OUR DOMESTIC FREE TRADE,
II 1t Is So Good n Thing, Why Not Ex
tend 1t to Our Relations with Canada?

~ ~ - 50 oooa ~ why NOT Tx
tend 1t to Our Relations with Canada9
Before the present constitution Of the
United States was formed the states
Were cutting each others Threats with
retaliatory tariffs. New York, Connec-
ticut and New Jersey being near to-
getaer were peculiarly cursed with this
warfare. When, however, the fathers
framed the constitution they put in the
clause that made sure Of free trade be-
tween all the states. Nobody doubts
that without this provision half of the
forty-two states would at this moment
be levying protective tariffs against one
another's goods. On the other hand,
nobody doubts that such policy would
be injurious not only to some, but to all
Of the states.
Apply the principle a little further.
There Is only an imaginary line between
much of our territory and that of Brit
ish America. If free trade between
New York and Pennsylvania is good for
BOTH why is rot free trade between
New York, Pennsylvania and Canada
good for all three? What is there PEI
culiar in the soil, climate, people or gov
eminent of Canada that makes it i'm
proper, impolitic, unpatriotic, danger
Gus or Improbable for Us to enjoy free
trade with the Canadians?
Lr. Blaina's reciprocity seems to con-
fess this, but it does not so far enough.
Il the objection to tariffs lies partly in
the fact that they obstruct trade, the
country that throws down these barriers
without regard to the policy Of its
neighbors in this regard will thus far IA
cilitate trade, and SO do a good thing.
Reciprocity is taking merely half step,
when the whole step would do more
good.

Nearly every pattern Of IA Horse
Blanket is initiated in color and

looks just as good as the genuine,
but it hasn't the sonyp THREADS, and
SO lacks strength, and while it sells
for only a little less than the genu-
inc it isn'tworth one-half as much.
The fact that A Horse Blankets

that they are THE STANDARD.
