President Taft holds that a commercial agreement with Canada "by which we shall fcave direct access to her great supply of L-atural products without an obstructing or prohibitory tariff. Is not a violation of the protective principle, aa that has been author itatively announced by those who uphold. It. fceeaose that principle doea not call tor a tariff, between, this country and one whoae conditions aa to productions, population and wages are so like ours, and when our common boundary line ef X.COO miles In Itself must make a radical distinction between our eom- coaotry.

If we give them reason to take the former view," he adds, "can we complain if they adopt methods denying access to certain of their natural resources except on eeadittoas quite unfavorable to aa? A notable Inatance of such a possibility may be seen in the con-l dltions surrounding the supply of pulp wood and. the manufacture ot print paper, for which we have made a conditional provision In the agreement, believed to equitable, i Should we not. sow. therefore, before their i noltcy oas become too crystallized ana nxeu for change, meet them.

In a spirit of real concession, facilitate commerce between the two countries, and thus greatly Increase the natural resources available to our people?" Effect. Ceat at Ulias. As to the effect the treaty would have on the cost ot living In the United States, the President says: "I do not wish to hold ut the prospect that lut auirrairrcieti inicrcnanie ui loou pnra- vets will greatly and at once reduce their cost to the people of this country.

She has sought to agree with us quickly when differences have disturbed our relation. She shsrei with us common traditions and I feel have correctly interpreted the wish of the American people by expressing in the arrangement now submitted ta Congress for Its approval, their desire for a more intimate and cordial relationship with Canada.

I therefore earnestly hope that tbe measure will be promptly enacted into law." Dm ration Tf ot Decided. Following the President's message la the correspondence which took place between the Canadian Ministers and Secretary Knox, the purpose of which, was to make sure that both sides had the same understanding of what had been accomplished. The Canadian commissioners made It plain that In their understanding both governments would use their best efforts to make the necessary tariff changes by legislation instead of by treaty. It was understood that because of the time and labor expended in matnrtng the agreement and the benefit expected to result to the people on both sides of the border it would remain in operation tors considerable period. But neither the United States nor Canada shall be prevented from making any change in tartff policy that may be desirable in the future.

Wood I'nlp Aareesaent. Secretary Knox, in a note ot date Jan. 21 fully confirms the Canadians understanding ot the exact meaning of the agreement. He regrets the inability of the commissioners to adjust their differences on the subject of wood pulp, pulp wood and print paper. The Secretary says "We recognize tbe difficulties to which you refer growing out of the nature of the relations between tbe Dominion and provincial governments, and for the present we must be content with the conditional arrangement which has been proposed in schedule attached to your letter." The correspondence closes with mutual expressions of gratification and appreciation of the spirit in which each side has dealt ith the subject.

The Iowa Senator' address with an attempt Justify the newspaper pressure which has been brought ta bear npon tbe Senators against the committee report and to belittle thc'effects of the acquittals In the Illinois courts and the re-election by Illinois constituencies of -accused members of the Illinois Legislature.

"The decision of this particular case. he continued, "is of great moment to tha Senate and the people, but the question whether Mr. Lorimer shall be' permitted to retain his seat in th Senate of the United States shrinks into insignificance when compared with the conseduenees of the rule relating to bribery first announced in the debate by Senator Gamble of South Dakota," approved immediately hy Senator Bailey ot Texas, and insisted upon yesterday by Senator Paynter of Kentucky.

They ask the Senate to solemnly declare that the law of the land la that If it ta shown that certain number of bribed votes were given to the successful candidate In a senatorial election, and the persons who casttheso votes are Identified with the bribed votes, that the bribed votes must not only" be deducted from the number received by tha successful candidate, but also from the total number of votes cast, and that If. upon such a 'readjustment, the candidate has a majority ot the remaining votes he ts, under all circumstances, duly and legally "To apply the' rule, so announced, to the present ease means that, conceding that William Lorimer received seven corrupted votes, his election was, nevertheless, legal snd valid. "This is the most alarming and dangerous proposition ever made In the Senate of the United States. 1 It were adopted It would be the most cocd(ai Invitation ever extended to dishonesty, 'iCtlm and corruption.

