"Calculated and ap parently intended to affect my reputa tion for vcrasity, such as he would not make to me as one man to another, face to face." He also imputes to Governor Mngoon a breach of confidence in hav ing advised him take a certain course of action and then anticipating it by secret ly writing to Secretary Taft. While expressly stating he bears no ill will toward William Nelson Cromwell. Wal lace speaks of the bias of Taft in favor of that gentleman and says he was aware that Cromwell among other things was trying to secure payment by the United States of an improper claim, which, however; was. afterward disal lowed by the. President.

HEARERS EXPRESS LANDIS OF INDIANA REPLIES TO RAINEY DEFENDING PRACTICE AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS IN SELLING ABROAD CHEAPER THAN IN THE UNITED STATES WILLIAMS ANSWERS LANDIS. WASHIXGTON, May 23.-The issues destined to be uppermost between two reat parties during the coming cam paign are already being joined, if the speeches now being made in the House arc a safe index. Some weeks ago Rain ey of Illinois, made a carefully prepared speech on the watch trust, asserting that watch manufacturers of the United States had one price for watches at home and a lesser price abroad. Today in the House, Landis of Indiana, in a sense answered Rainey, frankly admit ting that American manufacturers had one price at home and another abroad, and he defended the practice as in accord with good business methods, in sisting that all countries sold their Wares for a less price abroad than at home. Landis attracted some attention to the speech made by Bourke Cochrane, .wherein the latter denounced the policy of protection of some public plunder, the fountain source all corruption and the cause of the total demoralization of the American republic.

SUES ILLINOIS IN THE HOUSE APPROVAL OF WORDS OF nied. He said every poor, but ambitious immigrant, who had landed here during the past : ten years would refute the .allegation. Williams answering Landis said he was encouraged in the fight the democrat were making in their fight for tariff reform because a number of the republican leaders, wished re lief from the protective tariff. It was Williams belief that the worst thing about the protective tariff was that it corrupted the friends of good govern ment. Landis took up the assertion made by Williams that corn was so low in 1890 and 1801 that the farmers were compelled to burn it for fuel. He said he came from the Indian corn belt and denied that the farmers there were compelled to burn corn because it was a drug on the market. Williams insisted that he was right in his statement. This brought Hinshaw of Nebraska and Reeder of Kansas to their feet. They .both denied that the fanners in their states burned their corn. Whn Landis concluded the republican side rose and accorded him an ovation. LEAVE NO SCARS. NEW YORK, May 23.
