RECIPROCITY.

A convention was held last week cal
culated to stimulate business relations
between the United States and Canada
by establishing international reciproei-
ty-or free exchange of commodities to
do away with entirely, or reduce to the
minimum the tariff restrictions between
the two countries. The meeting was
largely attended, and the Canadian con-
tingent was large. the American repre-
sentatives bring principally men inter
ested in transportation, terminal accom-
modations, wholesale merchants and
urban representatives who can see in
creased commercial relations for their
cities, by the removal of existing barri-
erS.
But how will it effect the agricultural
districts lying along the border-Minne-
sofa for instance? Canada, that part OF
it contiguous to ms, is purely agricultur-
al. 1t raises vast quantities of wheat
and other grain in direct competition
with our farmers. The present tariff
law is practically prohibitive SO far as
sending Canadian wheat TO America IS
concerned. What will be the effelt OF
admitting 1T free of duty? Its argued
that our mills will grindit, our railroads
will convey it, our elevators store it,
and that eventually it will be all shipped
abroad anyway, so that there will be no
local competition created to depress Cur
market. But as fact, only fifteen per
cent. of our wheat goes abroad anyway,
leaving eighty-five per cent. for home
consumption-will not this competition
affect that consumed here? The supply
will be greater, while the demand is a
fixed quantity.
Furthermore, the democratic party
was elected upon clean-cut issues, one oil
!. which was practical free trade-is it not
a little presumptuous for any class OF
men to assume that the administration
will not carry oat the policy to which it
is pledged, without special urging, such
90 1nis SohsSheioh PioPoSes. ihS iiHh
AID believes the democras &c policy per-
nicious, and therefore his little sympathy
with any movement calculated to accent
uate that policy. This conventions idea
of reciprocity, and the reciprocity en-
bodied at the instance of Mr.. Blaine in
the Mckinley bill are two widely differ
ent policies under one name. The Nc
Kinley reciprocity has to do only with
such articles as this country cannot pro
duce at all, or in adequate quantities
Canadian reciprocity has to do with ex
actiy the products of our own soil which
we produce in sufficient quantities fol
export.

THERE has been well-grounded appre-
hension relative to the actionof the In
dams on the Leech Lake reservation
during the past week. Ever since pay
day. on the first of the month, tho In
dians have been drinking freely of SNUG
gled whisky, and drunken Indian is a
dangerous Indian. DR.. Walker, in charge
OF the agency, took a bottle of whiskey
away from one of them, and it made him
hostile. He made an attack upon the
doctor, who drew his revolver to intim.
ida+e him. The pistol was dischar ged
accidentally, the ball entering the In
dams mouth, inhicting a serious wound.
Thereupon the Indians seized the doctor
and made him prisoner, threatening to
kill aud scalp him if the shot proved
fatal. The red men picketed the reserya-
ton and refused to permit any white
man to enter or leaye it. A school
teacher, however, managed to get away
by subterfuge and came to Park Rapids,
where he told the situation, and the
governor and United States military
authorities were telegraphed the facts.
Since that time no information has been
received from the reservation. Two
doctors went from Park Rapids. dis
tance OF torty-0ye miles, to render assis-
tance to the wounded mau. A company
OF troops and United States civil officers
were dispatched from st. Paul, via
Brainerd, and are doubtless on the
reservation before this. There are four
hundred warriors at the reservation.
and it is estimated that half of them are
armed. Great anxiety is felt for the
safety of DIR. Walker.

of toasts were announced, F. E. Barnum
acting as POSTMASTER. "Our Honored
Guest" was responded to by c. F. Hen

deserved. r. A. Fox dwelt upon the
characteristics of sour Guest as

ment for his generous impulses, and

Der of persons were called upon, among

IN ITS efforts to make the pension bu-
reau obnoxious to the people. the adj
ministration has been specializing upon
the advisability of adopting one ofsev-
eral plans. A direct tax has been sug-
gested; an income tax is another plan,
and there is still another proposed, and
that is to raise the revenue tax on whis-
key from ninety cents to a dollar and a
quarter gallon. The last one would
preserve the eternal fitness of things best
lit would bea direct tax upon the party
which made pension bureau necessary.
By all means, let the administration
adopt that plan-republicans will be the
bene6ciaries directly without bearing the
burdens, and the administration will be
true to its record of political sagacity.

timely, is sufficient to earn for him the
everlasting gratitude of state which
stands well to the front in the matter Of
higher education, and so by reason of
his far seeing sagacity and disinterested
Iberality. And yet. so modest and un-
assuming is he that the mere mention OF
the least of his benehcent acts will suf-
fuse his checks with honest red blood.
While he has erected monuments to his
memory more lasting than brass, the
state would but feebly recognize the
services of this most valuable of her
loyal sons by placing uponthe university
campus a colossal statue of John S..
Pillsbury.
To CHARGE up the recent stringent
financial conditions of the nation to any
thing the present administration has
done or refrained from doing up to this
time, is clearly unfair, for it has done
nothing-it could do nothing. Cohgress
alone has the power to fix and unfx
financial policies, and congress has not
been in session since Mr.. Cleveland was
elected. But tits not straining the prob.
abilities to declare that had the repubii-
can party been successful at the. late
election the present condition Of affairs
would not exist. 1t is the feeling OF I'M
certainty as to what extent the Chicago
platform will be vitalizedinto law by the
democratic party that has given alarm.
Free trade and state banks are looked
forward to with grave misgivings by
the business interests of this country.
Free trade means increased imports and
a much heavier balance of international
business relations against US. and idle
capital and labor at home-and state
banks mean food of irresponsible cur
rency to take the place of gold, and
currency redeemable in gold. Incident
ally, the silver question cuts no little
figure. The democrats of the south and
west are free coinage advocates, and
they may find enough republicans of
the same way OF thinking to make free
coinage of silver possible. The Sherman
bill which provides for the purchase Of
100000 ounces OF silver per month, is
doomed, as it ought to be. 1t was a
te@tatiye measure which miserably
failed of it's purpose-that OF keeping the
price OF silver somewhere in the neigh
borhood of its nominal coinage value,
and its repeal is demanded by no one
more strenuously than by its author.
II the United States treasury cannot
maintain the price of silver by absorbing
the entire product of American mines.
what would be the result. of permitting
the entire output of the world to be
thrown into our minis for free coinage?

LAST week the HERALD commented at
some length upon the views Of Hon. h.
E. Boon, member of congress from the
seventh district of Minnesota, as given
by him to the New York World. In q
telegraphed interview to the New York
Times he gives more Of it, and much
worse:
First, give silver the same right Of
coinage and legal tender quality as gold
at ratio Of sixteen to one and then re-
peal the Sherman law. Or demonetize
gold and make gold contracts void. /
favor bi-metalism. or a paper currency.
If a paper currency make 1t full legal
tender and issue it in payment of services
rendered and materials furnished to the
government. That wilt be cheap, sale
and efficient way out Of the difficulty. :
It would be just as sensible and equally
honest to demonetize currency in all its
forms and make allcontracts void. That
would settle the debt question in a
Cheap and s'cfiicient" If not "safe"
way. An unlimited issue Of Fat legal
tender currency. forced upon unwilling
creditors. seems to express Mr.. Boen's
Conception Of national integrity. As a
successor of Hon. Kittel Halvorson this
populist member of congress seems dead
lost in the immensity Of the space he
occupies. and Mr.. Halvorson was too
modest to claim greatness. He knew
enough, however, not to slop-a lesson
Mr.. Boon has neither the capacity nor
che desire to learn.
