FLETCHER AGAINST
EMERCENY TARIFF
States That His Position on Bill -
Same as That Taken at Last
Session.
nv GEORGE II. MANNiNG.)

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Senator
Duncan U. Fletcher. of Florida. declar-
ed his intention to again vote against
the emergency tariff bill when 1t comes
to a vote in few days. in speech
last Friday in the senate.
After reading several kilograms, let
ters and petitions from business men
in Florida urging him to change his
position on this measure, he launched
into long speech in which he assert
ed that the outstanding fallacy in con-
nection with the bill is the claim that
1t will benefit the farmers.
When this emergency tariff bill was
before the senate toward the close Of
the last congress expressed my views
regarding It," said Senator Fletcher.
.Nothing has occurred to cause me to
modify or change them. It would be
unnecessary to repat them now.
sThe fact is, on account OF the situ-
alton in reference to the rates Of ex-
change, the disorganized markets, de-
moralized credits, and the advantages
possessed by the United States over
other countries at this time. there is no
need for .ar;:f legislation. Conditions
are rapidly changing, readjustment is
taking place, q stricken world Is grad

ually recovering. and in the unstable,
unsettled conditions prevailing every
where, no permanent tariff laws should
be enacted at this time.
"The outstanding fallacy in connec-
ton with the pending bill is the claim
that its enactment would benefit those
engaged in agricultural pursuits in the
United States.
IF the bill was confined entirely to
agricultural products, there would be at
least an appearance Of good faith in
such claim, but since it embraces man
ufactured goods. for which the farmers
and other consumers must pay prices
Increased far beyond the duties, If the
measure accomplishes what its pro-
ponents claim, 1t is made clear beyond
question that it Is not even intended
to be of real benefit to the farmers
Of the country. If 1t becomes a law,
the producers Of agricultural products
will be sorely disappointed, in so far as
they may expect it to operate to their
advantage.
"Since It Is to remain in effect only
six months, it may not work any seri-
GUS harm. It will, however, accomplish
no good result and its pretensions will
be exposed by experience.
have always felt very great sympa-
thy for every effort put forth that
might make for sound and healthy
agriculture. Whatever would encour-
age and stimulate those who produce
the nations food, 1t has been my pur-
pose to favor and advocate.
The fundamental industry OF the
country Is agriculture. II that Ian
cuisines and suffers depression, all the
people must feel the painful effects. No
country can enjoy permanent prosper
ity II the farms are abandoned, IL ag-
riculture is made Improbable, and the
conditions Of rural life are hard and
uninviting.
In the United States there are $685.
242 farms. OF these, 3,924.851 are oper-l
ated by owners, 6s,512 by managers,
and 2,455,879 by tenants. Nearly one
third OF our population are interested,
directly or indirectly, In agriculture,
This is a sufficient statement to indi-I
cate the importance Of that industry,
but it is not all that might be said.
Every man. woman and child in the
country who has to have food and wear
clothes is concerned. What we some
times hear mentioned as the farmers
problem is equally the problem Of ev-
cry citizen. Whether we are farmers,
or merely consumers, we must all move

GOSSIP AT THE
STATE CAPITAL
by JOHN c. TRIcEl

With five weeks Of the session be-
hind them and little less than four
weeks staring them in the face, and
a calendar fuller Of unpassed bills than
DR.. Demilly's cow ticks during the last
days of their existence, some Of the
members of the house are beginning a
case of nerves several times a day.
The roseate views they have hereto
fore held as to the passage OF some
well nourished pet schemes are be-
coming clouded, and the darker the
cloud grows as time passes on. the
more serious becomes that nervous at
Fiction. It even now threatens the
progress of business, which has not
been abnorma1ly rapid in the house
since the beginning Of the session.
1.-THE only way we can get anything
through from now on will be by waiver
of the rules" declared a member day
or two ago.
That view is shared by others of the
nervous type And therein lies the
danger. is the view of another old
seasoned lawmaker. He points out
that It requires two-thirds vote to
waive the rules, and requires very
nearly five minutes time on this one
motion in the event there is little OBJ
lection. whereas short bill may be
read in the same time. Legislation by
waiver Of the rules was only provided
for to meet emergencies. this old leg
,slator points out, and ought never to

nose. he concludes.
The benefits Of protection for our

makers right here In Tallahassee.
There is an ordinance against shoot
ing in the city limits, and every tree
ton almost is full of squirrels. More
of them can be seen in a 80 minute
drive around Tallahassee than can be
found in a whole day hunting in the
hammocks close by In fact they
are so numerous here that there may
be a suspicion that they have come to
town to enjoy the protection the law
affords them.

the suggestion OF per capita, tax
With head up and tail over the dash,
they prance up to the already tax
burdened people with a ten mill sub

them to ignore the bitter and swallow
the whole bill, but they develop a
case Of superb Indifference when it Is
proposed to provide for a per- capita
tax to build good roads in the coun-
ties where the tax is collected. This
the only way to reach
a certain element of our population Is
that kind of taxa class, by
the way, that uses the roads about
as much and perhaps destroy them
more, than any other.

NEW YORK. July 5.-The ad-
vance continued in the bond market
today, with railway issues leading the
way. One of the most hopeful factors
back Of this movement is the apparent
halt that has been called upon the out
put Of new securities. This lessons the
competition for established bonds. Cold
water has been thrown upon negotiations
for foreign government loans by the
protracted opening Of the books for the
500, 100000 French 7hs.
The amount unsubscribed for Is small !:
1t is reported not to be more than $10,-

unsold balance at all so long time

condition in the market for this class Of
securities.
There may or may not be some con-

the books for the French lean and the
report today that Canada will in all
likelihood pay off the $15.000.000 5h

ST. PAUL, July 5.---The lack of con-
f1dence, which has been holding back
return of business to a normal basis.
is fast disappearing in this section.
Business men who a few months ago
were pessimistic now see a turn in
the tide and this sentiment is max
ing things brighter in the northwest
Another big factor in the improve
ment OF the situation is the indication
for bumper crops. The small town
merchant is beginning to lay in a
supply of commodities that he knows
the farmer will need after he har-
vests his crops. The recent dry spell.
which was severe in some parts Of
the northwest, has been relieved by
rain in the sections which needed 1t
most. There has been no increase in
the rust area and grain will not suf-
fer great damage from this cause this
season.
Trade conditions continue to i'm
prove in nearly all lines and whole
sale volume iss little larger than
for a similar period last year. Shoe
