Political Union with Canada.

We would direct careful attention to the
first Of series OF letters on Continental
Union from our correspondent at Toronto.
He shows that the problem presented by
tho division OF tho Anglo-Saxon race in
North America has for fifty years been
pressing more and more urgently for a
solution. and that the time has come to
solve It. He demonstrates that the solu-
tion must DO either unrestricted reciproci-
W. which no far-slghted and patriotic
American will grant. or the complete po-
litical union Of Canada with the United
States. He shows. finally. that the anti
American party arc leaning on what will
provo broken reed. the belief that the
Democratic party under the CLEVELAND
Administration are capable OF giving the
Canadian Tories all they want by admitting
the natural products Of Canada duty free.
and thus permitting the lions whelp to
fatten upon the cagie.
1t is to 1916 that tho first efforts on
tho part OF Canada to obtain reciprocity
date back. At the instance Of Canadian
producers tho imperial authorities EN-
deavored, by alternately coercng and
coaxing the Washington Government, to
obtain free access tor Canadian products to
tho United States. Those efforts failing, q
tremendous impetus was given to tho an
ncxation propaganda. Luckily for the con-
tinuance OF the connection OF the colonies
with Great Britain. Lord ELaIN managed
to secure reciprocity In natural products by
atroaty negotiated under the administra-
tion OF Mr.. PIERCE. We arc ablo to confirm
the statement made by our correspondent
that Lord ELGIN owed the treaty to tho
South: that Southern agents had visited
Canada and observed the growing desire
for political union. and that Southern
statesmen supported reciprocity in order
to remove that desire, foreseeing that II
Canada Joined tho United States her in
fluence would DO cast against slavery. The
result OF that treaty is well known. The
expectation OF Canadian products to the
United States was tripod In eleven years.
and owing to the cheaply won advantages
OF unrestricted commerce with the United
States. all dissatisfaction with the existing
political connection with England disap-
peared. 1t was we'll said at tho time that
the United States had been playing tho
part OF wet nurse TO a lot OF gasping British
colonies
Since the abrogation OF partial reciprocity
In 1906 the Canadian provinces have inces-
sanity removed their attempts to secure
similar advantages. resorting for tho pur-
pose sometimes to deluslvs and one sided
proposals. and sometimes to coercion in the
matter OF the fisheries. The last effort An
this direction was made In the winter OF
Is9l-o2. when the overtures were met by a
declaration on tho part OF our State De-
paftment that no scheme for reciprocity
with the Dominion Government. confined
to natural products. would be entertained
by this Government. Meanwhile. the Cana
dian Liberals have been advocating
"urnstr!c.ed reciprocity. which means.

WY Ir WEE COINED HI,i.

The Chicago Herald, which supports
Senator Palmer for the presidency,
and had been favorable to Mr.. Cleve-
land. says of Senator Hills Southern
trip:
cordial and spontaneous welcome every
where greets in the South the Northern
Democrat who manfully stood for constitu-
tional rights in behalf of the Southern peo-
pie. When David 5. Hill, governor of
New York, denounced the force bill, he did
not calculate whether it would take from
him possible votes in contest for the SEN
atorShip. He did not hesitate to write
phariseeism should bar his path to be leader
of his state in a national Democratic con-
veution. When, after the passage of the
Mckinley bill Democrats OF national dis
tinctlon, especially New York Democrats,
were wanted in Ohio to wage the war for
tariff reform and help Northern Democrats
put down Republican robbery by defeating
Mckinley, Governor Hill did not sulk or
watch with one eye for possible reaction in
favor of barons' revenues. He went
promptly to the front, he fought to the
finish for another Democrats victory He
fought for principle without celebrating
in seclusion whether to keep out of the
fight would not be better fighting for him
self
Therefore the South welcomes him. He
is received as a stalwart Democrat. He is
received as man wish convictions that
are not conditioned upon an imaginary
claim to the presidency. and are not to be
expressed or reserved according to what
may appear to selfish vision personal op-
portunity for political profit.n
