As TO RECIPROCITY.

| What lot Of fun there has been over Reel
procity, TO he sure. When. under the Mex inley
tariff of 1890, IL first formally enacted into
the commercial policy Of the United States. II
was subjected to all manner of rdcule and
abuse. AS soon as the Free-Trade Democracy
got into power again II abolished 1t and danced
q wild fandanCo over what II deemed its eternal
grave. When the principle was revived and
rc-cnacted in the D!rglcy tariff there was n
fresh outburst. Reciprocity. We were told, was
the most dotic ana most offensive feature Of
the whole protective system. Indeed. Protec-
ton itself was TO be condemned chiefly because
il made Reciprocity possible. The system
would not work. anyway. No foreign nation
could be induced to enter into any such abom

OF course all such remarks were cmanations
Of omniscicnce. To doubt their absolute truth
would be fat slcrege. Yet TO the contempt
rary observer there seems to be something
wrong. The truth Of these things does not ap
pear 70 be getting vindcated NJ a particularly
tumultuous pace. On tho contrary, Reciprocity
seems actually TO be practicable Various other
nations are manIfestng lively desire for II.
Even that imperial .\thanasius that stands for
Free Trade alone against the hcrctcal world
leans strongly toward this thing which the true
Cobdcnitc must regard as the very abomIna-
ton Of dcsolaton. Not only do jamaica and
the Bahamas turn longlngly toward II. but

HEAVY EXPORTS AND CHEERING BiIAycES

HI1' ! fAIOHIN j VI nELHINb DiI1N " -
The statement of exports Of the principal prod
ucts for the month Of October corresponds well
with anticipailons based upon trade reports.
There Is large increase OF over S6.OOO.OOO in
brcndstuffs compared with last year. and de
crease Of about Sj.0o0.0bD IN cotton. owing 10
the decline In price, while IN oil. provisions and
cattle a moderate decrease appears from the
large exports of last year Thus the aggregate
value of the principal exports during the month
was only about $4,000 more than IN October
1896, when the aggregate Of all domestic exports
was nearly $l12,OOO.OOO. and much the largest
then ever known In any month The exports
outside the principal products were In that
month over 50 900. 900 which was also remark
ably largo and come decrease this year would
not be surprising; but the prospect Is that the
total exports. foreign included. VIII exceed $40
100000
On the face OF things. II is evident that there
will be found heavy excess ~ exports over
imports for the month. as there was last year
when the excess waS $G3OOO0Oo The imports
nj NewYork, usually about twothIrds Of the
whole. were In four weeks OF October about
$1,7o00O0 smaller than IN the corresponding
week last year, which would Indicate decrease
of about S2JOO00O in total imports and would
make the total Imports not far from $4,000 600.
But as the imports Of some articles such as
sugar and wool, which come In largely at other
por's-a are unusually small this year, the de-
crease may be rather more than Ncw-York re-
turns indicate. The most important difference
10 be observed Is that the official return OF i'm
ports WAS far below their true value n wear ago
The belief that undervaluatlons were fully 90
per cent Of the value Of imports under n tariff
which offered greater premiums for fraud than
any other which has existed for thlrty-slx ycnrs.
has not seemed unreasonable In view OF many
official estimates by commissioners Of the rove
nue. appraisers and other experts that under
valuations averaged about 10 per cent under
tariffs much less calculated TO stimulate sucb
evas!ons OF duty. The notorious fact that q

dence that undervaluat0ns were grenter than
at any former time.
The Importance of this change in estimates
OF the balance OF foreign trade and probable
movements Of gold Is not commonly realized.
If the imports in October 1896 were not merely
SJ0,000,000. as officially returned. but about
100000 more in actual value, the apparent
excess Of exports was only about S53,0o0,00O in
that month. But under the present tariff spc-

C4NdD4'S HOME FOES.

Sir WfrId Iaurier IS unfortunate in some Of
the party foes he leaves behind him. II was
to be hoped that In the presence Of so impor-
tant an undertaking rs that in which the Prime
Minister is now engaged at Washington the
voice Of faction would be flushed, at least suf-
Gcicntly TO cause him 40 embarrassment. APP
parcntly, however, partisanship is in the minds
Of some stronger than patriotism. Or perhaps
Il Is dislike Of the United States that is stronger
than regard for Canada's best interests. ON no
other ground than one OF these does It seem
possible to explain the utterances of Sir Charles
Topper at the so-called non-poltlcal banquet
at Vancouver on Tuesday night. IL Is well
known, OF course, that Sir Charles IS one of
the btterest anti Americans In Canada, and one
Of the strongest opponents Of the present Cana
dian Government Blu. ii Is little surpriS-
ing and must be to judicious Canadians some
what annoying, that he should have chosen this,
OF all times for another Of his unfoundcd Gia-
tribes against the United States.
At a time when the Prime Minister Is trying
TO negotiate a treaty Of reciprocity It is GER
tanly most inopportune Tor IA former Minister
TO revive the stale cry about hostile tariffs"
and coercion" Nothing could be more ma
lciously designed TO arouse illfeelng and 10

ment's benencent scheme. Nothing could be

nothing could be more untrue than TO char
acterize the American tariff hostile the
American attitude toward Canada ms an at

signed to protect American interests, not 10

but conservative. There is not an item IN 1t

Canada or any other nation. This country does

estimate Of them, II may be said as an illustra-
ton that an average Of per cent under the
present tariff would make the probable value
Of imports in October about sol 100000. against
SG0,000,OO0 last year il undervaluations then
averaged 20 Ter cent, so that the resulting ex-
cess of exports would be about SS.o0O.OOO larger
than year ago II the valIe OF exports were the
same.
Last year gold exports ceased with August
and through arrangements Of bankers the ac-
emulation Of credits against Europe began
which was not wholly cancelled until May. II
was believed that the amount of exchange thus
held over here, constituting n deferred claim
against foreign bankers was more than SOO
100000 and the course Of trade and exchange
corresponds with the estimate. The nominal
excess Of exports in the last four months of
1896 was S214.00O.000. but deductng 20 per cent
of imports for undcrvauations, it would he
about $lI2. 600, 900, and allowance for interest
and dividends due abroad and expenditures Of
Americans in foreign countries might reduce II
to S122. 900. 900, against which the net imports
or specie were about S60,000.000. which would
leave 1000. 900 unpaid. This year the enor
nous increase OF imports in Apr-July, inclu-
sive, was nearly or quite balanced by the end
Of August. II exchange movements are trust
worthy so that the heavy excess Of mcrchan-
disc exports in September and October hive not
only brought in a large amount OF gold. but have
created net credit Of deferred exchange against
Europe which already amounts 10 some mill
ions. II the present state Of trade continues,
either imports of gold or accumulation Of credits
will before long reach an amount considerably
exceeding the imports and deferred exchange
last year.
