Che Wisdom Of Reciprocity

When about two weeks ago President
Harrison issued his proclamation impos-
IL z retahst0ry duties upon the coffee OF
those coun.rieA--Venezuela Columbia
and Bayti-which had neglected to
enter into reciprocity agreements. free
traders generally, with their charsc-
telisiic dogmatic assurance. predicte d
that the price of coffee would rise, and
many of them took advantage Of the op-
por,unity to draw come extremely pa
thetic pictures OF the poor working
man being Obliged to pay more for this
primary necessity of life. We pointed
out at the time that our purchases Of
coffee from these countries were but
small in comparison with our
total importations and that, there
fore, this retaliatory proclamation
could not possibly raise the price Of
collee but the "refoiners. 80 starting out
with the premise that the tariff is tax
ma urslly arrived at the conclusion that
the effect OF the proclamation must be to
make CT flee dearer. Now, however, they
suddenly maintain discreet silence on
this point; FOR with the expection Of the
usual market fluctuations, which always
occur, tariff or no tariff, some showing a
decline, others an advance. there has
been absolutely no change in the price
OF coffee as compared with its price Il
month ago. Which furnishes some
more testimony as to the wisdom of our
reciprocity policy and the stupidity OF
the average free trader.
