In the opinion of this convention the policy
unanimously approved by the first interna.
tional reciprosity convention at Grand Forks,
and now reaff1rmea, of removing the tariff re.
strictons upon our international trade so fan
as can be done consistently with a due regard
to the revenue requirements and other inter-
eSts of the two nations, may be most advan.
tageously carried into effect by a treaty pro-
viding for the free Interchange of those classes
of tho products both natural and indus
trial of each one, that are the most gen.
orally in demand or usually find the readiest
sale in the markets of the other. Such policy
in the circumstances of the United States aud
Canada is capable of being applied to many
classes of industrial products, as well as to
natural products generally. 1t would result
in giving to Canada market now denied it
for much of its produce, with compensating
advantage to the United States and that with
out affecting large part of their respective
customs revenues.
Resolved, That any reciprocity treaty be-
tween the United States and Canada should
provide for the free and common use by the
people of both countries of all canals now
built or hereafter to be built to facilitate COM
me- hatv hp lal-n 10
and should also provide for free and open conf
petition between the railway systems OF the
two countries, in order to reduce the cost of
transportation from the interior 10 the sea-
board to the lowest possible figure consistent
with the efficiency and reasonable prosperity
of tho roads.
Resolved, That the cheapest possible trans
portation is amatter CT prime importance to
the interests of the whole Northwest, Canadian
as we'll as American, and that we favor the
improvements of existing waterways and The
construction of additional channels Of CON-
munication between the great lakes and the

WHAT HARRISON WILL DO.
He Will Resume His Practice and Lecture
at the Leland Stanford Jr. University.

He Will Resume His Practice and Lecture
at the Leland Stanford Jr. University.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March 5.-Presi-
dent Harrison has answered the ques-
ton what an ex-President shall do.
He is going back to the practice
of his profession and incidental
to that will lecture on law in
the Leland Stanford, Jr., University, of
California. The President has formally
notified Senator Stanford of his accept
ance of the offer, which was made to
him several weeks ago. At first the
President was not inclined to accept, as
he did not care for the long journey
across the continent. But Senator Stan
ford came to town couple OF weeks ago
and began his personal solicitation for
the President to identity himself with
the university which the Senator found
ed in memory of bis deceased son. He
represented that the lectures would be
so arranged that Gen. Harrison would
suffer little inconvenience and he pre-
scented in a strong light the de-
sire of the Pacific coast that
Gen. Harrison should connect him
tons. So the President finally yielded.
David Starr Jordan, vice-president of
the university, is an old friend, and was
formerly president of the University of
Indiana at Bloomington. It was he who
conceived the idea of having the Presi-
dent lecture at the university.
Gen. Harrison's first lecture will be
delivered some time next month. The
full course has not been mapped out,
but in time 1t will undoubtedly be
broadened SO as to cover the field
OF international law. Gen. Harrison
recently told a friend that he would
be glad when the time came to
review the course of his admin
istration, in foreign affairs gen.
orally, as he had become specially inter
ested in international law. Accounts
differ as to the compensation Gen. Har-
rison will receive. 1t was stated that
the amount would. not be much under
$4,000 per year.
