Less than two years ago the Demo-
cratic press was in a great state of agi-
tation over the prospect that the doc
irinc of Reciprocity as formulated by the
present Republican Administration
would ruin the foreign trade of the coun-
try instead Of promoting it. In their
"panic and alarm" they we're especially
agitsted BY declaration of Ven Sic
mans. the great German inventor, who
said "if the United States keeps on as il
is now doing we will have to 60 to war
and erect big fence to keep out iti
grain, cotton and meat" This bit oil
can be read now in the light
Of the recent action Of the German gov
eminent opening the ports of that cour-
try to American meat, wheat. rye, hops,
bran, butter, -four, etc. As the Frank
fort Zeitung says. under the reciprocity
policy of this administration, Germany
has been forced to make the treaty as
France, Austria and other sugar produc
ing countries will have to do very soon
American Democrats have an excellent
opportunity to calm their agitated nerves
as the doctrine of reciprocity goes on
ronquering and to conquer.

the demonstration Of the dishonesty Of
his statement is not so easily sffe,ted,
though tue tax here is as purely imagi-
nary as in the former case. When the
price Of the calico is lower than the al.

the tau theory. But this never occurs
except whcro the duty is specific. No
matter how low the price fills, an .dv.-
lor.m duty Of any rate belos, 100 per
cent must necessary be less than the
price. 81 the farmer is debsrred from

der. But he has at hand another equal
" effective argument.
He can show that unless the tariff
stands between him and cheaper imple-
meuss which he might buy from foreign
countrie" it It were abolished, then i.
cannot tax him. Tho tariff performer"
will have to admit that. Then he can
appeal to fact aud prove that there is not
