XO POLITICS IN RECirROClTT.
Now that the Investigations of the
ub-comralttee on reciprocity with refer
ence to the advisability of restoring th
reciprocity treatlea that were negotiated
by Secretary Blaine have ended. It l not
too much to say that the work of the
committee constitutes the most valuable
service rendered by th fifty-fourth con
(Ties. There was some doubt manifested
by politicians at first as to the advisa
bility of such an Inquiry.
Some of the party managers were not
certain that the replies to Question s:t
out by the committee would form the
kind of campaign material wanted. But
fortunately the committee refused to
take a narrow, partisan view of the mat
ter, and the result la not only gratify
ing to the party men but demostra'.es
that there Is not as much politics in the
reciprocity question as was at first
Imagined.
The commendation of the general prin
ciple of reciprocity rsema to have corot
with general unanimity from all sorts ot
manufacturers regardless of party con
siderations. There is probably no feat
ure of our tariff system, past or present,
that has come so near as reciprocity to
being a purely business matter.
A portion ot the Information elicited
by the committee which Is invested with
special significance is the showing ot the
effects of reciprocity upon our dealngs
with Cuba. It Is shown that under three
years of reciprocity our trade with Cuba
reached the highest point ever touched,
showing an Increase of PJOOO In ex
ports and ru.OOn.OuO in Imports.
Upon the passage of the Wilson bill. In
18M, which compelled the abrogation of
the reciprocity treaty. Spain quickly re
vtallated by increasing the duty on door
from $1 per 230 pounds to HT5 per 2S0
pounds, causing a great falling off In the
export trade in that article.
The time has certainly arrived when
business mn shsll consider the subjoct
upon a strictly non-partisan political
basis. The practical application of the
system has demonstrated the ability of
reciprocity treaties to extend and en
large our foreign trade and to render
more cordial our relations with for Ign
countries. By the time another presi
dential campaign arrives it is highly
probable that the reciprocity system will
have ceased to be- regarded as a party
Issue, but will have become a fixed
American policy which no party win
dare to abrogate.
A NEW KIND OF STATESMANSHIP.
The report given out by S.-nator Teller
and bis band of Republican bolters as to
the recent conference between :h-m and
certain Eastern manufacturers turns uul
to be so untruthful and misleading that
the latter have been forced to come for
ward with tbelr version. It 1 altogether
different from tint given out by the
five Bepubilcan senators who were pres
ent, and should be published far and
side as an evidence of bow those men
ave ceased to be Republicans, and the
xtent to which they are trying to scare
is country into some kind of a comprom
i with ehem and their currency ideas,
wltli them and their currency Ideas,
n are not to be moved by the threat
these desperadoes. They know well
igh that the peril Involved In any sort
-concession to the free silver mania
would.- ) far greater than to continue
to Jt" business for a few years longer
un terlHie present tariff. Alexander Crow
Jr.4,:qn ot the biggest carpet manu
fatSor. r of Philadelphia, give this ac
tOJ;tK,. f. tht-conference:
,Ve, la w that Ihe men who had ask
eu iJ to come to the conference had the
pov-f c I'll a slop to tariff l.-gisiaiion
at ti'-fc -Mlon of congress, and we hoped
that in iv presenting ot our view as
manuf..cu; ts we might be able to In
duce the.u to yield a little. When the
time for the conference came. Senator
Teller, C ion; Jones, Carter, Dubois and
Mantle w e present. They sailed right.
In, without loss of time, to tell us that
we need expect no I gUlaikn from this
congress unless sllvw l-glslatlon accom
panied lb The gist of their talk was
that wv an the lamest manufacturers ot
the country.'' owed It to ourselves to use
our kitlnrice toward securing support
for a silver colnuge measure, thereby
gaining 'thftir L'.-lp m- putting through a
tariff bIM. t Trie? wera tnirt.n in the
Philadelphia fcl'-gatuyii who spoke at the
conference. Kour fa'ored the idea ad
vanced tr the silver venators, and the
remaining nine nat down upon it How
land Crott was cm who did not mince
matters, H void fiefiatrir Teller and his
associate, that their sliver Ideas deserv
ed and sheuld have no consideration, and
characterize U pronation made to ua
as 'nonsense.' He concluded his talk by
turning to Senator Taller UuA remarking,
I say to you, sir, h!t you will get
nothing.' . .
