitted. First, it is not the Blaine re-
ciprocity; second, it is not the Nc
Kinley reciprocity; third, it is not the
policy Of reciprocity advocated in any
Republican platform; fourth any policy
which injuriously effects American
farmers is not Republican policy.
This American market belongs to
American citizens-not to some of US,
but to all of us, and it belongs as much
to the American farmers as to any
other individual class. Governments
have no right to trade markets to the
disadvantage of their own people.
Neither has government the right by
any trade arrangement to discriminate
against the interests of some of its
people and in favor of the interests Of
others of its people. This bill does not
conform to any policy ever adopted by
the Republican. 1t bears inequitablv
upon the farmer and should have been
amended. Without such amendment,
l would not vote for it.
Cong s. w. Smith Of the sixth district
who was sick with pneumonia when the
vote was taken in the house, has since
written to the officers of the Genesee
County Republican Club that he would
have voted against the passage of the
bill if he had been present when the
vote was taken, Cong McMorran of the
seventh district, was paired against the
bill, while Cong. Townsend has stated
that the bill should have been amended
and that if he had been present he
would have proposed changes but that
he would have voted for its passage if
the changes could not be secured.
Thus at least half the Michigan dele
CATION were against the bill and the
position of two members, Gardner and
Diekema is not known.
