Reciprocity. i (Special to The Bulletin.) Washinsion, April 19.—The heuse | having under discussion the reciprocity treaty, Mr Hill secured one hour in which'to present his views on the sub- jJect. He said he had not thought to make a spesch now, but he had ob- | tained ‘some additional facts since last congress /bearing on the matter and thought they might be of -use in the fisrther™ progress in this debate. He aid he had tried to show that in every ase where we:had had :reciprocsty. agreements with other countries the result had been beneficial to both par- ties and that the pending agreement was in no sense a_ general tariff re- vision, -but a straightforward business arrangement. with a single adjacent country Yor -the reciprocal cxchange of such"articles as the negotiators of-both countries belicved, after most careful congideration, could’ be made safely and for the mutual advantage of Both, and thag the cl spective paople and the climiite condl- tions . justified an entirely. diffarent coufse of action from that which ought to contral our relations with the people on the other side of the ocean. e Injd: down the fundamental prin- ciple thaf competition c:umot exist be- twean the vroducts of two nations ex- eept will reference to {heir exportable surpius. - He rofnted out thaf the high cost, of Aiving whieh: now_ obtains in this cotinti is cused by an increased’ demand for food ! transition. from agriculturs | turing due to ‘the transfe e of mi lions and milliens of the food producing classes from the countries of Europe to- the manufacturing industries of -this country.

These statements of land val- ues, wages and products: show clearly that there can be no appreciable differ- ence in the cost of productio : Mr. Hill gave his idea of protection to farm products as follows: “I will #ive vou an Hlustration. .Canada. pro. duces about 73,000,000, bushels of tatoes .per annum, the United States about 336,000,000 bushels annuslly. preduction is under Hke circumstances in both countries and in like -&limatic| conditions. Indeed, in many cases the boundary line runs right through. the potato fisld.

I would ‘ascertain ‘| through a. careful investigation,by the tariff board what the average differ- ence in the cost of production is and would make a duty to fully cover it. That is my idea of protection. That is the competition from which 1 would protect the American farmer, and that is republican protection as-I under- He said that Canadian reciprocity is not in any sense a tariff question and was glad that it was not & party question; and in his judgment, would receive a majority of the votes of both parties when it came time to vote en it. He told his damocratic friends that they need not congratulate. themselves that they wére walkifg in the paths of their fathers, for.most of these food products which will come in free un- der this agresment were dutiable at an average of 20 per cent. in the demo- cratic Wilson bill and at from 40 tc 30 per cent. in the Walker bill of 1846 Mr. Hill read the statement of Victor H.” Olmstead, chief of the bureau o’ statistics of 'the agricultural depart- ment, that the purehasing power on farm’ products had kept pace with the increased cost of what'the farmers had to buy. It follows: “From. the fore- going data it appears that whereas the acre of the farmers’ crops of 1909 was 72.7 per cent. more than in 1899, and tile cost of ‘the articles purchased by them increased -about 12.1 per cent. the purchasing power of the products of one acre in 1809 was about 54 per cent. greater than the purchasing power of the product of one acre in 1899. An acre of corn having increased 78.6 per cent., its purchasing power in- creased 60 per cent. An acre of wheat, having increased 114 per cent, its pur- chasing power has increased 91 per cant, and an acre of cotton, having increased 65.6 per cent.. its purchasing power has increased 48 per cent.” Mr. Hill closed his speech in the following language: “The meat pro- ducts of this great nation, and a once possible competition from the Argen- Dr PEAGEES 1 OYSTERS % - « 8¢ Fresh Stock Full Cream CHEESE, - » 14%c FINE, SWEET German COFEEE -CAKE e” Republic, are already -centrolled by a few! great capitalists.
