DEMAGOGUE WITH WORSE THAN WAR (Continued from First Page.) beled "breeders of war." In part, the President said: Public Opinion Needed "I do not come before you In opposition to the Senate and I do not wish to criticize the majority of the com mittee that hes reported an amend ment.

I am only anxious to promote as full a pjiblic discussion of the questions now 'arising in respect to the con firmation of the treaties as possible, because I feel confident that a public discussion of the matter, followed by-popular expression, aid much in the clarification of the subject in the senate itself, and will lead to convinc ing a majority of that body, and per haps all, of the wisdom or tne prompt ratification of tne treaties as tney were signed. "Those who have objected to the treaties have first suggested that the organization of the joint high com mission, with the power given to either party to secure a reference of a controversy to it, for consideration in' a vear. makes it a breeder of war. I confess myself unable to -follow the force of such an argument. The difficulties 'connected with the initiation of proceedings under any treaty, and the appointment of six commissioners with the expense and worry attendant unon it.

are all likely to prevent an invitation to a cumbersome like this when the ordinary channels of diplomacy are open. "Objection has made to this treaty, that under the first section It might be claimed that we would be called upon to submit to arbitration the Monroe Doctrine our right to exclude foreign peoples from our shores or the question of the validity of the Southern bonds Issued In reconstruction days. These suggestions have nothing in them. Does Not Apply. "The question of the Monroe policy is not a justifiable one.

It is one of governmental policy, which we have followed for a century and which the countries of Europe have generally acquiesced In. Certainly, with respect to this'very matter. Sir Edward Grey, the secretary of state for foreign affairs has announced publicy that the Monroe pol'cy could not be disputed by them under this treaty and would not come within its terms. "With respect to the exclusion of emigrants, it ls a principle of international law that each country may allow those to come to.its shores whom it chooses to have admitted to the country, and may reject others; and that this a subject ol domestic policy which no foreign country can interfere lh, unless a question of treaty construction. But in the absence of a treaty it ls not not an arbitrable ques tion.

Peaches are a drug on the market in Pana. Not in years have the peaches been so fine a quality and the yield so prolific. All the farmers here have large peach orchards and the evening trains are loaded with the fruit being shipped. But the yield is so prodigious that it is difficult to find pickers and bushels of the fruit are rotting on the trees and on the ground for lack of harvesters. Prices have fallen locally and fine peaches bring but fifty cents per bushel today.

T. A. JJ Bain in Russia Also Causes Rise in Liverpool Market Which Has Effect. CORN POKES ALONG Oats Trade Small Liberal Selling in Provisions Pit to a Decline. CHICAGO.

Aug. 23. WJieat traders today put varying constructions on the ail-important Canadian crop news, the net result being a limited trade and a closing grain of I to 4c In prices, anil oats closed practically at jesterday's linal figures, while provisions dropped from i'ic to 10c. Fifteen points In Canada reported frosts last night, low temperatures throughout the northwest. The Russian crop has been damagel by rain, as was reflected in an advance at Liverpool.

These were the conditions which confronted the trade today. -and under whicli the price of September advanced early to 91c and December to 95J. or about 3c over yesterday's close. At the opening December sold all the way from 94Jc to J-oJ ratio j. the former figure establish-in? the low point of the day.

The advance was sufficient to cause some profit taking, and some short selling by the bears. caused a reaction from the top. but the close was steady wfth December ic higher at 94J'695c. The tone abroad was easier and a flight Increase In country offerings was noted here. Corn Indetermined The market lor corn was slow and the tendency of prices to ease off.

Sep-t-mber was the weakest on realizing by longs. ouniry sales were of a volume at the market. arrd liberal where the price offered was a shade above. The sample market was steady to a shade easier. December sold between 61 Se and 61 Jc.

closing a shade up at 61 Jc. oats opened firm in sympathy with other cereals but turned easier under pressure of sales of December and 11-cuiiiation of September options by Wks. The market was a small affair anil the principal speculative demand was for May delivered, which closed un'-hanered. December sold between 4JfiI43c and hole. Receipts of 7,000 more hogs than had been expected and a decline of 10c In prices, resulted In liberal selling of product In the provisions pit.

There was some buying of October lard against cash sales made over night and considerable liquidation of September options by longs.
