IL would be interesting To know exactly why
the present time was chosen for another insllr
rcction In Cuba Perhaps there is nothing more
In II than an innocent and unprecedented coin
cldcnce Possibly there is some significance Of
a not altogether pleasant kind. The fact. at any

morally certain there must now and hcnceforth

not entirely defeat the bill but II IS morally SIRE

The Home Rule bill was formulated by Senior

the leaders Of Ill important parties. both AZ
home and in the colonies. The chief Loyasts
and Home Rulers of Cuba were both taken into

What the Reciprocity agreement accomplished
was the placing Of American exporters on

the exporters Of other nations. Whit Secretary
Gresham has done has been TO put American
exporters on terms Of equality with Canadian
merchants and shippers. For example, agri-
