- about S o'clock he left the chamber. Mr.

which th New Tprk senator had said
"happen m the South' which ought' (o
call for Federal lnterrentlon. but the
demand did not reach Mr Boot an til
after Senator Berertdg had formally
replied to the New York senator's speech
and th senate was prepared to adjourn.
. Challenged Statement '". v
Jnat before o'clock Mr Bacon re-
vired th Southern question. Repeating
the remarks t th New Yorker. Mr. Ba-
con addressed himself directly to Mr.
' . Boot and said: : v ' '
"What are -the things to which th

" gtaaee of hlsprious remark h said hj
had referenoo to the TOhsntary smren-
der by the government of th power to
' anforoe the protection of that suffrage
- prrrlleges of the Southern negroes. Fac-
ing Senator Baoon and speaking with
' great deliberation Mr. Boot enumerated
-' th peonage system the lynching of ne-
groes and the disfranchising prorkUona
such as the "grandfather" : clauses ta'
. some of the Soathera States as som of
; ftf things ' calculated -- to dsnrhr -th
' black man of that equal protection whtoa.
th constitution guaraatasa. ' -' s
' "Th peopl of th United States) are
wining to fold their hands and wish the
' Southern people godspeed In working out
- their delicate problem so long as ther do
so In kindness but If there should be-
such oppression as to call for the exer-
cise of the power of th United States to
. enforce the amendments that will be ex-
' excised and It ought to. be" be aid. v
' ' Cus of Lynculng. ;- '.;'' -
Mr. Baoon replied that such questions
. M lynching and peonage war In no Wis
cognate to th subject under consldera
tlon. H aooounted for lynching on th
v ground of severe provocation which.' be
aid deprived man of their reason and
i made demons .of them. : He round one
. cans tor them In the sparsity of popu-
kttion. and to show this erims la. con-
; fined to no on part of the country said
that thr had been a lynching to New
: . York la which tb vieUra was burned to
- death. ""As for the charge of peonage he
! declared there waf no practice la Mho
South worthy of that nam. .
i Indicating doubt as to Mr. Root hav-

direct appeal to th American farmer on
that Issue. He asserted that the Im-
pression which - had gone abroad that

th. reclproceJ . agreement with Canada
would bo a benefltHtthet than) a detri-

oountry.' He said he stated this tn an-
swar to criticism which had been Olreotad
against the measure presnriishly on the
part et the farmer. H said thd great-
eat reason for th adoption of the agre..
meat' Is' that it Is going to- unite- two

I am a republican and th republican

gfMct it would hae on corn and wheat

spect to corn th Aaertean farmer' kt

j A to wheat a said th dorneetle price
Is governed by tha world price and that
"the sending ot any part of ' Canada's
Isurplus through our counliy matead of
through Canada to be- mlDsd or to b
.'exported without mOlInc will not 'per-
. oepUbly or materially esffect tha price
' at wheat for our farmera." : ; '
i Tha value: ot farm land ' he . aald. Is
averted by ' the proximity to market
mora than 'by any other element and? h
maintained ' that; tha . American farmer
would stin have th advaatag In thla
respect. . Ha also' predicted a great tn
erease m American milling aa a result
ot tha agreement. . .

f Tt la a mar truism said the president
to say hat the farmers of a oountry con-
stitute the greatest. wealth producing
class of th country and that It la of
the greatest Importance to conserve their
welfare. When w have had good crops
tha Wheels of all tndurtrles have moved
and wealth has been stored. Any one
therefore .who would Initiate a policy to
failure th farmer haa much to answer
' for at tb bar ot. public opinion.
"Th greatest' reason for adopting this
agreement Is the tact that It Is going to
vnlte two countries with kindred people-
and lying together across a wide conti-
nent In a commercial and social anion to
th great advaatag of both. Such a re
sult does not need to ba Justified by a
nice balancing of pecuniary ptont to each.
I say this In order that .br answering the
arguments directed to the detailed effect
of tha agreement upon dlfffarent clan's)

don the broad ground -upon which the
opportunity to confirm this ' agreement