Crltlefsea Cosamlttee.

Then Senator Cummins opened, his attack, on the committesi by criticising Jts declaration that Senatot Larimer had. in no way bee Implicated ta.the. charges that wera made. "Whether knew of the effort that were made in his behalf. said the Senator, "I da not It 1 not necessary for me to express an opinion on that subject.

The attifude of the committee on that subject has made It exceedingly difficult for any. One to reach a conclusion on that aubject. "Tha committee seems to have assumed that the Chicago'Tribune was the plaintiff Id the case before it and that William Lorimer was ths defendant, and that the admission and statement In behalf ot the plaintiff could hind the committee in so far ss thoso admissions were made against the Interests of th plaintiff. "There seems to have been no effort from, that time forward to pursue that particular phase of the Investigation. I do not agree with such attitude on the part of tbe subcommittee.

I do not think the Chicago Tribune was the plaintiff or that sny statement made by It attorney eould In any wis restrict the powers of the committee. "The committee was directed to Investigate whether corrupt methods or practices were employed In tbe election ot William Lorimer to th United States Senate. It Is one ot the strange things about this report of the committee' that the only thing about which the committee was directed to report was the only thing on which the committee did not report, i submit that this report is not the report required by the resolution directing the Investigation. There ts nowhere In the report an anawer to th inquiry whether there were used or employed in the election of Mr. Lorimer corrupt methods or practices.

Say Point Is Rvadcst. "Since the report was presented three members of the committee have addressed the Senate on the subject, and these three members have very definitely and very clearly stated as their belief that no corrupt methods or practices were used la the election of Mr. Lorimer. But these statements are not found in tbe report and I Instance them for two reasons: First, that the committee was unwilling to affirm that there were no corrupt methods or practices employed, and second1, that In reporting as It has. tbe committee has presented either an Inconceivable conclusion of fact or a most extraordinary conclusion of law.

"I don't suggest that Mr. Lorimer ought to be unsested, because tbe report of the committee is so inadequate In these respect. But I do insist that It is no more than a return of the testimony taken by the committee, and that we have this testimony, free to determine for ourselves and from our own Investigations, what it establishes with regard to the charges originally made against Mr. Lorimer." Then Senator Cummin praised a "clear, complete and concise" the minority "views" presented by Senator Beverldge. "He finds." said Senator Cummins, "that corrupt methods were practiced and used In the election of Mr.

Lorimer, snd that ha was not duly elected to his office. My conclusion Is that th view of the minority Is sound with respect to the use of corrupt methods and that Mr. Lorimer was not legally elected. "The testimony questions th honesty of st least eleven votes csst for Mr. Lorimer, but I shall consider first the seven votes of White, Link.

ckemeyer. Holstlaw. Broder-Ick, Browne and Wilson." Think Whlto TrwthfwK Senator Cummins gave full credence ts White's Infamous story, declaring: "A moment's reflection must convince man of intelligence that It Is sot within the power of th human mind to fabricate the story told by Mr. Whit so as to make it harmonise with th events through which it runs. I do not deslr to stand as th apologist, and much less as a defender cf Mr.

White. Bat It Is Impossible to summon van of high degree and of spotless lives to prove the existence of the crime ot bribery. "I have drawn thhi conclusion from twenty-five years of th praetlco ot th law, spent almost constantly tn th trial ot esses, that It Is not In th power of rati, however Intellectual though he may be, to build up such a story aa this story told by Mr. White, touching so many men and so many circumstances, and not see It overthrown and demolished by circumstance and facts established by undisputed testimony Senator Cummins then sought to prov White's story as true, because tt contained recital of letters and ot vent which had proven correct, and because ot th relations It revealed between. Browne and Whit.

also took occasion to strike anew at th committee by criticising certain questions, that wr asked witnesses by th attorneys, trying to-demonstrate than ths commute had not tried ta elicit th real truth. His address, however, waa cut short by th appearanc of President Taft's Canadian 'clprocit msssaga.
