Most of the Republican members of the House of Representatives who voted against reciprocity sought to defend their votes by declaring the| measure was against the best inter- ests of the farmers, and that as they prided themselves upon being friends of the farmers at every turn in the Termed Conspiracy.

Upon close view. the ‘farmers’”’ the passage of a bill providing for | tree jist bill becomes a mighty inter- ths publicity of campaign contribu- | tions before instead of after elections; the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people; reci- ty with Canada and the farmer’s free list bill, with other similar legislation to follow promptly.

It untaxes many articles the farmers use, but it means about as much to all other consumers. It puts 100 articles of common use on the free list and it is estimated that it will save the buying public some $300,000. The measure won’t hit the revenues hard, eithér. The tariff is nearly prohibitive on the 100 articles concerned, so that the custom houses get only $1,500,000 from this source. Republicans Forlorn.

But, lo and behold, when it came time to vote, 109 Republicans who had been 80 loud‘in proclaiming their affection for the farmers, voted against the farmers’ free list bill. A remarkable. vote for. the United States Senate was recorded when the resolution to bring about the direct election of senators was made the un- finished business and thereby given precedence over all other measures.

The case grew out of an attempt made by Mr. Austin, publisher of the Bates County Record, to collect a bill which ‘he alleged Mr. Burge owed for several years subscription to his. paper.
