The issue of the Executive proclamation late

The issue Of the Executive proclamation late
on yesterday marks the final act of the Brazil
ian reciprocity improvement, 50 strenuousiy in
sisted upon by the Secretary of State To Mr..
Blaine large share Of the credit Of this wise
measure is due. He has labored necessarily
for years to secure the broadest rights of
trade between the American nations. The
achievement of this reciprocity move
ment Is one OF the chief fruits
Of his craftsmanship. 1t is the best feature of
the tariff bill recently enacted. BY provision
Of that measure the President was authorized,
In effect. To offer to Brazil the exemption from
duty if imported into the United States Of
sugar molasses coffee and hides-articlcs form
ing the leading staples Of the new republican
exchange for articles produced by the United
States This offer having been communicated
to Brazil. the Brazilian government
accepted the proposition for reciprocal trade
by agreeing to let in free a full schedule of
agricultural and mechanical products and TO
reduce the revenue duties on other articles
IS per cent. Both lists are large and include
very many Of the leading articles of export
produced in the United States Let Con-
gress be wise and spread the beneficent princi-
pie Of hemisphericai reciprocity from arctic to
antarctic America.

As regards reciprocity Canadian economical
authorities differ. Here is the high commits
sioner at London, Sir Charles Upper. who
voices the conservative sentiment when he says
that unrestricted reciprocity is not desired by
the Canadians. On the other hand Prof. Gold
win Smith speaking for the liberals contends
that broad unrestricted reciprocity with this
republic is just what the people of the Domin-
ion do want. The issue Of the approaching
elections will measurably determine the
question so far as the present opportunity goes.
OF course there some chances that if the
question could be eliminated entirely from
politics and submitted directly to the people
that they would decide by good majority in
favor of reciprocity in its broadcast sense. But
as it enters into the political campaign as the
principal element it may be impossible at this
time to get a popular verdict squarely on the
merits An indication by the United States of
willingness to enter upon unrestricted reel
procity. following the hir. furnished by the
Brazilian treaty and others likely to come later
putting the republic upon a more favorable
footing in respect to trade with South and Gem
tral America than any other nation. includin-
Canada, would probably aid the reciprocity
campaign in the Dominion

Cuban sugar has beer a leading import Of
this country, but if Spain shuts her eyes to our
reciprocity arrangement with Brazil this item
may fall of largely. Evidently the wise policy
would be. for her to take advantage of Mr.
Blaine's proposition for a commercial inter.
change similar To the one just effected with
Brazil The latter country could, before long
probably furnish the United States with all the
sugar. molasses. etc, needed over and above
the local supply.

II the maintenance of the Geological Park is
to be treated as District expense, shared by
the local taxpayers, the park ought to be
brought under the control of the local govern
ment. and the appropriation for it made in the
District bill, so that the amount may be prop
erly adjusted in its relations of importance and
necessity to other local expenditures. With SC
many dollars Of revenue the Commissioners
ought to recommend how much of this
amount each year should go to protection
of the city through police and iremen,
how much to improvement of the city's health,
how much to development of the city's streets,
and how much to the purchase Of kangaroos
and giraffes. 1t will not do for the Smithsonian
Institution or the government to propose and
spend what they please upon the park. without
consultation with the District or regard for its
current material needs, and then charge one
half of the amount against the District, The
outrageous character Of the robbery Of the peo-
pie Of this city, Endorsed by the House yester-
day. ought to be evident 10 every one.

Free trade has worked well between the
states. all the states being protected against
manufacturing Europe. Free trade ought to
work well for the United States if extended
over the whole continent, manufacturing Eu-
rope being still excluded. There is no nation
on this continent whose manufacturing devel-
opmept is such as to make the arguments for
protection Of our industries against her COM
petition applicable. On the other hand the
theoretical free traders might well admit that
this continent with all its diversity of wealth
and resources can, with unrestricted trade be-
tween ali its parts, endure without special in
jury the exclusion of the rest of the world
We are all for continental reciprocity.

whether Sir John Macdonald was rebuked by