"The remainder of us, while Just as
emphatic, Wtrtf frtmT)" sjoc so vigorous
in our langmuf. I aroused Senator Tel
ler's Ire to a cxr.!d raMe extent by what
I said, and Ic-wonle uf others were suf
ficiently plain to- loave no doubt in the
minds of the Wium statesmen that we
were unalterai'Ij '"oppwted to their view.
Those who did it speak felt the same
as those who "id, -and Jo est pressed them
selves after th-9-raorifarsnc wag over.
"Senator Teller and.l U associates told
us one after anolker that they knew our
buslnee was prostrated, that th y knew
we were losing money, hut vhat they
also knew they had us where th'y had
been trying to get us for years, and that
they Intended to kp us there until the
bvlslatlon they wanii-d for their constit
uents was accorded thorn. Their lan
guage was Just as plain as our was,
and no room was I ft for a misunder
standing on either side."
The eonfeivrioe is said to have boon
rxcltlng at time. Vhtl! Alexander Crow
was speaking, he a Interrupted by
Senator TMIor, who shouted, "Thin you'll
get no tariff bill through: you'll gt no
tariff bill through."
'Yes, we will," retorted Mr. Crow; "we
will, sir. for without protection our In
dustries must die."
The abator bcvam angry before the
conference concluded, ami said to the
men they had Invited to Washington to
talk with them that th?y controlled th
I'nlted States senate now, and would for
the next eight ywrs, sJid that the man
ufacturers of the country n J nut hope
for any tariff legislation In all that time
unless a silver measure which met th.ir
approbation went through congress. Th y
followed it up by asserting that sixteen
Western senators had sign-d a written
agreement to that effect.
Th Cctcago Times-Herald, ant-werlng a
correspondent who ask-M what pro
nouncement by McKlnley warranted th
Times-Herald in assuming that he Is un
equivocally In favor of the gold standard,
says:
It Is true that while (n congress Major
McKlnley so spoke upon the currvn.-y
question as to seem to fax or a very
large use of silver, but the conditions
which existed then have undergone sub
stantia modifications. There have been
limes when Carlisle and Sherman were
of Ilk opinion. The moy question cf
today Is not th money question of th
past. The tendency of progress Is to
the highest standard. So is the logical
trend of Individual conviction when
rightly Informed. Mr. McKlnley is
bound, as a presidential candidate, by
his own utterance this year. H said In
this city on Lincoln day that he favored
money composed of "gold, sliver and
paper, good th world over." Is this
language capable of more than one con
struction? To be good the world over
as money, paper and sliver must have
a gold basis. Paper Is not money, but a
representative of money, and the only
money good the world over is gold. Sil
ver has a value cf Its own commercially
the world over, but It monetary value
depends upon a stability prooerly main
tained in a ratio of gold. When, there
fore. McKlnley said that he favors a
currency composed of gold, silver and
paper, "good the world over," he placed
himself unequivocally on record as a
believer In and a defender of th gold
standard for the United State. The
Times-Herald Is not committed to any
candidate or any party and will not sup
port for the presidency any man who Is
not an advocate of honest money. If th
Tiroes-Herald did not believe Msjor Mc
Klnley to be absolutely sound on th
monetary question It would oppose him
with all the force at its command both
before and after th? St. Louis conven
tion. STATE NEW.

thing alarming. They try to force an

A CORRECTION.
Astoria, Or. March 2S, Wii.
Editor Astorian:
Your reporter, writing of the Republi
can mass meeting, held In the court
houw, says that the motion to nominate
delegates viva voce, "was altogether lost,
and the regular printed hIIH containing
the names previously s-wted wre
used." This is not correct. The motion,
that the delegates to be voted for at the
primaries b nominated in that meeting,
was not put because the meetlntf actually
adopted and followed the method pointed
out in the motion. Nominations were
made viva voce, and s-I-ctlons were
made from thop nominations. In mak
ing the motion referred to, the mover
voiced the sentiment of many who think
that no ticket Is "regular" simply be
cause some politicians and ward xtrlker
get together and select names, the great
majority of which are known will follow
I a given course. In the distribution ot
