CANADL1N RECIPROCITY.

The National Poard of Trale at its scs-
sion on Thursday adopted strong rcsolu-
tons in favor of reciprocal trade between
the United States and the Prcyincrs of
Cannda. II is q significant fact Tat these
resolutions were adopted with only six
votes in the negative. 1t shows that there
is now q strong current Of feeling in favor
of removing the restrictions by which our
mercal intercourse with fore gu na..On
is so much hampef,d.
There can be hut little question, we
think, hut that the best interests of the
United States demand that there should be
free exchange of productions between
this country and Canada. We produce
many things which the people of those
Provinces cannot buy with money, but
which they would be glad TO take from us
in exchange for products of their own. On
the other hand, they can supply us with
many articles cheaper than we can obtain
them elsewhere, We would thus reap n
twofold advantage from the exchange. We
would secure market for surplus products
and in return obtain many articles we need
at lower prices than we now have to pay
for them.
The benefits resulting from the trade
would of course bo reciprocal. but that is
far from being an objection to the policy,
for the more prosperous Canada becomes
the more desirable will that country lie as
neighbor. 1t is high time that we should
get rid of the barbarous idea that nation
ever gains anything by impoverishing other
countries, especially those in close proxim-
ity. The more wealthy Canada becomes
the more of our surplus products will she be
able to take in, thus in turn promoting our
prosperity by the encouragement which will
thereby be given to our industries.
Moreover the present system fosters n few
local interests in both countries ut the ex-
pense Of the mass of the people. There is no
tax so unjust and oppressive rs that which
is levied upon the many for the benefit Of q
few, yet such is the indirect effect of the
restrictions which are now imposed upon
our traffic with Canada. We hope, there.
| fore, that they will soon be removed.

WELCOME TO THE PRESIDENT

The President returned to the seat OF
Government last night, after his extended
trip through New England, where he was
received in manner worthy of his Office
and his excellent personal character. On
behalf of the people of this District, who
are unit in their love for him, we well
come him home, and congratulate him upon
the fact that he was so cordially received
by the people of the most intelligent part
Of the Republic.
The custom which President HAYES has
adopted of making occasional cx ,ursions to
various parts of the county during the re-
rcss Of Congress is in all respects con,meud-
Rble. A popular ruler, with such grave re-
sponsibilities rs those which rest upon the
President of the United States, ought to
be in the fullest sympathy with the great
mass Of the people, who arc neither office.
seekers nor oiiicc-holdcrs, but are neverthe-
less vitality interested in having the country
well governed. BY mingling with such
people in various parts Of the country with
the freedom of unrcstIaincd social inter
course q well-meaning ruler not only gains
the confidence of the people, but is enliyht-
ened rs to their wishes and strengthened
for the firm and impartial discharge of the
duties of his office.
On the tours which President HAYES has
made he has met the people, not as q parti-
san, but as the Chief Magistrate of the ma
tion. He has appeared before them not as
the representative of one section of the
country merely, but rs O iunctionary bound
by oath to execute the duties of the Office
Of President of the United States and,
therefore, under Obligations to deal Impair
tally and justly with the people Of both
the North and the South. The personal
knowledge which the people Of New Eng
land have gained Of the President will en-
able even those who doubt the wisdom oi
his Southern policy to conceive that it may
be wise and expedient, from the high stand
point which Mr.. HAYES officially occupies
He has impressed the people everywhere
with favorable opinion Of his integrity
and purity of character, and that opinion
will be a source of strength to him in his
efforts to administer the Government as Q
non-partisan.
The people have been so long accustomed
to seeing the President of the United State:
administering that office chiefly for partisan
objects that it is difficult for them to con
peive that his constitutional functions really
render il improper for him to assume that
character. The very nature Of his duties %
an executor of the laws of the natior
make il highly proper that he should keel
his mind entirely free from party bias. III
should be as far above party as the judges
of the courts who interpret the laws Par
tisanship in judges is now universally repro
bated, and when correct views Ms to th,
character of the Presidential Office prevail
1t will be considered equally improper 70
its incumbent to mingle in the strife Of fac
tions. The people should always feel TIM

Mr.. NICHOLS In his recent work on cart

marked inferioiity Of American manufactures
in all those departments where art and taste
as distinguished from mere mechanical skill
and inventive ingenuity are required. The

establishment of an art school and an insti-

THE bold charge Of corruption in the Pen.

that bureau, has created considerable sensation
and uneasinoss among officials in that bureau
As is usual when such charges are preferred

A committee ofthe Cuban League ofNew
York have issued an address to the people
Of this country, in which they set forth
quite forcibly the wrongs of Cuba, and urge
that our policy towards the patriots of that
island should be changed. They claim that
Cuba has never shared in the good wishes
Of our Government, and that as colony
maintaining their rights at the point of the
bayonct they are entitled to the sympathy
Of our people. The fact that the Spanish
Government has not been able within the
space Of nine years to subdue the rebellion
gives very great weight to the appeals OF
the committee on behalf Of the liberal party
Of Cuba. As matter Of humanity some
means ought to he found Of putting an end

their barGes into the Potomac river so near the
city that the filth Is carried hack by the in
coming tide, to the discomfort and injury Of
the health Of the inhabitants of this city The
practice should, Of course, at once be prohib-
tied. The experiment has been successfully
tried in some places of utilizing night soil and
garbage for the manufacture of fertilizers.
There is constantly increasing demand for
fertilizers as the agriculture of the country be-
comes more systematic and scientific, and we
have no doubt but that the material which is
now dumped into the Potomac might be prof
itably converted into fertilizers. for there is q
large demand for them among farmers in the
